Dispersing gas in a liquid provides a mixture of saturated, supersaturated or hypersaturated solution to provide a suspension of bubbles containing gas therein into which animal tissue is immersed for health or wellness treatment. A two-phase mixture is provided with dissolved gas as a suspension of microbubbles. Methods for making, maintaining, and using the two-phase mixture are provided. Gas molecules may be introduced into a liquid at high velocity under elevated pressure to form a supersaturated solution that retains the gas, preferably oxygen, in solution when exposed to ambient conditions. |

An improved squeegee with integral nozzle and wiping blade for the washing and grooming of animals, especially large animals such as horses and other livestock, includes a body portion, a valve to regulate the flow of water, a nozzle oriented to direct a spray of water generally perpendicularly downwards relative to the body, and an arcuate wiping blade. The arcuate shape of the wiping blade enables it to be oriented relative to the surface being cleaned so that the curvature of the blade conforms to the shape of the surface. The apparatus is connected to a supply of water such as a garden hose, such that when it is drawn across the animal's body, water from the nozzle wets the animal's coat, and the wiping blade then removes water, soap, and dirt. |

A method is provided for treating the foot or hooves of animals used for breeding that are kept in sheds, especially cattle and particularly dairy cattle. The method is characterized in that in a first phase, the feet or hooves of the animals are cleaned with water or a detergent containing soap or tensides, using an automatic spray system in order to remove all traces of excrement, especially manure or other dirt, for example straw, and then in a second phase, the previously cleaned feet or hooves are treated with a disinfectant by wetting or spraying. |

The invention proposes a foot bath for applying a treatment liquid to feet and which facilitates the use of a smaller quality of treatment liquid. The foot bath comprises a deformable liquid collection surface (22) bounded by a rim to retain the liquid therewithin. More particularly the deformable liquid collection surface comprises a sheet of flexible impervious material disposed over a resilient supporting layer (20). The action for an animal walking on the surface (22) causes a well to be formed in the liquid collection surface into which the treatment liquid flows. The depth of the supporting layer determines the depth of the well. |

A system for washing and rinsing and drying an animal automatically in an enclosed space is disclosed. The system has paired operable front doors and paired operable rear doors and paired operable roof panels in a hingeable cooperative relationship. The panels are retracted to allow the animal ingress and egress prior to and after the cleaning cycle. The system has a plurality of discharge devices oriented and disposed on an interior surface of a plurality of paired opposed upstanding sidewalls in a base. A device for oscillating the plurality of discharge devices is provided to insure complete coverage of the animal's body including the underside and interior portions of the front and hind legs during the washing and rinsing and drying cycle. An aperture is oriented in a central section of one of the front door panels for allowing the animal's head to protrude from the enclosure. In this manner, there is no chance of discharge of the water outside of the enclosure. A flexible hose is provided to wash that portion of the animal's neck and head that protrudes through the aperture in the front door. A gutter is oriented forwardly of the base and being coplaner of the base to receive excess water during the washing the portion of the animal's neck and head that protrudes through the aperture. The aperture is vertically adjustable to receive the head of the animal regardless of the height of the animal. Additionally, the aperture has a variable diameter to releasably engage the neck of the animal to preclude and prevent any water from escaping through the aperture during the washing and rinsing cycle. A plurality of removable troughs is provided for the operator to selectively install the properly sized trough on the base of the system to maintain the separation of the animal's front and hind legs during the cleaning cycle. The upper surface of the trough has a non-skid material to enable the animal to remain in an upright position during the cleaning cycle. A plurality of discharge devices are disposed in an "H" bar relationship on the base of the system to supply washing water and rinsing water and drying air to the underside of the animal's body and to the interior portions of the front and hind legs. |

An animal operated insecticide spray delivery system operably enclosed in a barrel housing having an access opening to a feed source inside the barrel. The barrel is suspended in space such that the animal must thrust the head into the access opening to operate the spray delivery system. Should an animal butt the barrel, it will simply swing out of the way and in doing that it will lift which is not the habit of an animal to lift its head. |

A typical embodiment of the invention provides a means for applying a therapeutic liquid spray to the leg of a horse. A plastic bucket, for example, contains a top header and a bottom header joined in fluid communication by means of pivotally mounted spray tubes. The spray tubes can be turned to direct the spray to the portion of the animal's leg that is being treated. A circulating pump draws the spray fluid from the bottom of the bucket and pumps it through a valve to the headers. The valve, moreover, can not completely stop the flow, thereby protecting the pump from damage if the valve is inadvertently closed while the pump is running. |

Equine sanitation apparatus includes a supply tube, and in succession on the tube, a nozzle at its distal end, a sponge, and structure for manipulating the apparatus, whereby the nozzle and the sponge may be inserted into a body cavity and the sponge manipulated therein, and liquid may be supplied to and exhausted from the body cavity via the tube and the nozzle. The preferred apparatus includes a syringe-type instrument for supplying liquid to the tube and exhausting the liquid therefrom. The apparatus advantageously is employed in a method for cleaning an equine sheath, wherein the nozzle and the sponge are inserted in the sheath, the sheath cavity is flushed through the tube and the nozzle to loosen and remove smegma therein, and the interior surface of the sheath is scrubbed with the sponge to break up crustaceous smegma for removal thereof. |
