How it works

Automated hoof care in five simple steps

  • Ready when you need it

    When not in use, the Hoof Bath remains in its resting position. Before a hoof care session starts, the system automatically prepares itself for use, helping ensure a smooth and consistent process.

    1

  • Automatically filled with fresh solution

    The bath is automatically filled with water and Lely Meteor Hoof bath Liquid. This specially developed liquid is designed for use with the Hoof bath for Lely Meteor and supports hoof hygiene and care during every treatment cycle.

    2

  • Hooves are cleaned and cared for

    As cows walk through the bath as part of their normal route through the barn, all four hooves come into contact with the solution. This combines hoof cleaning and care in a single step without disrupting daily cow traffic.

    3

  • The system monitors cow passages

    The Hoof bath tracks the number of cow passages and follows the refresh protocol you've configured. This helps maintain a consistent hoof care routine without requiring continuous manual intervention.

    4

  • Automatic refresh for consistent performance

    After the configured number of passages, the Hoof Bath automatically empties, rinses and refills with fresh solution. By renewing the bath contents automatically, the system helps maintain consistent hoof care conditions and helps prevent contamination.
