    Application of Diluted Eco-Gard Concentrate

    Directions for Teat Dipping

    Pre-Milk Dipping: Fill teat dip cup with diluted Eco-Gard Concentrate. Before each cow is milked, dip each teat full-length into the teat dip cup containing diluted Eco-Gard Concentrate. Wipe teats dry after dipping using single-service towels to avoid contamination of milk.

    Post-Milk Dipping: Immediately after each milking, dip each teat full-length into the teat dip cup containing diluted Eco-Gard Concentrate. Allow to air dry. Do not wipe. Always use fresh, diluted Eco-Gard Concentrate. Do not turn cows out in freezing weather until teat dip is completely dry.
    Directions for Teat Spraying

    Pre-Milk Spraying: Before each cow is milked, spray entire teat with diluted Eco-Gard Concentrate. Wipe teats after spraying using single-service towels to avoid contamination of milk.

    Post-Milk Spraying: Immediately after each milking, spray entire teat with diluted Eco-Gard Concentrate. Allow to air dry. Do not wipe. Always use fresh, diluted Eco-Gard Concentrate. Do not turn cows out in freezing weather until diluted Eco-Gard Concentrate is completely dry.

    Expanded Usage: When freshening cows, begin dipping teats twice daily for about 10 days before calving.

    PRECAUTION: Eco-Gard Concentrate is not intended to cure or help the healing of chapped or irritated teats. As with any germicide, irritation or sensitization may occur in sensitive animals. In case of teat irritation or chapping, have the condition examined and, if necessary, treated by a veterinarian.

    NOTE: Use blended Eco-Gard Concentrate within six (6) months of blended date.
