Active Teat Conditioner
Active Teat Conditioner is an emollient enriched skin conditioner for adding to FIL teat sprays during early lactation and challenging periods.
Why choose Active Teat Conditioner?
- Contains quality skincare ingredients including Aloe Vera, Allantoin, and Manuka honey
- Increases overall teat condition
- Leaves teats supple, less prone to drying and cracking, and better protected
- For use in challenging periods
- Great in cold, wet, windy weather conditions often experienced during early lactation
Why the need for extra emollient?
Water and mud strip the protective natural oils from skin. The cold, wet, muddy conditions experienced during early lactation induce hardening and thickening of teat skin, causing drying and chapping.
The resulting cracks and teat sores are painful, making cows uncomfortable during milking which causes them to kick and stomp. Plus, if a cow is uncomfortable her milk let-down will likely be poor.
It’s important to provide teats with extra support during early lactation or in high-risk periods by adding extra emollient to increase overall condition and aid protection.
