Cubicle Care - Frequently Asked Questions

What is it?
Two types of hydrated lime blended together. As it’s coarser than builders lime it’s easier to apply, there is less dust and it stays on the beds.

It’s better for cows
When a cow’s teat comes into contact with Cubicle Care there are fewer particles per square mm as the particle size is larger than builders lime.

What does it do?
It helps control bacteria, mastitis and digital dermatitis. By adding Cubicle Care to the bed you can also increase slurry pH levels; this reduces the quantity of lime needed to spread on the land.

How is it used?
It can be mixed with sawdust or any other bedding material, applied to the bed and covered with straw or used on straw yards.

How much should be used?
We recommend 1/2 kilo per cubicle per day. Conditions can vary, but this means the daily cost of protecting each animal is just 10p!
