Agri Health Floating Teat & Base for Calf Feeding
Description
Agri Health Floating Teat with Base - Bucket Feeding for Young Calves
The Agri Health Floating Teat is a floating base supplied with a teat that makes it easier to feed young calves from buckets. It sits on the surface of the milk with the teat facing downwards, so the calf seeks the teat out from the sides rather than drinking from an open bucket.
It is best for farmers, smallholders and calf-rearing units who feed individually from standard buckets and want a simple, washable teat system. The plastic part contains no balancing element, which is what forces the calf to search for the teat, and the whole unit dismantles for cleaning.
Key Features

- Bucket compatible: designed for feeding young calves in buckets
