Zusammenfassung:PCT No. PCT/AU90/00522 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 30, 1992 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 30, 1992 PCT Filed Oct. 29, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/06219 PCT Pub. Date May 16, 1991.A head washing apparatus has a head support (20) which supports the animal head (15) so that the muzzle is directed upwardly. A plurality of nozzles (16, 17) direct water under pressure in a plurality of directions onto the animal head (15) so that water is directed into upwardly opening orifices (18). Head turning means (30) turns the head support (20) in increments relative to the nozzles (16, 17) so that water is directed onto the head (15) and into the orifices (18) by the nozzles while the head is in different orientations relative to the nozzles (16, 17). Conveyor means (24) conveys the head support (20) to and from the head washing station. The nozzles (16, 17) are mounted by a carriage (50) which tracks the movement of the head (15).
