Chlorhexidine based udder wash

Straight ACV as an udder wash will clear that up too.

Good to know. I always have ACV in the cupboard.

Hi there!


I am getting ready for our new goats next month and wanted to make sure I have everything set up. I have a BUNCH of chlorahexadine from our English Bulldog's wrinkle cleaning solution we make.

What would the ratio be for a udder wash? Can you fill it in a spray bottle instead of mixing a whole gallon each time? Would love to know how you're using it. Thanks!

I'm also thinking about getting gentle iodine spray instead of a teat dip for the goats...

we saved a plastic ice cream container that holds about 5 quarts. We mix 2 oz of chlorhexidine to 1 gallon of water. The bucket stays in the milking area and gets used for udder wash and teat dip (and other general cleanup application). In the winter, we bring it in the house to prevent freezing.

Thanks Sawfish!!

I will try this method and see how it works!
