Zoetis OrbeSeal Dry Cow Intramammary Teat Sealant Device 4gm - 144 Syringes

Zoetis OrbeSeal Dry Cow Intramammary Teat Sealant Device 4gm - 144 Syringes

Dairy producers have trusted ORBESEAL^® for 15 years to help protect cows from new mastitis infections during the dry period. ORBESEAL is a sterile nonantibiotic intramammary infusion in the form of a viscous paste. The first-to-market teat sealant works by:

• Mimicking the cow’s natural first line of defense, the keratin plug
• Providing a safe, antibiotic free physical barrier between the udder and the environment

Key Benefits:

• Mimics the cow’s natural first line of defense, the keratin plug.
• Provides a safe, antibiotic-free physical barrier between the udder and the environment.
• Compatible with conventional dry cow management practices.

1. Teats should be clean and dry. If teats are not clean, CAREFULLY wash and dry them before disinfection.
2. Using an alcohol pad, physically clean the end of the teat to remove any contaminated skin, dirt or manure. Repeat until the pad remains clean.
3. Disinfect the far teats before the near teats to avoid accidental contamination of previously disinfected teats.
4. Insert the syringe nozzle of ORBESEAL^® into the teat canal, grasp the base of the teat near the udder attachment with two fingers, press firmly together and slowly inject all contents. Use one complete syringe per quarter. Do not massage. ORBESEAL must remain in the teat to be effective.
5. Insert ORBESEAL into the nearest teats first, to minimize contamination of teats that have not been treated.
6. After inserting ORBESEAL, mark the cow so others can tell she has been dried off. Then dip each teat with a quality teat dip.

ORBESEAL requires no milk or preslaughter withdrawal. Follow the withdrawal rules described on the label when ORBESEAL is used in conjunction with a dry cow treatment program.

TO REMOVE ORBESEAL, PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS:

1. To effectively strip ORBESEAL, be sure to grab the top of the teat ― where it meets the udder ― and work all the way down. Don’t grab the middle of the teat; squeeze and work down. This will only clear the bottom half of the teat. Strip the entire quarter by starting at the top and working all the way down.
2. Strip aggressively ― 10 to 12 times per quarter ― for the first four days post-freshening. This helps to ensure that you're removing the plug and all particles of ORBESEAL. Do not remove ORBESEAL by action of the milking machine.
3. Milk into a bucket for the first three to four days post-freshening. This will help to remove any remaining particles of ORBESEAL.

Packaging

Primary packaging for ORBESEAL is a ready-to-use polyethylene intramammary syringe filled with 4 grams of the teat sealant infusion. The product is supplied in plastic buckets containing 144 of the intramammary syringes.
