RWN Cubicle Bedding Powders
Cow comfort, cow health
and good hygiene are essential for efficient and profitable milk production in high yielding dairy herds.
RWN works with a number of highly effective tried and tested antiseptic cubicle bedding powders Hydramix and RWN Cubi-Powder, Ultra-Dri, Ultra-Dri Gold and Vulkamin.
All are suitable for use in cow cubicle housing, straw yards, dry cow housing and calf rearing accommodation. All these products have different modes of action and all are highly effective and competitively priced, non-caustic, safe, based on natural ingredients and are pleasant to handle.
Hygiene is Important for Cow Health, Performance and Profitability
Ultra-Dri Gold
Ultra-Dri Gold is an Absorbent, Dry Cubicle Disinfectant Powder which contains a fast acting, broad spectrum, DEFRA approved disinfectant.
This cubicle bedding powder effectively kills most pathogens within 5 minutes and continues working from day to day to provide effective control of bacteria on dairy cow cubicle beds and in general livestock housing.
This highly absorbent, drying Disinfectant Powder improves general hygiene of cubicles and bedded pens. Ultra-Dri Gold is non-caustic and doesn't dry or damage the cows skin.
Ultra-Dri Gold is our product of choice when faced with severe outbreaks of mastitis, very high somatic cell counts and other challenging situations. Ultra-Dri Gold contains a much higher concentration of disinfectant than our standard Ultra-Dri product.
Ultra-Dri Gold can be used for all classes of livestock including pigs, poultry, sheep, and horses. It can be used as a dairy cubicle bedding powder, on straw yards, in calving boxes and calf pens or in dry powder footbaths.
