Abstract: Described herein is a solar roof tile system (102) for a building. The system (102) includes a supporting structure (108) adapted to be mounted to the building and having one or more supporting formations (110, 112) for supportively engaging one or more solar roof tiles (104). The solar roof tiles (104) are adapted to be releasably engaged with the supporting structure (108) such that the solar roof tiles (104) can be independently released from the roof (100) without removing adjacent solar or non-solar roof tiles (106). Each of the solar roof tiles (104) include one or more electrical junction boxes (152, 154) disposed on an underside surface (150) for receiving electrical cables to form an electric circuit with others of the one or more solar roof tiles (104) and an inverter.

Abstract: A teat dip formula is disclosed for use on dairy animals with the objective of reducing or preventing mastitis. The teat dip formula preferably includes up to about 2% of peracetic acid in solution made by mixing acetic acid, hydrogen peroxide, and from up to about 5% by weight of composition of a thickening agent. Other constituents of the formula may include effective amounts of a skin conditioning agent or agents, a surfactant or surfactants and urea. A method of preparing and applying the formula is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for applying bovine foot and hoof treatment compositions having two or more specific and complimentary antimicrobial components in a hoof bath just prior to use to work more effectively. These antimicrobial components may include antimicrobial inorganic salts of certain heavy metals, cationic agents, peroxides, aldehydes, fatty acids, iodines or other suitable compounds effective in the killing of microorganisms.

Abstract: A teat dip formula is disclosed for use on dairy animals with the objective of reducing or preventing mastitis. The teat dip formula preferably includes up to about 5000 ppm of peracetic acid in solution made in situ by mixing acetic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Other constituents of the formula may include effective amounts of a skin conditioning agent or agents, a surfactant or surfactants and urea. A method of preparing and applying the formula is disclosed.
