Silver medal for calf feeder

A simple calf feeding idea was enough to win a silver medal for innovation at the big EuroTier animal husbandry show in Germany. The show is in November, but the six gold medal and 15 silver medal winners for innovation have been named.

The FixClip valve, pictured, is a silver medal winner for Albert Kerbl GmbH of Germany. They saw that calf feeding bucket drinker valves are usually firmly connected to the bucket, and very difficult to remove for cleaning, leading to hygiene problems. The FixClip valve can be mounted or removed quickly and easily, allowing fast and simple routine cleaning.

Computerised animal monitoring is built into the silver medal winning management systems for bucket-feeding calves, from German manufacturer Urban. Animal-related data such as how often they come to suck and drinking speed are recorded automatically and documented.
