Dairy Tech Matilda - WARM; From COOL; From FROZEN

24
WARM
In this cycle, the Perfect Udder® bags will warm to your pre-set Feeding Temperature and then hold
there for your pre-set Feeding Dwell Time. Do not take the bags from the machine early as there may
still be ice in the bag which will lead to poor colostrum absorption and loss of energy for the calf.
You have two Warming profiles to choose from:
1. From COOL: Use this option when warming colostrum
that has been refrigerated.
or
2. From FROZEN: Use this option when warming
colostrum that has been frozen.
NOTE: The parameters for setting these temperatures
and dwell times can be adjusted in the Settings menu.
(see Adjust Settings)
WARNING: Feeding at a temperature HIGHER than 110°F/43°C can cause serious injury to the calf.
Matilda® will sound an ALERT to notify you when your
selected profile is complete (If you are using the Perfect
Udder® app, you can also receive this notification on your
phone.)
Lift the lid(s) and carefully remove the bags from the
equipment. The bags of colostrum are now ready for
feeding or STORAGE, depending on your profile selection.
Always check the temperature of the colostrum before feeding to make certain it is not too hot (>110F) or too cold (<90F)
MANAGEMENT HINT: Colostrum fed either too hot or too cold will have a great impact on absorption of IgG. Colostrum
greater than 110°F can be dangerous for the calf. Cold colostrum can also deplete the calf of much needed energy and can
often lead to failure of passive transfer.
