Calf feeding bucket, "Food Safe", with scale, 8 l transparent, Kerbl

The Kerbl calf feeding bucket is a key piece of equipment in the rearing of young animals, designed for feeding milk or milk replacers. The product solves the problem of precise feed dosing and maintaining the highest hygiene standards, which are essential for the healthy development of calves and the prevention of digestive system infections.

Application

The bucket is intended for use in professional livestock farms:

• individual feeding of calves kept in hutches or pens,
• tie-stall and free-range systems where equipment mobility is required,
• rearing of other young ruminants (with the use of a suitable teat),
• working environment: barns, calf houses, and areas with high temperature variability.

Operating principle

The bucket design is based on a gravity-fed liquid delivery system through a teat (usually sold separately or together with a valve). The transparent walls allow the breeder to quickly assess the animal’s appetite without looking inside. The embossed measuring scale enables precise portioning of liquid feed, preventing overfeeding and reducing waste of expensive milk replacers.

In practice

• Food Safe certification → the bucket material is completely safe for animal health, does not react with milk fats, and is free from toxic substances.
• Transparency → allows visual control of the remaining liquid quantity even from a greater distance, improving work efficiency in calf housing.
• Mechanical resistance → high-quality Kerbl material guarantees resistance to cracks and impacts caused by energetic animals.
• Hygiene (flat bottom) → smooth internal surfaces facilitate thorough cleaning and disinfection, minimizing the risk of bacterial growth and calf diarrhea.
