Excal is a renowned brand across Australia and New Zealand, known for its diverse range of durable teats designed for young farm animals.
Choosing the Right Teat: It's common for lambs and kids to resist a new type of teat if they've been reared on another. For best results, start and continue with the same type of teat to ensure a seamless feeding experience. This resistance to change is normal and does not reflect the quality of the new teat. For best results, it's advisable to consistently use the same type of teat from the start.
Excal's Range: Excal provides a wide selection of teats, ensuring that you can find the perfect match for your rearing needs from the beginning
The Excal Topper Teat is the most versatile as it fits onto any standard 28mm thread plastic coke and soda bottles. The EXCAL Topper is a long-lasting teat, that will rear quite a few lambs without breaking up. And lambs love it. If you wish to speed up the flow for stronger lambs, just extend the tip x-cuts slightly. You will find the topper teat on our ever-popular Lamb Excal Bottles. The bottles are a lightweight 1-litre capacity with an air inlet valve mounted in the handle cavity. The valve can be covered with a thumb or finger to slow-up drinking rate, if desired.

The Excal Little Softy is a rubber 'starter' teat for newborn lambs/kids and is compatible with our milktrain and bucket feeders. The inverted tip provides fast-flow with no leaks. The Little Softy teat will fit straight into any feeders that use standard New Zealand-manufactured pull-through calf teats. This enables any of these type calf feeders to be easily converted to lamb or kid feeding. The 'Little Softy' is a very soft 'starter' teat- easily identified by its white colour). Once the lambs/kids are older, teats should be changed to the black 'Grower' teat.

The Excal Grower Teat is a firm rubber teat that is designed to replace our Little Softy as the animals get stronger and start chewing the teats. This black teat is made of stronger, harder rubber that is longer lasting than the Little Softy teat. Excal little softy and grower teats can be used in any calf bottle or feeder that uses a Big Softy teat (22mm hole).

Excal Lamb bottle - The Excal lamb feeder (with Excal lamb teat) is an affordable, popular and lightweight 1L bottle. Featuring a small air valve inlet, that when covered provides a slower drinking rate. Replacement teats available.

Excal Kid bottle - The kid feeding teat is a heavier-duty teat than the lamb feeding version, because goat kids are more prone to chewing teats. The teat is longer, and thicker to ensure longer life under heavy use. The bottle is a lightweight 1-litre capacity, with 30mm cap. Air inlet is via the small valve in the handle cavity, which can also be used to control the milk flow if desired.

Lamb Feeder - Easy Feeder, this popular 2.5L feeder uses the “little softy teat”. You can feed several lambs off one full bottle, due to its capacity. The teat can be exchanged for the Grower teat for older lambs or kids. This bottle is also a great choice if you are wanting to transition to a feeder later, like our Lamb Milktrain. The four place Milktrain comes with Little Softy teats that can also be changed to the Grower teats.
