With cows return to their winter housing, chemical hygiene specialist Agroserve is urging farmers to reduce the number of environmental mastitis-causing organisms with a good quality bedding conditioner.
“A bedding conditioner such as Clinibed 24/7 can have a number of positive effects including reduction in microbial levels in bedding, cost and time savings, and cleaner cows with cleaner teats, all of which result in better quality milk,” Agroserve’s hygiene specialist Jenny Bowes said.
Cow bedding is the perfect breeding ground for environmental mastitis-causing bacteria such as Strep uberis, Klebsiella and E coli. Clinibed 24/7 absorbs the moisture from manure and urine ensuring that the cubicles are dry and sanitised making the area an unsuitable environment for mastitis-causing bacteria to live and breed.
As well as reducing the number of environmental mastitis causing organisms, dust levels are also reduced making Clinibed 24/7 suitable for herdsmen with breathing problems such as asthma.
