[0028] Logic sensor pads for liquid application

[0029] As used in this disclosure, the term "foot" refers not only to the terminal portion of a vertebrate leg, but also to hooves, claw pads, pasterns, dewclaws, hocks and, for example, domestic The part of an animal such as a cow below the knee or hock. Although the examples discussed in this disclosure are limited to cows, the claimed invention includes the treatment of all types of animals.

[0030] The claimed invention relates to the use of incorporating spray logic into a sensor pad to detect and apply various liquids to an animal or human foot. The system described in US Patent 8,276,545 (hereinafter referred to as the '545 patent) is complex and has sensitive electronics that are not conducive to the harsh dairy environment. Another disadvantage is the cost and complexity that make it only suitable for deployment in 500 cows, larger dairies, or other large-scale applications. Another disadvantage is that the elect...

Abstract

A method and system that incorporates spraying logic onto the sensor mat to detect and apply various liquids onto the feet (12) of an animal. Each sensor (14) in the sensor mat (10) actuates a specific valve for application of the medicinal fluid without the use of relays and associated wiring. The medicinal fluid is a topical anti-inflammatory/Vaso dilator to prevent swelling, hemorrhaging, and further tissue elimination, commonly known as lamirsitis, abscess, ulcers and white line disease. The application of the medicinal fluid can be administered to only specific animals by tagging the animals that require treatment.

Description

technical field [0001] The presently claimed invention relates to the treatment of animals, and more particularly, to a method and system for automatically providing treatment fluids to ungulates. Background technique [0002] The control and management of insects and other pests in domesticated animals has proven challenging, expensive, often elusive and often ineffective. Pests among dairy herds significantly affect the economics of livestock production and dairy production, a commercial industry that contributes a considerable amount to the gross national product of the United States. For example, the dairy industry is estimated to be worth $38 billion a year. Failure to treat pests can cause a number of problems including severe irritation of the cows to poor dairy production, spread of disease pathogens between cows and violations of various regulatory rules and regulations due to failure to treat such pests. The present invention has provided exemplary solutions to p...
