Abstract
A method for producing a foam surfactant, and foam product suitable for a combined bovine teat dip and teat wash 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 to atmospheric in the holding cup to produce an adherent surfactant foam product with reduced run-off, which both protects and reduces infection of the teat, particularly at the teat canal and surrounding udder area.
