Abstract
An ultrasound teat dip comprises a dip cup having a well adapted to receive a supply of a germicide and an upper opening for receiving a teat to be dipped in the germicide, in use. A sonic transducer is operatively coupled to the well to sonically vibrate the well to produce cavitation in the germicide supply. A storage vessel defines a reservoir for storing a supply of germicide. The storage vessel is secured to the dip cup. A flow tube transfers germicide stored in the reservoir to the well to refill the dip cup with germicide.
