<strong>Valiant</strong><br />
<strong>Foam</strong>-<strong>Active</strong> <strong>Wipes</strong><br />
A unique pre-milking<br />
teat wipe<br />
The ultimate protection<br />
for long life udders
VALIANT<br />
FOAM-ACTIVE WIPES<br />
WHAT ARE THEY<br />
A new unique wipe designed to be used<br />
before milking, <strong>Valiant</strong> <strong>Foam</strong>-<strong>Active</strong><br />
wipes are based on the popular <strong>Valiant</strong><br />
<strong>Foam</strong>-<strong>Active</strong> udder care product from<br />
<strong>Genus</strong> ABS. These foaming wipes are a<br />
convenient one-step prep, providing a<br />
superior standard of pre-cleansing.<br />
HOW DO THEY WORK<br />
<strong>Valiant</strong> <strong>Foam</strong>-<strong>Active</strong> uses a specially<br />
formulated combination of active ingredients,<br />
resulting in a highly effective antibacterial<br />
foaming disinfectant. We have<br />
developed these new wipes as part of<br />
our on-going commitment to innovation<br />
and investment and from listening to our<br />
customers needs.<br />
The broad spectrum anti-bacterial action<br />
of the wipes remains intact, even when<br />
contaminated with 10% organic matter,<br />
such as muck, milk or soil. They have<br />
been proven in scientific laboratory trials<br />
to be superior to other leading teat wipe<br />
products currently available (see graph<br />
one).<br />
HOW TO USE...<br />
• The solution is to be activated by<br />
adding the catalyst into a drum of<br />
<strong>Valiant</strong> <strong>Foam</strong>-<strong>Active</strong>.<br />
• The roll of wipes is then placed into<br />
the bucket provided and soaked for<br />
a minimum of 10 minutes with the<br />
activated <strong>Valiant</strong> <strong>Foam</strong>-<strong>Active</strong>.<br />
• The wipes are then ready to use. It<br />
is essential that one wipe per cow is<br />
used to avoid cross contamination.<br />
• The activated solution should be<br />
used within 14 days.<br />

FOCUS ON<br />
MILKING ROUTINE<br />
A SIMPLE, EFFECTIVE ROUTINE IS ESSENTIAL...<br />
It is vital to have a consistently good standard<br />
of milking routine, and it doesn’t have to<br />
be complicated. Follow our four-step guide<br />
below and don’t forget to wear gloves. Cracks<br />
and contours on your hand harbour harmful<br />
bacteria, so wearing gloves is imperative!<br />
BENEFITS OF A GOOD MILKING ROUTINE...<br />
• Clean teats, free from muck and dirt.<br />
• A dramatic reduction in the number of<br />
bacteria on the teat, preventing infection<br />
during milking.<br />
• A good pre-milking routine leaves cows<br />
ready to milk out quickly decreasing<br />
machine-on time and increasing milk yields<br />
(see diagram one).<br />
STEP ONE:<br />
STRIP<br />
STEP TWO:<br />
WIPE<br />
This removes the milk with<br />
the very highest cell count<br />
from the teat. It also gives<br />
the milker an opportunity<br />
to check for clots that may<br />
indicate an infection and it<br />
most effectively stimulates<br />
the cows milk let-down reflex.<br />
Wipe the teats with the<br />
<strong>Valiant</strong> <strong>Foam</strong>-<strong>Active</strong> wipes,<br />
using one wipe per cow.<br />
The anti-bacterial properties<br />
begin to work as soon as the<br />
foam contacts the teats. The<br />
combination of the foam and<br />
the wiping action leads to a<br />
very effective clean as well.<br />
STEP THREE:<br />
APPLY<br />
STEP FOUR:<br />
DISINFECT<br />
DIAGRAM ONE: BENEFITS OF AN<br />
EFFECTIVE PRE-CLEANSING ROUTINE<br />
Increased rate<br />
of milk flow<br />
Machine on time<br />
decreases by 12%<br />
Healthier teats<br />
Extra stimulation<br />
of teats<br />
Less teat damage<br />
and bruising<br />
Cows milk out<br />
more fully<br />
Possible increase<br />
in yields<br />
Higher profitability<br />
At this stage the cow will be<br />
thoroughly stimulated, will<br />
be ready to be milked and is<br />
likely to yield more too. The<br />
cluster should be applied<br />
soon after wiping.<br />
After milking...<br />
Within 30 seconds of the<br />
cluster coming away from<br />
the cow the teats should be<br />
dipped or sprayed with one<br />
of the <strong>Valiant</strong> post<br />
milking range.
