Bottle-feeding grazing mammals is a crucial aspect of animal husbandry, especially when dealing with newborns or orphaned animals. Whether you are raising horses, donkeys, mules or cows, understanding the proper techniques and having the proper "Nip" to replicate mom is importance for their health and well-being. 
 
Using the Calf “Nip” system will help ensure optimal growth and development of your calves. 
 
Choose a "Nip" from our collection that matches the size and shape of the animal's natural teat. Animals may require different "Nip" types, such as elongated or specialized shapes. Familiarize yourself with the preferences of each calf and choose from the series of integrated sizes to accommodate all calf’s.
Introduce the bottle: Hold the bottle at an angle, allowing the animal to suckle naturally. Pay attention to the animal's cues, ensuring they are nursing comfortably. Bottle feeding also provides bonding between the caregiver and the animal.
Monitor feeding: Observe the animal during feeding for signs of satisfaction or discomfort. Ensure they are latching onto the "Nip" correctly.
 
When was the last time you stopped to think about the importance of calf nipples? We have strived to achieve the perfect blend of durability and ease of use. Newborn calves find it easiest to nurse on a softer nipple, and that’s why we have designed and tested a Calf “Nips” series for the developing calf.  
 
Our calf “Nips” are produced striving to achieve the perfect blend of durability and ease of use.  These “Nips” are made from a high food grade silicone that is soft and pliable but can withstand aggressive nursers.  Some calves can swallow more milk quickly and easily, while others may struggle with harder nipples.  Our Calf “Nip” system recognizes these differences and adapts the “Nip” to match the calf’s ability to nurse.
