Review Disinfection

The ability of teat spraying to prevent mastitis depends on teat coverage achieved at each milking, and the measuring and mixing of the teat spray solution.

Teat spraying is wasteful when coverage is poor or the product is made up incorrectly. Regular checks of your equipment and mixing process will help avoid increases in mastitis infections.

Guideline 24 and Technote 24 provide practical and technical information on:
