It was eventually decided to use "nipple drinkers" as drip feed bottle seemed to be more related to household pets. Thanks to everyone for their very valuable suggestions!

Apologies - I was speaking from personal experience, rather than "research"...I see from the Internet that "nipple drinker" could well be what you are after...though it might be a good idea to cross reference this in Spanish and actually see whether this

It would more likely be something to do with "teat" rather than "nipple" as I remember a few years ago that my children fed lambs at a farm with a bottle with a large nipple, but this would be very different to a "drip feed", so I don't think "teat" is OK

I've been looking through the suggestions this morning - thanks to everyone for their ideas - and leaning towards 'drip feed bottle' for the reasons given by Liz and Bill (it's what I kind of visualised as well!). I've come across "nipple drinker" in the meantime...any thoughts??

drop feeder

Explanation:
Hog and calve farmers in the US frequently use what is called a 'drop feeder' for suckling pigs and calves. I believe this is what is referred to here.

As Liz points out, perhaps the proper term is "drip feeder"....the link below would support that. Although I find it hard to differentiate between a drip and a drop in this context.

PLEASE DO NOT CHOOSE THIS ANSWER!!! I'M CONVINCED LIZ ASKEW HAS THE PROPER TERM HERE, SINCE DROP FEEDERS ARE MORE OFTEN USED TO 'DROP' DRY FEED DOWN A SMALL TUBE THAT HAS A SPRING LOADED DISPENSER. THE QUESTION HERE IS NOT ABOUT POINTS, BUT ABOUT THE RIGHT ANSWER!!
