- Dip each teat with approved teat dip covering at least 3/4 of the entire teat.
- Clean teats with 3-4 vertical hand motions, then use the thumb and first finger in 2-3 horizontal motions across the teat end to remove debris. Strip 2-3 squirts from each teat end to remove foremilk and check for clinical mastitis.
- Walk away and allow > 30 seconds of contact time, then dry teats with a single use towel and continue with proper milking procedures.
