Re: Chlorine Dioxide in the Dairy Biz

[Guest guest]

Well, Jim said it has been used for over 100 years in hospitals as a disinfectant. I'm sure that companies and people have been using it that whole time, too. We are not new, just the latest wave in MMS. :-) Or, as my Grandpa use to say "there's nothing new under the sun".

Samala,

Just got in from my "raw milk run". I'm asking my dairyman friend to see if

he can get me the best price on Sodium Chlorite. While explaining all about

it to him, he points to some jugs on a table. You ain't tellin me nuthin',

Do you know where he got this? I could use it with my goats, but I

haven't seen it from any of the suppliers that I use.

He belongs to a large dairy co-op and gets most of his supplies through

them, so it probably wouldn't be available to you and me that way. If I were

a small herd keeper/hobbyist, (does that describe you?) here's what I would

do...

I'd get sodium chlorite powder and citric acid powder. I'd mix sodium

chlorite to a 13% solution instead of 26%. I'd mix citric acid to 10%. I'd

add maybe some aloe vera liquid to it and use it like that, or rub " bag

balm " on the udders and teats after milking.
