Cracks and Fissures in Teats

Fast, safe healing for cracked, ulcerated and fistulous teats

Cracks, fissures, and ulcers on teats are common in dairy cows and buffaloes, especially during peak lactation, winter months, or in herds with poor milking hygiene. These painful lesions affect both the animal’s well-being and the farmer’s productivity.

Causes of Cracked or Fissured Teats:

  • Dry, chapped skin due to cold or harsh weather
  • IIncomplete drying after milking
  • Repeated mechanical trauma from machines or rough handling
  • Pre-existing skin infections or mastitis
  • Nutritional deficiencies affecting skin health

Why It Matters:

  • Pain during milking causes kicking, stress, and milk retention
  • Open wounds are entry points for bacterial infections, including mastitis
  • Leads to milk contamination, somatic cell count rise, and possible rejections
  • Can develop into chronic fistulas, requiring long recovery or culling

Preventive teat dips may help, but once cracks form, you need targeted healing support that’s safe for the udder and milk—without harmful antiseptics or withdrawal periods.

Field Success Story: From Painful Cracks to Smooth Recovery

“Our Sahiwal cow had cracks on both front teats after the winter started. She would kick during milking, and her production dropped. We began using Vet. TEATCURE-CRACK—both the oral drops and the spray. In 5 days, the cracks closed up. By day 7, she was milking calmly again. The spray was easy to use, and we didn’t have to throw away a single drop of milk.”

  • — Mahesh Rathod, Farmer, Jalgaon, Maharashtra

This case is one among many where farmers avoided antibiotics and kept milking on schedule with Cure Remedies' natural solutions.

Veterinarian Tips: Managing Teat Cracks the Right Way

Dr. R.K. Pillai, B.V.Sc. & A.H. – Udder Health Consultant
“Cracked teats may seem like a surface problem, but they’re often an early warning sign for deeper infections. Start Vet. TEATCURE-CRACK at the first sign of dryness or fissure to stop complications early. The dual mode—oral + spray—ensures fast and full healing without interrupting lactation.”

Best Usage Recommendations:

  • Oral Drops: 10 ml twice daily (morning & evening)
  • Spray: 8 puffs per teat, applied gently on clean, dry skin
  • Use for at least 5–7 days, continue longer for chronic or fistulous cases
  • Clean the teat with warm water before each spray
  • In severe cases, pair with Injur-Cure for internal tissue trauma relief

Prevention Tips:

  • Ensure proper post-milking drying of teats
  • Use mild, non-irritant antiseptic dips
  • Improve stall hygiene and bedding softness
  • Supplement with Liv-Cure or Calciphos-Cure to support skin and tissue health
