Teat Spraying
Effective use of a post-milking teat disinfectant was a critical element of the Five Point Mastitis Plan developed by NIRD in the UK in the 1970’s. The importance of good teat barrel coverage with a post-milking teat disinfectant now forms a fundamental part of mastitis control programmes throughout the international dairy industry.
Post milking teat disinfection is an essential part of any mastitis control plan, and over the last 40 years has been shown to be very effective in controlling the spread of mastitis. With the correct product, it also has major benefits in improving and maintaining teat skin condition so that the teat can withstand the rigours of milking.
