Our ethological feeding systems and calf jackets are developed around a deep understanding of how animals naturally drink, move, and regulate their body temperature. Feeding equipment is designed to encourage natural drinking posture and intake patterns, supporting proper digestion while reducing stress and competition. This helps young animals feed calmly and consistently, mirroring instinctive behaviour as closely as possible.

Calf jackets play a vital role in thermal regulation, providing targeted warmth without restricting movement or causing overheating. By helping calves conserve energy in colder conditions, more nutrients can be directed toward growth, immune function, and development rather than maintaining body heat. This is especially important during critical early-life stages, when proper nutrition, warmth, and comfort have a lasting impact on long-term health and performance. By aligning housing and equipment design with natural animal behaviour, Durapak helps farmers create calmer, healthier environments that promote resilience, efficient growth, and overall wellbeing.
