Did you know?...

With 'peach teats' patented collapsing flap-valve, they're designed to function like a real cows teat, whilst being self-cleaning and resist blocking.

Even better... we've had a price drop on ours 😏

LICE! The little blighters!

Heavy lice infestations cause irritation which results in reduced lying time and feeding leading to reduced weight gain.

Ask one of our team for the best advice and the best product for the job!

What are the signs that a skim milk replacer may not be clotting correctly?

Poor calf health and performance: including dirty bum and tails, runny faeces, unsettled calves, inconsistent growth rates. Our Fresh Start® range includes high quality skim only.

Ask a Perkins team member to help find the best milk replacer to suit your farm.
