Protect your lamb feeder teats and reduce downtime with our in-house designed Lamb Feeder Protector Cap.
This screwfit cap replaces the traditional nuts on teat holders with a curved cone to protect the teat. The curved rim & rounded edges are molded to prevent nose chaffing and damage to lambs while feeding. It acts as a shield for the teat, reducing the risk of damage caused when lambs push or butt each other off during feeding – saving you frustration, time, and money.
From my own experience, damaged teats can quickly lead to hungry lambs which then gorge when a new teat is fitted, increasing the risk of deadly bloating, especially on ad-lib feeders. By protecting the teats properly, you’re not just saving on repairs — you’re helping to maintain healthier, happier lambs.

They fit perfectly on one of my feeders but there’s a small leak on the second feeder,(too different makes) having said that have 21 lambs on the 2 feeders (in separate pens) and the older (4 weeks plus) lambs were biting teats like there was no tomorrow, and I was keeping milk in front of them all the time, from the first time of fixing the little yellow umbrellas on haven’t had one tear bitten, wish I’d found these years ago.
Need to get them on pretty tight but with a damp cloth they come off easily for cleaning.
