Compare calf milk feeding buckets and group feeders by container capacity, number of feeding positions, mounting arrangement and overall dimensions. This guide covers two single-position buckets and three multi-teat feeders. Teat count describes the equipment layout, not a guarantee of equal intake or a feeding recommendation.
Single-position calf milk buckets
| Product | Capacity | Material | Feeding positions | Height | Dimensions |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8L Calf Milk Feeding Bucket ERV-DF-CAL-00026 |
8 L | PP | 1 | 280 mm | Not listed; confirm |
| 4L Single-Teat Calf Milk Feeding Bucket ERV-DF-CAL-00030 |
4 L | PP | 1 | Not listed; confirm | 210 x 235 x 220 mm |
ERV-DF-CAL-00026 lists an 8 L PP body, 280 mm height and 4 mm wall thickness. ERV-DF-CAL-00030 lists a 4 L PP body, dimensions of 210 × 235 × 220 mm and a weight of 0.77 kg. The 4 L model also lists a rubber teat, marked graduations and a mounting arrangement that hangs on a suitable tube. Confirm the tube fit and supplied mounting parts.
Six-, eight- and twelve-teat calf feeders
| Product | Capacity | Teat count | Material | Dimensions | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 38L Six-Teat Calf Feeder ERV-DF-FED-00001 |
38 L | 6 | PE | 710 x 520 x 385 mm | 3.4 kg |
| 38L Eight-Teat Calf Feeder ERV-DF-FED-00002 |
38 L | 8 | PE | 710 x 520 x 385 mm | 3.44 kg |
| 55L Twelve-Teat Calf Feeder ERV-DF-FED-00003 |
55 L | 12 | PE | 1082 x 770 x 355 mm | 9.1 kg |
Same 38 L capacity, different teat counts
ERV-DF-FED-00001 and ERV-DF-FED-00002 both list 38 L and overall dimensions of 710 × 520 × 385 mm. The first has six teats and a listed weight of 3.4 kg; the second has eight teats and a listed weight of 3.44 kg. Select by product code and teat count together rather than capacity alone.
The six-teat model explicitly lists rubber teats and metal mounting clamps. Those material entries are not established for the eight-teat model by this comparison. Ask for its supplied teat and mounting specifications if those are purchasing requirements.
ERV-DF-FED-00003 lists a 55 L PE body, twelve teats, dimensions of 1082 × 770 × 355 mm and a weight of 9.1 kg. Its larger dimensions need a separate fit check for the intended location. The listed weight does not establish the strength or load rating of a proposed support.
Check placement and mounting before ordering
- Measure the available space and the support or tube to which the feeder will be attached.
- Provide photographs or a drawing of the proposed mounting point and ask for the attachment dimensions.
- Confirm the exact mounting hardware included with the selected code; do not infer universal fence or tube fit from a photograph.
- Request model-specific instructions for handling, cleaning and inspecting the supplied equipment.
- For replacement teats, identify the existing outlet and fitting. Ask for confirmed replacement references rather than choosing by colour alone.
Ask for the installation and care sheet
Before agreeing a feeder configuration, ask for the model-specific installation and care sheet. Confirm the supplied hooks or clamps, support dimensions, mounting position and replacement teat part number. Request permitted cleaning agents and temperatures. Capacity alone does not establish an appropriate calf stage or feeding allowance.
Build an itemised feeder enquiry
Include the product code, capacity, teat count or feeding-position count, quantity, mounting details and destination. Specify whether spare teats, mounting hardware or other fittings are required. Ask for confirmation of any unlisted dimensions or materials before the configuration is agreed.
Frequently asked purchasing questions
Does a 38 L eight-teat feeder have eight independent compartments?
The reviewed specification establishes capacity and teat count, not separate compartment construction. Ask for confirmation if individual compartments are required.
Can I divide the total capacity by teat count to set a ration?
The calculation does not establish how much each animal consumes. This guide identifies equipment configurations; it does not provide a feeding plan.
Will the mounting clamps fit any fence?
Universal fit is not established. Supply the support dimensions and confirm the attachment and load requirements for the selected feeder.
Request a calf feeder quotation
Choose the required code and layout, then send quantities, mounting measurements and the desired supplied parts. Mark uncertain details as questions so they can be clarified in the quotation.
