Agrihealth Metal Spiked Suckling Preventor
Make the weaning process less stressful with the Agrihealth Metal Spiked Suckling Preventor, a durable and reusable anti-suckling device designed to encourage natural weaning while allowing calves to remain with the herd.
Manufactured from lightweight aluminium, this adjustable anti-suckler is built for repeated use. It can be easily cleaned and disinfected between animals, making it a practical and cost-effective solution for livestock management.
The preventor fits securely through the calf's nostrils and is designed for comfort, with a lightweight construction that helps minimise irritation. When the calf attempts to suckle, the carefully positioned spikes discourage the cow by creating mild discomfort, prompting her to move away. This natural response encourages the calf to rely less on milk and begin consuming more forage and feed.

How to Use
Attach the suckling preventor securely between the nostrils of the calf or young animal that is suckling. Adjust the fit to ensure it sits comfortably and securely. When the animal attempts to suckle, the spikes discourage the cow from allowing nursing, helping the young animal transition to solid feed while remaining within the herd.
