Description
It Starts with Right Volume at the Right Time
In order to be set up for success, a calf must receive at least 15% of its body weight in CLEAN COLOSTRUM; 10% in the first hour of life, 5% more 8-10 hours later.
Proper volume depends on the size of the calf. That’s why our Perfect Udder® bags come in 3 calf-specific sizes!
- 4L for calves that weigh MORE than 30kg
- 3L for calves that weigh LESS than 30kg
- 2L for the second feeding of ALL calves
Matilda® is engineered to maximize the efficiency of our Perfect Udder® bags! She will pasteurize or warm up to 8 liters of colostrum quickly, but most importantly, correctly.
It means pasteurized. Matilda® utilizes Dairy Tech’s proven pasteurization technology. Studies show that pasteurization is a key tool for control of pathogenic bacteria as well as improvement of beneficial bacteria…a double win!

Matilda® was designed for use on dairy farms to pasteurize (heat treat) maternal colostrum that is being fed back to the calves
It is not used for product intended for human consumption.
Colostrum is harvested from the cow after she calves. It is placed into Perfect Udder® bags (4L, 3L or 2L) and those bags are then placed into the water bath in Matilda®. She heats the bags to 60C and holds them there for 60 minutes to properly treat the product and eliminate harmful pathogens such as viruses and bacteria.
She then cools down the product to either be fed immediately or stored in a freezer. If frozen, then Matilda® is used as a thawing/warming unit to prepare the feeding for a new calf. At half the price of any competitive product on the market, pasteurizing and warming your valuable colostrum has never been easier or more cost-effective.
