Hoofcount - Model Robot - Customizable Footbaths and Control Systems for Livestock

SHARE
Hoofcount Ltd specializes in providing bespoke footbaths tailored to fit various spaces within robot-operated farms, where space constraints are a crucial consideration. These footbaths are often installed at the exit race of the robots and can be managed via a central control system. Each bath is equipped with a standard control box featuring two chemical pumps, enabling farmers to alternate chemical solutions. The system allows multiple modes of operation such as Cow Counter, timer, or manual, with the flexibility to adjust chemical types and concentrations. The recommended practice is to use the baths frequently at low chemical concentrations. Hoofcount's new Spray wave ensures thorough bath cleaning by pushing out excess muck. The iCAM touch screen control box allows centralized management of multiple baths, facilitating consistent operation and data input by professionals for optimal lameness treatment. The iCAM can be integrated with new or existing footbaths.

All our baths are bespoke and made to fit in the space provided. However robot farms need special consideration as space may be tight. This is why we recommend our standard bath in a robot system. The amount of footbaths you will need depends on how many robots and the positioning of them. For example many head-to-head robot farmers choose to only have one footbath on the exit race of those robots.

All Hoofcount baths come with the same control box as standard.

This having 2 chemical pumps to allow a farmer to alternate chemical solution. The Footbath may be operated using the Cow Counter, a timer, or manually. A farmer can decide how much Chemical and which chemical to use on different days. Good footbathing practice is seen to be ‘little and often’. This being everyday, the chemical ratio in the bath may be as low as 1.5%.

We have also released another new product called the Spray wave. This new spray bar ensures the bath is washed out from top to bottom and will push any excess muck out of the bath during the washing our process. This product can also be fit to existing baths but comes as standard to new ones.

’In addition to the Footbaths, we supply the iCAM. This is a touch screen control box which is most beneficial to customers with more than one footbath on farm. By controlling all footbaths from one central box, a farmer may change setting on all the Footbaths at the same time and ensure that all the footbaths are working in exactly the same way.

This new control system allows other professionals such as Vets, Hoof-trimmers, Herdsman to input data regarding lameness. The system may then decide on the correct chemical/chemical mix to add to the bath in order to best deal with lameness. The ICaM can be purchased with a new Footbath or added to an existing Footbath.
