Calf Bottles & Feeders: The teat makes the difference
At feeding time it is not only the quantity that counts, but also the pace. A calf should drink in small swallows, because then the oesophageal groove reflex works properly and the milk reaches the abomasum. In this section you will find calf bottles, teat buckets and teats in various shapes as well as holders for fixed mounting.
Teats, bottles and buckets
Latex teats are soft and are readily accepted by young calves, while versions with a cross slit control the flow. Larger teats suit strong calves and bigger quantities, and vital teats with a clip fixing sit firmly on the bucket. A smaller opening extends the drinking time and calms the group, because the urge to suck is better satisfied. Spare valves and bucket protection retrofit sets keep the equipment in service for longer. Holders for buckets and bottles bring everything to the right height, so the calf drinks comfortably upwards.
Hygiene and temperature
Milk residues in bottle and teat are an ideal breeding ground. Rinse thoroughly after every feed, best of all cold first and then warm with detergent, and let everything dry properly. Check teats regularly for cracks and worn openings and replace them in good time. The feeding temperature is ideally close to the body temperature of the calf. Milk that is too cold is taken less well. If a calf seems dull or suddenly drinks less, watch it closely and bring in your vet if needed. A rack in the milk kitchen where everything drains and dries keeps the kit ready for the next feed.
Frequently asked questions
Which teat suits my calf?
Young calves get on well with soft latex teats. A smaller opening extends the drinking time and satisfies the urge to suck.
How do I clean bottles and teats?
After every feed rinse cold first, then warm with detergent, and let everything dry properly afterwards.
When do I replace the teat?
As soon as it is cracked or the opening looks worn. The milk then flows too fast and the calf gulps.
Bottles, buckets and teats for the calf
A calf drinks best in small swallows, because then the oesophageal groove reflex works properly and the milk ends up where it belongs. Soft latex teats are readily accepted by young animals, versions with a cross slit control the flow, and a smaller opening noticeably extends the drinking time. For strong calves and larger quantities there are correspondingly bigger teats, while vital teats with a clip fixing sit firmly on the bucket. Matching holders bring bottles and buckets to the right height, and spare valves and bucket protection sets extend the service life. Hygiene stays the key point: after every feed rinse cold first, then warm with detergent, and let everything dry. Check the teats regularly for cracks and worn openings and replace them in good time.
