Prevents Cross-Sucking:
Stops young calves from suckling on ears, navels, or udders of pen-mates, which can cause injuries or infections.
Reduces Udder Damage:
In adult cows, prevents self-sucking or sucking from other cows, helping avoid mastitis, udder deformity, and milk loss.
Supports Weaning:
Aids in the transition from milk to solid feed by discouraging oral fixation behaviors.
Non-Invasive and Reversible:
Devices are typically easy to apply and remove, offering a temporary, non-surgical solution.
Should only be used under supervision.
Check daily for signs of irritation, injury, or behavioral distress.
Ensure the animal can still eat, drink, and breathe normally.
Not a substitute for proper nutrition, social management, or behavioral enrichment.
