Anti sucker

In the world of cattle farming, weaning calves is a common practice that involves gradually getting them used to doing without their mother's milk so they can feed themselves independently.

Why wean calves from their mothers?

This step is useful for several reasons: it allows management of milk production for dairy cows, prevents exhaustion of mothers in the case of beef breeds, and promotes food independence of young cattle.

Using a weaning ring to wean a calf

To wean a calf, a device called a weaning ring or anti-sucking device can be used, which is fixed in the nostrils of the calf.

This device is designed to discourage the calf from sucking by making the act uncomfortable for the mother or by making it unnecessary for the calf, as it cannot obtain milk. Installing this tool requires a special clamp to ensure a safe and comfortable fit for the animal.

Some points to keep an eye on after fitting a weaning ring:

It's important to monitor the calf after fitting to ensure that it is feeding properly on solid foods and that it shows no signs of distress.

Additionally, you should regularly check that the weaning ring is properly in place to ensure it obviously does not cause injury.
