Preventing dairy herd diseases with effective moisture control
Micro-organisms require moisture to survive.
By creating and maintaining a dry environment in the stable you limit the growth and spread of the pathogens causing diseases like coccidiosis and mastitis.
Different areas where you can apply drying powders
Bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi thrive in moisture. Drying powders are easy to use and play a vital role in protecting the health of your calves and cows.

Cow stalls
MS DryCare has a 200% absorption rate and is often used to help control moisture in the stalls. Simply apply MS DryCare to the stalls or mix it in with the bedding before spreading it.:format(webp))
Calving pens
A clean and dry environment ensures an optimal start for newborn calves. Newborn calves are highly susceptible to disease. Mix MS DryCare through the straw in the calving pens to reduce pathogens.:format(webp))
Calf pens & hutches
Young calves are still susceptible to disease. Controlling moisture in calf pens and hutches helps reduce the pressure of pathogens, including cryptosporidium. Mix MS DryCare through the straw in calf hutches and/or calf pens.:format(webp))
Boost biosecurity with active hygiene powders
MS DryCare Plus is an active disinfectant powder with very high moisture absorption (200%) and a pleasant smell. Bacteria, yeast, and viruses need moisture to survive, by reducing moisture and actively disinfecting, MS DryCare Plus reduces pathogen pressure in the barn.
Reduce mastitis with dry stalls
When the cows lay down on the bedding in the stalls, their udders can come in contact with wet spots containing bacteria. Those bacteria can be a source of infection, such as mastitis and other udder illnesses.
We've found that applying a drying powder in these areas helps to improve udder health.
