Q & A with Dr. Geoff Westfall...

Q: Does Fight Bac’s active ingredient, chlorhexidine, work as well as iodine?
A: Chlorhexidine actually works better than iodine, for several reasons. It kills mastitis-causing pathogens faster than iodine and is shown to be more persistent (longer lasting) than iodine too. Chlorhexidine is much gentler on the skin, and is also routinely used in human healthcare and dental settings, so you can feel confident in its safety and effectiveness.

Fight Bac is also very economical to use because waste is eliminated, you get free shipping with every order, and quantity discounts are available. And don't forget that the lower SCCs you can get using Fight Bac will increase milk premiums and reduce mastitis treatment costs. Sold in boxes of 12, the cost is comparable to mid-priced teat dip with two cans of Fight Bac treating as many cows as one gallon of dip.

🐮 Why navel care deserves attention at calving
A newborn calf's navel is more than just the umbilical cord—it's an open pathway into the bloodstream. Without proper disinfection, bacteria can enter quickly and lead to infections that impact health, growth and even survival.

The good news? One of the biggest risk factors is also one of the easiest to control.

Disinfecting the navel immediately after birth can significantly reduce the risk of infection.

Did you know? Fight Bac’s antibacterial formula with chlorhexidine has been proven on-farm to be just as effective as 7% tincture of iodine for navel care. It also offers several practical advantages:
✔ Costs about $0.08 per navel compared to $1.10 or more for traditional navel dip
✔ One can treats approximately 150 navels
✔ Fast, convenient spray application—no dip cups, no gloves and less mess
✔ Chlorhexidine has become the preferred antibacterial for umbilical cord care in human hospitals because of its proven effectiveness

Strong calf health starts in the first moments of life. A simple step, like using Fight Bac to disinfect navels immediately after birth, can help protect calves from infection and give them a healthier start.

The pest that can turn a small wound into a serious animal health threat...

As more information emerges about the growing threat of New World screwworm, one message is becoming increasingly clear: early intervention is critical when it comes to cuts and wounds on cattle. Even small, untreated injuries can quickly become entry points for screwworm flies, leading to serious health complications if not addressed promptly.

That’s where Fight Bac can play an important role. While widely recognized as a post-milking teat disinfectant, this fast-acting antibacterial spray is also a practical tool for on-the-spot wound care. It’s safe, easy to apply, and extremely cost-effective (we’re talking pennies per treatment)—making it a convenient option for treating minor injuries before they escalate.

Keeping a can in your toolkit ensures you’re ready to act immediately. In situations like these, timely care isn’t just good practice—it’s essential for protecting animal health and preventing more serious issues down the line.

Fast response today can make a meaningful difference in herd health tomorrow.

USDA has confirmed the sample from a cattle ranch near La Pryor, Texas, is screwworm. A threat the U.S. hasn't faced for more than 60 years, NWS is not a disease or food safety concern for consumers.
