Lasting teat protection.
When left up to nature, a dry cow’s natural keratin plugs may not form in time – or at all – to protect them from infection. That’s why LOCKOUT teat sealant simulates these plugs at dry off, creating an antibiotic-free barrier between the udder and bacteria in the environment.
When using this teat sealant for mastitis-preventive care, we recommend following a herd approach to mastitis control. LOCKOUT teat sealant is compatible with conventional dry cow management practices and is safe for use on non-lactating dairy cows and replacement dairy heifers. It requires no milk or pre-slaughter withdrawal. If intramammary antibiotics are administered while using LOCKOUT, please follow recommended withdrawal times.
Features & Benefits
Blue paste makes it easy to distinguish LOCKOUT from milk at first milking. In addition, the teat sealant offers:
-
A compact syringe that holds the same amount of product in a smaller tube. Not to mention a larger thumbpad for easier administration.
-
A simple pull-off cap. No need to twist or turn the top – it pulls straight off.
-
A short, half-inch plunger that makes it easy to administer a full four-gram dose of sealant into each teat.
Dosage & Administration
- LOCKOUT teat sealant is available in single-dose syringes, containing 4 grams of a sterile, non-antibiotic blue paste composed of 60 percent bismuth subnitrate in a mineral oil vehicle. Each syringe is sufficient for one teat.
- One pail of LOCKOUT contains 144 syringes for the treatment of 36 animals.
