Bacticube
BACTICUBE cubicle liner contains Apex, a unique blend of natural plant extracts, especially selected for their bactericidal properties & proven effectiveness against Streptococci, Staphylococci & E. Coli, the major mastitis causing organisms.

Mastitis is without doubt the most important disease on Irish dairy farms today. The cost of mastitis to Irish dairy farmers is estimated at 30 million per annum and is made up of the following costs:

Sub-clinical Mastitis is present in up to 50% of apparently normal cows. (Source: Teagasc Research) Sub-clinical Mastitis is the major source of financial loss in most dairy farms.

Sub-Clinical Mastitis Costs

Fine limestone has proven itself to be effective in the fight against Environmental Mastitis and is a standard recommendation by Teagasc in the control of mastitis. Now fortified with Apex, a unique blend of natural plant extracts especially selected for they're bactericidal properties and proven effectiveness against Strep, Staph and E. Coli, the major mastitis causing organisms, we bring you BACTICUBE cubicle liner. Mastitis can be controlled not eliminated- Bacticube is an essential aid in the control of Environmental Mastitis

Directions for Use
Sprinkle liberally at back of cubicle at least twice daily.
Recommended Usage
75g-100g per cubicle space
Warning
Ensure cubicles are cleaned down prior to application of Bacticube.

Pat Morrissey Farm Manager Cashel Blue Dairy Herd - 160 Dairy Herd, 1565 gls predicted herd average - Winner of 2001 Gold Medal, British Blue Cheese“On-farm hygiene is more important than ever. Our milk is used in the manufacture of the renowned Cashel Blue Cheese; therefore on-farm hygiene has to be extremely good.
I wanted a natural, safe, hygiene product. I needed one that would neutralise and dry floor surfaces and kill bacteria. Bacticube, I found did all that.The results speak for themselves. The cows are a lot cleaner and easier to manage. Mastitis at present is virtually nil and the cell count is extremely low.”

Agrical
AGRICAL has been designed and graded to suit many applications on your farm.

It's primary use is in the control of odour and maintenance of sanitary conditions in livestock buildings such as cubicle houses, calving pens and lambing boxes, feed lots, piggeries and stables. AGRICAL is a superfine powder, which makes it super absorbent.

Unlike limestone, which contains a high level of grit, it will not damage hoof surfaces.

Equally important, it is fine enough to be held in suspension in slurry so that there is no build-up on tank floors which is a major problem with other dressings.

Directions for use: Apply as required on all important floor surfaces after cleaning. Ensure surface is dry before application.

The risk of injury or infection to confined livestock is reduced, where Agrical is spread on concentrate floors to absorb any fluids present. Bedding treated with AGRICAL subsequently has a greater fertilizer value for soil application.

MILK FEVER A PLACE FOR ORAL CALCIUM

Super soluble for rapid calcium release to help prevent milk fever in susceptible cases. AGRICAL has proven to be a highly effective preventative against milk fever where acute outbreaks are a problem. AGRICAL can be mixed with a cereal or pulp mix and top dressed on forage. Alternatively it can be dosed in a liquid suspension.

Recommended Dosage:
125g 12 hours before calving
125g immediately after calving
125g 12 hours after calving

SUPER SOLUBLE FOR QUICK CALCIUM RELEASE
Note: If low blood phosphorous (p) levels coexist with low blood calcium (Ca) levels, 3 doses of 180g 6 ozes of di-calcium phosphate can be used instead of limestone flour.
