Abstract
An improved aqueous teat dip comprising iodine and chlorhexidine in an aqueous solution.
Claims104
A teat dip comprising:
- iodine and chlorhexidine salt,
- wherein the iodine comprises a mixture of sodium iodide and an iodophore;
- wherein the chlorhexidine salt is selected from one of chlorhexidine hydrochloride, chlorhexidine lactate, chlorhexidine phosphate, and chlorhexidine gluconate;
- wherein the iodine comprises about 0.1 to 5 weight percent of the teat dip;
- wherein the chlorhexidine salt comprises about 0.2 to 4 weight percent of the teat dip;
- wherein sodium iodide comprises between 10% and 100% of the iodine;
- and
- wherein the iodophore comprises the remaining iodine in the teat dip.

The teat dip of claim of 2, wherein the surfactant comprises from about 3 from about 15 weight percent.
An aqueous teat dip comprising;
- iodine, chlorhexidine salt and a surfactant,
- wherein the iodine comprises a mixture of sodium iodide and an iodophore;
- wherein the chlorhexidine salt is selected from one of chlorhexidine hydrochloride, chlorhexidine lactate, chlorhexidine phosphate, and chlorhexidine gluconate;
- wherein the iodine comprises about 0.1 to 5 weight percent of the teat dip;
- wherein the chlorhexidine salt comprises about 0.2 to 4 weight percent of the teat dip;
- wherein sodium iodide comprises between 10% and 100% of the iodine;
- and
- wherein the iodophore comprises the remaining iodine in the teat dip.
5 more elements
The aqueous teat dip of claim of 23 wherein the surfactant comprises from about 3 to about 15 weight percent.
An aqueous teat dip comprising:
- iodine, chlorhexidine gluconate, and a surfactant,
- wherein the iodine comprises a mixture of sodium iodide and an iodophore;
- wherein the iodine comprises about 0.5 weight percent of the teat dip;
- wherein the chlorhexidine gluconate comprises about 0.5 weight percent of the teat dip;
- wherein said sodium iodide comprises from about 10% to 100% of said iodine and said iodophore comprises the remaining iodine;
- wherein iodide comprises about 0.2% by weight in the teat dip solution;
- wherein sodium comprises about 0.15% by weight in teat dip solution;
- and
- wherein the iodophore is iodine complexed with a surfactant, said surfactant may be the aforementioned surfactant or a second surfactant.
6 more elements

- combining iodine and chlorhexidine salt;
- wherein the iodine comprises a mixture of an iodide salt and an iodophore;
- wherein the chlorhexidine salt is selected from chlorhexidine hydrochloride, chlorhexidine lactate, chlorhexidine gluconate, and chlorhexidine phosphate;
- wherein said iodide salt is sodium iodide;
- wherein the iodine is added in sufficient quantities to comprise about 0.1 to about 5 weight percent of the teat dip;
- wherein the chlorhexidine salt is added in sufficient quantities to comprise between 0.2% and 4% by weight of the teat dip;
- and
- wherein said iodide salt comprising from about 10% to 100% of said iodine and said iodophore comprising the remaining iodine.
