Twice a day the cluster goes on, and on top of that come wet, cold and cleaning agents. Teat skin takes a lot. Cracked or brittle skin is uncomfortable for the cow and gives germs a way in. Regular care keeps the skin elastic. In this section you will find udder care gels, milking grease and balms for daily use after milking.
Gels, balms and milking grease
Gels with peppermint oil feel cool and spread easily, which is welcome after a long milking. Milking grease and skin balms lay down a greasy layer and are popular in winter, when wind and frost put the skin under extra strain. Plant based options such as marigold ointment are used on well worn spots. Apply the product to clean, dry skin and work it in briefly. With every product, follow the manufacturer instructions on use and check whether a withdrawal period applies. Some products are expressly declared as having none.
Care and hygiene work together
Care does not replace hygiene, but it supports it. Iodine based teat dips combine both, because they protect the teat canal and bring a re greasing component with them. The order matters: clean and dry first, then milk, then dip or care for the skin. Watch the skin regularly. Cracks, redness or thickening can also come from the milking plant, for example from vacuum that is set too high or from worn liners. If something changes clearly or stays that way, talk to your vet. Keep a tub within reach of the exit, then the care step never gets skipped at the end of a long milking.
Frequently asked questions
When do I apply udder care?
Usually straight after milking, on clean and dry skin. The product can then soak in before the cow lies down.
Gel or milking grease, which is better?
Gels soak in faster and feel cooling. Milking grease and balms lay down a protective greasy layer and are popular in winter.
Do I have to watch withdrawal periods?
Always read the manufacturer instructions. Some products are expressly declared without a withdrawal period, others are not.
Care for udder and teats
Teat skin works hard every day, and it shows when care is missing. Cooling gels with peppermint oil bring quick relief after a long milking and spread thinly and evenly. Milking grease and skin balms lay down a greasy layer that is especially welcome in wind, wet and frost. Plant based ointments with marigold are a popular choice for well worn spots. Care works best on clean, dry skin right after milking, when you work it in briefly. Iodine based teat dips combine protection and care in a single step. Watch the skin closely while you do it, because lasting cracks or redness are a case for your vet. A thin, even layer is usually enough and saves product. Store gels and balms frost free, then they stay easy to spread. A quick look at the liners at the same time often explains stressed skin.
