Dry living environment - Cattle

Lower pathogen pressure on animals with moisture control

Micro-organisms require moisture to survive.

By creating and maintaining a dry environment in the stable you limit the growth and spread of the pathogens causing diseases like coccidiosis and mastitis.

Take charge: improve hygiene and performance

Different areas where you can apply drying powders

Bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi thrive in moisture. Drying powders are easy to use and play a vital role in protecting the health of your calves and cows.

Young calves are still susceptible to disease. Controlling moisture in calf pens and hutches helps reduce the pressure of pathogens, including cryptosporidium. Mix MS DryCare through the straw in calf hutches and/or calf pens.

Reduce mastitis with dry stalls

When the cows lay down on the bedding in the stalls, their udders can come in contact with wet spots containing bacteria. Those bacteria can be a source of infection, such as mastitis and other udder illnesses.

We've found that applying a drying powder in these areas helps to improve udder health.
