No they suck on it. They form a vacuum with their mouths to get the milk out of the teat.
Because people milk them. Same stimulation as if a calf was sucking the teat.
A cow has four udders, each with a teat for milking.
There are four teats to a cow's udder. They are used for suckling a calf. In milk production, hand milking may be used, but large scale operations use milking machines (and reserve hand milking for sick cows, so that the contaminated milk does not go into the holding tank).
mastitis
The Glass Teat was created in 1970.
you fools in lakeland flo. where their head quarters is there is A FARM across cfronm their office and all employees are encouraged to milk the cows but not allowed to remove their hand from the teat for ten hours, got milk???
When a cow is milked, suction cups are fitted around each teat to create a vacuum which causes milk to be released in pulses. It usually takes each cow around 5-8 minutes to be milked, and cows are milked between 2-3 times a day.
Teat, nipple.

Check to see if its mother is actually producing milk and doesn't have mastitis or a blocked or blind teat. Does the kid have a temperature? Check to see that it does not have a cleft palate. You may have to bottle feed or tube feed it to get some milk into its abomasum.
The 'sucking tubes' are actually an assembly of several components. Teatcups attach to the cows teats. Teat Cups are cylindrical shells (typlically stainless steel) with a soft inner liner. Four of these teatcups are clustered together to make up a 'claw'. This claw assembly connects teatcups to the milk tubes, which transfers the extracted milk to the actual milking machine.
