How do nose-flaps prevent nursing / how affective are they?
The nose-tag acts as a physical barrier preventing calves from getting a teat into their mouth. Recent feedback from producers suggest there can be considerable variation between farms in the number of calves that figure out a way to suck while wearing our nose tag (e.g. 5-30%). In our own test trials a small proportion of calves (fewer than 10%) did manage to suck despite wearing the device. We are highly dedicated to improving the overall effectiveness of our nose-flaps. Your suggestions are essential to help us in this process and we strongly encourage all who use our product to send feedback about their experience!
