Heatwave® Ad-Lib On-Demand Milk Warmer
Replicate natural nursing behavior and maximize live weight gains across your calf, lamb, and goat kid rearing units. Designed and manufactured in the UK, the Heatwave® Milk Warmer is an industry-leading ad-lib feeding system engineered to provide warm, fresh milk on demand 24/7. Rather than forcing young stock to consume large, stressful meals at fixed times, the Heatwave® allows animals to feed “little and often”—reducing digestive pressure, virtually eliminating nutritional scours, and saving hours of daily hand-feeding labor during peak lambing and calving seasons.

Description
Transformative Ad-Lib Rearing Capacities
A single Heatwave® Milk Warmer unit is fully equipped to support high-density seasonal stock groups:
-
Up to 30 Calves (using supplied heavy-duty calf teats)
-
Up to 50 Lambs or Goat Kids (using supplied Supersuckler lamb teats)
By allowing calves and lambs to feed naturally according to their internal hunger cues, the abomasum (fourth stomach) never becomes overfilled. This optimizes protein absorption, encourages earlier solid feed/starter intake, and supports rapid growth rates.

⚠ Best-Practice Rearing Advice:
-
Always ensure fresh, clean drinking water and a high-protein starter pellet are freely available alongside the Heatwave® system to encourage early rumen development.
-
Position non-return valves close to the teats so milk remains primed in the line, allowing newborn animals to receive milk instantly on the first suck.
