It is best for sheep and goat keepers who need a controlled, one-handed feeding tool during lambing and kidding, and it also suits crias and fawns.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eUnlike pressurised drenchers, the Trusti Tuber relies on gravity, so flow is slower and easier to control. Safety indicator strips on the tube show when it is correctly positioned, and the specialised tip is shaped to help prevent inadvertent airway insertion.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e240ml capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e - one large feed or two smaller feeds without refilling\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOne-handed operation\u003c\/strong\u003e with an easy-hold handle\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety indicator strips\u003c\/strong\u003e so you know when the tube is safely positioned\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecialised tube tip\u003c\/strong\u003e to help prevent inadvertent airway insertion\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGravity flow, not pressurised\u003c\/strong\u003e - safer and easier to control\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransparent tube\u003c\/strong\u003e - watch the milk flow and see when the tube is clean\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHole at the tube end, not the side\u003c\/strong\u003e - good flow plus full-length cleaning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStable base\u003c\/strong\u003e - stands upright so the vial can be pre-filled\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMix powdered colostrum in the vial\u003c\/strong\u003e, or milk straight from the ewe or nanny into it\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTube clip\u003c\/strong\u003e keeps the tube off the ground for better hygiene\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible, gentle tube\u003c\/strong\u003e that is firm enough not to coil in the throat\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEye-catching colour\u003c\/strong\u003e makes it easy to find around the pens\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShoof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTrusti Lamb and Kid Tuber\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCapacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e240ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFlow\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGravity, non-pressurised\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTube\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTransparent, flexible, end-hole design, safety indicator strips\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLambs, kids, crias, fawns\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandling\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne-handed use, easy-hold handle, stable base, tube clip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew Zealand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eStand the tuber on its stable base and fill the vial - mix powdered colostrum in it, or milk the ewe or nanny directly into it.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSit the lamb or kid upright on your knee or the ground, supporting its head and neck in a natural position.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePass the tube gently over the tongue and down the throat, allowing the lamb to swallow it.
