STORE & THAW Colostrum Management System

The Store & Thaw System

Allows colostrum to be tested, packaged & frozen. The thawing system defrosts colostrum rapidly and can also be used for pasteurisation if required.

Efficient Collection

Allows efficient collection of colostrum so that it can be tested and frozen for future use.

RABDF Award Winner 2016

The RABDF Livestock Machinery and Equipment Award made to the product that delivers the most economic value to the livestock sector was presented to Pyon Products at the Livestock Event held at The NEC, Birmingham on 6 and 7 July.

Good Start

The calf benefits from a good start whenever it is born, and the farmer benefits from a better lifestyle, establishing a good protocol throughout the day and night.

Starter Kit

This kit contains a colostrometer or refractometer for testing, a filling station, jug and funnel with 40 bags .It also has freezer trays, labels & pen. A thermometer is included to check the feeding temperature

Thawing Tank

The double walled insulated tank houses 2 stainless steel baskets, the portable Thaw Unit clamps to the side, and the insulated lid prevents heat escaping. The calf has clean, warm, colostrum ready to drink within minutes of being born, ensuring efficient antibody transfer.

Storage Bags

Store & Thaw Colostrum bags are multi layered with welded seams for extra strength. The wide mouth corner gland allows for quick filling and emptying. They are 5 litre bags which can be filled with up to 4 litres of colostrum, but a quicker thaw will be achieved storing 2 litres of colostrum per bag.

Colostrum feeders

The Speedyfeeder bottle comes with a teat and a tube alternative. The bottle has a valve to allow a fast or slow flow. Our most popular feeding bottle to date. We recommend the 4 litre version.

While the majority of calf rearers like to tip the colostrum into a teated feeding bottle, sometimes it’s quicker to feed via an oesophageal tube. It’s important that a Vet shows a novice how to use a tube, as incorrect use can cause drowning.

Trusti Tuber

We offer 2 tubes which connect directly to the Store & Thaw bag. Feeding direct from the bag can prevent contamination from a dirty bottle.

The Trusti Tuber is a novel product designed by a Vet from New Zealand. The tube has graduated weights marked on it, so it gives a guide on how far to insert the tube for a 20kg, 50kg, 80kg and 110kg calf. It comes complete with a Store& Thaw bag connector.

Mini Calf Feeder

The Mini Calf Feeder is a tube with a small bulb designed to be comfortable for small breeds and premature calves. It comes complete with a Store &Thaw bag connector and a pinch clamp on the tube.

Colostrum Carrier Bag

Handling a wet slippery calf and a colostrum bag requires patience and dexterity. We provide a colostrum carrier bag so the warm colostrum can be lowered when inserting the tube, carried across the shoulder, or hooked onto a hurdle when dispensing by gravity. The rope bag has an adjustable strap and is reusable, robust and washable.
