For you as pig breeder, sows with a good milk production are vital. After all, more milk means bigger, healthier and stronger piglets at weaning. Towards the end of gestation, fluid buildup in and around the udder tissue (oedema) can cause the udder to feel firm or swollen. Not only may this prevent a good milk flow, it may also result in poorly accessible teats for the piglets. To relieve your sows 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.
Udder oedema and mastitis
Udder oedema in sows is an excess build-up of fluid in the mammary tissues. It presents itself with firmness of the mammary glands and a failure in milk let down. Severe oedema, especially in the rear glands, can make the teats difficult to access for piglets during nursing. As a result, these glands are often not used and may dry off prematurely, reducing the accessibility to sufficient milk even further.
Udder oedema may be followed by mastitis. Mastitis also leads to poor colostrum and milk intake by the piglets, causing poor growth rates and higher mortality. Considering the treatment costs involved, mastitis may also threaten the sows longevity.
Focussed support for tense udders
Kanters has specially formulated Exolium Udder Spray for use on the udders of gestating and lactating animals. It combines herbs with natural cooling agents to help keep the skin cool, soft, and comfortable—especially during vulnerable periods such as udder oedema.
The formulation supports the skin through carefully selected ingredients and contributes to the animal’s overall well-being. Thanks to the inclusion of essential oils, the skin quickly absorbs the formula, promoting healthy blood circulation and supporting milk production. These natural oils offer a wide range of beneficial effects, including soothing, skin-nourishing, and protective qualities. Their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties also play a key role in maintaining udder health, making Exolium Udder Spray a practical and gentle care solution.
Easy to use and sustainable
Exolium Udder Spray comes in a compact and ready-to-use spray can that is always within reach. The natural dye makes it easy to identify treated sows for a long time. Is your spray can empty? Don’t throw it away, but refill with our 5 litre can. This makes Exolium Udder Spray not only practical, but also a sustainable choice.
All in all, Exolium Udder Spray is an easy and effective choice for farmers who want to optimise the comfort of their sows during critical periods.
