Shoof Excal Lamb Topper Screw-On Feeding Teat
Description
Shoof Excal Lamb Topper - Turn Any 28mm Bottle Into a Lamb Feeder
The Shoof Excal Lamb Topper is a screw-on lamb feeding teat designed to fit any standard 28mm diameter plastic bottle. It is made for shepherds, farmers and smallholders who need a quick, low-cost way to bottle feed orphan, weak or top-up lambs during lambing.
Because it uses ordinary plastic bottles rather than a dedicated feeder, spare toppers can be kept in the lambing shed, the feed room or the truck, so there is always a clean teat ready when a lamb needs feeding.

FAQ
What bottles does the Shoof Excal Lamb Topper fit?

How do I clean the lamb topper?
Wash it in warm soapy water after every feed, rinse thoroughly and allow it to dry fully before storing.
When should the teat be replaced?
