Udder care sprays
The use of the right udder care spray can support in improving udder health on your farm. This increases the milk quality and contributes to a higher lifetime production of the cow. In combination with optimal natural resistance and good health, the cow can spend all her energy on producing milk. At Lely we are convinced that using an udder care product supports the health of your cows. We are happy to advise you in choosing the udder care product that best suits your farm situation.
Lely opted for two active ingredients, lactic acid and iodine, to eliminate microorganisms. The disinfecting mechanism of lactic acid and iodine work in a different way. Lactic acid is a natural ingredient - also naturally present on the teat skin- and works by affecting the metabolism of bacteria and destabilizing the bacteria’s membrane. When used in the right formulation, lactic acid is non-irritating to the teat skin. Iodine (oxidizing) is a quick-acting ingredient. It is a more aggressive reaction that destroys the cell wall of bacteria or (mastitis) pathogens, therefore, it can be used as a corrective product. All Lely udder care products comply with the biocidal legislation, which means that they all achieve a minimal 5 log reduction within 5 minutes. Because each product emphasizes specific characteristics, you can choose a product that best fits the need of your herd.
The skin is a natural barrier that protects against external intruders. Therefore, it is important to keep the skin in optimal condition. The teat skin condition is constantly threatened by; among other things, the milking process, environment (weather, bedding etc.) and by the action of the disinfecting ingredient. That is why good udder care products also have to be rich in skincare ingredients to protect and hydrate the skin tissue.
Good udder health management is not just a matter of suitable udder care products, but part of an integrated approach. Other factors to keep in mind whilst maintaining good udder health are a clean environment, correct milk settings and teat liners, and a clean milking process.
