ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE The infant mortality rate of newborn calves separated from cows is normally up to 25 percent, because, inter alia the calves are fed unheated milk from buckets or other unsterilized containers. Thus, if one calf contracts a disease, the disease is spread to the other calves. Moreover, the stomachs of young calves are not equippped to handle unheated milk direct from a milk storage tank. These problems are overcome by an automatic, timer operated feeding system, which periodically pumps milk into a heater, where the milk is heated to the proper temperature and then transferred to metering cylinders for dispensing into feed bowls. The bowls are heated by constantly circulating warm water so that the milk temperature is maintained at the preferred level throughout the feeding cycle. The bowls are automatically cleaned on a periodic basis using a separate timer. Cleaning needs to be effected after two or three feedings only.
