Teat pack material for lactating livestock, kit for forming teat pack for lactating livestock, and method for preventing mastitis in lactating livestock

Abstract

A teat protective pack material for coating teats of lactating livestock to prevent mastitis is disclosed, the teat protective pack material including a polymer latex and a coagulant for coagulating the polymer latex to form a film. The teat protective pack material optionally includes a surfactant, a mold-releasing agent, a water-soluble polymer, water and/or a water-soluble solvent, an antifreezing agent, etc. if required. The teat protective pack material, may have excellent adhesiveness, elasticity, abrasion resistance, durability, aging resistance, oil resistance, weatherability, breast shape followability, etc. The teat protective pack material may be capable of immediately coating the whole teat and thus preventing adhesion of teat packs adjacent to each other, and, when milking again or in case of emergency, may be able to be quickly removed without using any additional facility, material, etc.
