SUMMARY OF PEER-REVIEWED PUBLICATIONS ON EFFICACY OF PREMILKING AND POSTMILKING TEAT DISINFECTANTS PUBLISHED SINCE 1980 (Updated January, 2008)

摘要

The last comprehensive review on postmilking teat disinfection was published by Pankey et al. (1983 National Mastitis Council Proceedings pages 52-86 and the Journal of Dairy Science 67:1336-1353) over a decade ago. In 1988, an attempt was made to develop what was referred to as "teat dip fact sheets". However, due to various concerns this document was never published. Consequently, a mechanism to disseminate information on efficacy of teat disinfectants in a timely manner was never developed. This issue resurfaced during the 1994 National Mastitis Council Annual Meeting. A request was made that the NMC Research Committee develop a bibliography of teat disinfectants as a means of providing factual information on teat disinfectant efficacy that would be available to members of the dairy community and other interested individuals. A motion was approved unanimously that the NMC Research Committee Chairman appoint a subcommittee to undertake this project.
