Description

Description: BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a wiper for wiping the breast of a dairy cow. In addition, the present invention relates to a wiper for wiping the udder of a dairy cow, in which a water-absorbent sheet such as nonwoven fabric, paper or gauze is laid out and folded and hermetically packaged, and can be taken out one by one from a resealable take-out port. 2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when milking a dairy cow, usually, the udder of the dairy cow and the vicinity of the nipple are cleaned for the purpose of preventing foreign substances and dirt from being mixed and preventing contamination by bacteria and the like. Milking from. The wiping method at this time is to soak a non-woven fabric, paper, or fukin in a dry state in hot water of 40 to 50 ° C. in advance and wipe the area around the nipple of the cow with this,
Either spraying a sterilizing solution directly onto the udder of a dairy cow, or spraying a sterilizing solution on a wiping sheet and then using the wiping sheet to wipe around the breast is adopted. Further, after wiping the breast, the wiper used for wiping is discarded or, depending on the material of the wiper, is washed and dried, and is used again.
In the milking sanitary paper, with respect to the hanging device for the paper holder, a hanging device is provided on the attachment, and the hanging device is easily hooked on a shelf or the like having a wire mesh for partitioning the space of the adjacent dairy cow in the pasture, Hanger for paper holder to prevent contamination of paper box during milking work
No. 6), however, it was not perfect in terms of hermetic sealability. In addition, in the case of wiping in hot water, a bucket is usually used, and with this, foreign matter and dirt can be removed but bacteria are not enough. Further, neither the hot water wiping method nor the sterilizing solution spraying method is troublesome for wiping operation, and it cannot be said that the milk quality of milking is sufficient. [0003] It is necessary to clean the area around the breast immediately before milking to prevent foreign matter, dirt and microorganisms from being mixed, but it is necessary to treat the wiper with hot water each time. Is not a suitable method for preventing contamination of creatures due to the incorporation of falling bacteria in the bucket and the lack of sterilization ability with hot water. On the other hand, in the method of spraying the sterilizing solution directly onto the breast or wiper, a large spraying amount of the sterilizing solution causes rough skin and inflammation of the udder of the dairy cow, and conversely, a small spraying amount has a disadvantage that the sterilizing effect cannot be obtained. It is difficult to control the amount of the sterilizing solution attached, and there is a problem that the working efficiency is not always good. In view of the above problems, the present inventors have aimed at improving hygiene safety and workability, and have improved technology for preventing contamination of foreign matter, dirt, and organisms when wiping udders of dairy cows. As a result, an easy-to-use wiper that improves work efficiency has been developed. [0004] The wet wiper of the present invention basically comprises 9 to 15% by weight of unmodified ethanol,
Lactic acid or citric acid 0.01-0.1% by weight and purified water 8
It is a necessary component to mix 5% to 90% by weight. This wiper is made by impregnating a water-absorbing sheet such as non-woven fabric, paper or gauze with a sterilizing solution consisting of unmodified ethanol, lactic acid, citric acid and purified water, which has no problem as a food additive. The product is packaged so that it can be taken out one by one, and is provided as a product that is hygienic, safe and convenient for wiping a necessary part of a dairy cow before milking. In the present invention, the native ethanol is 9 to
Although 15% by weight is used, if the amount of undenatured ethanol is 9% by weight or less, the sterilizing effect is low, and the sterilizing purpose cannot be achieved. Conversely 1
If the content is more than 5% by weight, the udder and the nipple of the dairy cow will be defatted, leading to rough skin, which is not appropriate. Lactic acid or citric acid is used in an amount of 0.01 to 0.1% by weight. In this case, the pH becomes too low, and the skin becomes rough, which is not preferable. In the present invention, the concentration of undenatured ethanol and the concentration of lactic acid or citric acid combine to provide a synergistic bactericidal effect, resulting in a skin-friendly wet wiper. The pH of the impregnating liquid
Is preferably adjusted to about 3. The amount of the impregnating liquid impregnated into the water-absorbing sheet is 100% by weight to 300% by weight based on the weight of the water-absorbing sheet. If the amount of the impregnating liquid is 100% by weight or less, the leakage as a wet wiper is insufficient, the wiping effect is insufficient, and the sterilizing effect is not good. If the amount is 300% by weight or more, the sterilizing liquid is mixed into milk due to excessive leakage, It is not preferable because it may become too wet and cause inflammation. The water-absorbent sheet impregnated with the germicidal solution must be folded in a Z-fold and air-tightly wrapped in a state that allows pop-up in the same manner as a normal wet wiper. At this time, it is placed in a pre-formed solid container or pillow-wrapped with film. Housed by. In addition, by providing a resealable take-out opening in the packaging material and allowing taking out one by one, the area around the breast can be immediately wiped, and the sanitary safety of the unused wiper can be maintained. Since it can be impregnated with a certain amount of sterilizing solution most preferable as a dairy cow wiper, it is always effective against microorganisms and can provide safe and stable milk and milk quality. As a water-absorbent sheet of the substrate to be impregnated,
Use one selected from non-woven fabric, paper or gauze. Example 1 A sterile solution consisting of 10% by weight of undenatured ethanol, 0.05% by weight of citric acid and about 90% by weight of purified water was applied to a cotton nonwoven fabric having a basis weight of 80 g / m ² (15 cm × 25).
cm) to 160% by weight. 100 sheets were folded with an overlap so that they could be popped up and pillow-wrapped using an airtight film. A wiper take-out opening was provided on the opposite side of the center seal of the pillow package, and a film coated with an adhesive on the back surface was used as a cover of the take-out opening to provide a resealable package rest. Example 2 Undenatured ethanol 12% by weight, lactic acid 0.0
A sterilizing solution consisting of 7% by weight and about 88% by weight of purified water was coated with a wiper paper (20 cm × 20 cm) having a basis weight of 70 g / m ^2.
To 120% by weight. 100 sheets were folded with an overlap so that they could be popped up and pillow-wrapped using an airtight film. A plastic opening / closing lid was provided at the outlet on the opposite side of the center seal of the pillow package, so that a package could be taken out one by one. The dairy cow wiper of the present invention can be impregnated with a certain amount of a sterilizing solution which is most preferable for dairy cow udders. Milk of milk that is safe for both milk and milk quality is possible. As a water-absorbent sheet impregnated with a germicidal solution, nonwoven fabric, paper, gauze, or the like, which is a general-purpose material, can be used, so that it is economical and has a high degree of contribution to society.
