TEAT LAMB/KID EXCAL UNIVERSAL BOTTLE FIT 25P SHOOF 206710-25P at a glance

The Universal lamb/kid teat can be used on a variety of bottles, or on ‘calfeteria’ type feeders with 11mm o.d. tube delivery.

For fitting to bottles with necks from 25mm to 35mm diameter, the outer ‘skirt’ should be pulled upwards and the teat plugged into the bottle and the skirt folded down.

If the bottle has no other air inlet, a staple or piece of string over the neck can be used to allow air entry.

Note:
For all feeders the teat slit must be in a vertical plane.

To increase flow for bottle feeding, the teat can be cut in an X.

Attach the teat firmly to the universal bottle and ensure a secure fit before each feed. Fill the bottle with colostrum (for first feeds) or milk warmed to 37-39°C (body temperature). Present the bottle to the lamb or kid at a slight angle, allowing it to suckle naturally. Clean and sterilise all equipment thoroughly with hot water and a bottle brush immediately after each feed to prevent bacterial contamination. Tips: Always prioritise colostrum in the first 6-12 hours of life, as immunoglobulin absorption closes after 24 hours and is critical for disease resistance. The teat's flow rate should require some suction effort to stimulate natural feeding behaviour—if milk flows too freely, it can cause digestive issues. Monitor milk temperature with a thermometer to ensure optimal digestion and nutrient absorption.
