3X More Effective than Competitors
Powdered Frost Protectant – Serving dairyman for over 35 years
During the winter season and periods of cold weather the teat surface of dairy animals is subject to added exposure especially when liquid teat dips are employed after milking. The use of liquid teat dips in cold and windy conditions will cause chapping and freezing of the teat. For this reason a powdered product was developed which contained food grade ingredients and had both bacteriocidal and healing qualities.
The concept of a powdered formulation originated with two scientists following research on the bacteriocidal and healing properties of a herb, Comfrey. The active ingredients in Comfrey were identified and then duplicated in the powdered formulation from laboratory stocks. Various formulations were tested against three type bacteria; Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and the best formulation and carrier was determined. This product was also tested for healing properties. The original research required three years before a suitable product was determined. The formulation was tested in the field on dairy animals with excellent results. The active ingredients in the corn starch carrier will kill bacteria and accelerate cell proliferation of cuts and damaged teat surfaces. Two patents were awarded to the original formulation, U.S. patent 4,668,692 and Canada 1,303,506 for a powdered Germicide and Healing Composition containing Allantoin and Ascorbic Acid.
In the field the formulation has been tested using dairy cows from the “hospital” with clinical cases of mastitis. Liquid dips compared against the powdered formulation. Samples were taken from each teat before and after treatment by swabbing the teat with sterile cotton swabs and applying the swab to nutrient broth and then blood agar plates. There was a 79 percent reduction of bacteria for teats treated with the liquid dip and 90 percent reduction for the powder. The dry formulation is an excellent product that could be used not only during the cold months of the year but through all seasons. WinterSet is a new generation for the powdered formulation which has an additional bacteriodical agent in the compound. This product is very effect for treating teats of dairy animals during the cold-winter months.

Since we’ve been using WinterSet we have not lost a cow from frozen teats.
Been a dairyman of a herd of 300 for over 50 years and have been using WinterSet for the last 6+ years. We’re in a windy area, snow tends too blow a lot, we find that WinterSet helps protect the teats. 11 years ago we lost half our herd in a winter storm that blew one night. Their teats froze and we had to sell them. Since we’ve been using WinterSet we have not lost a cow from frozen teats. When applied it dry’s the teats, keeps them soft, helps heal teat that my have sore on them, just a good winter teat dip.
We’ve noticed before we started to use WinterSet, SCC would go up during the winter, since using WinterSet our SCC stays the same or goes down.

Grew up using this on the farm and when Dad past the business on to me, I’m still using the powder during the cold and heat. I’ve noticed they’ve improved it too over the years.

Local dealer here in cold Wisconsin recommended I try this after repeated problems with liquid teat dips that said they worked in winter. Well, the liquids did not work! The powdered tit dip has held up super well!

STOP using liquid dips!!!
Friend referred me to the product because I kept having issues with freezing. Definitely worth it!
Tom Nelson (verified owner) –
2 years and counting! I’ve tried other powder tit dips, but have found this one works the best. I’ve tried the big name liquid dips created for winter months but this one seems to do the trick. Haven’t had any issues with frostbite or chaffing since I first switched.
