What is a milk taxi?

In brief. A milk taxi is a stainless steel tank on wheels for calf feeding: a built-in mixer blends the feed without lumps, and the taxi pasteurizes milk, holds it at 38 °C, measures out portions and carries the feed to the feeding point. Switch-on and heating can be set on a timer, and batteries allow it to run without mains power.

The milk taxi for calves is becoming an increasingly popular tool for feeding young cattle. The unit looks like a stainless steel tank on wheels. Despite its apparently simple design, the taxi not only carries feed to the feeding point but can also prepare the mix to set parameters, maintain the required temperature and even measure out the right amount of feed when feeding the young stock. It can also pasteurize milk, which significantly reduces the risk of disease in the herd.

The milk taxi is simple and convenient to use and, most importantly, requires no special knowledge to operate.

Among other advantages, this mobile milk station:

• Mixes all the ingredients of the milk feed thoroughly and without lumps thanks to the built-in mixer. Calves digest the prepared feed better and grow stronger and healthier;
• Can maintain the optimum temperature (38 °C) at all times.
• Has a simple design that makes the equipment easy to wash and disinfect.
• Lets you set the switch-on and heating times with a timer.
• Moves easily and is manoeuvrable enough for small barns.
• Can operate without mains power thanks to its batteries.

So, despite the outlay, buying such a unit undoubtedly pays off — not only economically, but also in terms of herd health.
