The Teatscrubber vastly improves tactile stimulation with more consistency to ensure the system will effectively stimulate every cow, no matter who is using it.

No, the Teatscrubber does the drying for you which allows you to eliminate the cost of towels, washing machines and dryers in most cases.

Generally, milkers are accustomed to the Teatscrubber within 2 weeks. They will gain muscle memory from using the Teatscrubber and quickly adapt. Milkers benefit from walking back and forth less, no heavy buckets of towels or trash to carry, and no aprons full of towels. Overall muscle activity is reduced when using Teatscrubber as compared to traditional prep. “If parlor production requirements (e.g., quality and consistency) are maintained while simultaneously reducing cumulative muscle loading and worker fatigue, then TS use should be considered in milking parlor operations.”

FutureCow helps improve Somatic Cell Counts by eliminating the organic material from the teats and using a highly effective disinfectant solution (chlorine dioxide) that kills most pathogens quickly, while improving teat end health and reducing hyperkeratosis.

A consistent prep routine, paired with our proprietary disinfectant solution, kills most mastitis causing pathogens greatly reducing incidents of mastitis.

The FutureCow Teatscrubber has revolutionized the traditional methods of teat end cleaning and the associated leadership responsibilities. Say goodbye to time-consuming towel routines, the need for constant retraining on proper teat end wipes, and concerns about bimodals and filter sock hygiene. With the cost-effective FutureCow Teatscrubber, existing facilities can be easily retrofitted, ensuring a consistent experience for both workers and cows.

To achieve optimal results, keep the following key points in mind:

·PPM & pH – Maintain PPM levels between 800 and 1200 and pH levels between 2.0 and 3.0 for the industry-standard chlorine dioxide solution, which offers 99.999% effective killing power. Verify proper mixing by checking for a green/yellow color.

·Clean Brushes – After prepping each line of cows or every 10 cows in a rotary, spray out the brushes using a parlor drop hose and FutureCow chlorine dioxide. This enhances the sanitation process by removing organic matter from the brush bristles and axles.

·Tail Hair – Regularly remove tail hair to ensure optimal bristle stiffness for effective cleaning.

·Prep Routine –

o Contact Time – To achieve the best letdowns, ensure the brushes physically touch each cow for a minimum of 8 to 10 seconds. More contact time leads to higher stimulation and readiness for milking, improving teat end health.

oPrep Lag Time – Allow 90 to 120 seconds of prep lag time, starting from the initial contact until unit attachment, to optimize milk harvest.

·Drying –Attaching a milking unit to wet teats negatively impacts cow health and milk quality. The FutureCow system includes a quick "up and down" scrubbing motion for the drying step, with the timing adjusted for each cow.

·Sanitizing –The evaporation process during the 90 to 120 seconds between scrubbing and unit attachment is like using an alcohol wipe before receiving a shot at the doctor's office. This is a beneficial effect, and adding emollients, surfactants, or other conditioners to the chlorine dioxide solution may slow down drying or sanitation.

The FutureCow Teatscrubber combines affordability and hybrid technology, akin to robotic systems. It provides an ideal solution for farmers seeking an easier and more consistent method of teat end cleaning. No longer will you need to hold the parlor team accountable for proper teat end wipes or deal with resistance to towel routine expectations. With the FutureCow Teatscrubber, you can have the best of both worlds.
