Cinnatube® is a natural, non-antibiotic intramammary teat sealant for dairy cows, designed to be used at dry-off. Its viscous paste formula mimics the cow’s natural keratin plug, creating a physical barrier that helps prevent bacteria from entering the udder via the teat canal—the primary cause of mastitis.
Research on Cinnatube®, Antibiotics, and Orbeseal®
USDA/SARE at North Carolina University Published in the Journal of Dairy Science
The Risk of New Infections for Each Treatment:
CIN
[Cinnatube®]
14 ± 7%
Conventional [Quartermaster with Orbeseal®]
23 ± 20%
“Cinnatube appeared to have a protective effect versus new infections compared with no treatment. Cinnatube, was also effective at preventing future infections, eliminating the risk of antibiotic residues in milk/meat and by lowering the contribution of the dairy industry to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.”
This research has been published, and subject to peer review, in the prestigious Journal of Dairy Science.
