Heatwave® Milk Warmer

£550.00 excl VAT
Rear healthy, feed-efficient lambs, calves, and kids with warm milk available on demand. Watch our videos below to see the Heatwave® in action!

Designed and manufactured in the UK, the Heatwave® is an ad-lib milk feeding system that helps young stock feed little and often, closer to their natural feeding behaviour. By heating milk on demand, the Heatwave keeps milk fresh throughout the day, supporting healthy digestion, reducing milk wastage, and saving valuable labour time during busy lambing and calving periods.

Suitable for:
• Up to 50 lambs or kids
• Up to 30 calves

The Heatwave® Milk Warmer is ideal for sheep farmers, calf rearers, goat keepers, and mixed livestock farms looking for a practical and hygienic warm milk feeding system for young stock.

“Rearing our calves on the Heatwave seems to have unlocked a ‘greedy gene’, creating feed efficient animals with less health issues! All the heifers were weaned by 10 weeks, and reached bulling weight by 13 months. We kept 75% of them as herd replacements.”

If Excal teats are required please add a note to your order or contact the office.

Benefits of Ad-Lib Feeding for Young Stock

Research has shown that ad-lib feeding systems can support improved calf and lamb development by replicating natural feeding patterns. Young stock naturally feed multiple times throughout the day, and the Heatwave® Milk Warmer allows them to feed little and often rather than consuming large feeds at set times.

This feeding method can help:
• Reduce pressure on the abomasum
• Support healthier digestion
• Minimise cases of scour
• Encourage stronger growth and development
• Promote improved welfare and feeding performance

The Heatwave® also helps reduce daily labour requirements. Simply mix one batch of milk per day and maintain the system with a quick daily clean.

How the Heatwave® Milk Warmer Works

The Heatwave® Automatic Milk Warmer gently heats the milk on demand so it’s available at a consistent temperature, allowing lambs, calves, and kids to access warm milk whenever they need it. The insulated storage system helps maintain milk quality while reducing spoilage.
The system is simple to set up and suitable for use both indoors and outdoors, making it a practical solution for busy livestock farms during lambing and calving seasons.
