DIRECTIONS FOR USE

IMPORTANT:  Do not mix Blu-Gard with water, any other teat dips or other products unless specified in product use instructions.  If  transferred from this container to any other, make sure that the other container is thoroughly pre-cleaned and bears the proper container labeling for  Blu-Gard.

If product in dip cup becomes visibly dirty, discard contents and replenish with undiluted product.  Do not reuse or return any unused product to the original container.

Before Milking:  Wash teats thoroughly just prior to next milking with appropriate udder wash solution or pre-milking teat dip or teat spray to avoid contamination of milk.  Teats should then be dried with single-service towels.  Use proper procedures for udder washing or pre-dipping.

Pre-Milking Dipping:  Fill teat dip cup with Blu-Gard. Do not dilute.  Before each cow is milked, dip each teat full-length into the teat dip cup containing Blu-Gard.  Wipe teats dry after dipping, using single-service towels to avoid contamination of milk.

Post-Milk Dipping:  Immediately after each milking, use Blu-Gard at full-strength.  Dip each teat full-length into the teat dip cup containing Blu-Gard.  Allow to air dry.  Do not wipe.  Always use fresh, full-strength Blu-Gard.  Do not turn cows out in freezing weather until Blu-Gard is completely dry.

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

Precaution:   Blu-Gard 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.
