FAQ
What is the Agri Health Lamb Feeding Bucket used for?
It is used to feed milk or milk replacer to lambs being reared away from the ewe, such as orphan, cade and triplet lambs. It can also be used as a general mixing or water bucket on the yard.
How many lambs can feed at once?
This depends on how the bucket is set up and how many lambs you are rearing. Supervise the first feeds and split larger groups so that every lamb gets its share.
How do I clean it between feeds?
Rinse out immediately after each feed, wash with warm water and a livestock-safe detergent, rinse again and allow to air dry. Milk residue left to stand is the main hygiene risk when bottle rearing.
Can it be used for anything other than lambs?
Yes. It is a practical general purpose bucket for carrying water, mixing feed or holding small quantities of supplement around the stable and yard.
How should I store it out of season?
Clean and dry it fully, then store under cover and away from prolonged direct sunlight. Check for cracks or splits before the next lambing season and replace if damaged.
