Bou-Matic Introduces
Milk Coolers
MADISON, Wis.—Bou-Matic
introduces the Dari-Kool Glacier
series milk coolers.
Drawing on its 40 years of
expertise, Bou-Matic has re
engineered the Glacier series milk
coolers to make them sturdy, reli
able, and technologically ad
vanced.
John Biv.ezinski, Dari-Kool
product manager, said “Over the
years, experience and technology
led us to the design changes that
have improved the Dari-Kool line.
This is reflected in the new Gla
cier series.”
Bou-Matic has thickened up the
evaporator plates so they can
withstand up to 25 times a milk
cooler’s normal operating pres
sure. And it has added stronger
internal components to support
the milk cooler even under the
most extreme conditions.
With an improved cooling sys
tem, the Glacier series guarantees
Producers To Benefit
From Ear Tag Registration
MUNDELEIN. 111. This
spring, farmers and ranchers will
benefit from the availability of a
new advancement in insecticide
ear tags designed to decrease hom
fly resistance and negate the need
for ear tag rotation each season.
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) recently approved
registration for Double Barrel™
Insecticide Ear Tags, to be fnar
keted by Mallinckrodt Veterinary,
Inc. for the upcoming season.
“A study recently published by
scientists at New Mexico State
University supports the efficacy of
a. mixture of the synthetic pyrc
throid and organophosphate in
secticide classes in controlling
hom flies on beef and non-lactat
ing dairy cattle and calves,” said
Jeff Meyer, Ph.D., director of
parasiticide development at Mal
linckrodt Veterinary, Inc.
The unique combination of in
secticides in Double Barrel In
secticide Ear Tags reduces the
likelihood that hom flies will de
velop resistance to a single class
of insecticide.
“Cattle producers no longer
need to worry about which class of
insecticide ear tag they used the
