Agri Health Cross Cut Calf Teat for Calf Feeders
Description
Agri Health Cross Cut Calf Teat
The Agri Health Cross Cut Calf Teat is a replacement feeding teat for calves, designed to fit compatible calf feeding bottles and teat buckets. It is best for farmers, dairy units and smallholders who bottle feed or bucket feed young calves and need a spare teat on hand at feeding time.
The cross cut opening helps control the rate of milk or milk replacer as the calf suckles, encouraging a steady, natural feeding action instead of rapid gulping.

FAQ
What is a cross cut calf teat?
It is a feeding teat with a cross shaped opening at the tip. The cross cut helps regulate how quickly milk passes through as the calf suckles, rather than letting it run freely.
Will this teat fit my calf feeder?
It is designed for compatible calf feeding bottles and teat buckets. Fittings vary between manufacturers, so compare the base of your current teat with this one before ordering to avoid a poor seal.
How often should a calf teat be replaced?
Replace the teat once it becomes split, overly soft or misshapen, or when the cross cut opening has stretched and milk flows through too quickly. Frequency depends on how many feeds it handles.
How do I clean a calf teat?
Wash in warm soapy water after every feed, rinse thoroughly and allow to dry fully before reuse. Keeping teats clean between feeds is an important part of calf rearing hygiene.
Can it be used for lambs or goat kids?
This teat is intended for calves. Smaller stock such as lambs and kids are usually better suited to a smaller lamb teat.
Where is it made?
The country of origin is Germany.
