Seal: Internal Teat Sealant Strategies
نویسنده
چکیده
Orbeseal consists of bismuth subnitrate formulated into an inert viscous malleable paste that does not have any antibiotic or antimicrobial properties. It is delivered in a tube and is infused into the teat end after drying off in a manner similar to infusing a dry cow antibiotic. After infusion it fills the fissures and folds of the teat canal thereby creating a seal preventing the entrance of pathogens through the dry period.
