For herds frustrated by clinical and subclinical mastitis in their heifers at calving time, Teatsealing them 4–6 weeks before calving start date can reduce clinical and subclinical mastitis in the weeks after calving by 65–80% (or more).
If calm and accustomed to the dairy, heifers can be treated in the dairy. However, using a hydraulic tipping crush makes this job a breeze: it is both easier and safer for everyone
Teatsealing heifers in the tipper crush can be done at your out paddock or dairy yards. At an out paddock, having the right set up makes a Teatsealing job quicker and easier.
If you would like help working out the clinical and subclinical mastitis rates in your heifers or have any questions about Teatsealing heifers, please contact one our Milk Quality team to discuss its use in your heifers.
