Abstract
A teat preparation apparatus to effectively clean and prepare bovine teat before milking and then sanitize the teat after milking. The apparatus is connected to a control unit and includes a holder attached to a teat receiving body with high-pressure air, pre-dip, and post-dip ports. Located inside the teat receiving body is a spray cylinder that forms two or three stacked, isolated raceways that communicate with the three ports in the teat receiving body so that air, pre-dip solution, and post-dip solution can be selectively sprayed individually or together over a teat at different stages of operation. The holder may be a handpiece operated manually or a support arm integrated with a robotic system with a track parallel to a row of bovines to be milked. When used in a robotic system, two or more teat receiving bodies may be adjusted, enabling the spacing and orientation of each teat receiving body to be adjusted. Additionally, a deflection cap with an optional diffuser enhances functionality.
