How often are you cleaning this bucket? Also, I know it’s easy for kids to over eat and get scours, how do you monitor this issue with group feedings?

I only have calves but from what I understand nipple design is key to avoiding nutritional scours, they need to salivate and work for it. Sucking and stripping the nipple properly not holding it open or pumping it to cheat. I had a friend that cut and enlarged the X on the tip and I told him Nooooooooooo bad decision. Just feed and be patient I said lol Getting enough saliva and for it to enter slow enough for it to start clot forming and not leaking into the small intestine is why design is imprtant...or not altering them too much. I'm not sure what feeding rate should be for kids but for calves I try to keep it way less than half a liter a minute. Peach teats are a good design as are the ones on milk bars. I've used cheaper one before but check them in store for orifice size...smaller or not even cut open right is best then I can customize it lol. Manufacturing defects are sometimes good I guess in that sense haha

Is the purpose of nipples at the top with tubes, versus bottom of bucket and no straws, to prevent leaking?

Very helpful video. Thank you. And do you always feed cold milk? Or do you start them on warm bottles then transition them to this cold lamb-bar?

Yes, they get warm milk the first 36 hours or so until they are on the lumbar around day two. I usually just switch them cold turkey with cold milk.

Can you get the nipples and tubing on Amazon? If so, do you have a link for them?

If you scroll through the options on the lambar set up, you can see where you can purchase the individual components

How much do you use of the calf colostrum replacement powder
@inthemilkroom45424 жыл бұрын
I mix it according to the directions on the package which differ by manufacturer. I usually have several does kid at once, so mixing up a couple quarts at a time is not a problem. You could mix half a batch or even a quarter too, if you only need it for a couple kids.

Thank you again! I've done clips in the past, but never up far enough to see the dip when those ligaments disappear. Always just felt for them, but great idea. I've been raising goats for almost 15 years. Always something new to learn :)

So glad you found it helpful! And yes, I learn something new every year too! #lovegoatlife

Thanks! I've been holding off bottle feeding due to working off farm most days and not having anyone to feed them while I'm gone. I may have to rethink that now :)
