Evans Four Seasons Masodip Teat Dip 25L
Evans Four Seasons Masodip is a ready-to-use chlorhexidine-based teat disinfectant and conditioner for post-milking dairy routines. This listing supplies one 25 litre container, identified by the manufacturer code R085KEV. It can be applied by dipping or spraying without dilution, providing a practical option where measuring and mixing a concentrate would be inconvenient.
The formulation contains 10% glycerol to support good teat condition and help keep the skin soft. Chlorhexidine gluconate provides the disinfectant component. The current manufacturer microbiological profile records performance against named bacteria and yeast under defined conditions, supporting its use within an organised dairy hygiene programme.
Apply Four Seasons Masodip immediately after milking, with complete coverage of every teat and clean application equipment. Farms comparing an iodine-based post-milking option can also review Masocare Extra. Each formulation has its own ingredients and directions, so select the product for the farm's established routine.
Teat treatment and milking-plant cleaning are separate jobs within that routine. A dedicated product such as Vanorinse dairy pipeline cleaner is intended for its specified equipment-cleaning applications. Keep the products and their instructions distinct, and retain the current container labels and technical documents for staff reference.

Directions for Use
Prepare the product and equipment
Read the current container label and safety data sheet before use. Four Seasons Masodip is supplied ready to use and requires no dilution. Use suitable, clean dipping or spraying equipment and keep the application routine aligned with its post-milking purpose. Do not substitute the preparation instructions of a concentrated teat disinfectant.
Apply by teat dipping
Fill the teat cup about two-thirds full. Dip the teats of every cow immediately after milking, ensuring the full length of each teat is immersed. Top up with fresh product as required. Empty and wash the cups after the milking session so they are ready for the next use.
Apply by teat spraying
Immediately after milking, spray the entire surface of each teat with the product. Ensure coverage is complete and follow the instructions for the chosen application equipment. Use the current product label for practical treatment requirements; the laboratory contact times in the specifications describe the test conditions.
Store and dispose of the product correctly
Keep the product in its original, tightly closed container in a cool, ventilated place and out of children's reach. Follow the safety data sheet for personal protection and incompatible materials. The product is harmful to aquatic life with long-lasting effects, so follow the stated disposal requirements and prevent uncontrolled release to watercourses.

FAQs
Does Four Seasons Masodip need diluting?
No. It is a ready-to-use product for its specified post-milking teat application. Use it as supplied and follow the current label. Adding water would change the formulation used in the intended treatment.
Is this an iodine-based teat disinfectant?
No. Four Seasons Masodip uses chlorhexidine gluconate and contains 10% glycerol for skin conditioning. It is a different formulation from iodophor products such as Masocare Extra, so use the documents supplied for the exact product.
Can it be applied by either dipping or spraying?
Yes. The manufacturer gives directions for both methods immediately after milking. Dipping should immerse the entire teat length, while spraying should cover the whole surface of every teat. Keep the equipment clean and use the method appropriate to the farm's routine.
What does the current microbiological profile show?
Edition 2, dated April 2026, records EN 1656 results against five bacteria and an EN 1657 result against Candida albicans. The listed tests use five minutes at 30°C with post-milking soiling conditions. These results support the stated efficacy under those conditions.
Does a five-minute laboratory result set every application step?
No. Laboratory methods define their own temperature, organisms and soiling conditions. Follow the current container label and manufacturer application directions for practical use, including the requirement to treat teats immediately after milking with complete coverage.
Which pack size is supplied here?
This listing is for a 25 litre container. The manufacturer's wider literature also describes larger packs, but those are not extra choices on this page. Check the listed pack and price before ordering and retain the original label during use.
