Application of Diluted Optima Concentrate
Directions for Teat Dipping
Pre-Milk Dipping: Before each cow is milked, and using fresh Optima Concentrate, dip each teat full-length into the teat dip cup. Wipe
teats after dipping using single-service towels to avoid contamination of milk.
Post-Milk Dipping: Using fresh Optima Concentrate, dip each teat full-length into the teat dip cup. Do not wipe. Allow to air dry. Do
not turn cows out in freezing weather until the product is completely dry.
Directions for Teat Spraying
Pre-Milk Spraying: Before each cow is milked, and using fresh Optima Concentrate, spray entire teat. Wipe teats after dipping using
single-service towels to avoid contamination of milk.
Post-Milk Spraying: Using fresh Optima Concentrate, spray entire teat immediately after each milking. Do not wipe. Allow to air dry.
Do not turn cows out in freezing weather until the product is completely dry.
Expanded Usage: When freshening cows, begin dipping teats twice daily for about 10 days before calving.
PRECAUTION: Optima 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 Optima Concentrate within twelve (12) months of blended date.
