Suckling Preventor

A Suckling Preventor is a livestock management device designed to discourage cross-suckling and unwanted nursing among calves and other young livestock. Commonly fitted to the animal’s nose, it allows the calf to graze, eat, and drink normally while preventing it from suckling other animals.
