Description
It is essential that newborn calves receive colostrum or the first milk from their mother. This establishes their immune system. Using a Oral Calf Tube feeder ensures that the calf receives the amount required rather than depending on the calf nursing.
The Oral Calf Tube Feeder allows the worker with back and arm impairments to feed the calf without staying bent over. The tube can be inserted while the hose is clamped shut, and the the bag simply hung or held while the clamp is released and the milk enters the stomach, minimizing the chance of inhalation of milk. Other calf feeders require both hands to hold the container upside down while inserting the tube, then turn over the bottle. This can be difficult and clumsy for workers with hand and arm impairments.
Workers with common conditions such as these would benefit from a calf self-feeder: Arm Amputation, Back Pain, Balance / Core Stability, Diabetes/Diabetic Neuropathy, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Hand Injury, Herniated Disc, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Neck Injury, Old-Age, Scoliosis-Kyphosis-Lordosis, Spinal Cord Injury, Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Rheumatoid Arthritis.
