H&L Milk Taxi Pasteuriser

More and more dairy operators drench their cows to prevent post-calving problems. When she calves, the cows loses about 80 - 120 litres of volume and liquid within a short time. Therefore, the cow should be offered lukewarm water after calving to compensate this loss and prevent abomasal displacement. Nutrients can be added to this water to prevent milk fever and other metabolic diseases. If the cow’s water intake is below 30 - 40 litres, drenching should be used to pump liquid into her rumen. Common manual pumps, however, make it difficult to maintain the critical good view of the cow while drenching her. A combination of the pump of the Milk Taxi with a drenching fixture (hose approx. 1.5 m long with a stainless steel coil and a nostril clip) is now available. It allows administering large quantities of liquid to the cow while maintaining a good overview and control at any time.

Understanding drenching with the H&L Milk Taxi

1. Prepare and warm the drench in the Milk Taxi.
2. Gently insert the drenching hose through the cow’s throat into her rumen.
3. Check the operation by a smell test or by listening at the hunger groove.
4. Administer the drench using the Milk Taxi’s pump function.

Optimum control of the cow during the entire process because you’ve gotten rid of tedious manual pumping.
