Post-Milking Teat Disinfection (view source)

Manual application of the disinfectant is the most common approach taken by farms. This should be performed as soon as possible after the cluster has been removed to minimise the entry of pathogens into the udder from the teat skin. With the teat orifice being open after milking, disinfection should also kill bacteria residing within the milk canal.
