I have kiwikit stallion feeders for the calves, and it takes screw in peach teats. I've been having problems with cross suckling and it's been recommended that I use slower teats. Does anyone know of any that will fit? View attachment 853753

Milk bar are slower. Is there an adapter to go on the feeder to make them fit as they’re not screw in.

I will make enquiries about an adaptor, thanks! I have heard the black ones are slower, I might try them if I can't get an adaptor.

I was told the peach ones are a softer training teat so should be on black ones when bigger

I find the peach teats can be slightly awkward and clumsy at times in a calfs mouth, especially if they are small calves. I've got a couple like this at the moment, born three days ago. Moved them onto milktrain feeder last night, which has a smaller teat, and there's no bother keeping them on now.

I train them on milk bar teats and when they go into the big pens at 3-4 days it's peach teats, I will try the black ones this year and see how they go. Thanks al.

Peach teats will pull trough the milkbar feeder hole with a struggle
