Benefits
Decreased incidence of new intramammary infections.
SureSeal decreases the incidence of new intramammary infections, which results in less production losses associated with subclinical mastitis, thereby increasing profitability.
Decreased incidence of clinical mastitis
SureSeal decreases incidence of clinical mastitis, in the dry period but also especially in the first 30 days after calving. As a result fewer labour and medication costs associated with treatment of mastitis would be expected.
Easy Application
SureSeal is easy to use, even on cold New Zealand mornings.
Clear differentiation from mastitis
SureSeal is easily differentiated from mastitis when rubbed between your fingers, reducing the likelihood of inadvertantly mistaking SureSeal treated cows for mastitic cows.
Facts
Teat sealing reduces clinical mastitis cases in the subsequent lactation.
Teat sealing reduces subclinical mastitis cases in the subsequent lactation.
Teat sealing decreases SCC of the herd
Mastitis causes a decrease in farm profitability by decreasing milk production, decreasing milk quality, increasing treatment co
70% of clinical mastitis occurs in the first 10 days post-calving
In an average herd, 12% of cows will develop clinical mastitis during each lactation
This means approximately 8.4% of cows may develop clinical mastitis during the first 10 days post-calving
