Durable and Effective
Insect-A-Sock
Our two inch diameter sock attaches to the outside of our flap. The sock is filled with acrylic fibers. Insecticide solution clings to the surface of the fibers. As one of your animals lifts the flap to eat mineral, the solution wicks away from the fibers to treat the face, head and shoulders.
The proper use of our Insect-A-Sock helps to control face flies, lice, ticks and mosquitoes. Face flies are common transmitters of bacteria which cause pink eye.
...Continued
Use an EPA approved insecticide and follow the instructions. Mix insecticide with a carrier not known to cause eye or skin irritation. The carrier should be pH neutral and cost effective. Re-charge the sock with about one gallon of mix every 7 to 10 days during
fly season
Why Purchase Our Mineral Feeder?
Why you want to purchase our mineral feeder and not purchase any mineral feeder on a pedestal or otherwise elevated:
Cows eating with their heads in the downward “natural grazing position” produced 17% more saliva than those eating from an elevated surface. Additional salivation had a direct positive influence on the efficiency of rumen function. Overall digestion was significantly enhanced.
Milking cows were observed for the occurrence of feedtossing behavior. About 10% of the cows engaged in this excessive sorting and throwing of feed. As a result of feed tossing over their backs and along their sides, feed wastage for these cows ranged up to 10 percent. When given the choice of eating from an elevated (28 cm - 11 inches) bunk versus one at ground level, the cows chose the lower level and feed tossing was not observed. The authors of this study concluded that feed sorting and throwing is an engineering problem. The solution is designing equipment which permits cattle to feed “in the natural, head-down, grazing-like position.”
