Teat Care Products
Disinfect | Stimulate | Repel | Condition
Clean, healthy teats are the first line of defence against mastitis. Effective teat disinfection helps reduce the number of mastitis‑causing bacteria on the teat surface, lowering the risk of infection while supporting improved udder health, lower Somatic Cell Counts (SCC) and better milk quality.
Ark Farm Innovations offers two high-performance teat disinfectants, designed to deliver reliable protection against major mastitis pathogens, while maintaining excellent teat condition, encouraging milk let-down and repelling flies. Suitable for application - pre and post milking - by spray, dip cup, foamer, cluster application and robotic milking systems, both products provide excellent teat coverage, prolonged contact time and a protective barrier against environmental contamination.
