Agri Health Bar Calf Feeder Teat Unit with 2m Tube
Description
The Agri Health Bar Calf Feeder is a complete teat feeder unit supplied with a circular plate, a 2m feed tube, a non-return valve and a red calf teat. It is designed for farmers, dairy units and smallholders rearing calves on milk or milk replacer through a bar or teat feeding system.
Because every component comes in one assembly, it is best for replacing a worn teat station on an existing feeder bar or building up a new group feeding rail from scratch. Made in Germany.
Key Features
- Complete unit: circular plate, 2m tube, non-return valve and red calf teat included
- 2m feed tube: runs from a raised bucket, barrel or tank down to the feeding bar
- Non-return valve: helps keep milk held in the tube between sucks
- Red calf teat: standard rearing teat, easy to see when checking the line

How to Use
- Fit the circular plate to the feeder bar or container face at a comfortable drinking height for the calves.
- Push the red teat onto the plate and connect the 2m tube, checking the non-return valve is the correct way round.
- Place the free end of the tube into the milk bucket, barrel or tank, keeping it above the bottom to avoid drawing sediment.
- Prime the line so milk reaches the teat, then let the calves feed.
- After feeding, flush the teat, tube and valve with hot water and a suitable dairy detergent, then allow them to drain.
- Inspect the teat before each feed and replace it if it is split, worn or the opening has enlarged.
FAQ
What is included with the Agri Health Bar Calf Feeder?
Each unit is supplied complete with a circular plate, a 2m feed tube, a non-return valve and a red calf teat.
How long is the feed tube?
The tube is 2m long, which is enough to reach from a raised bucket, barrel or milk tank to the feeding bar.
What does the non-return valve do?
It helps hold milk within the tube between sucks, so the calf does not have to re-prime the line at every mouthful.
How do I clean the feeder?
Rinse and wash the teat, tube and valve after every feed with hot water and a suitable dairy detergent, then let the parts drain fully before the next use.
When should the teat be replaced?
Replace the teat as soon as it becomes split, misshapen or the opening has widened, as an enlarged hole lets calves drink too fast. Keeping spare teats on the unit avoids interruptions at feeding time.
Can it be used with milk replacer as well as whole milk?
Yes, it can be used with mixed milk replacer or whole milk. Mix the replacer thoroughly and at the temperature stated by the feed manufacturer so the teat and valve do not clog.
