This walk-through foot bath consists of two adjacent channels through which your medication or disinfectant is pumped at great speed. When the cows walk through the channels, the liquid is sprayed forcefully against the feet and heel removing contamination from wounds and the interdigital space. The powerful jets spray the medication into the hard-to-reach areas between the cow’s toes and behind her heel. The hydromatic foot bath uses two divided channels which helps the cows to walk slowly through the 3 metre long bath. This process allows the treatment sufficient time to penetrate her feet thoroughly. There is a small holding tank connected to the channels which contains 15 litres (4 gallons) of liquid. This holding tank is constantly replenished by a reservoir located elsewhere in the barn.
