A physically and chemically stable mastitis treating composition in an acidulant part and a chlorite part, that can effectively reduce microbial populations, on contact with a teat surface and for an extended period, said composition comprising: (a) an acidulant part comprising organic ingredients, said ingredients comprising: (i) about 0.1 to 15 parts by weight of an anti-microbial weak acid or salt thereof or mixtures thereof; (ii) about 0.1 to 15 parts by weight of a weak organic or inorganic acid, or salts thereof, or mixtures thereof, the acid selected from the group consisting of a phosphoric acid or lactic acid; and (iii) a major proportion of water; and (b) a chlorite part, substantially free of an organic component, consisting essentially of an alkali metal chlorite salt; wherein the composition exhibits rheology that promotes cling to immobilize the composition on the teat surface and provides a barrier to environmental contamination. Also disclosed is a method of reducing microbial populations on a diary animal teat with a teat dip and for introducing an antimicrobial barrier layer by applying the above composition to the animal.
