Anti-self-locking wheel, metal, Kerbl

The metal anti-sucking nose ring is a mechanical livestock management device designed to permanently eliminate suckling behavior in cattle. This behavior, involving self-suckling or suckling milk from other animals, leads to economic losses and increases the risk of udder infections. This model features an innovative protective design that combines the effectiveness of traditional methods with improved animal welfare.

Application

The product is intended for calves during weaning and for adult cattle exhibiting unwanted suckling behavior. It is suitable for dairy and beef cattle farms. The ring is fitted to the animal's nasal septum without piercing the tissue, making it a practical and humane solution for everyday herd management.

Operating Principle

The device is built around a durable metal frame whose shape prevents the animal from reaching another cow's udder without causing discomfort. A key feature is the protective flexible plastic tips, which improve hygiene and safety. These tips are anatomically shaped to cushion the pressure of the metal parts on the soft tissues of the nose.

In Practice

• Nasal septum protection → Flexible protective caps help prevent irritation, chafing, and mechanical injuries, making the ring suitable for long-term use.
• Mechanical durability → The metal construction offers excellent resistance to bending and breakage, ensuring reliable performance even with strong adult cattle.
• Bloodless installation → The special design allows the ring to be fitted without piercing tissue, reducing stress and eliminating the risk of nasal inflammation.
• Preventive effectiveness → The device keeps animals at a distance, protecting teats from mechanical damage and secondary bacterial infections.
