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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFloats teat-down:\u003c\/strong\u003e the base rests on the milk with the teat facing downwards\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo balancing element:\u003c\/strong\u003e the calf must seek out the teat from the sides\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBucket compatible:\u003c\/strong\u003e designed for feeding young calves in buckets\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDismantles easily:\u003c\/strong\u003e the base comes apart so it can be cleaned thoroughly\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompact dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 mm diameter by 130 mm height\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePractical plastic build:\u003c\/strong\u003e suited to daily use around the yard\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAgri Health\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFloating teat with base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDiameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e75 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e130 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlastic base with teat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIntended use\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFeeding young calves from buckets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCleaning\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDismantles for cleaning\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItaly\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eFill the bucket with milk or milk replacer at your usual feeding temperature and volume.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePlace the floating teat and base into the bucket so it floats with the teat facing downwards.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eGuide the calf to the side of the unit so it can find the teat and begin suckling.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSupervise the first few feeds until the calf takes to the teat confidently.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRemove the unit after feeding, dismantle the base and wash both parts through.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAllow all parts to dry fully, then reassemble ready for the next feed.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more yard and livestock kit in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/stable-yard\"\u003estable and yard collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Agri Health Floating Teat?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is a floating base supplied with a teat that sits in a bucket with the teat facing downwards, making it easier to feed young calves from buckets.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does it have no balancing element?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe plastic part deliberately contains no balancing element.
