- A single use heat pad can be placed inside the pouch if required. These heat pads will give the calf continuous heat up to 12 hours.
- They do not cover or restrict the umbilical area of the newborn, less likelihood of infections. Along with bull calves not urine on belly straps.
- If the calf is feeding from it's birthmother a "U" has been designed at the top of the tail area to allow the birthmother easy access to I.D her calf.
The ICU Small Animal Rug would be one of the few rugs designed to make sure that the newborn skin can breathe even if you roughly towel the calf dry if needed you can place the rug on the calf and the liner will wick the excess moisture from the calf.
