In cows with severe udder or extremely severe udder edema, often in combination with a narrow leg position, the skin of the udder and thigh in the udder-thigh gap is stressed. A particularly humid, warm environment is created that destroys the protective mechanisms of the udder and thigh skin. The friction between the thigh and udder surfaces also leads to heating and inflammation of the skin surfaces. A secondary infection with environmental germs or pathogenic microorganisms causes the dreaded udder-thigh eczema to develop primarily in highly pregnant and first-milking heifers.

Characteristics:

VACASAN means in a figurative sense KUH-WEHL Good for the cow.

The cooling care foam contains marigold extracts and menthol. In particular, the extracts of Calendula Officinalis (marigold) are generally used and valued in all kinds of care products as having a skin-soothing, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and regenerating effect. The menthol cools over-stressed and inflamed areas of skin. The nourishing components soothe irritated skin and support its regeneration. The unique formulation leaves a protective lubricating film that reduces friction between the two inner skin surfaces.

Thanks to the foam formulation and the supplied tubes, VACASAN can be sprayed and distributed particularly easily and hygienically into the udder-thigh gap.
VACASAN is listed on InfoXgen and is therefore also suitable for use in organic farms.

Application and dosage recommendations:

The udder-leg gap regularly during milking check. At the first sign of skin irritation or a change in odor, apply VACASAN to the affected skin areas. Before use, shake the spray can vigorously and, with the can held vertically and the tube attached, spray into the udder-thigh gap for approx. 3 seconds.

Repeat the application twice a day.

Checks in Udder-thigh gaps should only be performed with freshly washed hands or disposable gloves. Wash your hands thoroughly after the checks. This also reduces the risk of germ transmission to other udders and thus the provocation of mastitis in other animals.
