of no difference.
The chlorine dioxide teat dip tested during this trial
compared favorably with other chlorous acid-chlorine
dioxide teat dips tested using experimental challenge
procedures. Boddie et al. (Boddie et al., 1998) evaluated
a chlorous acid-chlorine dioxide teat dip containing
0.98% phosphoric acid and 0.65% sodium chlorite. This
experimental dip reduced new Staph. aureus IMI by
91.5% and new Strep. agalactiae IMI by 71.7%. Drechsler et al. (1990) tested a chlorous acid-chlorine dioxide
teat dip containing 2.64% lactic acid and 0.64% sodium
chlorite using experimental exposure procedures
