WALDOS s.r.o. was founded in 2017 by MVDr. Milan Marták, veterinarian and breeder. It deals with exclusive distribution of EZ Animal Products products on the Central European market and consulting for farmers. “I came to EZ Animal Products by accident. The veterinarian in me immediately appreciated the gentleness that both the milking equipment and the stabilizer provide when in contact with the animal. As a breeder, I also sensed the potential for higher earnings in milk and meat production,” explains Milan Marták.
Since 1999, he has been farming in Kysuce in the north-west of Slovakia for almost 13 years – breeding sheep. He is a supporter of the ideas of welfare and Precision Animal Husbandry (PCHZ) and the products offered by Waldos are invaluable for such farms.
Economic and breeding success does not only lead the way to increasing the number of animals and reducing costs. There is another way. Comprehensive animal care and gentle handling(welfare) pays off for the breeder.
Precision animal husbandry is a modern approach to livestock production that uses advanced technology to optimise production, improve animal welfare and minimise negative environmental impacts. It is based on creating good husbandry conditions for the animals and a ‘human’, individual approach to them without unnecessary stress and burden.
At WALDOS, we know that the quantity and quality of the milk produced, the weight gain of the meat, the quality of the wool or the sheer beauty of the bred animal is shaped in a period that begins with gestation and continues with quality diet, care and conditions. Most important, however, are the hours (24 hours) after parturition.
TIMELY INTAKE OF GOOD QUALITY COLOSTRUM IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE YOUNGSTER’S HEALTH AND FITNESS THROUGHOUT ITS PRODUCTIVE LIFE
The hand-held vacuum milking equipment – set will provide you with this benefit at minimum cost, which will pay back many times over in economic results later on.
Buck Wheeler had been riding and training horses for many years and at one point decided he’d had enough of using a stick and whip. Together with his wife Karen, they developed a tool that not only stabilizes the horse painlessly, but even evokes pleasurable feelings in him.
The horses on which they applied their Stableizer®achieved excellent results at various competitions. This was the beginning of EZ Animal Products, whose products are offered by Waldos as their exclusive distributor in Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, etc.
Buck is of Native American descent, born and raised on a large ranch in Solen, North Dakota. He belongs to the Sioux tribe and learned horsemanship from his Indian ancestors. Today he lives in Lexington, Kentucky.
His work with horses also inspired him to develop another Udderly EZ™ Milker when he decided he needed to change the way colostrum is removed from mares during foaling. He later developed its applications to other animals. The device has been on the market since 2022. Its next refinement is the Ultimate EZ Electric Milker.
Many of the leading veterinary schools use their products and have implemented them in their curriculum.

In time-saving use, agility, economy for the milker and sixth-friendliness to the animal, the possibility to maximize the intake.
Please follow the directions carefully and this will help you learn the proper use of the UEZ and it will function much easier for you to start with. With any vacuum operated equipment the smaller the container the less vacuum it takes to operate it and the quicker you will experience the learning curve. Be sure and watch the video link that is included in your kit instructions before operating!
The vacuum extractors were the same for all animals. However, after eighteen years on the global market, we found that due to the different sizes of teats and bottle requirements, we needed to prepare a separate set for each species according to the requirements of the breed in terms of bottle size and so on. This came as a result of our own experience and listening to breeders and owners who were involved in milking different animals.
We currently have sets for cows, goats, sheep, and horses. Bottles are available in liters, half-liters, and other sizes.
It depends on the type of animal, but approximately 3 to 7 minutes. Once you and the animal get used to the milking machine, it will speed up.
Pump a few times and stop pumping as soon as the milk starts flowing. When it slows down, pump another 2-4 times to increase the vacuum again. You don’t need to continue pumping or close the valve in the nipple. We have people with all kinds of illnesses who have been using our products for years.
