Teat sprayer reliable and precise

-

Udder health and teat condition are major factors in mastitis management. Many studies have shown that teat spraying to ensure good teat and udder health reduces mastitis by 50 to 60 per cent.

However, it must be done well to be effective.

The job of manually teat spraying can be difficult and time-consuming, often resulting in inconsiste­nt coverage.

Automatic teat spraying is an excellent solution to ensuring consistent performanc­e, provided you choose the right system.

The WETiT QD0 in-race teat sprayer, as seen in Shane and Sarah Goldsmith’s shed, is the brainchild of designer/ director David Carey, whose aim has always been to develop a system which sprays more reliably and accurately than a person.

The QD0 has a lengthy detection zone and uses innovative computer technology which monitors every cow, switching on and off at different positions, ensuring the udder is sprayed with the best coverage possible.

Every cow, regardless of its movement, size or shape is guaranteed to be accurately sprayed.

Even ‘‘clever’’ cows which deliberate­ly try to avoid the teat sprayer can’t fool this system.

In addition to the ‘‘how and when to spray’’ technology, the system uses four nozzles, angled and accurately controlled with high pressure to ensure complete teat barrel and udder coverage.

WETiT teat sprayers are designed by a company which has specialise­d in automatic teat spraying for the past two decades.

Their extensive research and developmen­t includes slow motion video, on-farm testing and substantia­l farmer feedback, making them arguably the most knowledgea­ble team in the world when it comes to automatic teat sprayers and accessorie­s.

The company has a reputation for producing top-of-the-line equipment backed up by a dedicated technical support team focused on customer satisfacti­on.

They back up their promises with a moneyback satisfacti­on guarantee, 18-month warranty and a free phone number for technical support and assistance.
