Short Calf teat 4mm Forster

Short Calf Teat (4mm Hole) – Förster Compatible

Part Number: 211025 | Suitable for Förster-Technik Automatic Calf Feeders

Ensure your calves get the best start with the Short Calf Teat, specifically designed for use with Förster-Technik automatic drinking machines. This durable, high-quality teat features a 4mm hole diameter, providing a controlled milk flow that mimics natural nursing and encourages proper swallowing and digestion in young calves.

In an automated feeding environment, the teat is the most frequent point of contact for your livestock. Over time, constant use can lead to softened rubber or enlarged holes, which can cause milk to flow too quickly, increasing the risk of digestive upset or "gulping." Replacing your teats regularly is a simple, cost-effective way to maintain consistent feeding behavior and hygiene.

Features & Benefits

• Förster-Technik Optimized: Fully compatible with all Förster-Technik calf drinking machines, ensuring a secure fit and reliable performance on your automated feeder.
• 4mm Precision Hole: The 4mm diameter is engineered to provide the ideal flow rate for calves, promoting healthy sucking reflex and saliva production.
• Short Profile Design: The compact "short" shape is designed to fit standard feeder mounting plates, making it easy to swap out during daily cleaning.
• Durable, Food-Grade Material: Manufactured from high-tensile, flexible rubber that stands up to the rigors of a 24/7 feeding schedule and frequent sanitization.
• Promotes Natural Digestion: By controlling the speed of milk intake, this teat helps prevent milk from entering the rumen, supporting better overall calf health and growth rates.

Maintenance Tip

To ensure optimal calf health, we recommend inspecting your teats daily for signs of wear, cracks, or "stretched" holes. If the 4mm opening has become jagged or significantly larger, it’s time for a replacement. For the best results, use a dedicated teat cleaner or an alkaline wash to remove milk fats and biofilms from the internal surfaces of the teat.
