Frequently Asked Questions About the CalfExpert
How does the CalfExpert handle individual calf feeding?
The CalfExpert calf feeder mixes the milk fresh for each calf. Any residual milk is kept warm and flushed out of the system following longer drinking breaks, ensuring maximum hygiene and feeding suitable for every individual animal.
How fast does the CalfExpert feed calves?
We have accelerated the mixing process and the change of calves in the CalfExpert, thereby optimising utilisation of the HygieneStations. Milk is mixed quickly and can be called up at the feeding station after just 3 seconds. Once the milk meal is finished, a switch is immediately made to the second feeding station.
How many calves can one CalfExpert feed?
With the NEW QuadroFlex system, four calves can feed at the same time with two PowerMixers. This allows 120 calves to be fed at 4 HygieneStations.
How long does it take to train a calf?
Calves learn to feed on the CalfExpert system very quickly, especially when using the built in calf-training feature.
How does the CalfExpert help with the weaning process?
CalfExpert prepares your calves in a particularly gentle way for the intake of concentrate and roughage. It reduces the amount of feed at the end of rearing in small steps of 0.1 l per day and thus stimulates the development of the forestomach system.
Does the CalfExpert support milk replacer?
The system supports milk replacer and whole milk, catering to different feeding preferences and calf requirements.
How does the CalfExpert handle fluctuations in whole milk supply?
The CalfExpert whole milk program allows flexible adjustment of whole milk proportions or supplementation with CMR. With the "EvenMilk" control system, it ensures balanced mixing of whole milk and CMR, even when whole milk supply fluctuates, avoiding digestion issues caused by abrupt changes between whole milk and powdered milk.
Does the CalfExpert automatically clean itself?
Yes, it features an automatic cleaning system to maintain hygiene after each feeding session.
Can the system be customized for individual calves?
Absolutely. The feeder allows for tailored feeding schedules and rations for each calf based on their age and health status.
How does the CalfExpert monitor calf health?
The feeder tracks each calf's feeding habits and milk intake, identifying changes that could indicate health issues.
What kind of maintenance does the CalfExpert require?
Minimal maintenance is needed thanks to its robust design and automatic cleaning features. Regular checks are recommended to ensure optimal performance.

Thanks Calf-Star!
Out with the old and in with the new, updated the milk taxi this week. The old one was used when we bought it and was giving us enough grief with electrical issues that we finally took the plunge on a new one. Happy calves and less headaches. Thanks Calf-Star!
It makes choring a 200 head calf nursery by myself possible.
With the warm weather rolling in it’s time for calf jackets to come off! It’s days like today I am extra thankful we went with the milk taxi. I managed to remove and stack all 100 jackets on the taxi during my evening milk feeding. With the calves distracted with their milk removing the coats was a breeze. Shout...
That makes for happy farmers & calves!
Calves LOVE consistency. They get fed the same amount of milk at the same time every morning and night. We use a milk taxi, which is essentially a pasteurizer on wheels to feed them. Now before someone says oh why don’t they get their mothers milk you greedy farmers?! Don’t you worry, this...
