Robert is known for being a people person who offers great advice and common sense at times when farmers are under stress or pressure, this is the ETHOS on which he started AFS to offer unique products and advice.
AFS has launched it's Synogen Dairy Hygiene range to the Irish Market supported by it's team of Telesales experts and unique marketing in the Irish Farmers Journal. In November 2010 we started on the development of a unique disinfectant system for a brand new range of udder hygiene products. Using a blend of highly specialist non-toxic pharmaceutical grade biocides developed specifically for the food industry, the objectives were to produce the first ever range of products that would give both residual bactericidal activity between milkings and a uniquely high level of skin condition. These exclusive disinfectants are extremely gentle, highly stable and adhere very well to skin. The main feature is that unlike any other current product there is no disinfectant evaporation when applied, hence the residual bactericidal protection.
Combining a balanced level of biocides with skin grade detergents and a high Lanolin based emollient content, means that there is almost no potential for skin irritancy. The products therefore deliver superb skin condition. In order to better demonstrate the disinfectant performance of the products, in 2011 we commissioned some tests using the European Normal (CEN) test, these tests have been used by the disinfectant industry for over 20 years and are recognised worldwide as the industry standard. The tests are always performed by an independent accredited laboratory. We were pleased to learn that our products performed very well, achieving a 99.999% kill under high level soiling conditions.
Over a twelve month period we have trialled these products extensively all over the UK in all conditions using every conceivable method of application and carefully monitored the results. It gives us great pleasure to confirm that these products have if anything exceeded our expectations.
