FIL Your Boots

Covering critical times of the season, FIL Your Boots covers a range of useful and interesting topics, from the difference between iodine vs. chlorhexidine teat sprays and reducing the use of antibiotics, to tips for treating bloat and where to look in the event of a grade.

Whether you’re milking the cows or driving the tractor, tune in as FIL chat with industry experts and local farmers to help provide information and different perspectives for boosting the performance of your herd.

Watch episodes...

Breaking down myths of mastitis-causing pathogens

In the first episode of FIL Your Boots, Colin May talks to Microbiologist and Farm Medix Founder Natasha Maguire about mastitis-causing pathogens.

What are the different types of pathogens? Where do they come from? Why should we be focusing on pathogens? Listen as Colin and Natasha discuss how identifying which pathogens you have in your herd can help you see better results in your herd and more milk in the vat.

Finishing the season off right with an effective dry off plan

With drying off coming up, we have Natasha Maguire on the podcast again to explain what makes a good dry off procedure, why teat condition is so important, and her thoughts on blanket versus selective dry cow therapy.

She also discusses how dairy farmers can manage low production or carry over cows better next season.

A farmer's perspective: managing mastitis

Walton farmer Tania Fernyhough joins the podcast, talking to Colin May about how they were able to take a more targeted approach to treating cows and what the results were.

Choosing the right teat spray

With so many teat sprays on the market, how do you select the right product for your farm? In this episode, Colin May & Natasha Maguire talk about the key differences between iodine and chlorhexidine teat sprays, and why farmers should consult with their teat spray supplier about emollient and active levels to get the best product for their individual challenge.
