Dry living environment
Challenges in the barn
Preparing a dry environment
A clean, dry and comfortable environment is key for good results. MS DryCare soaks up to 200% moisture and is ideal to add to the bedding for a dry start and healthy cows.
Moisture control
Wet spots in boxes or on beds? MS DryCare brings the moisture back under control with up to 200% absorption. That way it quickly dries problem areas and keeps the environment dry and comfortable.
Udder care
Drying powder slows down the growth of bacteria by removing moisture.
How moisture control
helps to reduce the spread of pathogens
Bacteria need moisture to grow. Too much moisture in bedding or calf huts creates the perfect place for pathogens. MS DryCare helps control the moisture and reduce the risk of spread:
- Drier bedding material: Dry, clean beds keep udders dry and cows comfortable. It also helps prevent skin damage from wet conditions.
- Improved hygiene: Replacing wet or dirty bedding with fresh, dry material lowers moisture levels and reduces the risk of bacterial growth.
