Product Details

R022 - Lact-8™

Evans Vanodine Lact-8™ is a ready-to-use barrier-film teat disinfectant designed specifically for post-milking dairy hygiene. Its dual-biocide formulation combines chlorhexidine gluconate and lactic acid to provide effective bactericidal action against organisms associated with mastitis.

The product forms a durable and flexible barrier film over the teat, helping to provide longer contact time after application. Its bright pink colour makes coverage highly visible, helping operators identify which teats have been treated.

Lact-8™ also contains 10% glycerol and allantoin, providing emollient and skin-conditioning properties that help soothe and soften teat skin and reduce cracks and crevices where bacteria can multiply.

Supplied ready to use, Lact-8™ requires no dilution and is designed for application by teat dipping immediately after milking. It passes the EN 1656 European disinfectant test against bacteria and is available in 25L and 200L containers.

Ensure any remaining Lact-8™ is removed and teats are cleaned before the next milking.

Professional Teat Dips & Dairy Udder Hygiene

Effective teat hygiene is an important part of good dairy management and can help reduce bacterial contamination around the teat before and after milking.

Astral Hygiene supplies a comprehensive range of professional teat dips and sprays for pre-milking and post-milking applications.

Our range includes products based on iodine, PVP-iodine, chlorhexidine and lactic acid technologies, alongside specialist barrier-film formulations designed to provide extended coverage between milkings.

Pre-milking products are designed to clean and disinfect teats before cluster attachment, while post-milking products help maintain teat hygiene immediately after milking.

Many formulations also contain conditioning ingredients such as glycerol, sorbitol or allantoin, helping support teat skin condition alongside routine disinfection.

Whether your dairy operation uses dipping, spraying or foaming, Astral Hygiene stocks professional teat-care products suitable for a range of milking systems and herd-management programmes.

Pre-Milking, Post-Milking & Barrier Teat Care

Different dairy operations require different teat-care systems depending on milking routine, herd requirements and application method.

Pre-milking teat disinfectants are used before milking to help reduce surface contamination and prepare the teat for hygienic cluster attachment. Products such as Pre-Dip are formulated specifically for fast pre-milking application.

Post-milking teat dips and sprays are designed for application immediately after milking. Products such as Masodine RTU, Four Seasons Masodip and Lact-8 provide ready-to-use options for post-milking teat hygiene.

For dairies requiring longer-lasting coverage, barrier-film teat dips such as Masofilm and Lact-8 form a visible protective film over the teat after milking.

The range also includes concentrated products such as Pro-Tec 1:3, Masodine Concentrate and Sapphire Concentrate, providing economical options for higher-volume dairy operations.

By offering both ready-to-use and concentrated formulations, Astral Hygiene provides flexible professional teat-care solutions for conventional and modern dairy operations.
