Case Studies

Richard Pilkington – Shordley Hall Farm, Wrexham
Richard has been using Cubicle Care with his renowned “Aintree” herd of over 200 Holstein cows for a number of years. Unhappy with instances of mastitis Richard switched to Cubicle Care and the benefits were apparent almost from the first application; “Using Cubicle Care made an immediate impact on the health of the herd. Within a week mastitis and high cell counts were coming under control – now they are virtually a thing of the past”.

Richard is also very happy with the service he gets from Bolshaws; “When I place an order it is delivered very quickly. We have tote bags and the hydrated lime is always in excellent condition; the weather proof packing means that we can order in large quantities to achieve excellent cost benefits.”

Stuart Roberts – Park Hall Farm, Tarporley
With a herd of over 250 cows to manage livestock health is at the top of the agenda at Park Hall Farm. Stuart Roberts has used Cubicle Care for many years and is delighted with the results. “There isn’t a better value for money hydrated lime product on the market. It crucially helps to protect the milk yields and has virtually eliminated cases of mastitis.”

The hydrated lime is added every day to the back of the cubicle beds; absorbing moisture bacteria is killed in the process. The longer periods of warmer and wetter weather that are now a firm feature of the British climate make the regular use of Cubicle Care even more important.
