A disinfectant spraying apparatus is disclosed for mounting on a vehicle for spraying disinfectant on each tire of a vehicle before and after entering a livestock farm. The apparatus includes a container for containing the disinfectant, the container being mounted on the vehicle. A pump is disposed in fluid communication with the container for pumping the disinfectant from the container and a motor is provided for driving the pump. A manually operated switch is provided for selectively connecting the motor to a source of power such that when the switch is disposed in an operative disposition thereof, the motor is energized so that the motor drives the pump for generating a flow of the disinfectant downstream from the pump. A flow splitter is included for splitting the flow of the disinfectant pumped by the pump from the container such that the flow is split into a plurality of flow lines.

1. A disinfectant spraying apparatus mounted on a vehicle for spraying disinfectant on each tire of a vehicle before and after entering a livestock farm, said apparatus comprising:a container for containing the disinfectant, said container being mounted on the vehicle; a pump disposed in fluid communication with said container for pumping the disinfectant from said container; a motor for driving said pump; a manually operated switch for selectively connecting said motor to a source of power such that when said switch is disposed in an operative disposition thereof, said motor is energized so that said motor drives said pump for generating a flow of the disinfectant downstream from said pump; a flow splitter for splitting said flow of the disinfectant pumped by said pump from said container such that said flow is split into a plurality of flow lines, each flow line of said plurality of flow lines having an upstream and a downstream end; an indicator connected between said upstream and downstream ends of each flow line for indicating flow of the disinfectant through said flow line; and a spray nozzle disposed adjacent to said downstream end of each flow line, said nozzle being located in a vicinity of a tire of the vehicle so that the vehicle tire is initially sprayed with the disinfectant prior to entry of the vehicle into the farm for inhibiting the spread of contagious disease into the farm and for further spraying the vehicle tire when the vehicle leaves the farm.
