Battles Anti-Vac Lamb Feeding Bottle Spare Teat
Description
Battles Lamb Anti-Vac Feed Bottle Spare Teat
The Battles Lamb Anti-Vac Feed Bottle Spare Teat is a single replacement teat made to fit the Battles Lamb Anti-Vac Feed Bottle. It is best for shepherds, smallholders and hobby farmers who already own the bottle and need to replace a worn, softened or split teat during lambing.
Because it is sold as a spare, you keep your existing bottle in service instead of replacing the whole thing. The bottle is not included in this listing. Stock keepers hand rearing orphan lambs, triplets and weak lambs usually keep two or three spare teats in the lambing box so feeding is never held up.
Key Features
- Direct spare: Replacement teat for the Battles Lamb Anti-Vac Feed Bottle.
- Cost-sensible: Refresh the teat rather than buying a complete new bottle.
- Lambing box essential: Ideal back-up for orphan, triplet and weak lambs.
- Tool-free fitting: Pushes onto the bottle neck in seconds.
- Easy to keep clean: Hand wash, rinse and air dry between feeds.
- Quantity: Supplied as one teat.

FAQ
Does this spare teat come with a bottle?
No. This listing is for the teat only. It is designed as a replacement for an Anti-Vac bottle you already own.
Which bottle does it fit?
It is made to fit the Battles Lamb Anti-Vac Feed Bottle. If you use a different feeding bottle, check your existing teat before ordering.
How many teats are included?
One teat is supplied per unit. Many stock keepers order more than one so they have spares through the lambing period.
How do I clean the teat?
Wash it in warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry between feeds. Check for splits or thinning each time you wash up.
When should I replace a teat?
Replace it as soon as it splits, tears, becomes sticky or feels thin, and whenever the hole has enlarged enough to let milk flow too quickly for the lamb.
Can it be used for other young stock?
It is intended for lambs fed from the Anti-Vac bottle. Some keepers also use the same bottle for kid goats, so match the teat to the bottle you have rather than the animal.
