Here's some information on how to use a fluid feeder. The first step is to measure the length of tube to be inserted, which is the distance from the tip of the calf's nose to the point of its elbow behind the front leg, usually 45 cm or more. This point can be marked on the tube with a piece of tape. The calf should ideally be standing while fluids are being administered so that they are less likely to back up and enter its lungs. However, even calves that are too weak to stand can be tubed in a sitting position or while lying down. Using a stomach tube is easier when calves are restrained.

It is usually attached to a plastic container holding the liquid feed. We handle a full line of Fluid Feeders for Calves, as well as colostrum products and electrolytes for calves.

Calves with severe dehydration that are too feeble to drink themselves can also be stomach tubed. Merrick's oral bottle feeders come with a 2 qt feeder, a flexible probe, and a nipple.
