Abstract: A comprehensive animal footbath flushing system is provided that includes a source of water under pressure, that may be selectively introduced either to a flushing outlet in the footbath, or to a venturi pipe adjacent to a drain for the footbath, or to both at the same time. Water or a water-chemical mixture may be introduced into the footbath basin to flush out any accumulated organic materials. Alternately or at the same time, a separate flow of water may be introduced into the drain line which causes a Venturi at the drain, and facilitates rapid removal of water and other materials from the footbath. The drain opening may be provided in the floor of the basin or in one of the side walls. In some embodiments the basin floor is sloped, and the drain is located at a lower end of the floor.
