...Because Quality Counts

What veterinarians and customers are saying:

“The responses I expect when a herd switches to Valiant are two-fold: 1) a marked improvement in teat skin condition and 2) a reduction in new clinical cases of mastitis.

I see these responses even in herds leaving a ‘high-emollient’ product. In contrast to cheaper products, Valiant’s efficacy makes it very cost effective.

As I explain to my clients, Valiant is a new generation, ‘high-performance product. It places the user in a competitive advantage position compared to other non-Valiant herds.Valiant places the user in a position to survive the current economic challenges.

ABS and Ecolab have teamed-up to provide a truly high-performance product in the new Valiant line. It’s a winning combination, demonstrating that success is unlimited with teamwork.”

-Dr. Roger S. Thompson, DVM, Team Management Concepts, Battle Creek, MI

“Pre and post dipping with good teat dips is key in a mastitis control program. We are seeing excellent teat condition with Valiant Pre and Encore Barrier, and our somatic cell count is consistently 140,000 to 150,000 on 600 cows averaging 94 pounds a day. Valiant Pre does an excellent job of cleaning teats, virtually eliminating the need for water. We’ve had a real positive experience with Encore Barrier – the size of the hospital pen is minimal now. We share a quality bonus of over $4,500 each month with our milkers, plus we have lower treatment costs, spend less time handling problems, and have higher production due to healthier udders. We have been using Valiant Pre and Encore Barrier for the last couple years and I can say our teat dip program is definitely doing its job, returning a value to me over and above its cost.”

- Hill Brandsma, Brandsma Dairy, Wendell, ID

“We use Express with an in-line mixing system and the Maximizer spray gun to pre and post spray our 350 cows. It marks teats well - I can see the blue on the teats from quite a distance.Teat end condition has improved and our SCC has gradually dropped from over 400,000 to 250,000 in 1½ years since we started using Express. Our quality bonus has averaged higher, too.”
