ANTIBACTA™ - Antibacterial bedding for dairy cattle

ANTIBACTA is an easy-to-use bedding additive for cattle stalls. It is a highly-effective biodegradable carrier, impregnated with a revolutionary disinfectant system.

ANTIBACTA is soft and dry, and has proven to be effective in the control of mastitis causing bacteria, and in the fight against hospital superbugs.

The benefits of efficient mastitis control cannot be stressed too highly; not only from the aspect of minimising reduced milk yields / quality, high culling rates and veterinary costs, but also from the improved health of the herd.

ANTIBACTA - usage

Use ANTIBACTA at the rear of cattle beds (where the udders touch) to kill bacteria. Combine this with frequent cleaning of the beds and you have an extremely effective weapon and direct control of the causative bacteria. ANTIBACTA substantially reduces colonies of these virulent bacteria. (Some causative bacteria can double in number every 20 minutes!)

1. For best results, the stall should be thoroughly cleaned prior to using the ANTIBACTA bedding additive.
2. Apply ANTIBACTA generously (several handfuls) to the rear of the beds where the udders touch as the cattle lie down.
3. Apply ANTIBACTA at least once a day, after sweeping the beds thoroughly clean.
4. We recommend that the beds are swept and ANTIBACTA bedding additive is applied at every milking. This will give the maximum protection against mastitis-causing bacteria.
5. It is also recommended that the cattle be made to remain standing for at least 20 minutes after milking. This will allow teat canals to close up, thus preventing the ingress of bacteria.
