I must admit I’m quite tempted to do the same. Rough maths puts my sealant bill at 6500l …..We've gradually shifted from A/B everything at drying off to 5% A/B (SCC over 200 only) and everything else teat sealant over a 3 year period. Only really started using the teat sealant to stop losing quarters in dry cows late summer due to flies. Previous year had 5-6 cows with summer mastitis and last year with teat sealant didn't lose any. Didn't notice any difference last year from cutting out A/B so just started using teat sealant instead.
I'm thinking this year just using teat sealant when flies are a problem and only other treatment A/B tubes over 200 SCC.
