Agri Health Lamb Pullover Teat for Bottle Feeding

Agri Health Lamb Pullover Teat

The Agri Health Lamb Pullover Teat is a replacement bottle teat for hand-rearing lambs, designed to pull over the neck of a standard feeding bottle. It is best for smallholders, shepherds and hobby flock keepers feeding orphan, triplet, rejected or weak lambs during lambing.

Because teats split and perish with use, this is a sensible spare to keep in the lambing kit alongside milk replacer and bottles. The flexible teat encourages a steady, natural suckling action rather than rapid gulping.

How to Use

1. Wash the teat in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly before first use.
2. Stretch the collar of the teat over the neck of a clean feeding bottle and roll it down until it sits square and secure.
3. Fill the bottle with correctly mixed milk replacer at the temperature stated on the milk replacer packaging.
4. Invert the bottle and check the flow rate before offering it to the lamb.
5. Support the lamb in a natural standing position with its head slightly raised and let it suckle at its own pace.
6. Wash, rinse and air dry the teat after every feed, and replace it once split or perished.

FAQ

What bottles does this teat fit?
It is a pullover style teat, so it stretches over the neck of a standard feeding bottle rather than screwing into a cap. Measure the neck of your existing bottle and compare it with the teat collar if you are unsure.

Is it suitable for kid goats as well as lambs?
Yes, it is commonly used for lambs but also suits other small young stock such as kid goats being hand-reared.

How do I clean the teat?
Wash it in warm soapy water after each feed, rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry. Store clean teats in a covered container between uses.

When should I replace the teat?
Replace it as soon as it becomes split, perforated beyond its original hole, misshapen or perished. A worn teat can let milk flow too quickly.

Should I enlarge the hole to speed up feeding?
Only if the manufacturer's instructions allow it. Too fast a flow can cause a lamb to choke or take milk into the lungs, so let the lamb set the pace.

Is a bottle included?
No, this listing is for the teat only unless otherwise stated.
