    Postmilking teat antisepsis, particularly teat dipping, is crucial for controlling mastitis in dairy herds. This review details its history, efficacy, and best practices for safe and effective use.

    Area of Science:

    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Animal Science
    • Dairy Husbandry

    Background:

    • Mastitis remains a significant economic and animal welfare challenge in dairy production.
    • Effective postmilking teat hygiene is a cornerstone of mastitis control strategies.
    • Teat dipping has evolved as a primary method for reducing pathogen transmission after milking.

    Observation:

    • This review synthesizes the historical development and scientific evaluation of postmilking teat antisepsis.
    • It examines the general procedures, limitations, and potential hazards associated with teat dipping practices.
    • Current guidelines for generating efficacy data for teat dips are presented.

    Findings:

    • Various classes and formulations of teat dips have demonstrated varying levels of efficacy in controlled studies.
