Post-milking iodine teat skin disinfectants: 3. Residues
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 June 2009
Summary
Teat dipping of lactating cows with either 1000 or 5000 mg available iodine/; (mg avI/;) solution and thoroughly washing and drying of the teats before sampling resulted in levels of 70 and 99 µg avI per quarter per milking respectively. Without any pre-milking udder preparation prior to sampling the levels of iodine recorded were 143 and 291 µg avI per quarter per milking respectively. Some systemic transfer of iodine from the teat skin to the milk was observed, but the bulk of iodine residue in milk was of direct teat skin origin.
