The present invention is directed to methods for applying bovine foot and hoof treatment compositions having two or more specific and complimentary antimicrobial components in a hoof bath just prior to use to work more effectively. These antimicrobial components may include antimicrobial inorganic salts of certain heavy metals, cationic agents, peroxides, aldehydes, fatty acids, iodines or other suitable compounds effective in the killing of microorganisms.

Hoof bath system

The novel antimicrobial composition is disclosed including from about 60 to 95% of a lipophilic polar solvent such as propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, or isopropanol and from about 0.5 to 5% of a mixture of Cto Cfatty acids. Other constituents of the present invention may include water, an alcohol (such as ethanol or propanol) or a mixture thereof. Also disclosed is a novel method of killing harmful microbes on the udder of a milk-producing animal using the above-mentioned composition.

Fatty acid antimicrobial

A teat dip composition comprising from about 0.1% to about 2% iodine by weight of the composition on a formulation basis and form about 45% to about 99.9% propylene glycol by weight of the composition on a formulation basis, and a method of using such composition to treat mastitis.

Iodine-propylene glycol teat dip

A teat dip composition comprising from about 0.1% to about 2% iodine by weight of the composition on a formulation basis and from about 50% to about 99.9% propylene glycol by weight of the composition on a formulation basis, and a method of using such composition to treat mastitis.

A novel antimicrobial composition is disclosed including from about 60 to 95% of a lipophilic polar solvent such as propylene glycol, ethylene glycol, glycerol, or isopropanol and from about 0.5 to 5% of a mixture of C to C fatty acids. Other constituents of the present invention may include water, an alcohol (such as ethanol or propanol) or a mixture thereof. Also disclosed is a novel method of killing harmful microbes on the udder of a milk-producing animal using the above-mentioned composition.
