Abstract:
A method and system that incorporates spraying logic onto a sensor mat to detect and apply various liquids onto the feet of an animal. Each sensor in the sensor mat activates at least one predetermined spray nozzle application of the medicinal fluid. The system is designated so that each hoof triggers at least two sensors, with each sensor activating at least one spray nozzle. All of the electronic components are located away from the mat and a controller control spaying and timing. Stop bars prevent the mat from compressing beyond a predetermined distance to prevent sensor failure. The sensors have a triple moisture prevention configuration.

Claim (Index 1):
A sensing mat for an animal treatment system comprising:\n a plurality of sensors, wherein the plurality of sensors comprise a predetermined space between a first and a next sensor so that compression by the animal's foot activates at least two sensors; a controller configured to receive an output from the at least two activated sensors and to send a Signal to activate at least one predetermined spray nozzle; and a plurality of rigid load bearing bars running a length of the sensing mat on each side of each sensor composing a stop to prevent contraction of sensors beyond a predetermined distance and to assist in activating the at least two sensors, wherein the stop comprises a predetermined height that corresponds to a travel distance required for activating each of the sensors.
