<p>An automated cleaning system, where dairy cows (12) pass through a foot bath (22) region. The foot bath (22) is periodically changed by implementing an agitation phase where high velocity water jets (58, 60, 62) agitate the waste material in the foot bath (22) and causes these to be discharged, followed by a drain phase where the liquid flows out an outlet (86). Then, a flushing phase removes the further debris, with the foot bath (22) then being refilled with water (50) and chemical disinfecting (52) liquid for a subsequent cycle where another group of cows (12) would pass through the foot bath (22) region.</p> |
