Calf Safe 5Lt Organic Sanitiser

KEEP YOUR CALVES SAFE?

Calf-Safe joins the important range of safe and meaningful antibacterial sanitiser/disinfectants to which Daviesway DASCO has long been committed.

It is a natural Australian-made biocide derived from 100% botanical extract, which is NASAA certified input for organic production.

Calf-Safe is rated to the strength of a hospital-grade disinfectant, and it is safe to use every day while calves remain in the pens. It is also a non-rinse sanitiser, so continues to have a bactericidal and fungicidal impact on hard surfaces until the loading exceeds the volume of Calf-Safe present.

It’s also safe to use on calf teats between groups, to spray on scouring calves to stop them re-ingesting bacteria, and to apply to all surfaces in the pen (and on calf feeders) to stop cross-contamination.

• Safe to use with calves in the pen
• Pleasant citrus smell Effective on all surfaces
• NASAA-certified input for organic production Biodegradable and residue-free
• Successful against a broad range of pathogens 5-year shelf life, if stored at room temperature & out of sunlight 
• Available in 1 & 5-litre containers

THE SCIENCE

Calf-Safe works by using a process of cell-wall intrusion, complexation of key cations and the disruption of protein functioning – which adversely affects cellular organisms such as bacteria, fungi and moulds, and non-cellular organisms like viruses.

With a pH of 3.5 (neat) and a 3.4% (1% solution) Calf-Safe is infinitely soluble in water. The clear, deep red/brown medium viscosity liquid has a five-year shelf life, if stored as directed.

Calf-Safe completes a full circle of definitive, organic, sanitising products at Daviesway DASCO, which protect your calves, your team and the environment.

TWO OTHER MUST-HAVES FOR YOUR CALF SHED SET-UP

STALOSAN^® F

Powerful organic powder for sanitising and drying bedding, with a low natural pH (below 4) that binds more than 70% ammonia and destroys/controls pathogens. Also ideal for sanitising boots between pens.

She recommends using Stalosan^® F and Calf-Safe in unison for bedding and hard surfaces in the calf shed for other day-to-day sanitising. Both can be used while calves are in the pen, but they are both also an effective post or pre-season clean.

Recommended best-practice for calf-shed hygiene set-up

• Remove old bedding from the calves’ sleeping area.
• Handwash solid walls, hay and grain feeders with Germidet (between groups of calves coming in).
• Dust Stalosan^® F on the floor (spread at 50g/m2 under bedding, using a hand-held kitchen sieve to sprinkle lightly). Note: Apply Stalosan^® F weekly (and safely spot-treat bedding) for maintenance. It can be safely applied on the top of bedding.
• Maintain bedding depth at 15cm.
• Spray all the walls, feeders (including misting the whole pen area) with Calf-Safe.
• Safe daily disinfectant for calf feeders, teats, walls, calves and hard surfaces in pens.
