Teatseal & Dry Cow Therapy InsertionOur intramammary insertion teams of vets, technicians and trained casual staff are available to make the whole process simple for you. It's a difficult job and requires attention to detail, so we recommend using our technician teams to save you the hassle! You are investing when giving a sealant or antibiotic treatment to your cows at drying off and incorrect technique can hinder the effectiveness - get our trained tech team on the job and make sure your investment is in safe hands. Best Practice insertion techniques must be adhered to for all products, even those containing antibiotics, as it is possible to push naturally resistant bacteria up into the teats if strict hygiene is not maintained throughout.
Farmers choose our teams on their farms for two distinct purposes:
- Whole herd dry-off treatment
- Heifer teatseal insertion
After you use our team, it becomes a "must-have" on the budget each year after that!
Whole Herd Dry-Off Treatment
Regardless of whether the cows are receiving antibiotics or not, hygiene is crucial at dry-off time of your adult cows. The cow faecal bacteria, E. Coli, is naturally resistant to antibiotics in many dry therapy products. If this accidentally enters into the udder, severe mastitis can occur.
Whole herd antibiotic, partial herd antibiotic with partial herd teatseal only or even whole herd combo-treatment; our technician team makes drying your herd off a breeze. Our ability to cater technician numbers for your herd sizes, ensuring we complete the job to a high standard and efficiently!
Heifer Teatseal Insertion
Using sealants pre-calving in heifers to prevent mastitis is one of the most successful new ideas generated in the dairy industry over the last few years. Results achieved on-farm are consistently BETTER than the trial work showed for many farmers; heifer mastitis and weak or blind quarters are now a thing of the past!
Because we are dealing with untrained animals with small teats, some real skills and training are required to ensure the best results are achieved.
Our technician team routinely inserts teatseal into about 15,000 heifers each year, so it’s fair to say we’re experienced when it comes to this work!
Due to health and safety, we have some strict criteria that must be followed to ensure that quality is maintained and our technicians are kept safe.
