The Trusti Tuber;

• A unique new colostrum feeding set!
• The design ensures that drenching the calf is safer, easier and more comfortable for the calf.
• It makes feeding faster and with less stress for both calf and farmer.
• The Trusti Tuber starter kit, made by Antahi in New Zealand, consists of a mouthpiece that sits comfortably against the calf's muzzle, through which a soft flexible tube is guided.
• Using calf size markings and a stopper, the length of the tube can be adjusted for optimal placement.
• The mouthpiece and tube are easily held in the calf's mouth with one hand.
• With the other hand, the ergonomic 4-litre milk bottle can be held up to allow the colostrum or electrolytes to flow through the tube and safely into the calf's stomach.
• The Trusti Tuber has a clip on the side of the bottle to secure the mouthpiece and keep it off the floor, and the transparency of the tube allows for easier cleaning. The Trusti Tuber was developed in New Zealand by veterinarian Ursula Haywood.
• She noticed that farmers were often reluctant to drench calves.
• This was due to the associated stress and the possible misplacement of the tube/drench.
• During testing, it was found that the Trusti Tuber could reduce the time needed for feeding by almost half and reduced behavioural stress symptoms by 88%.
• The Trusti Tuber was developed to address issues around calf safety, calf comfort and usability with traditional oesophageal feeders. Make feeding comfortable for the calf and easy for you with the Trusti Feeder!

Instructions:

• The Trusti Tuber makes feeding calves simple.
• It is easy to hold in place with one hand, saves time and effort, and can be used for calves up to 200kg.
• 1) Position the mouthpiece so that the round protective ring sits comfortably against the calf's nose. Hold both the mouthpiece and the chin with one hand to guide the probe easily.
• 2) Slide the flexible probe through the mouthpiece so that it is safely guided into the oesophagus.
• 3) Raise the bottle so that the liquid begins to flow.
• Ensure that the calf's head and neck remain above the stomach.
• Make sure the probe does not come out of the oesophagus while liquid is being administered.
