Shoof Easy Feeder Bottle for Calves, Lambs & Foals
Description
Shoof Easy Feeder Bottle - Single-Speed Nursing Bottle for Young Stock
The Shoof Easy Feeder Bottle is a single-speed nursing bottle for hand rearing and supplementary feeding of calves, lambs, kids and orphan foals. It is designed for farmers, smallholders and yard staff who need a bottle that fills fast, empties completely and washes out easily between feeds.
Its multi-directional easy-grip hand hold lets you feed from any angle, the low-mounted teat draws the bottle down to the last of the milk, and the wide 70mm neck takes a bottle brush without a struggle. Best for anyone rearing young stock who wants a simple, stable, no-fuss feeder rather than a multi-part feeding system.

- Fit the coarse-thread cap and teat, then check the flow by inverting the bottle briefly.
- Hold the bottle by the easy-grip hand hold at a natural angle for the animal and allow it to suck at its own pace.
- Keep the bottle tilted so the low-mounted teat stays covered until the feed is finished.
- Rinse immediately after feeding, wash in warm water with a bottle brush and leave to drain dry.

FAQ
What animals is the Shoof Easy Feeder Bottle suitable for?
It is a general-purpose nursing bottle suited to calves, lambs, goat kids and orphan foals being hand reared or given supplementary feeds.
What does single speed mean?
The teat delivers one consistent flow rate rather than adjustable settings, so each feed is predictable and the animal sets its own pace.
Why is the teat mounted low on the bottle?
A low-mounted teat sits close to the base, so the bottle can be emptied completely and less milk is left behind at the end of a feed.
How easy is it to clean?
The 70mm-diameter neck is wide enough to take a standard bottle brush, and the coarse-thread cap unscrews quickly. Rinse straight after feeding and wash in warm water.
Will the bottle stand up on its own?
Yes. The wide base gives maximum stability when the bottle is standing, which helps when you are mixing or filling single-handed.
When should the teat be replaced?
Replace the teat if the opening becomes enlarged or the rubber splits, perishes or feels soft, as a worn teat changes the flow rate.
