Product Name 8L FLAT-BACK CALF FEEDING BUCKET
Product Image 8L flat-back calf feeding bucket with teat
Product Overview The 8L Flat-Back Calf Feeding Bucket is designed for controlled individual milk and milk-replacer feeding in dairy and beef calf-rearing facilities. Its flat rear profile sits securely against calf pen panels, gates or walls, improving stability during suckling and making efficient use of available housing space.

The food-grade plastic bucket features reinforced sides and base, an optimized bottom profile that helps direct milk toward the teat outlet, a graduated volume scale and a replaceable rubber calf teat. The smooth internal geometry minimizes difficult-to-clean corners and supports efficient daily sanitation in commercial calf barns.
Key Features
  • 8 L Feeding Capacity: Practical capacity for individual calf milk and milk-replacer feeding programs.
  • Flat-Back Design: The straight rear surface improves stability against calf pen panels, gates or walls.
  • Low-Residue Bottom Profile: The shaped base helps direct milk toward the feeding outlet so calves can consume more of the prepared ration.
  • Reinforced Plastic Construction: Side and bottom reinforcement increases durability for repeated commercial farm use.
  • Food-Grade Material: Suitable for milk-feeding applications and routine calf-house hygiene procedures.
  • Graduated Bucket: Volume markings assist with consistent preparation and monitoring of individual feeding quantities.
  • Natural Rubber Calf Teat: Replaceable teat supports natural suckling behaviour and controlled liquid intake.
  • Easy-Clean Interior: Smooth geometry with reduced right-angle corners simplifies rinsing and sanitation.
  • Metal Carry Handle: Provides convenient transport between milk preparation and calf housing areas.
  • Optional Wall Bracket: Galvanized mounting hardware can be used for secure installation on suitable calf housing structures.
Structural Components
  • Flat-Back Bucket Body: Molded plastic body designed to rest securely against a flat pen or wall surface.
  • Reinforced Side Panels: Additional molded structure improves resistance to impact and repeated handling.
  • Reinforced Base: Strengthened lower section supports daily use and maintains the bucket profile.
  • Graduation Scale: Molded or marked volume indicators assist with ration control.
  • Rubber Calf Teat: Food-contact teat positioned at the lower front of the bucket.
  • Teat Holder / Valve Assembly: Secures the teat to the bucket and controls milk delivery toward the nipple.
  • Metal Handle: Supports filling, carrying and positioning during feeding rounds.
  • Optional Galvanized Bracket: Allows fixed or removable wall-side mounting according to calf pen configuration.
Working Principle Milk or prepared milk replacer is poured into the bucket according to the required feeding quantity. The graduated scale helps staff maintain consistent portions between calves.

The shaped bottom directs liquid toward the lower teat outlet. When the calf suckles the rubber teat, milk passes through the teat holder and valve system into the nipple. The flat-back structure keeps the bucket stable against the mounting surface during feeding and helps reduce unnecessary movement.
