It's easy to think the hard part of the season, the part where teat care really matters, is behind you. It isn't. Peak is actually when teat skin is under the most physical strain all year, and it's exactly the point where a small gap in coverage does the most damage.Full milking frequency, full flow, full herd through the shed twice a day - that's a lot of cups going on and off, a lot of exposure, and a lot of opportu...

Twice a day, every day, hot detergent and acid move through the plant and the job gets done. But a plant that passes its daily wash can still be quietly building up trouble, and when the grades land, the daily routine on its own often can’t dig you back out.

New calvers are more vulnerable, routines are less predictable, and it's easy for a small gap in teat care to turn into a bigger problem once cows are in full milk.The good news: most mastitis risk at calving comes down to a handful of basics, done consistently. Here's a simple checklist to help keep your herd's teat condition and udder health on track through the calving rush....

Twice a day, every day, every cow.  Which is exactly why it's worth asking a question most farms never get around to: is the product you're using helping teat condition, or just managing it?Iodine is an effective broad-spectrum disinfectant with a long track record in New Zealand systems. But it's acidic by nature, and repeated application across a full season can gradually disrupt the natural pH bala...
