Blue Seal Cow Teat Sealant is a product designed for use in dairy cows to help maintain teat health and prevent mastitis, which is an inflammation of the mammary gland and udder. Here are the primary benefits and uses of Blue Seal Cow Teat Sealant:
Prevention of Mastitis: Mastitis is a common and costly disease in dairy cows that can negatively impact milk production and cow health. This Sealant is used as a preventative measure to help reduce the risk of mastitis. It acts as a barrier, sealing the teat canal after milking to prevent the entry of bacteria and pathogens, thus reducing the likelihood of infection.
Post-Milking Protection: After each milking, the teat canal remains temporarily open, creating a vulnerable entry point for bacteria. Applying the sealant to the teat end after milking helps create a physical barrier that prevents bacteria from entering the teat canal, reducing the risk of new infections.
Improved Teat Health: Blue Seal Sealant Gelhelps promote and maintain teat health. By preventing bacteria from entering the teat canal, it reduces the likelihood of infection and subsequent inflammation. This can result in improved overall teat condition and reduced instances of mastitis.
Ease of Application: Blue Seal Cow Teat Sealant is formulated to have a suitable consistency and viscosity for easy application. It can be easily applied using an appropriate applicator, typically in the form of a specialized syringe or dip cup. The product is designed to adhere to the teat and form a protective seal until the next milking.
Compatibility with Milking Practices: This Teat Sealant is designed to work in conjunction with standard milking procedures.
