The teat guard was designed to improve the lifespan of teats for lambs,goat kids and calves
Some lambs have “poor sucking technique” especially when taken off a ewe for some reason, and this develops into a habit that others copy
It is designed so that lambs will have to approach the teat “head on” which prevents chewing with back teeth that cause the damage. It is suitable for all ages. Can be fitted to most teat bar systems.
In addition, the Teat guard will also reduce bullying as large lambs find it more difficult to displace baby lambs.
Works in the same way regarding calves, calves tend to chew on the teats as they get older out of boredom. This guard can protect the teat from damage.
