Drying off Milk

Like all Hippo Health products, this product comes with a money back guarantee for anyone not pleased with the results.

This remedy won’t cause any adverse effects, but the ingredients will only activate when they come into contact with a mucous membrane such as the tongue, gums or lips.

Adding 25mls (1oz) of remedy from our Jerry Can to a 500L (100-gallon) water trough every second day is enough to dose all of the animals that drink from that trough. With homeopathic remedies, the dilution ratio doesn’t have to be exact. The active ingredients disperse through the trough using the hydrogen particles in the water, so each animal gets a fresh dose every time they take a drink. Regardless of how much – or little – water is in the trough, the potency of the remedy will be the same. Adding our remedies to a water trough means a new dose is administered every time an animal takes a drink. The trough doesn't need to be emptied and refilled between doses as the sunlight destroys any residues after three days.

This varies between individual animals and depends on factors including current milk production, stage of lactation, and overall condition. Drying Off Milk supports the natural reduction of milk supply — it works with the cow's own physiology rather than forcing a rapid shut-down. Most farmers find it works best when started 1–2 weeks before the intended dry-off date and used consistently throughout the dry-off process.

Yes. Drying Off Milk is suitable for all lactating livestock including dairy cows, goats, ewes, and other farm animals. Dosing is the same across species. Refer to the Dosing tab above for full instructions.
