Repelling flies, naturally

As temperatures rise and fly populations increase, dairy farmers face a familiar challenge: protecting cattle from fly-borne diseases that can impact animal welfare, milk production and farm profitability.

Two of the most common seasonal threats are infectious bovine keratoconjunctivitis (pink eye) and summer mastitis, both of which are strongly associated with fly activity during the grazing season.

Garlic is a highly effective natural solution. The newly developed Garlic Zero Zero from Uniblock has all the power of garlic to reduce fly burden, with zero milk taint technology.

Turning feed into more milk

By improving rumen efficiency, garlic helps cows get more from the same ration.

Studies have shown that garlic-based supplementation can increase milk yield, improve energy utilisation and improve overall production efficiency.

The mechanism is simple: there is less energy lost as methane and more directed into milk, which means more milk from the same feed input

Additional benefits of Garlic supplementation

  • Reduced fly burden
  • Less risk of bluetongue
  • Lower stress levels
  • Improved grazing behaviour

These factors can contribute to more consistent intakes and overall performance, particularly during challenging grazing periods.

Removing the barrier: zero milk taint

 

With zero milk taint technology, all the benefits of garlic can now be achieved without compromise.

  • Capture the performance and health benefits of garlic
  • Maintain milk quality and processor acceptance
  • Use garlic confidently at effective levels

Zero taint, Zero Issues.
