Calf rearing is still the most sensitive area in dairy farming. Feeding hygiene in particular is a high-priority issue. In fact, it is still very common to see open drinking buckets on calf igloos because, especially when feeding with a milk cab, removing and refitting lids takes a considerable amount of time, which many people shy away from. However, open drinking buckets greatly facilitate the entry of dirt and, above all, flies in summer.
With the Easyfill drinking bucket lid, Hiko offers a simple and above all practical solution to this problem. The lid has a self-closing opening through which the filler neck of the milk shuttle can be inserted at any time and the bucket filled. As the handling hardly differs from filling without a lid, a high level of acceptance among staff can be expected.
With the Easyfill drinking bucket lid, the drinking buckets remain tightly closed, preventing foreign matter such as dirt or flies from entering as far as possible.
