Dairyman, sons innovate a new way to clean teats
What began as a project to use ozonated water as pre-dip has become a vortex-generating parlor tool to clean and stimulate teats without human touch. The innovation is already winning awards. Recently the New York dairy farmers who invented it received a $20,000 award for their product during the American Farm Bureau Federation’s Innovation Challenge.
“It was an unintended discovery that we found out we could stimulate cows so well with our design,” says inventor and dairyman Jody Neal of Orleans Poverty Hill Farms.
