Apparatus and method for producing a foam bovine teat dip

摘要

An apparatus for producing a foam surfactant suitable for a bovine teat dip comprises means for air pressurization of a surfactant solution containing a germicide, disinfectant, biocide, etc., means for passing the air-surfactant mixture through a flow or line mixer to a foam holding cup adjacent the teat area and means for expanding the mixture in the holding cup to produce an adherent surfactant foam product with reduced run off, which both protects and reduces infection of the teat and surrounding udder area.
