Post-Milking Teat Disinfection (view source)
Revision as of 20:28, 26 April 2011
, 20:28, 26 April 2011→Spraying vs Dipping
'''Teat dipping''' is performed with a teat cup which consists of two compartments. The lower compartment is squeezed to move product into the upper compartment which is used to coat the teat skin surface. Compared to spraying, less product is used (10ml per cow) due the more controlled approach. However, it is still important to cover the whole teat with some operators only dipping the distal end of the teat.

Although spraying may seem the quicker approach, effective application takes a similar amount of time per cow as dipping and is more prone to operator error.
