TREATING MOLDY
SPOTS ON WALLS
Cool weather brings the usual
problem with green to black spots
on many walls. Many times
concrete block milkhouse walls
are a primary target.
The condensed moisture
stimulates the spreading mold
growth.
To stop the mold growth,
moisture condensation must be
prevented. Proper insulation of
all outside walls and ceilings is
necessary, as is a vapor barrier
Treatment is only temporary
and will not prevent the reoc
curance of the, mold. The two
common milk equipment
sanitizers are usually effective,
chlorine and quaternary am
monium compounds.
Chlorine solutions should be
applied at a strength of 500 ppm.
Since chlorine is quickly ab
sorbed by organic matter, it soon
becomes ineffective.
Quaternary ammonium
compounds are recommended for
floors, walls, and ceilings.
Solution strength should be
between 500 and 1,000 ppm. Soak
the surface completely, using a
spray gun or floor broom. After
scrubbing the surface, again
cover the area with solution and
do not rinse. A second treatment
may be necessary three to five
days later
Remember sanitizer treatment
will not prevent mold growth. It
only removes the visible
evidence. Prevention lies in
proper insulation of the walls and
good floor drainage
FREE-STALL DAIRY HOUSING
SYSTEMS GUIDELINE
PROPOSED
Proposed guidelines for dairy
cattle free-stall housing systems
were approved at a meeting of
the Northeast Dairy Practices
Committee. Seventy-five
representatives of dairy in
dustry, commercial, regulatory
and educational institutions from
11 northeast states prepared
these guidelines.
The guidelines have taken into
account the requirements of
various state and municipal
agencies. It is hoped that all farm
inspection agencies will approve
the guidelines. Then
requirements will be similar for
all northeast dairy farms. It will
be a big step toward uniformity
These dairy housing guidelines
are not more regulations. Rather,
they are intended to replace
regulations with uniform
recommendations agreed on by
all dairy industry interests.
The guidelines deal generally
with milking, feeding and resting
areas Specifically they cover
ventilation, drainage, layout, and
lighting and equipment for
feeding and milking
The housing guidelines will be
provided to all regulatory
agencies. If approved, they will
become available to all diary
fieldmen and allied industry
persons The free-stall housing
system guidelines should be in
the best interest of all northeast
dairy farmers. They shdtild
directly benefit all who plan to
build or remodel such systems.
