Westwaard Calf Milk Bottle Washer Testimonials
Before installing the Westwaard pasteurizer with bottle washer attachment, Pendora Dairy was feeding all the calves on bottles with milk replacer. They used a wash rack that allowed for a hot water rinse, but no soap or acid. About once a week they would put all the bottles in the sink with soap and sanitize them. Now it’s as easy as pushing a button!
Over the last year Rick and Ingrid attended several meetings on calf health and pasteurization and they have come to understand the importance and benefits of feeding calves pasteurized milk. They looked at a competitive pasteurizer at the same price point as the Westwaard at the CDX farm show in Stratford, ON., but found it too simple and not as professional. Rick said they were already working with Dairy Lane Systems on a DariTech BeddingMaster when Dairy Lane introduced the Westwaard pasteurizer and bottle washer combination to them ...
“We have had the system running for a few weeks and to this point, we have been very happy with it. The bottle washer does a great job and it has been nice to omit the extra chore of washing bottles in the sink.
Since it has only been two weeks, we cannot say a lot on the pasteurization side, but we do expect, based on the research we have done, that we will see bigger gains in the calves with the pasteurized milk. Also, we have extra milk so it makes sense to use it for the calves.”
