How to Use

1. Preparation:
   • Choose a suitable feeding bottle or bucket that is compatible with the lamb teat.
   • Clean and sterilize the teat before the first use and after each feeding session to maintain hygiene.
   • Fill the feeding bottle or bucket with the appropriate milk replacer or colostrum, following the manufacturer’s instructions for mixing and temperature.
2. Attachment:
   • Attach the lamb teat securely to the feeding bottle or bucket. Ensure there are no leaks and the teat is properly fitted.
   • Check the flow rate by gently squeezing the bottle or bucket. Adjust if necessary to ensure a steady, but not too fast, milk flow.
3. Feeding:
   • Hold the bottle or position the bucket at a comfortable height for the lamb, simulating the natural nursing position.
   • Gently introduce the teat to the lamb’s mouth. Some lambs may need a bit of encouragement, so be patient and persistent.
   • Allow the lamb to suckle at its own pace. Monitor the feeding to ensure the lamb is swallowing properly and not choking.
   • If using a feeding bucket with multiple teats, ensure all teats are functioning correctly and that multiple lambs can feed simultaneously without competition.
4. Post-Feeding Care:
   • After feeding, clean the lamb teat thoroughly with warm, soapy water and rinse well.
   • Sterilize the teat by boiling it in water for a few minutes or using a sterilizing solution recommended for baby bottles.
   • Inspect the teat regularly for signs of wear and tear, such as cracks or splits, and replace it as needed.
5. Storage:
   • Store the clean, dry lamb teat in a safe, hygienic place until the next feeding session.
