Abstract: A system and method for producing a bovine teat foam for treating a bovine teat is provided. This method may include providing a foaming system that has an open ended teat cup fluidly connected to a pressurized line containing a bovine teat liquid treatment and creating the foam passing the liquid treatment through a screen before the liquid reaches the bovine teat. In this method the provided system may also include a body having a beveled surface and a thimble shaped screen positioned within the body. Also, the bovine teat treatment may comprise iodine-based and glycerin-based treatments as well as other types. As explained throughout the disclosure, there are numerous other embodiments of the invention in addition to those specifically disclosed herein.

Abstract: A method for producing a foamed bovine teat dip is provided. This method may include providing a teat cup configured to surround a bovine teat wherein the teat cup may have an open end sized to accept a bovine teat. This method may also include providing a source of teat dip remote from the teat cup, advancing teat dip from the source of teat dip towards the teat cup, providing a source of compressed fluid remote from the teat cup, sending compressed fluid from the source of compressed fluid towards the teat cup and creating a foam by mixing compressed fluid from the source of compressed fluid with teat dip. Milking the bovine may shortly follow this foaming method.

Abstract: An apparatus for producing a foam surfactant suitable for a bovine teat dip having a compressor for air pressurization of a surfactant solution containing a germicide, disinfectant, biocide, etc., wherein the air-surfactant mixture is passed through a flow or line mixer to a foam holding cup adjacent the teat are, and wherein the mixture is expanding 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.
