What is Orbeseal used for?
In cattle, particularly dairy cows, Orbeseal is an essential product for preventing new intramammary infections throughout the dry period. This critical period requires special attention to avoid mastitis, and Orbeseal offers an effective solution by forming a physical barrier against pathogens. Thanks to its preventive action, farmers can ensure better herd health, which translates into quality milk production and reduced economic losses due to mastitis.
For cows considered free of sub-clinical mastitis, Orbeseal plays a crucial role in mastitis control and herd management at dry-off. Used under the expert advice of a veterinarian, this product helps maintain the health of your herd. Criteria for selecting cows for treatment are based on factors such as mastitis history, individual cell counts, and the results of sub-clinical mastitis tests or bacteriological sampling. This rigorous selection enables us to precisely target cows in need of extra protection, optimizing the product's efficacy.
One of the main benefits of Orbeseal is its ability to reduce the risk of intramammary infections. By creating a physical plug in the teat canal, it prevents the penetration of bacteria, providing continuous protection during the dry period. This physical barrier is essential to prevent infections during this period when cows are particularly vulnerable. As a result, farmers can expect a significant reduction in cases of clinical and sub-clinical mastitis at the start of the next lactation.
Orbeseal 's active ingredients mainly include heavy bismuth in sub-nitrate form. This component, in combination with other excipients, forms a dense, stable paste that adheres effectively to the teat canal, creating a reliable protective barrier. The stability and density of this paste are key features that guarantee lasting protection throughout the drying period.
Preventing sub-clinical mastitis is essential to ensure the quality of the milk produced and the overall health of the herd. Orbeseal fits perfectly into a proactive health management strategy, helping to minimize economic losses associated with mastitis and improve animal welfare. By avoiding infections, farmers can reduce the use of antibiotics, contributing to the fight against antimicrobial resistance, a major public health issue.
What's more, by using Orbeseal, farmers can anticipate a reduction in veterinary costs linked to mastitis treatment and the management of sick cows. Reducing intramammary infections also helps maintain higher levels of milk production and better quality, contributing to farm profitability.
We also offer Orbeseal syringes for 6 intramammary treatments, at the best price in our online pharmacy.
How to use Orbeseal
To use Orbeseal, administer the contents of one applicator to each quarter immediately after the last milking (drying off). Make sure the teat is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with 70° alcohol or antiseptic pre-impregnated towels, and allow to dry before administration.
It is essential to proceed aseptically, avoiding contamination of the applicator tip. After infusion, apply a dip or spray to ensure continuous protection. These steps are crucial to guaranteeing the product's efficacy and avoiding any accidental introduction of bacteria during application.

Precautions for use
The drug must not be administered during lactation. If Orbeseal is inadvertently administered to a lactating cow, remove the cap by hand-milking the quarter; a slight transient increase in cell count may be observed. No further precautions are necessary.
As the product is not absorbed by the mammary gland, it can be used in pregnant cows. At calving, the plug can be safely ingested by the calf, with no undesirable side effects. This safety of use is particularly important for farmers concerned about the health of their animals and the quality of the milk they produce.
