Milk Bar Calf Feeders

By Milk Bar

Last reviewed: December 2025

Teat-based calf feeding systems designed to promote proper suckling behavior and controlled milk consumption.

Milk Bar manufactures calf feeding equipment featuring specially designed teats that control milk flow rate. The patented teat design provides consistent, slow flow that promotes proper suckling behavior and saliva production for better digestion.

Products include multi-calf feeders for group housing, individual bucket systems, and colostrum feeders. The teats are designed to last and provide consistent performance across many feedings.

Milk Bar is a New Zealand company with global distribution. Their research-based approach focuses on calf welfare and development through proper feeding technique rather than just delivery of milk.
