The LAC-TEK feeding machine mixes a small amount of milk at one time. The result is less spoilage and waste. It comes with 3 nipple holders and 6 drinking stations which are easily adapted to fit onto our welded wire panels.
New! Auto-feeding LAC-TEK Machine
Automatically mixes milk replacer with warm water and dispenses to lambs/kids.
We love this unit! You will too, if you have a large group of orphans. Premier has used this auto-feeding machine on our farm with over 100 lambs. It is much less work to feed and clean than milk buckets or bottles. At weaning, kids/lambs are of equal quality to those raised on a mother.
Simply attach the unit to a hydrant for water access (can also be used with a reservoir and pump).Milk replacer is stored in a hopper above a mixing chamber. A sensor indicates when to add replacer and water. Mixture flows partway through tubes via gravity. Sucking by lambs/kids pumps the milk to the nipples.
Premier carries replacement parts, including spare nipples. 6 month warranty.
