Dairy parlour hygiene from pre-milking to clean-down
Parlour hygiene involves several stages, from preparing teats before milking to maintaining equipment and cleaning the surrounding environment. Agri CareTrade Ltd supplies products designed for these different areas, including teat care products, disinfectants, foaming systems and specialist dairy cleaning chemicals.
The Pure Foam System, for example, provides a practical pre-foaming approach for teat preparation and can be configured around different milking parlour sizes. Our wider CID Lines range provides further options for teat care, parlour cleaning and dairy hygiene programmes.
Helping farms manage mastitis risk through better hygiene
Mastitis is one of the major economic challenges affecting dairy herds. While no hygiene programme can replace veterinary diagnosis or treatment, consistent teat and parlour hygiene can form an important part of a farm's mastitis-management strategy.
Agri CareTrade Ltd provides dairy farmers with product guidance, technical support and comprehensive hygiene audits. Our team can assess areas for improvement in hygiene practices and recommend appropriate products and routines. Dairy farms throughout Northern Ireland, including those in Belfast, Newtownabbey, Ballymena and surrounding areas, can access support, including an out-of-hours contact option for additional assistance.
