Cows post-milking dip solution

Dairy farms make their profit out of the high quality of the product they deliver. That is why the health of the livestock and the cleanliness of the site form the basis for the prosperity of this business.

Poor sterilization of the equipment, health code violation and skimping on consumables lead to a higher risk of contamination. Which can later be the reason for an outbreak on the farm and larger loss.

Post-milking udder care is one of the binding steps in the modern technology of milking. It is not only soothing and moisturizing teats after the procedure, but also sanitizing the working zone and the equipment.  

How does cows mastitis strike a farm 

Mastitis is a special form of bacterial infection that develops in the udder. It is caused by staphylococcus and streptococcus bacterias that infiltrate through the dairy canal or microscopic cracks and sores on the nipples. Usually, the source of these is manure or poorly cleaned environment.

A typical scheme of the infection spreading is:

— The first cow gets infected from the environment;

— Other cows get infected via poorly sterilized equipment;

— Calves get infected via the milk of the infected mother.

That is how the disease strikes the whole farm. Of course, all the milk that is produced by the infected livestock must be disposed of until the cattle are healthy again. That is why a complex quality and safeness control is required for this industry. The sooner the disease is discovered — the less economical damage it will cause.
