Trusti Flexi Tuber Calf Stomach Tube
Product Benefits
- Ultimate Safety: Designed specifically to eliminate the risk of airway placement, making it exceptionally safe even for less experienced handlers.
- Flexible & Gentle: The highly flexible tube contours naturally to the calf's anatomy, preventing bruising, throat scratches, or airway pressure.
- Calm Feeding Experience: Clinically proven to reduce calf behavioral stress and kicking by up to 88% compared to rigid, traditional metal or plastic probes.
- High Flow Rate: Engineered with a specialized high-flow mechanism that allows thick, nutrient-rich colostrum to flow quickly, cutting feeding time in half.
- Visual Safety Markers: Features integrated size rings and a depth-guiding stopper to ensure precise, worry-free placement every single time.
- Easy to Clean: The transparent, medical-grade tube material allows for quick visual inspection and simple, thorough sanitation.
Usage & Indications
- Critical Colostrum Delivery: The ultimate tool for safely administering vital first-milk (colostrum) to newborn calves within the critical first hours of life.
- Emergency Hydration: Ideal for rapid administration of life-saving electrolytes, nutritional fluids, or medications to sick, weak, or lethargic livestock.
- Farm Efficiency: A must-have veterinary and herd-management tool for dairy and beef operations aiming to lower calf mortality rates.
Dosage & Administration
- System Setup: Screw the Flexi Tuber assembly securely onto a compatible 4-liter Trusti feeding bottle or colostrum bag.
- Depth Adjustment: Slide the integrated safety stopper along the tube to match the calf’s estimated weight and size, locking in the correct insertion depth.
- Insertion Process: Place the ergonomic mouthpiece comfortably into the front of the calf's muzzle. Gently slide the flexible tube through the mouthpiece and advance it smoothly down into the esophagus.
- Fluid Delivery: Once the safety stopper reaches the mouthpiece (confirming correct depth), elevate the bottle or bag to let the colostrum or fluid flow naturally via gravity.
- Post-Use Care: Remove the tube gently, flush the entire system immediately with hot soapy water, rinse with clean water, and hang vertically to air dry.
