Livestock farmers now have a durable, sanitary option for bottle-feeding calves, lambs, and small ruminants: a new line of food-grade plastic nursing bottles, rolling out this month from agricultural supply manufacturers.

The 2L bottles feature FDA-approved polyethylene construction—translucent enough to monitor feed levels, yet thick enough to resist cracks from rough handling. Their snap-on or screw-on red rubber nipples (formulated for long-term pliability) attach securely to prevent leaks, while integrated measurement markings (in pints and liters) simplify portion control.

“These bottles address two big pain points for producers: durability and sanitation,” says a product engineer at Miller Mfg Co, one of the brands debuting the design. “The smooth, easy-to-clean surfaces cut down on bacteria buildup, and the nipple material holds up even with aggressive nursers.”

Available in bulk cases of 12, the bottles are compatible with standard calf nipple replacements and can be paired with optional wire racks for organized storage. Early adopters report reduced feed waste and faster feeding routines compared to traditional rubber or glass containers.
