Patent number: 11559053Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide improved livestock foot bath solutions that are capable of maintaining a low pH during longer periods of use in order to help prevent the metal salts from precipitating out of the solution and rendering the solution ineffective. Embodiments of the present invention provide improved livestock foot bath solutions that include one or more weak organic acids, such as polyprotic organic acids, in the aqueous solution, along with the dissolved metal salts.

Patent number: 11554001Abstract: The present invention provides improved movable footbaths for the treatment of hooved animals. The footbaths include a watertight basin with sidewalls and end walls. The footbaths are movable for use in temporary or permanent locations. The footbaths include a cleat in the lower surface of the basin adjacent to a removable and replaceable ramp, and the ramp has a rough upper surface that provides friction for hooved animals allowing them to easily exit the footbath. After wear and tear, the ramp may be pried out or otherwise removed and replaced with a new ramp. Embodiments of the present footbath may be used to repair existing permanent footbaths, instead of destroying and rebuilding them, by inserting the movable footbath into the permanent footbath.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2022Date of Patent: January 17, 2023Assignee: Specialty Sales, LLCInventors: Donald Alsup, Gary Oliver
