One of the most difficult and stressful things about weaning is separating the weanling from it's mother. But using a Spiked Anti Suckler will let a weanling stay with the herd during the weaning process. The Spiked Anti Suckler is a used and tried and tested method of weaning and is made from a durable aluminium so that is can be disinfected and used over and over again.
How the Spiked Anti Suckler works
The Spiked Anti Suckler is attached in between the nostrils of the weanlin/ animal sucking another animal. The Spiked Anti Suckler is fully adjustable and lightweight and will not irritate the weanling. 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. This means the mother will wean herself and encourage the weanling to eat more. Because the animal is still with the herd during the weaning process the whole experience is less stressful for all concerned. When no longer needed the Spiked Anti Suckler can be removed in seconds and stored away for the next weaning season.
