METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR ELECTRIC PROCESSING IN VIVO OF FARM ANIMAL'S UDDER CAVITIES AND TISSUES

摘要

FIELD: animal farming. SUBSTANCE: method involves positioning animal's udder or part thereof between electrodes; introducing medicinal or disinfecting preparation through plurality of openings and urging said preparation to move inside udder by action of electric high-frequency unidirectional pulses of 10-300 kHz frequency modulated by low-frequency bell-shaped envelope at pulse-repetition frequency of 0.01-2 Hz. Apparatus has flexible resilient cuff composed of two parts separated with dielectric material. Surfaces contacting with animal's body are made from current-conductive rubber provided with through openings and outer side of surfaces is composed of air-impermeable material. One of parts is equipped with cavity, where pressure sensor and pressure creating device are located. System for producing electric effect has high-frequency generator and sequentially connected rectangular pulse generator, bell-shaped envelope former, amplitude modulator and single-pole pulse amplifier connected to current-conductive rubber, which serves as electrode. Combination of said means facilitates relieving of pain feelings during treatment of animal's udder. EFFECT: increased efficiency and enhanced reliability in operation. 3 cl, 2 dwg
