ENERGY AND TIME SAVING TIPS
1.
Pasteurize the colostrum as quickly as possible after collection. This will prevent the excessive growth of bacteria in
the colostrum and also take advantage of the heat to improve energy efficiency.
2.
Avoid placing the unit in an area of high drafts to prevent convection heat losses while pasteurizing.
3.
Colostrum can be stored in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours if it is handled cleanly once it has been pasteurized.
Filling Perfect Udder® Colostrum management bags allows for a disposable system that makes it easy to keep track
of dates and colostrum quality. These bags also allow the product to be warmed more quickly when they are
needed for the newborn and can then be fed without recontamination of the product. Order more bags from your
local veterinary supply dealer or online at www.perfectudder.com
4.
Do not try to use plastic calf bottles in Matilda®. It is impossible to transfer heat across the thick plastic to ensure
adequate pasteurization.
5.
Always wear nitrile or latex gloves when handling the colostrum to prevent the spread of pathogens from your skin
surface.
6.
Keep the lids closed on Matilda® when not in use. This will keep the heat inside and also prevent contamination
with dirt and insects.
7.
Water quality is very important. The heating elements will be inefficient if deposits begin to build up and they will
also experience early failure. If signs of poor water quality exist, we recommend a filter and water softener
combination (part no. K-WaterFiltration-System) available at www.dairytechinc.com
8.
Matilda® can be turned off during non-busy times to conserve energy.
