TEAT CAP CALF FEEDER FOR MILKMAID ONLY BLACK RAPIDPLAS PCCPMT

What It's Used For

This teat cap is a replacement or spare fitting designed specifically for use with Milkmaid brand calf feeders by Rapidplas. It fits over the calf feeder to provide a secure, hygienic teat connection that calves can suckle from naturally, making it ideal for bucket or container feeding setups on dairy and beef properties. It's a handy item to have on hand when the original teat cap wears out or gets damaged, keeping your feeding routine running without interruption.

Simply screw the teat cap onto your Milkmaid calf feeder until it is firmly seated and secure. Ensure the cap is properly tightened before filling the feeder with milk or milk replacer to prevent leaks during feeding.

Before first use, rinse the teat cap thoroughly with clean water to remove any dust or residue from packaging. Check that the teat is soft, pliable and free from cracks before each use.

After each feeding session, remove the teat cap and rinse with warm water immediately to prevent milk residue from drying and harbouring bacteria. Periodically wash with a suitable dairy cleaning solution and allow to air dry completely before reattaching or storing.

Tips for Best Results

• Only use this teat cap with Milkmaid brand calf feeders by Rapidplas — it is not designed for use with other feeder brands or styles.
• Rinse the teat cap with warm water straight after every feed to prevent milk solids building up, which can harbour harmful bacteria and cause scours in young calves.
• Inspect the teat regularly for signs of cracking, splitting or excessive wear and replace it promptly to maintain a good suckle action and prevent calves from ingesting rubber fragments.
• Store spare teat caps in a clean, dry location out of direct sunlight, as UV exposure can degrade rubber and shorten the life of the teat.
• Ensure the cap is screwed on firmly before each use to avoid leaks or the feeder coming apart while a calf is feeding.
