The “Walkway” automatic hoof washing and disinfection system

Animal hoof health is very important at a dairy farm. It affects fertility, productivity and feed consumption, as well as care costs etc. For perfect hygiene and optimal hoof health it is important to regularly use a hoof bath. Optimal hoof health at an automated farm is of key importance for normal use of automatic devices.

Main advantages

• The hoof bath is started with one push of a button;
• Does not hinder cow traffic;
• The bath remains clean;
• Easy to operate;
• The bath is cleaned and filled with water with one push of a button.

The “Walkway” automatic hoof washing and disinfection system is very convenient in operation thanks to the function of automatic water and chemical filling (there is a possibility for injecting two different chemical preparations in the necessary concentration), as well as water flushing and cleaning.

The hoof care bath ensures:

• Minimal labor costs: the system is activated by one push of a button;
• Hoof baths always remain clean: dirty hoof baths are a potential source of hoof diseases in the herd;
• Free passage: after automatic cleaning the bath is returned to its home position, allowing the cows to continue moving without obstacles.

Just one push of a button

With one push of a button, the “Walkway” hoof bath switches to the work (horizontal) position and is filled with water, which is kept in a tank above the box. At the same time, a hoof care preparation is poured in. The bath is automatically emptied and cleaned by means of a spray nozzle before it is returned to its home position (vertical). When the bath is not in use, animals can easily walk without contaminating it.

A healthy, calm herd

The automatic, easy to use hoof bath allows the farmer to use it more often, which has a positive effect on general hoof health in the herd. The constantly operational hoof baths guarantee peace in the herd.
