A pet house comprising an enclosure including at least one wall and a ceiling, the enclosure having an interior surface and an exterior surface, the interior surface defining an interior chamber, the at least one wall defining a door, the door providing access to the interior chamber from outside the pet house. The pet house further comprises a first layer of fabric bonded to the enclosure and covering the exterior surface. The pet house further comprises a second layer of fabric bonded to the first layer of fabric. The first layer of fabric and the second layer of fabric define a pocket between the first and second layers of fabric, the pocket being proximal to the ceiling, the pocket being sized to removably receive a temperature adjusting unit.

In one or more arrangements, a heating system is provided having one or more heating panels positioned in a housing. The housing has a hollow interior with an open lower end. A first panel is positioned in the open lower end of the housing. The first heating panel includes a heating layer. The heating layer includes a conductive microfilm. A first electrical contact is connected to the conductive microfilm. A second electrical contact is connected to the conductive microfilm. In one or more arrangements, the conductive microfilm includes at least one layer of graphene or nanofiber carbon material. Application of a voltage difference between the first electrical contact and the second electrical contact causes current to flow through the conductive microfilm, thereby generating heat. In one or more arrangements, current which flows through the conductive microfilm causes the conductive microfilm to emit infrared radiation.

The present disclosure provides methods for enabling an individual having a cat allergy to have a cat as a pet. Such a method can include quantitatively determining a threshold in the individual for an environmental level of an allergen produced by the cat and selecting a cat or a breed of cat that creates an environmental level of the allergen that is less than the threshold. Additionally, such a method can include lowering the allergens disseminated by the cat by treating the environment inhabited by the cat during a time period where the cat expresses elevated allergens.

A system controls the air climate in an insect rearing climate housing. The system has an insect rearing climate housing with clusters of one or more stacks of crates with insects. The crates have at least two ventilation openings associated with each crate. An aeration system has an air control unit with a database having a reference table with conditioned air properties in relation to input parameter(s). Aeration devices are connected to the air control unit adjacent to each stack of crates, and have a plurality of exit openings that provide airstreams over the insects. The method retrieves input parameter(s) for the air control unit per cluster of crates, the air control unit determines appropriate conditioned air properties of the airstreams based on the retrieved input parameter(s), and for each individual cluster of crates separately, the air control unit sets the determined conditioned air properties of the airstreams.

The first object of the invention is a production line for rearing and/or breeding insects and/or larval forms of insects of the order Coleoptera and/or Diptera, characterized in that it comprises: at least one breeding line (14) for breeding insects for laying feed thereon and a flow-through feed heating and/or cooling system (1) with a closed flow of heating-cooling medium for heating/cooling the feed on the breeding line (14). The second object is a method for breeding insects including a step of rearing and/or breeding insects and/or larval forms of insects using a production line according to the invention. A further object is a method for breeding insects using a flow-through feed heating and/or cooling system during the breeding. Another object is the use of a flow-through feed heating and/or cooling system (1) with a closed flow of heating-cooling medium for heating/cooling the feed on the breeding line (14).

A large animal hauling vehicle is provided that has a supplemental animal stability system. The supplemental support system offers protection or otherwise helps the large animal remain stable during driving situations that could lead to the animal's instability. These situations by may include abrupt movements of the hauling vehicle, such as pronounced or increasing trailer sway situations or crash events. The instability protection system may include a support system with at least one deployable device, such as an inflatable cushion(s) and a control system that evaluates operational conditions and commands deployment of the deployable device(s) upon a determination of an instability condition.

In an exemplary embodiment, an Environmental Optimization System (“EOS”) provides a system for the intelligent control and monitoring of a poultry or livestock house environment through the utilization of a solar thermal collection system, a variety of environmental and livestock behavior sensors, apparatus for controlling the thermal collection and existing interior heating/air conditioning/ventilation (“HVAC”) systems, and Internet or cloud based intelligent control and monitoring capabilities of the system. In various embodiments central sensor data aggregation is utilized to provide improved optimization control for individual structures based on data from multiple structures.

A mobile indoor controlled apiary system includes a mobile foundation, a plurality of insulated panels configured for modular assembly to form a structural envelope on top of the mobile foundation, and a removable shell configured for covering the structural envelope. The system further includes a data collection system for gathering environmental data within the structural envelope, and a climate control system configured for regulating environmental conditions within the structural envelope.

A hollow polymer stall divider for use in a barn permits lateral flexing when a cow presses against the stall divider while the stall divider asserts a lateral force against the cow to urge the cow to move into a proper position between adjacent stall dividers without causing injury to the cow. The polymer stall divider can be formed of a single polymer material having a unitary density throughout. Alternatively, the polymer stall divider can be formed of multiple sections of different densities of polymer material, and different types of polymer material. The different sections of polymer material can be plastic welded together or connected by plug members inserted into the adjoining ends of the sections and secured with adhesives or other bonding material to form line blanks that can be heated until softened sufficiently to be bent into a proper shape within a pre-formed mold.
