QUICK is nice, but ACCURACY is EVERYTHING.
Matilda® Delivers Both!
We all know the value of making sure the calf receives her first dose of colostrum within the first hour of her life. But colostrum management is so much more than how “quick” it can be heated. Feeding the wrong volume of inferior colostrum can be as bad as not feeding any colostrum at all.
The correct amount of colostrum fed at the correct time.
In order to be set up for success, a calf must receive at least 15% of its body weight in CLEAN colostrum; 10% in the first hour of life, 5% more 8-10 hours later.
Proper volume depends on the size of the calf. That’s why our Perfect Udder® bags come in 3 calf-specific sizes!
- 4L for calves that weigh MORE than 30kg
- 3L for calves that weigh LESS than 30kg
- 2L for the second feeding of ALL calves
Matilda® is engineered to maximize the efficiency of our Perfect Udder® bags! She will pasteurize or warm up to 8 liters of colostrum quickly, but most importantly, correctly.
What does “Clean” mean?
It means pasteurized. Matilda® utilizes Dairy Tech’s proven pasteurization technology. Studies show that pasteurization is a key for control of pathogenic bacteria while at the same time improving the colonization of the gut with beneficial bacteria. Magic? Ask one of our calf specialists to explain.
Management and delivery of colostrum are critical.
Matilda® simplifies the entire colostrum management process. At half the price of any competitive product on the market, pasteurizing and warming your valuable colostrum has never been easier or more cost-effective.
Perfect Colostrum Management at Your Fingertips!
Fill your Perfect Udder® bag with your freshly collected colostrum, place the bag into Matilda’s waiting water bath and select “Pasteurize”. You can choose to “Feed Now” for immediate needs, or “to Store”. Dairy Tech’s proven pasteurization technology takes it from there and gently heat-treats your colostrum to ensure the greatest pathogen kill with the least amount of damage to the valuable IgGs.
When a calf is being born, pull a Perfect Udder bag of colostrum from your colostrum bank and place it into Matilda’s water bath and select “Warm”. You will be given the choice to warm “from Frozen” or “from Cold”. Choose whichever best describes your colostrum, and let Matilda take care of the rest. The same pasteurization technology that ensures accurate heat-treatment also works to warm your colostrum to the optimum feeding temperature for the calf.
