Membrame-forming veterinary antibacterial teat dip

A viscosity stabilized, aqueous, topically adherent, self-supporting film-forming veterinary antibacterial composition comprising:

• sodium lauryl sulfate in amount between about 4 to 8 weight percent of the total composition;
• lactic acid, a food grade salt thereof, or admixtures thereof in an amount between 0.01 to 10 weight percent of the total composition;
• a bactericidal food grade organic acid selected from benzoic acid, sorbic acid, citric acid, lower alkanoic acids, a food grade salt thereof, or admixtures thereof in an amount between 0.001 to 0.100 weight percent of the total composition;
• a film forming food grade pectin or gum in an amount between about 0.02 to 2.5 weight percent of the total composition;
• and
• a veterinarily acceptable water soluble emollient selected from short chain aliphatic polyols of up to six carbon atoms;
• having a viscosity stabilized between 80 to 160 cps at 25 degrees C. and forming a topically adherent flexible protective antibacterial barrier film which adheres to the animal until removed by water washing.
