Ultimate Teat Spray. For every extra part of emollient added to
an overall mixture a corresponding reduction in the water level must
be carried out to maintain sanitising ability i.e in an existing 1:9
formulation if adding 1 extra part emollient then the new formulation
would be 1 part FarmGuard Ultimate Teat Spray, 8 parts water & 1 part
emollient maintaining the overall 1:9 ratio. Chlorhexidine has good
