CIDLines Mastitis solutions available at Kelliher’s Agri

ACCURATE udder hygiene is key to combating mastitis and its nasty effects and there’s one product now available at Kelliher’s Feed and Agri Supplies in Ballymullen, Tralee: Kenocidin® Spray and Dip.

It answers all the criteria needed to effectively keep cattle and farm profits in optimum health.

The ideal teat dip provides excellent teat condition, facilitates sphincter closure and has a strong disinfectant activity.

The coverage is homogenous around the teat because of its perfect viscosity. Medicinal registration is the validation of such a concept.

Veterinary medicines need to comply with several restrictions. The raw materials for example that are used for these products need to have a quality guarantee, complying with the European Pharmacopoeia. Several stability studies are an extra hurdle to reach the veterinary medicine status.

The National Mastitis Council states that the rate of new intra-mammary infection can be 50 per cent lower when disinfecting teats with an effective product immediately after every milking compared to no disinfection.

Teat disinfection does not affect existing mammary gland infections but may reduce colonization of the teat-duct.

Kenocidin® Spray and Dip is available now at Kelliher’s Feed and Agri Supplies Ltd, Ballymullen, Tralee, on (066)7123446 or manager John Lynch on (086)8136865.
