LAMB FEEDER TEAT PRITCHARD EACH BAINBRIDGE A9003

Attach the Pritchard teat securely to a clean bottle filled with warm milk or colostrum (37-39°C). Present the bottle to the lamb at a slight angle, allowing it to suckle naturally. For newborns, administer colostrum within the first 6-12 hours of life at 10% of body weight (e.g., 2L for a 20kg lamb). After each feed, immediately remove the teat and bottle, then thoroughly clean and sterilise all components before the next feeding. Tips: Check the teat flow rate by inverting the bottle—milk should drip slowly, not stream, to encourage natural suckling behaviour and prevent digestive upset. Always warm milk to body temperature (37-39°C) using a bottle warmer or warm water bath, as cold milk reduces feed intake and digestive efficiency. Keep detailed records of colostrum administration timing, as immunoglobulin absorption is critical in the first 24 hours and closes off after this window.
