The Rural Voice, 1983-07, Page 31♦ d Hardware, WHAT'S NEW? fittings are constructed of stainless steel. Adjustable legs directly support the inner tank to prevent distortion and Toss of calibration accuracy. Polyurethane insulation, foamed in place between the tank and outer stainless steel shell adheres to both walls to seal out moisture and prevent corrosion. The tank is surrounded by a continuous blanket of solid, closed -cell foam which is claimed to be four times more efficient than fibreglass. All condensing units are sized and balanced to specific tanks for high efficiency, low power demand. Specially designed agitators provide thorough blending of milk for efficient cooling and even mixing of butterfat. A unique refrigerant flow assures even, thorough cooling. Positive clean in place (CIP) sanitizing is easily completed by a powerful three cycle automatic washer. NEW CREEP FEED STARTER A new creep feed/starter feed for pigs, Co-op Supreme 19% Pig Starter, by United Co-operatives of Ontario (UCO) has the advantage of considerable cost savings to the farmer as well as increased palatability to pigs. Results from trials on 650 pigs from weaning to 23 kg indicate: An average daily gain of 0.43 kg (0.95 Ib); an average feed per unit gain of 1.6:1; an average dollar per unit gain of $ .44/kg ($0.2011b). Some farms showed even better results than these averages due to their own advanced farm management. Supreme 19 has been formulated to be used as the "first feed" for nursing pigs. "Supreme 19 has an advantage where pigs are weaned at under four weeks of age," says Jim Wadleigh, UCO's live- stock feed manager. "Pigs normally are set back due to the stress of weaning, but using Supreme 19 both as a creep feed and a starter feed eliminates a feed change setback. Pigs are able to main- tain adequate intake of nutrients and medication without losing gains." CI CHLORHEXIDINE ACETATE In response to teat dip and udder wash specifications described by North Ameri- can and European milk producers, Diver- sey Wyandotte has developed and thor- oughly tested, an effective new chlor- hexidine acetate -based teat dip and udder wash, that offer positive produc- tion benefits for Canadian dairymen. New blue Dihexamin Teat Dip, incor- porates three soothing emollients; lano- lin, glycerine and sorbitol. Formulated for low viscosity, this product minimizes teat dip waste at time of application. The addition of polyvinyl pyrrolidone, a film -forming ingredient, helps avoid re- contamination by leaving a protective coating on the teat. The companion udder care product is new green Dihex- amine Udder Wash. Trials were conducted on 38 Canadian dairy farms on these products. ❑ HAY TEDDER The Weber Lane Hay Tedder speeds up drying of hay by lifting it off the ground so air can circulate and dry the hay quickly. Rubber mounted tines handle hay gently, yet are strong enough to resist damage from stones and contact with the ground. Contact Harco Ag Equipment, R.R. #4. Harriston, Ont. NOG 1Z0. 519-338-2923.
