Combat hyperkeratosis in record time

More than seventy percent of dairy Holstein cows show hyperkeratosis or teat end callusing.

WHAT IS HYPERKERATOSIS ?

Hyperkeratosis is teat end damage and/or callusing due to aggressive vacuum and teat stress/teat trauma during milking. Teat end callusing is the ideal biotope (living environment) for mastitis causing bacteria and reduces the natural barrier (closure teat end muscle) against bacteria. Post-milking dips are significantly less effective on teats with hyperkeratosis and therefore lose most of their effectiveness.

 

 

HYPERKERATOSIS = MORE SUSCEPTIBLE FOR INFECTIONS

Cows with indications of hyperkeratosis are up to 40% more susceptible to mastitis infections and up to 70% relapses after an initial infection. AKTIVPULS contributes to the removal of this hyperkeratosis, thus contributing to less infections and a better udder health.
