★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Read reviews »

Elongated latex nipple for dairy goat kids or other small ruminants accustomed to nursing from a longer teat. “Flat-back” design attaches flush onto Bucket Teat Units or Mountable Teat Feeders.

Due to flat-back design, washer (Item #565100) is included with each nipple. Use the washer to help prevent leakage between the bucket wall and the teat unit.

Instructions/Diagrams:

Benefits
Latex teats are a good choice for goat kids when nursing from an artificial nipple. Latex has a soft “teat-like” feel that newborn animals readily accept. We recommend using latex teats for 8–10 days, then switching over to long rubber teats for added durability until weaning.

Our lambs prefer the short style latex nipples over the long.

Specs
  • Dimensions: 2-5/8" x 1-3/8"
  • Natural latex color
  • (1) washer is included with each nipple
  • Easy to clean

Tips
Latex is more easily damaged by sharp teeth than rubber. Use a Tooth File to smooth the tips of the sharp tooth (teeth) with 4–5 passes. The goal is to remove the sharpness, not to completely file down the teeth. (Note: Hungry barn cats may also be the root cause of nipple damage. Remove bucket feeders after use.)

If the milk flow seems too slow, take a Pocket Scalpel (or other sharp knife) and enlarge the “X” slit in the end of the teat. Be careful! Do NOT cut the end too large or the milk will constantly leak out.

Precautions
Store away from direct sunlight. UV light will break down latex material.

Cannot be used on soda pop bottles.

Do NOT leave empty bottles or bucket feeders in the orphan pen. Lambs and goat kids will chew on nipples (in an attempt to feed) and damage the teats. A habit that is not easily reversed.

Dairy Kid Long Latex Teats
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

I have tried everything to get my bottle boer kids onto a bucket-feeding system for years. This year I purchased these nipples and my twin girls went right in with no issues. They’re currently 2 weeks old and going through a gallon of milk every 24 hours. Highly recommend it for fussy boer kids!

These look more like a goat teat than the short red rubber nipples. My Nigerian kids took right to these!
