Hoofcare vinyl spray mat for disinfecting and medicating cows’ hooves

10/16

vinkelst

Cows’ hooves are constantly in contact with liquid and organic manure which causes contagious hoof diseases. The vinyl mat is fluid-filled and covered with spheres. If the cow walks over the mat and steps on or near a sphere, a valve will open and medication or a disinfecting agent will be sprayed onto the hooves. The Hoof care spray mat consists of three parts: bottom mat, spray mat and cover mat, which requires no maintenance. With other existing footbaths, when cows pass through them the liquid with which they are filled is contaminated with manure and so the treatment loses its effectiveness.
