A Whole Herd's Milk Downgraded: A Ratchaburi Dairy Farm Recovers with the AIROFOG U260

Mastitis and milking-parlour germs cut milk prices, here is how to control them and restore quality

The milk-quality report that sank Mr. Boonma's heart

Boonma milks over 40 cows in Chom Bueng, Ratchaburi, delivering raw milk to the co-op each morning. One day the quality report showed somatic cell count (SCC) and bacteria above limits; the milk was downpriced on the spot, with a warning of rejection if it continued.

Back in the parlour, he looked at the milking units, milk lines, holding pen and the damp areas where cows gather twice a day, and realised the problem was not one cow but the germs building up in the parlour, on equipment surfaces and in the humid air, causing repeat mastitis and milk contamination.

Milk is the income; when milk is contaminated, income disappears

Animal health: mastitis hurts cows, lowers yield and forces rest or treatment, hitting both health and output.

Finance: high-SCC, high-bacteria milk is downpriced or rejected, cutting daily income and risking suspension.

Quality and trust: dairies and co-ops are strict on raw-milk quality; a farm that cannot control germs loses both price grade and long-term trust.

Why teat dips and floor washing are not enough

Teat dipping before and after milking treats only the teats, and hosing rinses dirt but does not kill germs on milking units, lines, pen rails, walls and the humid parlour air. Germs built up there recontaminate teats and milk at the next milking. Dairy farms need whole-parlour disinfection covering surfaces and air, not just reachable spots.

The milk-quality turning point: the AIROFOG U260 ULV fogger

Boonma uses the AIROFOG U260 to fog the parlour, holding pen and equipment before and after every milking. Its 15-30 micron mist coats every surface including rails, lines and corners and cuts germs in the humid air, breaking the cycle behind mastitis and contamination, used with a livestock-appropriate disinfectant. At 3.4 kg with a 5-litre tank he fogs the whole parlour fast between milkings, with six nozzle settings and a 50 cm trunk hose for under units and pen corners. SCC and bacteria returned within limits, milk earned full price and the co-op trusted his quality again.

10 reasons dairy farms choose the AIROFOG U260

Why modern dairy farms choose the AIROFOG U260 for the milking parlour:

1. 15-30 micron mist: coats every parlour surface and cuts germs in humid air that teat dips never reach.
2. Breaks the mastitis cycle: reduces germs on units and pens that recontaminate teats.
3. Helps control SCC and bacteria: lower parlour germ load supports raw-milk quality within limits.
4. Livestock disinfectants: use parlour-appropriate solutions per veterinary advice.
5. Reaches under units and pen corners: 50 cm trunk hose hits spots wiping misses.
6. Light 3.4 kg: fog the whole parlour solo between milkings.
7. 6 nozzle settings: tune output for parlour or holding pen.
8. Over 99.99% reduction: covers bacteria, viruses and fungi affecting milk quality.
9. World-class standards: WHO, TUV Rheinland and Thai certification.
10. Fast payback: restoring full milk price quickly covers the machine.

Since fogging the parlour with the U260 every milking, milk values are back within limits, mastitis is down and the co-op pays full price again. Truly worth it.
