Abstract
An apparatus and method for producing a foam surfactant suitable for a bovine teat dip comprises air pressurization of a surfactant solution containing a germicide, disinfectant, biocide, etc., passing the air-surfactant mixture through a flow or line mixer to a foam holding cup adjacent the teat area and expanding the mixture in the holding cup to produce an adherent surfactant foam product with reduced run off, which both protects and reduces infection of the teat and surrounding udder area.
