Jen’s tips for clean dry beds this autumn!

It will be soon be time to bring your cows inside for the autumn/winter. To help avoid an outbreak of environmental mastitis when the cows are housed, always ensure the cubicles are clean and dry. A good quality bedding conditioner such as Zorbisan Active will absorb liquid in between bedding up times, and unlike lime and other well-known conditioners, will dry out again so it doesn’t cake onto the cow’s teats or the beds, proving a menace to remove!

Having dry, disinfected cubicles and with all liquid absorbed, makes the area an unsuitable environment for mastitis causing bacteria to live and breed. Zorbisan Active has been proven to kill environmental mastitis bugs including Strep Uberis, Klebsiella and Ecoli, and is specially formulated to be kind to the cows teats, unlike lime which can burn and sting on contact.
