The Dairy Prime program, developed by CID LINES (an Ecolab Company), is a comprehensive approach to improving udder health and farm performance through optimized hygiene and prevention strategies. Combining scientific research with practical on-farm application, it focuses on reducing mastitis risk through effective hygiene protocols during milking, including pre- and post-dipping practices and consistent milking routines. Supported by both in vitro and in vivo trials, Dairy Prime demonstrates that well-designed hygiene programs significantly reduce bacterial load and infection pressure. The program enables farmers and advisors  to move from reactive treatment to proactive, data-driven prevention, improving milk quality, animal welfare, and overall farm profitability.
