Cepralock
PLEASE NOTE: A prescription issued by a UK registered vet (MRCVS) is required before this item can be dispatched.
Cepralock is an intramammary teat sealant designed to prevent new intramammary infections during the dry period in dairy cows. It acts as a physical barrier, sealing the teat canal and providing protection against bacteria entering the udder. Unlike antibiotic treatments, Cepralock is antibiotic-free, making it an excellent option for farmers seeking to prevent mastitis without contributing to antibiotic resistance. Cepralock helps ensure cows remain mastitis-free during the critical dry period, promoting udder health and safeguarding milk quality for the next lactation.
Key Features:
- Non-Antibiotic Teat Sealant: Contains bismuth subnitrate, a natural mineral that forms a physical barrier in the teat canal, preventing bacteria from entering the udder.
- Prevents New Infections: Cepralock effectively seals the teat, reducing the risk of new intramammary infections during the dry period, especially from environmental bacteria.
- No Antibiotic Residue: As a non-antibiotic product, Cepralock ensures no antibiotic residues in milk, making it safe for the next lactation without extended withdrawal times.
- Easy to Administer: Comes in convenient intramammary syringes for straightforward and hygienic application at drying off, minimizing stress for both the cow and the farmer.
- Promotes Udder Health: By protecting against infections during the dry period, Cepralock helps improve udder health, ensuring better milk quality and production in the next lactation cycle.
Benefits:
- Mastitis Prevention: Cepralock’s teat-sealing action provides excellent protection against new infections during the dry period, helping to reduce the incidence of clinical and subclinical mastitis.
- Improves Milk Quality: Preventing infections during the dry period ensures lower somatic cell counts (SCC), leading to higher-quality milk in the subsequent lactation.
- Supports Antibiotic Stewardship: As an antibiotic-free solution, Cepralock aligns with responsible farming practices, reducing the reliance on antibiotics and helping to combat antibiotic resistance.
- Safe for Pregnant Cows: Suitable for use in pregnant cows, Cepralock helps protect udder health without the need for antibiotic treatments, ensuring safe and residue-free milk production.
- Reduces Treatment Costs: By preventing mastitis, Cepralock helps reduce the need for costly antibiotic treatments and veterinary interventions after calving, promoting cost-effective herd management.
Dosage & Administration
Infuse the content of one syringe of the product into each udder quarter immediately after the last milking of the lactation (at drying off).

Care must be taken not to introduce pathogens into the teat in order to reduce the risk of post-infusion mastitis (aseptic technique).
