Chlorhexidine Teat Dip 5% - 1/2 Gallon

Chlorhexidine diacetate 5% concentrate to be used as a teat dip to control the spread of mastitis. Use in preparation of a 0.5% solution for dipping. Teat dipping should start 1 week before the cow freshens. During lactation, dip
each teat into the 0.5% solution immediately after the cow is milked. When the cow is dried off, the teats should continue to be dipped in the solution once a day for 3 to 4 days. Dip each teat so that the lower 1 inch of the teat has been covered with the solution. Udder and teats of the cow should be thoroughly washed before milking. If minor irritation or chapping of the teats should occur during lactation, it is often helpful to dilute the 0.5% solution half and half with clean water for a couple of days and then gradually return to use of the 0.5% solution.
CAUTION: May be irritating to eyes or mucous membranes. May be harmful if swallowed. Avoid contamination of feed or feedstuffs. If in contact, flush thoroughly with water. Rinse empty container with water and discard.
