Dosage and Administration

Important: Do not mix IO-SHIELD^® with any other teat dip or other products. If transferred from the container to any other, make sure that other container is thoroughly pre-cleaned and bears the proper container labeling for IO-SHIELD^®.

Use a post-milking teat dip on each teat as an aid in a complete cow-care program to help reduce the spread of organisms which may cause mastitis.

Immediately after milking, use IO-SHIELD^® at full strength. Submerge entire teat in IO-SHIELD^® solution. Allow to air dry. Do not wipe. Always use fresh, full strength IO-SHIELD^®. If product in dip cup becomes visibly dirty, discard contents and replenish with undiluted product. Do not reuse or return unused product to the original container. Do not turn cows out in freezing weather until IO-SHIELD^® is completely dry.

Wash teats thoroughly just prior to next milking with appropriate udder wash solution or pre-milking teat dip. Teats should then be dried with a single-service towel. Use proper procedures for udder washing or pre-dipping.

Precaution(s): Transport and store between 40°F (4°C) and 100°F (37.8°C). Do not freeze. Product damaged if frozen. Product that has been frozen and thawed may appear watery with clumps of material and will not produce a uniform film on the teat.

Caution(s): IO-SHIELD^® is not intended to cure or help the healing of chapped or irritated teats. In case of teat irritation or chapping, have the condition examined and, if necessary, treated by a veterinarian.

Warning(s): For cautionary and first aid information, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
