CLINICAL TESTS prove that T-HEXX DRYEXTERNAL TEAT SEALANT improves heifermilk quality. Even though they have neverbeen milked, heifer teats begin to open twoweeks prior to calving. Many dairies do notuse the proper precautions when it comes totheir heifers.As a result, it is more common that a first calfheifer freshens with a mastitis infection. Paststudies have shown that 50% to 80% of the

heifers have a low, mid orclinical case ofmastitis atfreshening.

These infectionscould damage gland

development and futureproductivity. Using T-HEXXDRY EXTERNAL SEALANTcan help aid in the preventionof heifer infections, thus

increasing the future profitability ofthe herd.
