Hiko Lamb Bucket Bar Feeder Teat Unit 36mm
Description
Hiko Lamb Bucket Bar Feeder - Complete Screw-In Teat Unit
The Hiko Lamb Bucket Bar Feeder is a complete feeding teat unit that screws into a feeding bucket and fits a 36mm diameter hole. It is designed for farmers and smallholders rearing orphan, triplet or supplementary-fed lambs on a bucket bar feeding system.
Each unit is supplied with a softer feel white teat, which makes it best for young or newly orphaned lambs still learning to suckle. Fit one unit per hole to build a new bar feeder, or use single units as replacements when teats wear out during a busy lambing.

FAQ
What size hole does this teat unit fit?
It fits a 36mm diameter hole in the bucket wall. Measure your existing hole before ordering, as the unit is sized for 36mm only.
Is the teat included?
Yes. It is supplied as a complete feeding teat unit with a softer feel white teat fitted.
What does a softer teat suit best?
Softer teats are generally chosen for newborn, weaker or newly orphaned lambs, and for lambs moving from bottle feeding onto a bucket bar feeder.
How does it attach to the bucket?
It screws into the bucket, so it holds securely while several lambs pull on the teats at the same time.
How many units do I need?
One unit per hole. Count the holes in your bar feeder and order to match, plus a spare or two for the lambing season.
How should it be cleaned?
Strip the unit down and rinse thoroughly in warm water after each feed, then air dry. Replace the teat if it splits or the opening becomes enlarged.
