What is Uddermint / When is it used?

UDDERMINT is a specially formulated liniment cream containing 35% mint oil, designed for easy massage and absorption into the udder. It is used by dairy farmers for softening swollen and inflamed udders, and when used early can often help treat mild mastitis infections without the need for antibiotics. It is commonly used as an oedema preventative at calving time. 
At the first sign of a problem -  the earlier the better -  around 10 ml of UDDERMINT is massaged  for around 30 seconds into each suspect quarter, immediately after milking . UDDERMINT is  applied for around 3-5 days, and can be used with or without antibiotics. By speeding up the 'cure rate' use of antibiotics can be minimised. 

Promotes natural healing. (How does it work?)

The natural response of the cow to udder infection is to transport white blood cells (neutrophils and macrophages) to the site of infection.

The better the blood flow to the area, the more bacteria killing cells are available to combat infection. The quicker these cells are mobilised, the more chance the cow has of achieving a self cure without additional treatment with antibiotics etc.

Mint oil has been used for many years in many countries as a traditional remedy for bruising and muscle tension and improves blood flow by dilation of the capillaries. UDDERMINT has therefore been found to be very useful for udder infections and oedema. It also has an analgesic effect, soothing and softening the udder and making it easier to milk.

High Quality Ingredients

UDDERMINT is a specially formulated liniment cream containing a unique high quality triple refined Mint Oil to BP and Eur P standard at a strength of 35%.

Skin Friendly

The ‘skin friendly’ emulsion cream is formulated for swift massage into the udder without leaving any greasy deposit, simultaneously improving skin condition.

No harmful effect on milk yield or quality

UDDERMINT has been stringently tested by headspace gas analysis and organoleptic tasting panels and no taint of the milk has been detected. UDDERMINT has been shown to have no harmful effect on milk yield, butterfat, protein or lactose content of the milk. UDDERMINT is well tolerated by the cow.

Very Economical and Cost Effective

For best results use UDDERMINT at the first sign or suspicion of a problem. Its low cost also makes it very economical and cost effective for routine use as a preventative at calving time. UDDERMINT can also be used in conjunction with antibiotics to help speed up the healing process.

Manufactured to the highest standards

UDDERMINT is manufactured to the highest possible standards and is the original and successful formulation. Each dispenser is batch numbered. Manufacture is carried out to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 in the strictest conditions in a modern manufacturing plant with CGMP status.

Success

UDDERMINT is probably the most popular and successful dairy liniment throughout the world, and is valued by modern milk producers as a general aid to udder health.

Over the past 15 years, milk producers have found that early use of UDDERMINT has contributed greatly to successful management of udder health with reduced need for antibiotics.

It is also widely used for general aches and pains on the human body.
