Product Description
The original HIKO Floating Teat Feeder is an innovative, highly hygienic calf feeding solution designed to draw milk exclusively from the clean surface layer of feeding buckets or supply tanks.
Engineered by German livestock feeding specialists HIKO GmbH in Ulm, this floating system ensures calves consume warm, pristine milk while preventing the intake of settled debris, sediment, or unmixed feed particles at the bottom of the vessel.
Equipped with a high-durability, food-grade teat and an integrated non-return valve, the floating unit keeps milk primed for immediate suckling without backflow. Crafted from acid-resistant, non-toxic materials, the HIKO Floating Teat Feeder promotes natural suckling behavior, supports optimal digestion, and drastically reduces the risk of gastrointestinal infections in young calves.
Hygienic Surface Intake: Floating disc draws milk from the clean upper layer, preventing the intake of bottom sediment and sludge.
Integrated Non-Return Valve: Maintains liquid in the suction tube for instant milk flow as soon as the calf suckles.
Natural Suckling Promotion: Encourages correct saliva production and digestion, reducing cross-suckling behavior among calves.
Universally Adaptable: Fits standard calf drinking buckets, milk taxi tanks, and open feeding containers.
Acid-Resistant & Food-Grade: Manufactured from robust, chemical-resistant plastic suitable for organic acids and harsh dairy detergents.
Quick Disassembly & Cleaning: Easy to dismantle without tools for thorough, hygienic sanitation between feedings.
Quality Made in Germany: Precision-engineered and produced at HIKO headquarters in Ulm (3rd generation family enterprise).
