Iodbarrier 0.25

Indications:

IODBARRIER 0.25 % is used as an antiseptic agent for the disinfection of the udder skin and teats after milking in order to prevent mastitis.

Composition of the veterinary drug:

The antiseptic solution contains:

 • 0.25% of active iodine

Biological activity:

Iodine has various antibacterial activities against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Salmonella spp., Proteus spp., Staphylococcus spp., Streptococcus spp., Micrococcus spp., Bacillus spp., Corynebacterium pyogenes, Enterobacter spp. and fungi.

The antiseptic effect of the product is due to the ability of active iodine to inhibit the metabolic processes of pathogens.  Penetrating into the protoplasm of cells, iodine reacts with amino groups of proteins, changing their composition and suppressing vital enzyme systems.  When iodine reacts with water, the protoplasm of the cells produces active oxygen, which has a strong oxidizing effect. The same destructive effect iodine reveals on mushrooms.

The antiseptic preparation forms the protective film on the surface of the udder skin and teats, which acts as a chemical defense against all types of bacteria and fungi.  After drying, the protective film is breathable and does not crack. The antiseptic effect of the drug is maintained until the protective film is removed (washed off).

The drug does not have a local irritant and sensitizing effect, and is classified as low-hazard substance.

Usage:
