ABS Global and Ecolab expand partnership on udder health products

USA – ABS Global has become the exclusive channel partner of Ecolab’s 4XLA, UDDERgold 5-Star, and Aztec Gold. 

While ABS has successfully offered these products in the past, this transition to exclusivity reinforces Ecolab’s commitment to delivering best-in-class solutions and enhancing value to dairy producers. 

4XLA is a product proven to protect against mastitis-causing organisms. Iodine can take up to one full minute to kill mastitis-causing organisms on the teat; 4XLA kills in 15 seconds.

On top of that, its original chlorine dioxide formulation, including glycerin, makes it one of the premier teat-conditioning pre- and post-dips on the market.

This great skin conditioner is proven to control environmental and contagious organisms and is highly effective against contagious ones.

4XLA is the product you can trust to attack pathogens while also replenishing the cow’s natural defense that is removed during milking. 

“We are excited to strengthen our relationship with Ecolab and to continue providing dairy farmers with these premium products,” said Bill Meulemans, ABS Global, UdderCare Team Leader.

“This product line is how we got started in bringing udder health solutions to our customers. These products are time-tested with proven formulas that will help dairy producers achieve their milk quality goals.” 

UDDERgold 5-Star is proven to protect against both contagious and environmental pathogens. Its advanced barrier film provides extended germinal activity and improved efficiency compared to the original UDDERgold.

As a highly effective product against environmental pathogens, UDDERgold 5-Star is a great choice for challenging environments or for use with recycled manure or bedding packs.

This product maintains skin health with its combination of glycerin and lanolin, which helps moisturize teats. While UDDERgold 5-Star is tough on pathogens, removing the product in the parlor takes little effort and is not harsh on teat skin. 

Aztec Gold is a premium, germicidal teat dip designed to fight mastitis-causing organisms. It brings everything you expect from non-concentrates, but delivers better color than the 4XLA formula, an additional fatty acid germicide to provide residual kill, and the thickness of a barrier, but not a barrier teat dip.   

Choosing the right udder care products is critical to maintaining udder health. However, determining what product to use is not as simple as choosing one for the current season. 

The ABS UdderCare team wakes up and thinks about milk quality and production every day, so turn to them to help you develop an udder health plan.
