CALF FEEDER EASY / SPEEDY TEAT ONLY SHOOF 202436

What It's Used For

This is a replacement teat for use with Shoof's calf feeding systems — specifically the 1-speed EasyFeeder (207386) and the 3-speed Speedy Feeder (207404). It's designed for feeding young calves, making it an essential spare part to have on hand for any dairy or beef operation raising calves on artificial feeding systems. Note that this listing is for the teat only — the cap is not included.

Remove the worn or damaged teat from your existing EasyFeeder or Speedy Feeder unit and fit the replacement teat securely in its place, ensuring it is seated correctly before use. Check that the teat is firmly attached and not loose before offering it to calves, as a poor fit can cause leaking or allow calves to pull it free.

Before first use, rinse the new teat thoroughly with clean water to remove any residues from manufacturing or storage.

After each feeding session, remove the teat and wash it in warm soapy water, rinse well, and allow it to air dry completely before reassembling. Regular inspection of the teat for cracks, tears, or deterioration is important — replace it promptly if wear is noticed to maintain hygiene and consistent milk flow for your calves.

Tips for Best Results

• Always check the teat is firmly fitted to the feeder before each use — a loose teat can frustrate calves and cause spills.
• Wash the teat after every feed in warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly to prevent bacterial build-up, which can cause scours in young calves.
• Keep a spare teat on hand so you can swap it out immediately if one becomes damaged or worn — calf feeding schedules shouldn't be interrupted.
• Inspect the teat regularly for cracks or soft spots, especially if calves are feeding aggressively. A damaged teat can affect milk flow rate and hygiene.
• Store spare teats in a clean, dry location away from direct sunlight, which can degrade the rubber over time.
