A feeding bottle is used for feeding calves for several reasons.

Sucking reflex: Calves are biologically programmed to suckle from birth. Bottle feeding mimics the natural act of suckling from the mother’s udder, which stimulates the calf’s natural sucking reflex and helps them consume more milk.

Milk quantity control: With a feeding bottle, you can accurately monitor how much milk or milk replacer a calf consumes. This is important to ensure that each calf receives the correct amount of feed and to track their consumption trends.

Personal care: Some calves may be weaker or slower than others. A feeding bottle allows for direct, individual feeding, ensuring that every calf receives the necessary nutrition.

Hygiene: When feeding bottles are properly cleaned and maintained, they can be more hygienic than some other feeding methods. This reduces the risk of illness in calves.

Less stress for calves: When nursing cows are not available or calves are separated from their mothers, bottle feeding can be more comforting for the calves than other alternative feeding methods.

Easier handling: When calves are bottle-fed, they become accustomed to human presence, which can make handling them easier in the future.
