HK Calving Aid Plates for Cattle Calving Equipment
Description
HK Calving Aid Plates - Replacement Plates for Cattle Calving Equipment
HK Calving Aid Plates are replacement plates for HK calving aid equipment, used on cattle farms when assisting cows and heifers during calving. They are a component part rather than a complete calving aid, so they are best for stockpeople who already own a compatible HK unit and want to keep it serviceable.
Made in Germany, these plates suit dairy and suckler herds, smallholdings and farm stores stocking up before the calving season. You can see the wider farm and livestock range in our agrihealth collection.

FAQ
Are these a complete calving aid? No. They are replacement plates supplied as a component part for a calving aid, not a full calving aid unit.
Will they fit my calving aid? They are made for HK calving aid equipment. Check the fitting on your existing unit before ordering, as calving aids differ between manufacturers.
What animals are they for? Cattle - cows and heifers being assisted at calving.
How should the plates be cleaned? Wash and disinfect after every calving, dry thoroughly and store somewhere dry to help prevent corrosion and cross-contamination between animals.
Where are they made? The country of origin is Germany.
Who should use a calving aid? Only an experienced, trained stockperson or someone working under veterinary direction. Misuse can injure the cow or the calf.
