| Ambic presents dip cup research at NMC conference | ||
|
||
| Ambic presented the results of a research project it has been conducting into dip cup technologies at the recent NMC international mastitis conference which was held in Charlotte, North Carolina from 25-28 January 2009. This project was undertaken in conjunction with the Institute for Animal Health located in Compton, England and was spearheaded by Dr. Elizabeth Berry a leading researcher into bovine mastitis.
The research project studied the contamination of dip cup components, including Ambic’s new DipMizer. It confirmed the potential for a build up of mastitis-causing pathogens to occur and highlighted the importance of being able to easily disinfect dip cup attachments between milkings. The new DipMizer is produced from a flexible thermo-plastic material which makes it very quick and easy to dismantle the dip cup and to sanitise the brush attachment and housing between milkings. |
