| Field(s) of use | Indoor DISINFECTION FOR VETERINARY HYGIENE: Teat disinfection product for milkable animals (cows, buffaloes, sheep, goats) for use after milking. |
| Application method(s) | Automated dipping (RTU) Open a can containing the RTU product and insert the suction tube of the automated dipping-system. Before milking clean teats carefully by automatic procedure or manually. After milking, the vacuum is shut off and the teat dip is injected into a manifold on the claw piece. The teats are coated with 2-4 ml of dip when the teat cup is withdrawn by the Automatic Cluster Removal (ACR). After the removal of the ACR, every liner of the automated dipping-system is thoroughly rinsed with water and blown out with compressed air. In a final cleaning step after each milking session of the herd, the liners are disinfected (e.g. with a chlorine-based product) and blown out again with compressed air. Afterwards, the milking system is ready for the next milking event. The whole process is automated. |
