Teat spray price drop
FIL, the animal health and dairy hygiene subsidiary of GEA Farm Technologies, is dropping the price for its chlorhexidine teat spray products.
FIL's new Milker’s Wipes have landed in New Zealand.
Designed for use before sampling, treating, sealing, or milking, Milker’s Wipes are formulated with 75% ethanol for rapid disinfection.
Each tub comes with 150 ready-to-use wipes and is ACVM-approved for use on lactating animals, including dairy cows, goats, and sheep.
“We know our farmers need ‘no’ fuss hygiene options,” says Mike Robinson, FIL’s national sales manager.
“These wipes have been designed for busy farmers who take milk quality seriously and also want simple, reliable solutions.
“They’re ideal for disinfecting teats before first milking, or sanitising hands and udders before dry cow therapy or teat sealant application, helping reduce contamination and support udder health from the get-go.”
Milker's Wipes are available in Farm Source stores.
