HK Calving Aid Wings for Cattle Calving Equipment
Description
HK Calving Aid Wings - Replacement Component for Assisted Calving
The HK Calving Aid Wings are the wing section of a cattle calving aid - the part that rests against the cow to spread and stabilise the load while traction is applied during an assisted calving. They are intended as a spare or replacement part for dairy and suckler farms, relief stockpeople and veterinary practices that already use a compatible calving aid unit.
Best for farms that want a spare on the shelf before calving season starts, rather than discovering a worn or damaged wing in the middle of a difficult calving. Manufactured in Germany by HK. Browse more farm and livestock kit in our Agrihealth collection.

How to Use
- Check the wings are compatible with your existing calving aid before use, as fittings differ between makes and models.
- Inspect the wings and the complete aid for cracks, wear or distortion, and withdraw any damaged part from service.
- Clean and disinfect the equipment, and restrain the cow safely in a calving gate or suitable pen.
- Position the wings against the cow so the load is spread evenly and the aid sits stable.
- Apply steady, controlled traction in time with the cow's own contractions, never using excessive force.
- Stop and call your veterinary surgeon if the calving is not progressing or you are in any doubt.
- Wash with warm water and a farm disinfectant after use, dry fully and store clean and dry.
