Anti Sucker Plastic

Tough nose piece that is easily attached to weanling nose. The spikes then act as an iritant to the cow when the weanling tries to suck, resulting in her not allowing them to suck.Used for weaning calves. 

The Plastic Anti Suckler Spiked​  is attached in between the nostrils of the weanling/ animal suckling another. The Plastic Anti Suckler Spiked​  is lightweight and will not irritate the animal. When the animal tries to suckle from the cow the strategically placed spikes will irritate the cow and she will back away from the weanling or animal suckling. This will mean the cow will wean the animal herself and encourage the weanling to eat more. Because the weanling is with it's mother during the weaning process the whole experience is less stressful for both mother and weanling. When no longer needed the Plastic Anti Suckler Spiked​  can be removed in seconds and stored away for the next weaning season.

Overview

The Anti Sucker Plastic is an innovative and practical tool designed to address the challenges of suckling behavior in young livestock, particularly calves. This behavior, if left unchecked, can lead to health complications, nutritional imbalances, and injuries, both for the suckling animal and the one being suckled. The device is a humane and effective solution for managing this behavior, ensuring the well-being of the herd and improving farm productivity.
