BESS Lamb Bottle & Standard Teat Feeding Bottle
Description
BESS Lamb Bottle & Standard Teat
The BESS Lamb Bottle & Standard Teat is a calibrated, ergonomically shaped feeding bottle supplied with a standard teat for hand-rearing lambs. It is designed for shepherds, smallholders and farm staff feeding orphan, triplet or weak lambs who need accurate measured feeds and a bottle that washes out quickly between uses.
The teat contains an embedded silicon membrane that only allows milk to pass while the lamb is actively suckling, functioning much like a real ewe's teat, while the leak-free insert nearly eliminates wasted milk during nursing. The bottle body is made from high-density polyethylene and opens from both the top and the bottom for fast cleaning.

FAQ
What is the BESS Lamb Bottle & Standard Teat used for?
It is used for hand-feeding milk or milk replacer to lambs, most commonly orphan, triplet or weak lambs that are not receiving enough milk from the ewe.
Does the teat leak between feeds?
No. The teat uses an embedded silicon membrane and a leak-free insert, so milk only passes while the lamb is actively suckling. This nearly eliminates milk wasted during nursing.
What is the bottle made from?
The bottle is made from high-density polyethylene.
Is it easy to clean?
Yes. The round shape cleans faster and more effectively than a square bottle, and the bottle opens from both the top and the bottom so you can pass a brush straight through.
Can I measure the feed with it?
Yes, the bottle is calibrated so you can measure each feed accurately and keep track of how much each lamb is taking.
