ZorbiSan Plus Bedding ConditionerA clean base for clean results

Stoppages in milk production caused by hygieneproblems can be expensive. Bacteria spread diseasein all places where there is damp. Cows lying incubicles are particularly at risk since their uddersare in contact with the bedding or floor surface.Hygiene risks cannot be reliably overcome throughorganic bedding or normal bedding treatmentalone.

Experts therefore use ZorbiSan Plus, with theadded benefit of cutting the time involved inpre-milking udder preparation and in housingmanagement.

Effective elimination of hygiene risks ZorbiSan Plus is a natural bedding conditioner forprofessional housing hygiene management.The result: clean and dry lying and walking surfaceson which the animals are at ease. But the milker alsobenefits from ZorbiSan Plus, because clean animalsmean less work in pre-milking udder preparation. Andremoving old bedding and replacing it with new is alsoquick and simple.

Better atmosphere, better motivationBoth operator and animal feel more comfortable andwork more efficiently in an environment where there is less smell.

There are a number of different uses for ZorbiSan Plus There are a number of different uses for ZorbiSan Plus.It can be used both on mats and mattresses as well asin deep litter, calving or sick pens. It is also suitable forcalf hutches or pens and in out-of-parlour feed stations.ZorbiSan Plus is recommended not just for cows but also for calves, pigs, sheep, goats, hens, and horses.

Remove conditions that encourage mastitis ZorbiSan Plus is more than a bedding conditioner. Itsmain constituent, diatomite, a naturally-occurring, soft,chalk-like sedimentary rock, can absorb 160% of itsown weight in moisture. Whether mixed with organicbedding or on its own, it removes any opportunitybacteria might have to spread on the lying and walkingsurfaces. The risk of expensive cases of mastitis issignificantly reduced. This saves money, time, andtrouble.

Naturally from natureZorbiSan Plus is a purely natural product and is thuscompletely harmless for man, animals, and the environ-ment. ZorbiSan Plus also meets with the demands of organic farms. It can be applied in occupied stalls and has a positive impact on manure consistency. There is no effect on the animals’ breathing, and because the pH value of ZorbiSan Plus is very similar to that of the skin, it has a caring effect on the teat skin.

Less flies, better performanceFewer flies are found on clean, dry surfaces. ZorbiSanPlus stops the development of fly larvae and thus helpsto reduce the number of flies. The cows feel more

comfortable, and energy, which would otherwisebe used forcombatinginsects, can now be madeavailable for milk production.

• Optimised cubicle hygiene – dry, clean lying and walking surfaces at all times• Reduction in the amount of bacteria through

quick moisture removal: micro-organisms are deprived of their breeding grounds

• Clean cows – clean teats – clean milk• Prevention of the development of fly larvae –

leads to increased productivity• Improved atmosphere: operator and animal feel more comfortable and are more efficient• Reduced working time in pre-milking udder

preparation and in housing management• High water absorption capability: 160% without becoming soggy• Improves hoof health through quick drying of the hooves• Can be used with bio-gas systems
