Iodine Teat Dips

The effect of free iodine on the germicidal activity of iodine teat dipsForet C, Hemling TC MilkProduction.com December 12, 2002
"Iodine is the preferred germicide for a teat dip because of its desirable properties: broad spectrum of kill, excellent stability, mildness to skin, and no residue concern."
"Since the 1960's, iodine topical germicides have been used as teat dips for the prevention of mastitis in dairy cows. These products are typically iodophor solutions with the iodine complexed or solubilized by a nonionic surfactant. Early products typically contained 0.5% or 1% available iodine because lower level iodine products were not adequately stable. Products with lower levels of iodine were made available in the early 1980's when technology to provide proper stability was developed. Iodine is the active ingredient in 65-70% of the teat dips sold in the United States and 55-65% of teat dips sold globally."

"The trace element iodine is important in both human health and as a germicidal component of many pre-dip products. However, too much iodine in the human diet can lead to health problems. This article discusses how pre-dipping practices impact milk iodine content."
