MasPrep: The Non-Withdrawal Mastitis Solution Every Dairy Farmer Needs

Mastitis is one of the most common and costly issues in the dairy industry. When caught early, timely intervention can preserve milk production, protect udder health, and reduce the need for antibiotics. That’s where MasPrep, a non-withdrawal intramammary tube, comes in — offering effective support without the need to discard milk.

🌿 What Is MasPrep?

MasPrep is a non-antibiotic mastitis support product used during lactation. Unlike traditional treatments, it does not require a milk withdrawal period, making it an ideal option for mild or early-stage mastitis cases where continued milk production is a priority.

🧪 Key Features:

• Zero Milk Withholding: Safe for use in lactating cows — no wasted milk.

• Antibiotic-Free: Helps reduce antibiotic usage on farm while supporting udder health.

• Naturally Supports Recovery: Formulated to assist the cow’s immune response to early inflammation.

• Simple to Use: Delivered via an intramammary tube, just like traditional mastitis treatments.

🐄 When to Use It

MasPrep is ideal for:

• Early-stage or subclinical mastitis

• Post-freshening udder support

• Mild swelling or abnormal milk from a single quarter

• Cows showing no systemic illness (no fever, eating normally)

It can be used as a first line of defense, with follow-up evaluation to determine if further treatment is needed.

💡 Why Dairy Farmers Choose MasPrep

Producers using MasPrep have reported:

• No milk loss from treated cows

• Fewer antibiotic treatments over time

• Improved udder health and faster recovery in mild cases

• Compliance with residue-free milk programs

This makes it a valuable tool for farms focused on responsible treatment protocols and herd performance.

✅ Perfect for Progressive Dairies

As pressure grows to reduce antibiotic use and maintain residue-free milk supplies, MasPrep provides a practical, science-backed alternative for mastitis management. It aligns with modern herd health strategies and consumer expectations without sacrificing productivity.
