One of the most popular feeders in the Lamb/ Kid range, this 10 teat feeder is lovely and light to handle but has exceptional durability.
The feeders stack inside each other with teats fitted so you can carry four or five at a time.
Easy to clean, easy to use and lambs and kids love its little ledge to make them feel secure.
The Ezi Lock hooks lock onto any rail type up to 75mm and flip upside down after feeding.
Fitted with Milk Bar™ Lamb/ Kid Teats to control the milk flow.
How to use
With Ezi Lock Hooks you can hang this feeder on anything from wooden rails to steel gates.
Simply hang the feeder in place, lock the hooks and fill with milk.
After feeding you can either remove the feeder, or flip it upside down until the next feed.
To give your lambs and kids the best drinking position, hang the feeder on a rail around 65 cm high. This puts the teat at 25cm which is the optium height for them and helps the oesophageal groove to close and milk to bypass the rumen.
How do I change my teats?
Milk Bar™ Teats have a pull through design to sit snugly against the feeder wall for optimum hygiene. However, while this is the most hygienic system, it can also be difficult to change teats!
Use a Teat Tool: This is by far the easiest method. The purpose designed Teat Tool plucks the teat from the feeder with minimal effort in seconds.
Pull the teats out by hand: When removing by hand, make sure to either pull the teat directly down or up. If you try to pull the teat straight out, it will be a tough job!
Cut the teats out: Make sure the blade is sharp and you use the knife away from you.
Make sure to check the teat alignment is correct and the slit is vertical!
