Cloths wipe out bugs in parlour

KILL 99.99% of parlour bugs with Safeguard germicidal teat cloths which come in an easy-to-carry canister with an adjustable shoulder strap, says developer Kit Speakman Marketing.

The cloths are said to be as effective as pre-dipping and as convenient as dry wiping, and will kill E coli and Staph aureus bacteria. KSM says they are practical to use and allow a one-step preparation of cows before milking which will help reduce the spread of mastitis.

It recommends using one of the extra strong cloths for each cow. A pack of 12 canisters with 150 cloths in each, and a shoulder strap, costs £39.99 (08456-030306, Lo-call).
