What makes a good pre-milking teat disinfectant?

Good pre-milking teat disinfectants contain skin-friendly surfactants that take the product into all the crevices of the teat skin, ensuring speedy soil removal and disinfection. Fast and efficient removal of both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria is another important consideration. They should also be suitable for all application methods and provide high foaming capabilities to allow lower usage rates.   

  • Contains skin-friendly surfactants which take the product into all the crevices of the teat skin, ensuring speedy soil removal and disinfection. 
  • Have proven fast and efficient removal of both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria found in the environment. 
  • Be suitable for all application methods and offer high foaming capabilities to allow lower usage rates. 
Pre Foaming versus Dip? 

Foaming application can reduce the amount of product used to around 4ml per cow per milking versus 10ml to 15ml per cow when dipping or spraying. This can equate to using 24 liters of product per month (for 100 cows) as opposed to 60 to 90 liters for dipping and spraying.

How will this affect your farm? 

Teat disinfection is a critical step in disease prevention and ensuring the highest hygienic quality milk. In addition to the removal of mastitis-causing bacteria, products should: 

  • Stimulate milk let down which will speed up the milking process but with less damage to teat ends. 
  • Removal of soil contamination from skin before milking. 
  • Improved teat condition protects animal welfare by removing opportunities for mastitis-causing bacteria to settle. 
  • Improved bactoscan results due to the reduction in bacterial loading (including coliforms) from the teat skin. 

The integrity of our range ensures maximum efficacy across all application methods.  

What does a post-milking teat disinfectant do? 

Post-milking teat disinfectants need to kill bacteria on the teat at the end of milking. They also need to ensure protection between milkings, this includes retaining smooth, hydrated skin condition to discourage the harbouring of bacteria. Their purpose is simple: to protect the quality of milk through disease prevention. 

The correct choice of product is defined by the specific needs of your cow management, seasonality and lactation status of your herd.
