Product Information
Full details
NETTEX Udder Salve is a professional-grade teat and udder conditioner designed for dairy farmers and livestock owners seeking to maintain optimal skin health in their herd. By combining pharmaceutical-grade petroleum jelly, lanolin, and glycerine, it provides a protective barrier against harsh environmental conditions, ultimately preventing chapped or sore teats; however, users must ensure the udder is clean before application to prevent trapping debris against the skin.

FAQs
Is there a milk withdrawal period?
No, this product does not require any milk withdrawal period.
Can I apply this before milking?
It is recommended to apply this after milking to ensure the protective layer remains on the teat skin during the period between milkings.
Does it contain medicinal ingredients?
The salve is formulated for skin protection and emolliency using pharmaceutical-grade components; it is not a medicated treatment for mastitis.
How should I store the 4-litre tub?
Store in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly secured to prevent contamination.
Is it safe for all cows?
Yes, it is designed for standard dairy cow udder care, though you should always observe for individual sensitivities.
Troubleshooting
Salve is too firm to spread easily
Store the container in a warmer location for a short period to allow the product to reach room temperature.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This product is ready to use directly from the 4-litre container. No mixing or dilution is necessary. Ensure that you use a clean applicator or gloved hand to remove the salve from the container to avoid cross-contamination of the supply. Store the container in a cool, dry area away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the lanolin and petroleum jelly. Always tightly seal the lid after each use to prevent debris from entering the tub.
