IMPULSE IP-MV Triangular Liner Shell System April 4, 2012: Knutson Bros. Dairy (Mark, Ron & Chuck Knutson), located near Ossian, IA milks 215 cows, 2x in a Double 10 parlor. Mark owner says, ‘The single biggest observation we’ve made is that our SCC dropped from 230,000 to 140,000. The only major change we made in our normal operation was the IMPULSE liner. Our teat end condition is much better than it was and we don’t have the spiders and teat-end scabs we did before. Overall, we are treating less cows! What fascinates me the most is the how dry the teats are after the unit has detached from the udder. The teats are bone-dry with the IMPULSE liner, and before the teat ends were wet after detachment. Our post dip can now work like it’s suppose to. If you don’t have the IMPULSE you should!”

We are happy with that considering we were struggling in the 300,000 range prior to trying the IMPULSE liners. Our teat ends began showing improvement in 3-4 weeks. We also have observed how relaxed our cows are when being milked and units are removed – no tugging at the claws as the units retract. We really like the way they detach! I don’t see us trying a different liner unless they can make these better! We are really happy with them!”

John, owner says, ” A contributing factor in maintaining a 150,000 SCC is because of BAC-DROP in the parlor. It’s inexpensive to put it in an it’s a very cheap insurance policy. There’s no guessing, just spray the water and it’s there. I know whatever is sprayed is clean.” “There should be no farm without BAC-DROP in the parlor!”

BEE-LINE works!”
BEE-LINE PRE 5-1-12: Vorpahl Farms, located in Random Lake, WI milks 1200 Cows, 3X in a Double 24 parallel parlor. Their cows are in a free-stall barn and bedded with sand. Prior to using BEE-LINE PRE they were using a .5% iodine as their pre-dip. Tegan (Manager) said, “The single biggest observation to me is BEE-LINE PRE’s ability to stay on the teat and clean. BEE-LINE PRE allows our milkers to see the dirt on the teat and really clean it better. Our SCC has been as low as 130,000 and — bottom-line it’s more cost effective than iodine.”

For alot of products, you don’t always get what is promised, but the Valiant Pre product worked extremely well for our dairy in cutting the cost of mastitis and improving teat condition.”
