For you as dairy farmer, cows with a good milk production are vital. To achieve this, your cows need to be in good health and easy to milk. At the end of gestation, lymphatic fluid may accumulate in and around the udder tissue (oedema), resulting in hard udders. Not only may this give problems with milk letdown, it can also lead to mastitis, permanently damaged udder tissue and other health issues because the cow will lie down less. To relieve your cows and you from hard udders and its consequences, Kanters introduces Exolium Udder Spray: a caring spray for udders, based on essential oils and other natural ingredients.
Oedema, hard udders and mastitis
Oedema is a non-infectious metabolic condition in dairy cows. Characteristics are the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the mammary gland and surrounding tissues, causing tension in the udder. Usually, it occurs around calving. Several studies indicate that udder oedema may be associated with an increased risk of clinical mastitis.
Mastitis in dairy cows incurs significant economic costs. Besides the direct cost of treatment—which can reach up to €235—milk production losses are often the biggest economic burden. No wonder mastitis is one of the three biggest reasons for early culling.
Targeted care for sensitive udders
Exolium Udder Spray has been specifically developed for application to the skin of the udders of gestating and lactating animals. The spray contains herbs combined with natural cooling agents. These ingredients help keep the skin cool and supple during critical times, such as those that occur in case of udder oedema.
The composition of Exolium Udder Spray has been optimized to care for the skin and increase the animal’s well-being. Because of its essential oils, the spray easily penetrates into the skin, which supports blood flow and milk production. Essential oils offer a multitude of valuable properties, not limited to antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory characteristics. On top of that, they have analgesic and skin-care properties which are crucial for maintaining healthy udders.
Practical and sustainable
Exolium Udder Spray comes in a compact and ready-to-use spray can that is always within reach. Treated animals are easily to identify thanks to the natural dye that remains visible for a long time. And is your spray can empty? Don’t throw it away, but refill with our 5 litre can. This makes Exolium Udder Spray not only easy to use, but also a sustainable choice.
All in all, Exolium Udder Spray is a practical and effective choice for farmers who want to optimise the comfort of their dairy cattle during critical periods.
