Babson Introduces
Triple Conditioning
NAPERVILLE. 111. Teat
Kote 10/lII™, a post-milking teat
dip introduced by Babson Bros.
Co., combines an exclusive triple
emollient system with the strength
of a 1 percent iodine solution for
premium mastitis prevention.
While a high iodine content
(10,000 ppm) makes Teat Kote
10/111 an effective mastitis-fighter,
its triple emollient system de
creases the potential for chapping
and irritation. Unlike most post
dips that contain only one emol
lient, Teat Kote 10/111 uses a blend
of lanolin, glycerin and a special
film-forming agent to improve
mastitis protection. The thick for
mula coats teats to ensure maxi
mum coverage and helps create a
protective layer against bacteria
and weather.
“We took our very popular pro
duct, Teat Kote, and added special
emollients and thickening agents
in response to the needs of produc
ers battling either cold and windy
or arid conditions,” said Brian
Wilkins, marketing and business
development manager, Babson
Bros. Co. Chemical Division.
In university studies consistent
with National Mastitis Council
(NMC) protocols, Teat Kote
10/111 was proven highly effective
against the most prevalent masti
tis-causing bacteria, Streptococ
cus agalactiae and Staphylococ
cus aureus. Teat Kote 10/111 re
duced the number of new

equine values second only to dairy
cattle among all agricultural
commodities.
The industry positively contri
butes to the quality of life in Pen
nsylvania. For example, thou
sands of youth, families, and vol
unteers participate in organized
horse programs across the state.
Horses provide a powerful and sti
mulating tool for educating and
developing young people. HorSes
are also increasingly used to pro
vide therapy for persons with disa
bilities through therapeutic riding
and driving activities.
Total equine inventory in Pen
nsylvania, as of June 1.1990, was
170,000 head, valued at $620 mil
lion. The average value per head
was highest for warmbloods at
$12,140, followed by standard
breds at $lO,lOO, and thorough
breds at $9,400. Chester County,
led the slate in total equine value,
at more than $llO million.
The economic value of the
equine industry in Pennsylvania is
great. Total value of equine
related land, fencing, and facilities
was more than $2.9 billion in
1990, with an additional $370 mil
lion inventory of equine-related
equipment and supplies. Taxes
'paid by equine owners totaled
more than $l5 million.
Pennsylvania equine owners
made a total of approximately
$428 million in equine-related
expenditures in 1990. The largest
were for feed at more than $76
million and equipment at more
than $6l million. On average,
these owners spent $2,882 per ani
mal, including $465 for feed and
$402 for equipment. Approxi
mately 270,000 tons of hay were
purchased for equine use, with an
average of 1.6 tons per animal.
A total of 44,000 individuals,
partnerships, and others owned
equine animals in 1990, including

8.800 commercial operations used
primarily for breeding, boarding,
competition, and showing. This
commercial sector accounted for
more than 60 percent of equine
related expenditures. More than
5,000 or 60 percent were breeding
operations, with 20,400 brood
mares and 4,000 stallions.
Approximately 37,300 owners
kept their horses on owned,
rented, or leased land across the
commonwealth, with 520,000
acres set aside for equine use.
Approximately 6,300 owners
maintained their animals in a
boarding stable or other facility.
The majority of equine owners
in Pennsylvania used some 71,000
horses for pleasure or sport,
including pleasure riding, hunting,
trail riding, youth programs, and
other recreational activities.
About 43,400 equine animals
were used for work, teaching, or
other uses statewide, representing
25 percent of the total inventory.
This large number is attributed
primarily to the large Amish
population in the state.
The largest numbers of equine
animals were concentrated in the
southeast and southwest regions
of Pennsylvania. The southeast
had the highest population with
48.800 head, including Berks,
Bucks, Chester, Delaware. Lan
caster, Lebanon, Montgomery,
and Philadelphia counties. The
southwest, including Allegheny,
Fayette, Greene, Somerset,
Washington, and Westmoreland
counties, was second highest with
23,900. Adams, Bedford, Cum
berland, Franklin, Fulton and
York counties were third with
22,500.
The leading five counties in
equine numbers were Lancaster
with 17,300; Chester, 14,600;
Washington, 9,200; York, 7,800;
and Westmoreland, 5,700. The

breed with the highest number of
horses was the Quarter Horse with
27,700, followed by 18,200 stan
dardbreds, 17,400 draft breeds,
and 17,100 ponies.
Pennsylvania employed 7,500
paid residents on equine farms.
Labor services paid in non-cash
form, such as in exchange for rid
ing lessons totaled nearly $2 mil
lion. Although they were not
included in this survey, equine
related professionals such as
veterinarians, trainers, tack and
feed representatives, and other
equine support personnel com
prise many more employment
opportunities in Pennsylvania.
Ten percent of the state’s horse
owners receive 76 percent to 100
percent of their income from
equine activities. Most horse own
ers in Pennsylvania are in the
middle- to low-income category,
with nearly half reporting a total
gross income for household or
operation of $20,000 to $49,000
and IS percent making less than
$20,000. Only 26 percent of horse
owners made incomes over
$50,000.
The results of this project repre
sent a conservative estimate of the
magnitude of the economic impact
of die equine industry in Pennsyl
vania. Examination of the report
leaves no doubt that the industry is
important to the state’s econpmy,
providing employment, generat
ing tax dollars, and building
assets.
