Single teat and lid to fit both the 2.5 and 4ltr Speedy Feeder bottle.
Easy Feeder and Speedy Feeder bottleare made by Shoof. Easy Feeder is a single-speed nursing bottle and the Speedy Feeder is three-speed.
With Speedy Feeder when you get a real fast drinker, switch to ‘Fast’ and let him go for it.
When you have a weak premature-born calf, needing careful feeding, switch to ‘Stop’ or ‘Slow’ and let him take milk as he can cope without drowning.
The three speeds control the air inflow to the bottle, and thus the milk outflow.
Reduce time wasted on speedsters and prevent drowning weaklings, all using the same bottle and teat.
These feeders also feature intelligently designed bottle with multi-directional easy-grip hand hold.
The teat is mounted low in the cap to empty the bottle contents completely. The wide 70mm-diameter neck ensures easier filling and cleaning, and the coarse-thread cap is quick and easy to fit.
The wide base gives the bottle maximum stability when standing.
Spare teats are supplied as fitted teat/cap assemblies, green cap for Easy Feeder and blue cap for Speedy Feeder, or as bare teat.
What It's Used For
This is the replacement teat and lid assembly for the Shoof Speedy Feeder calf nursing bottle, fitting both the 2.5 litre and 4 litre Speedy Feeder bottles. It's designed for feeding calves of all ages and conditions, from strong fast drinkers through to weak or premature-born calves that need careful, controlled feeding.
The Speedy Feeder system uses three flow settings — Stop, Slow, and Fast — which control air inflow to the bottle and therefore the rate of milk outflow. This means one bottle and teat assembly can handle the full range of calves on the property without needing separate equipment. The blue cap identifies this as a Speedy Feeder assembly, as distinct from the green-capped Easy Feeder (single speed) version.
Fit the teat and lid assembly onto your Shoof Speedy Feeder bottle (2.5 or 4 litre) by threading the coarse-thread cap onto the wide 70mm neck of the bottle. The coarse thread is designed for quick, easy fitting — no fiddling around when you've got a hungry calf waiting.
Select your flow speed by adjusting the cap setting before feeding. Use Fast for strong, vigorous drinkers to save time. Use Slow or Stop for weak, premature, or unwell calves that need to take milk at their own pace without risk of choking or aspirating milk. The teat is mounted low in the cap to ensure the bottle empties completely, reducing waste.
After each feed, disassemble the teat and cap from the bottle. Rinse all components thoroughly in warm water immediately after use to prevent milk residue drying and building up. Wash with a suitable dairy equipment sanitiser, rinse clean, and allow to air dry before reassembling or storing. Inspect the teat regularly for signs of cracking, splitting, or deterioration and replace as needed.
Tips for Best Results
- Match the flow speed to your calf — start on Slow with any new or unfamiliar calf until you know how well they can handle the flow, then adjust from there.
- Rinse the teat and cap in cold water first before washing in warm water — this helps flush milk out before it has a chance to set and become harder to clean.
- Keep a spare teat and lid assembly on hand so you can swap straight to a clean one between feeds during busy calving periods, then clean the used one properly without rushing.
- Check the teat before every feed for any cracking or softening — a deteriorating teat can affect flow rate and may also be a choking risk for young calves.
- Store clean, dry assemblies away from direct sunlight, as UV exposure can degrade rubber teats over time and shorten their working life.
Common Questions
What does this teat & lid assembly fit?
This single teat and lid assembly fits both the 2.5 and 4 litre Speedy Feeder bottles made by Shoof.
What's the difference between Easy Feeder and Speedy Feeder?
Easy Feeder is a single-speed nursing bottle. Speedy Feeder has three speeds that control the air inflow to the bottle, which adjusts the milk outflow. You can switch between 'Fast' for quick drinkers, 'Slow' for careful feeding, or 'Stop' to let a weak or premature calf drink at its own pace without risk of drowning.
Why is the teat position important?
The teat is mounted low in the cap so it empties the bottle contents completely, reducing waste.
What makes these bottles easy to use and clean?
The wide 70mm-diameter neck makes filling and cleaning easier. The bottle also has a coarse-thread cap that's quick and easy to fit, and an intelligently designed multi-directional easy-grip hand hold. The wide base provides maximum stability when the bottle is standing.
