| 17 nzdairy DAIRY AWARDS » Hayden & Bridget Goble The Gobles (top right) have put their own stamp on the family business since coming home to the farm six years ago. Farmers are no longer waiting for cold and wet conditions to impact on the health of calves on farm and are taking proactive measures to ensure they reach their potential, especially in the irst month of life. While traditionally overlooked in New Zealand, at least in the early days of farming, the market for premium calf jackets is now steadily growing, both here and internationally. “We put a lot of time and e ort into designing these water-proof pu er jackets for calves, for maximum animal comfort and e ectiveness at protecting animals from the elements, while also being practical and adjustable for growing calves,” quali ied dairy vet and animal cover designer Ursula Haywood of Antahi Innovations explains. The company is ramping up its products aimed and improving outcomes for young calves, and it also has recently re-developed a brand new pasteurizer for colostrum milk called the Trusti Pasteur Pro, that allows you to thaw 2 x 4 litre bags in just 20 minutes. The ‘Thermoo’ jackets have been a labour of love for Ursula, who saw the need for them in the cold New Zealand climate and was certain that better design techniques - that took animal health into key consideration - were needed and they have been designed with the backing of 30 years of calf Give them the best start rearing and veterinary knowledge. “It started on a small scale, but we are now selling thousands each year as part of our export range to more than 40 countries and we get excellent feedback on them. We believe they are the best quality and best it calf cover you can ind and they are also great for goats and alpacas.” “We sell the most in the small and medium size, because those irst few weeks of life are when they really need the most protection from the elements.” The team works tirelessly from their base in Cambridge Waikato, and have been continually recognized for their innovative approach to animal health and developing new products that are highly practical for farmer to use. The business has won numerous awards for its products over the years, both here and internationally. “A lot of what we earn goes back into more research and development, we are always working on new projects and trying to solve problems for farmers in the most practical ways that we can.” Thermoo calf and goat covers are available in select colours including a new hot pink and come in small, medium and large sizes. They are machine washable, quick drying and long-lasting.
