Dairy Spares: Easy-to-use colostrum bags are unique in being re-usable

Dairy Spares has launched the Trusti Colostrum Bag, which is unique in being the only re-usable bag on the market.

In addition, the bag design includes a large surface area to speed freezing and thawing; a robust and convenient handle for holding or hanging; and a wide neck for faster filling and easier cleaning. The bags hold up to four litres of colostrum and are suitable for use in pasteurisers.

New Zealand company Antahi, which designed and produces the Trusti Colostrum Bags, says the bags are suitably robust to provide five uses, making them a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly choice than single-use colostrum bags.

The colostrum bags are said to be robust enough to be used up to five times.

The thorough cleaning and sterilisation of the bags in-between uses is important, and strict instructions are provided. A cleaning brush is also available separately from Dairy Spares.

The Trusti Colostrum Bags come in starter kits of four or 10 bags, together with two different feeding tubes. The four-bag kit is £67.90+VAT, and 10-bag kit, £84.90+VAT. Trusti bags are also available in packs of 10 retailing at £42.90+VAT and 50 retailing at £179.00+VAT (prices correct at February 2020). The Dairy Spares cleaning brush – with blue fibres for safe use in other milk vessels too – costs £9.35+VAT.
