UdderCare: Quality Milk Systems

The most continuous task you are challenged with as a dairy producer is managing milk quality and output. To properly manage, and even increase, milk quality and production, a producer must ensure that a cow is comfortable in her environment. Cow comfort is directly related to the amount of milk she produces. Thus, it’s important to not turn a blind eye to proper udder care—otherwise, you may put your operation at risk for unstable milk production.  

At ABS Global, we have a comprehensive UdderCare product line that can help improve or maintain cow comfort, but what sets us apart from anyone else in the teat health business is our people! Our people are here to support you every step of the way. 

Two Reasons to Make Managing Udder Health a Top Priority   

The first reason for udder health management is mastitis control. One of the most expensive health problems in the dairy industry is mastitis. It costs a dairy more than any other disease. Mastitis can lead to lower production and milking inefficiencies. The important thing to remember is that insufficient germicidal effectiveness or improper cleaning can increase the risk of harmful bacteria being left behind which can cause mastitis. 

The second reason for making udder care a key priority in your dairy is teat health. Well-conditioned teats mean healthy teats which equates to better milk quality. A cow’s vulnerability to infection may be increased by the dryness, cracking, or chapping of its teat skin. Maintaining healthy teat skin will reduce your risk of infection, improve cow comfort, and boost profitability through effective milking.

Healthy teat skin is a critical component of the cow’s own defense against mastitis.
