Control of bovine mastitis

Claim 3

The method according to claim 1, wherein said cyanurate is powdered sodium dichloroisocyanurate and it is compounded with an amount of powdered carbon dioxide-producing adjuvant such that said formulation disperses completely in water in 30 seconds or less.

Claim 4

The method according to claim 2, wherein said carbon dioxide-producing adjuvant comprises sodium bicarbonate and monobasic sodium phosphate, and said teat dip contains an emollient selected from the group consisting of sorbitol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and mixtures thereof.

Claim 5

The method according to claim 3, wherein said teat dip has a pH of 6.0 to 7.2 and contains about 5,000 ppm titratable chlorine.

Claim 6

A method according to claim 2 wherein the individual dosage units of 3,000 to 7,000 ppm titratable chlorine are separately packaged in sealed, relatively moisture- and gas-impermeable packages prior to said mixing with water.

Claim 7

A powdered, water-dispersible, effervescent formulation consisting essentially of 18 to 36 weight percent powdered sodium dichloroisocyanurate, 5 to 40 weight percent sodium sulfate, 0.5 to 2 weight percent liquid chlorinated paraffin with a chlorine content of about 40 weight percent, 5 to 15 weight percent polyvinylpyrrolidone, and 5 to 15 weight percent sorbitol, and 30 to 50 weight pecent of a mixture of 75 to 85 weight percent monobasic sodium phosphate and 15 to 25 weight percent of sodium bicarbonate, 30 grams of said formulation dispersing rapidly in one liter of water at 22° C. with vigorous shaking in 30 seconds or less to produce an aqueous dispersion containing about 5,000 ppm titratable chlorine and having a pH of 6.0 to 6.2.

Claim 8

A powdered, water-dispersible, effervescent formulation consisting essentially of 18 to 36 weight percent powdered sodium dichloroisocyanurate, 5 to 40 weight percent sodium sulfate, 0.5 to 2 weight percent liquid chlorinated paraffin with a chlorine content of about 40 weight percent, 5 to 15 weight percent polyvinylpyrrolidone, and 5 to 15 weight percent sorbitol, and 30 to 50 weight pecent of a mixture of 75 to 85 weight percent monobasic sodium phosphate and 15 to 25 weight percent of sodium bicarbonate, 30 grams of said formulation dispersing rapidly in one liter of water at 22° C. with vigorous shaking in 30 seconds or less to produce an aqueous dispersion containing about 5,000 ppm titratable chlorine and having a pH of 6.0 to 6.2.

Claim 9

A teat dip comprising the formulation of claim 6 dispersed in water to form an aqueous dispersion containing about 5,000 ppm titratable chlorine.

Claim 10

An individually enclosed packaged, pre-measured amount of powder containing 3,000-7,000 ppm titratable chlorine when mixed with water to form a teat dip, said pre-measured amount comprising a powdered, water-dispersible formulation comprising powdered chlorinated cyanurate, powdered carbon dioxide-producing adjuvant, 0 to 5 weight percent liquid chlorinated paraffin, and an emollient amount of at least one emollient selected from the group consisting of sorbitol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and mixtures thereof; 30 grams of said formulation dispersing rapidly in one liter of water at 22° C. in 30 seconds or less to produce a slightly acid to neutral aqueous dispersion containing about 3,000 to 7,000 ppm titratable chlorine.

Claim 11

An individually enclosed packaged, pre-measured amount of powder containing 3,000-7,000 ppm titratable chlorine when mixed with water to form a teat dip, said pre-measured amount comprising a powdered, water-dispersible formulation comprising powdered chlorinated cyanurate, powdered carbon dioxide-producing adjuvant, 0 to 5 weight percent liquid chlorinated paraffin, and an emollient amount of at least one emollient selected from the group consisting of sorbitol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, and mixtures thereof; 30 grams of said formulation dispersing rapidly in one liter of water at 22° C. in 30 seconds or less to produce a slightly acid to neutral aqueous dispersion containing about 3,000 to 7,000 ppm titratable chlorine.

Claim 12

The powdered formulation of claim 8 comprising 15 to 40 weight percent powdered sodium dichloroisocyanurate, 15 to 50 weight percent carbon dioxide-producing adjuvant, 0.1 to 5 weight percent liquid chlorinated paraffin containing about 30 to 60 weight percent chlorine, 5 to 15 weight percent polyvinylpyrrolidone, and 5 to 15 weight percent sorbitol.
