It relates to a livestock floor dewatering device that can be suppressed.

Despite the outward growth, the Korean dairy industry is still less productive than foreign countries, and is relatively poor in dairy product development and hygienic quality of crude oil. Therefore, technical improvement and national policy support are required.

At present, although the size of dairy farmers is being fully commercialized, commercialized and enlarged, the number of managers remains the same due to the reduction of rural labor force. Therefore, due to an increase in the number of heads of dairy cows per manager, there is a lack of detailed management time per cow, which increases the likelihood of disease occurrence and is likely to spread on a large scale in the event of epidemics.

In particular, mastitis caused by domestic dairy cows has an adverse effect on the hygiene of raw milk, economic loss of producers, and nutrition of the people, so it is urgent to prepare countermeasures. In cows, mastitis is the most fatal disease in the dairy industry and can be caused by a variety of causes. The causes of mastitis include abnormal anatomical structure of the breast, unsanitary breeding environment, unbalanced nutrition, physiological abnormalities such as metabolism and hormones in the body, management of unsanitary specification of delivery and dry season, use of unsanitary milking machine and error of milking Poor hygiene management. In particular, mastitis infection from the environment is the most important source of contamination for all causes.

At present, no definite treatment method for mastitis has been developed, and antibiotic therapy and symptomatic therapy through antibiotic susceptibility of causative bacteria are performed in parallel. For this reason, prevention and blocking of infectious agents are a top priority as a way to minimize mastitis.

Therefore, hygienic cleaning of breast, care of the surface of breast, and disinfection of papilla after milking are important factors to be taken for the prevention of mastitis. All of these elements are part of the process to prevent infection from the environment, and above all, the fundamental preventive measures are to prevent infections from the barn floor, facilities and milk sludge.
