MasterCAL Bedding Lime is a unique product specifically designed
for use as bedding material in livestock stalls. It is formulated to give
high levels of bacteria control whilst minimising the risk of inflammation
or burns that may be a problem with other treatments.

The blend of high purity limestone and hydrated lime will aid the
prevention of environmental mastitis by rapidly raising the pH level
in the stall up to 12.4 (depending on the dilution factor). At levels
greater than pH 10 bacterial growth is severely inhibited, affecting the
enzymes and causing the bacteria cell to denature.

Cost Factors

Labour Savings – A research study has shown that free-stall maintenance with a bedding lime requires about 38% less labour
(time) per month compared with most organic bedding materials. At today’s labour costs this will show considerable savings.
