Hygiene Supplies: Disinfection and Cleaning for Stable and Yard

Hygiene Supplies: From the Stable Door to the Udder

Hygiene in the stable is not a single product, it is a chain, and it is only as good as its weakest link. The best surface disinfectant is of little use if every visitor carries the pathogen in fresh at the door. That is why everything that closes the chain sits together here: disinfection mats and boot dip trays for the entrance, surface and hand disinfection for the working day, cleaners and paper towel rolls for the milking routine.

The entrance is the most important point

Disinfection mats come here for footwear in a format of 85 by 60 centimetres, with sealed sides for stable doors and as a lorry set at 400 by 120 centimetres for the farm entrance. What matters is not the model but that the mat stays wet, because a dried out mat is nothing more than a doormat. Where more security is needed there is the boot disinfection tray, and pull off trays for one or two pairs make sure that stable boots never leave the building in the first place.

Surfaces, hands and the milking routine

For surfaces there are stable disinfectants against viruses, bacteria and fungi, blue spray as an aerosol and alkaline intensive cleaning concentrates in 5 litre canisters, plus matching dosing pumps for containers from 20 to 220 litres. For hands there are washing pastes with scrubbing particles, and the version with perlite or sand free wood flour cleans without microplastics. And in the milking routine the paper towel rolls belong, two and three ply, giving every udder a fresh cloth instead of one rag for the whole herd.

Frequently Asked Questions

How often does the disinfection mat need topping up?
As soon as the surface dries out, which in warm weather often means daily. Dry, it has no effect at all.

Why paper towels instead of a cloth at milking?
Because a cloth carries germs from udder to udder. A fresh towel per animal is the simplest measure against transmission.

What is a dosing pump good for?
It delivers the same amount per stroke. That prevents overdosing and makes your consumption easy to calculate.
