PitStop feeder provides dairy cows with an extra supplement of minerals and vitamins in addition to their normal total mixed ration. In the critical period after calving, where cows are not eating enough of their normal feed ration, they mobilise energy from their body, but their reserves of minerals and vitamins are extremely limited in this period. By offering the cows extra minerals and vitamins in an ad-lib mixture this deficiency can be rectified.
Cows’ natural need for water and minerals is not diminished in the critical period ensuring that the cows will find their way to the feeder. The lid is easily opened with a one-hand snap lock for handy filling directly from a bucket or a bag.
The feeder has a volume of 48 litres corresponding to approx. 50 kg granulated minerals. The feeder is made of strong PEHD plastic and the front lid protects against urine and manure. PitStop can for instance be mounted on a wall by the water trough or be mounted on gratings both indoor and outdoor by using the enclosed mountings.
