A calf weaner is a special device worn on a calf's nose that physically prevents it from suckling the cow's udder, allowing for a stress-free gradual weaning process and avoiding growth stagnation or high disease incidence caused by forced separation.
Scientific value:
Reduces diarrhea rates in calves during weaning (reduces dependence on mother's milk → promotes rumen development)
Avoids stress-induced pneumonia from traditional weaning (sudden separation of calf and mother → decreased immunity)
Averages 7-10 days earlier completion of weaning transition
Nose ring base: Food-grade PP plastic (flexible and bite-resistant) for securing in the calf's nostril
Stimulating spikes: Conical soft rubber prongs (length 8-12mm) to lightly prick the cow's udder and trigger rejection of suckling behavior
Anti-fallout design: Adjustable clasp/elastic wing for fitting different nose sizes (Ø3-4.5cm)
Suitable age: 60-90 days old (weight ≥70kg), too early fitting may affect feeding
Timing for wearing: When calves consume at least 1 kg of concentrate feed continuously for 3 days (indicating mature rumen function). Installation steps: Disinfect the nose ring → Squeeze the calf's nasal septum → Insert the base → Adjust the clip (leave a one-finger gap). Observation of effects: Success indicators: The cow kicks the calf away from her udder, and the calf attempts to suckle no more than twice a day. Removal criteria: After wearing for 7-14 days, if the calf consumes 1.5 kg of concentrate feed daily and shows no decrease in cud chewing.
