Hiko Bar Feeder Tubing Replacement Feeder Tube
Description
Hiko Bar Feeder Tubing — Replacement Tube for Hiko Bar Feeders
Hiko Bar Feeder Tubing is a replacement length of flexible tube for Hiko bar feeder systems, carrying milk or milk replacer from the feeder container through to the teat. It is intended for livestock keepers running calf, lamb or kid rearing routines who need a clean, serviceable spare on hand.
Feeder tubing wears with daily use and repeated washing, so most units keep spares ready. Swapping a single length keeps the whole feeder in service and hygiene standards consistent through the rearing season.
