Product Details

Description

EfferCept is a concentrated teat dip and spray tablet designed specifically for dairy cattle udder hygiene and mastitis prevention programs. The effervescent tablet technology dissolves quickly in potable water to create a powerful sanitizing solution for use before and after milking.

EfferCept’s hypochlorous acid technology remains effective even in the presence of dirt, manure, and other organic matter commonly found in dairy environments. Independent testing referenced by the manufacturer showed EfferCept killed 99.99% of Staphylococcus aureus within 15 seconds of exposure.

EfferCept helps control a broad spectrum of contagious and environmental mastitis-causing pathogens commonly associated with dairy cattle operations, including:

  • Escherichia coli (E. coli)
  • Staphylococcus aureus
  • Streptococcus uberis
  • Streptococcus agalactiae
  • Klebsiella species
  • Pseudomonas species
  • Mycoplasma species
  • Proteus vulgaris
  • Salmonella choleraesuis
  • Salmonella typhimurium
  • Listeria monocytogenes
  • Candida species
  • Aspergillus species

EfferCept can be applied as a pre-dip. post-dip, teat spray, foam teat dip, and a teat scrub solution. The concentrated tablet format helps simplify storage and handling compared to traditional liquid teat dips while allowing producers to mix only the amount needed for their operation.
