It is designed for anyone hand-rearing calves - dairy and beef farmers, smallholders and stockpeople - who needs to measure milk or colostrum accurately and feed calves cleanly, one at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBest for single-calf feeding in pens and hutches where measured quantities matter. The membrane only lets milk pass while the calf is suckling, so the bottle behaves like a natural cow's teat rather than free-flowing, and the round body with top and bottom openings makes it far quicker to scrub out than a square bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalibrated bottle:\u003c\/strong\u003e measure each feed of milk, milk replacer or colostrum without a separate jug\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntegral carry handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e ergonomically designed for ease of handling during feeding\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSilicon membrane teat:\u003c\/strong\u003e milk passes only while the calf is suckling, functioning naturally like a real cow's teat\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeak-free teat insert:\u003c\/strong\u003e nearly eliminates wasted milk while nursing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-density polyethylene:\u003c\/strong\u003e tough, easy-clean material suited to daily shed use\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRound shape:\u003c\/strong\u003e easier, faster and more effective cleaning compared to square bottles\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpens top and bottom:\u003c\/strong\u003e full internal access for quick, hassle-free washing\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBESS\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCalf nursing bottle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-density polyethylene\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTeat\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeak-free teat with embedded silicon membrane\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMeasurement\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCalibrated bottle body\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHandle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntegral carry handle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShape\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRound\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCleaning access\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpens from both top and bottom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSuitable for\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCalves and other young livestock\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eMix milk, milk replacer or colostrum to the temperature recommended by your feed supplier or vet.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFill the bottle to the required calibration mark and fit the teat securely.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHold the bottle by the integral handle at a natural head height for the calf, slightly above horizontal.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLet the calf suckle at its own pace - the membrane releases milk only while it is drawing.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eOpen both ends after feeding, rinse immediately, then wash with warm water and a suitable dairy detergent.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAir dry with both ends open and check the teat and membrane for wear before the next feed.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eBrowse more farm and livestock essentials in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/agrihealth\"\u003eAgrihealth collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the BESS Calf Nursing Bottle made from?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is made from high-density polyethylene, with a leak-free teat containing an embedded silicon membrane.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the leak-free teat work?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe embedded silicon membrane only lets milk pass while the calf is suckling, so it functions naturally like a real cow's teat and nearly eliminates wasted milk during nursing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it easy to clean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
