Abstract
A livestock blower apparatus for blowing air through a flexible hose onto an animal. A pair of blower units are enclosed within an interior space of a housing. The blower units are adapted to draw air through housing inlet openings and force it through a Y-shaped conduit out through a housing outlet opening without the air coming in contact with the housing interior space. A cooling fan is provided at a housing cooling inlet opening and blows air into the housing interior space. Another cooling fan is provided at a housing cooling outlet opening and draws/blows air out from within the housing interior space. The blower units are thereby protected from the elements and noise generated by them is muffled by the housing, and the blower units are cooled for minimizing the heat that may be transferred to the air being blown onto the animal.
