Summary

Use of an iodine teat dip containing 5000 mg available iodine/l (mg avI/l) resulted in a significant reduction in the number of new Staphylococcus aureus infections in a lactating herd, while no significant reduction was found with a disinfectant containing only 1000 mg avI/l. When Streptococcus dysgalactiae was used as the challenge organism, the rate of new infection was extremely low, and no reduction in levels of new infection were found with either disinfectant. The pathogenicity of the Str. dysgalactiae strain was high, as 60 % of the quarters becoming infected produced clinical symptoms.
