Calf Suckling Preventer

Description

The Calf Suckling Preventer in Kenya is a practical livestock training toolused to stop calves from suckling milk directly from their mother or other cows. This helps farmers control feeding, prevent over-dependence on milk, and encourage calves to start feeding on grass, hay, and concentrates early.

This anti-suckling nose ring is designed to be lightweight and comfortable, placed gently on the calf’s nose without causing harm.

This is an essential tool during the weaning stage.
