Directions
Important: Do not mix Oxy-Gard M with water, any other teat dips, or other products unless specified in product use instructions. If transferred from original container to any other, make sure that the other container is thoroughly precleaned and bears the proper container labeling for Oxy-Gard M. If product in dip cup becomes visibly dirty, discard contents and replenish with undiluted product. Do not reuse or return any unused product to the original container. Protect from freezing. If frozen, mix well by shaking or rolling container.
Before Milking: Wash teats thoroughly just prior to next milking with appropriate udder wash solution or pre-milking teat dip to avoid contamination of milk. Teats should then be dried with single-service towels. Use proper procedures for udder washing or predipping.
Pre-Milk Dipping: Fill teat dip cup with Oxy-Gard M. Do not dilute. Before each cow is milked, dip each teat full-length into the teat dip cup containing Oxy-Gard M. Wipe teats dry after dipping, using single-service towels to avoid contamination of milk.
Post-Milk Dipping: Immediately after each milking, use Oxy-Gard M at full strength. Dip each teat full-length into the teat dip cup containing Oxy-Gard M. Allow to air dry. Do not wipe. Always use fresh, full-strength Oxy-Gard M. Do not turn cows out in freezing weather until Oxy-Gard M is completely dry.
For Teat Spraying Pre-Milk Spraying: Before each cow is milked, spray entire teat with Oxy-Gard M. Wipe teats after spraying using single-service towels to avoid contamination of milk.
Post-Milk Spraying: Immediately after each milking, use Oxy-Gard M at full strength. Spray entire teat with Oxy-Gard M. Allow to air dry. Do not wipe. Always use fresh, full-strength Oxy-Gard M. Do not turn cows out in freezing weather until Oxy-Gard M is completely dry.
Expanded Usage: When freshening cows, begin dipping teats twice daily for about 10 days before calving. precaution: Oxy-Gard M 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 veterinarian.
