Universal Ventilated Litter Box Assembly
The present disclosure is directed to devices and kits configured to displace noxious odors generated by pet waste or excrement from within pet waste receptacles, such as a litter box kept within the pet owner's living space or home to areas existing outside of such owner's living space via a preexisting window therein. More particularly, a flexible, elongated duct is coupled to an exhaust hole in any hooded litter box on one end, and on another end, coupled to an electrically powered fan and universal window vent panel. When the window vent panel is sealedly disposed in a window and the fan is powered on, noxious air within the receptacle is drawn through the exhaust opening in the enclosure, the duct, and an exhaust opening in the window vent panel to an outside of such window.
WATERPROOF SOCKET-TYPE HALOGEN LAMP FOR LIVESTOCK BARN WITH IMPROVED HANDLING
A waterproof socket-type halogen lamp for a livestock barn comprises a fixing body forming a hollow part, a side plate finishing the outside of the fixing body, a contact point, a wire, an annular insulator insulating the fixing body, a spring which is embedded in the hollow part and of which an outer side is supported by the side plate, an inner side supports the outer side of the annular insulator to provide restoration force while supporting one terminal of the tube halogen lamp through the contact point, and an inner waterproof packing which prevents moisture or dust from penetrating to the inner end of the fixing body and has a closed curve shape with a terminal passing groove through which a lamp terminal housing passes, and a tube halogen lamp in which lamp terminals at both ends are connected with the contact point by two socket parts.

Modular Livestock Stall
A connector includes a cube, a first cylinder and a second cylinder. The cube includes first, second, third, fourth, fifth and sixth faces. The cube includes a first bore therein, the first bore having a first longitudinal axis. The first cylinder extends from the first face; the first cylinder includes a first hole therein, the first hole having a second longitudinal axis. The second cylinder extends from the second face; the second cylinder includes a second hole therein, the second hole having a third longitudinal axis. The first, second and third longitudinal axes are parallel to each other. In another aspect, a vent element includes a first piece and a second piece that is a mirror image of the first piece, each of the pieces having upper, middle and lower portions. In yet another aspect, a system is configured for removable attachment of an elongated tube to a surface.
Migration barriers, systems and methods
A migration barrier includes a first barrier wall and a second barrier wall wherein at least one of the first and second barrier walls together provide a stable base structure that maintains the barrier assembly in an upright, standing position.

ANIMAL CRATE WITH SWING OR DROP DOOR ASSEMBLY
A door assembly includes a frame having interconnected wires that define an opening for an animal to pass therethrough, and a door having interconnected wires and being coupled to the frame. A latch assembly has a handle structure and a pin. The handle structure is pivotable with respect to one of the door and the frame, and the pin is movable axially with respect to one of the door and the frame. A first wire of the plurality of wires of the frame forms a key hole assembly. The key hole assembly defines an aperture for receiving the pin when the door is in a latched position with respect to the frame. A tab assembly is formed by at least one wire of the door and is disposable behind at least one of the plurality of wires of the frame in the closed position.
ANIMAL CRATE WITH SWING OR DROP DOOR ASSEMBLY
A door assembly for an animal enclosure includes a frame having a plurality of interconnected horizontal and vertical wires that defines an opening for an animal to pass therethrough and a door having a plurality of interconnected horizontal and vertical wires and being coupled to the frame. The door is disposable between a closed position and an open position. A latch assembly is coupled to either the door or frame, and removably couples the door to the frame in the closed position. A blocking member is coupled to the door and located between at least two adjacent wires of the plurality of interconnected wires of the door. The blocking member is disposed adjacent to the latch member such that a portion of the latch member is in contact with the blocking member in a rest position.
ANIMAL CONTAINER
An animal container. The animal container includes a housing sized to fit an animal, such as a pet, within. The housing includes a plurality of sides. The plurality of sides includes a first side having a first opening leading into the housing and a second side having a second opening leading into the housing. A gate is secured to the housing and is spring biased in a closed position covering the first opening. The gate pivots against the spring bias in a direction towards an interior of the housing when a force is applied against the gate from outside of the housing. A first door is secured to the housing and covers the second opening.
Compositions for use in animal housing
Provided herein are compositions useful for improving conditions in animal housing. In some embodiments, the compositions may include, in combination: a) an organic acid; b) an organic terpene; and optionally, c) a strong mineral acid. In some embodiments, the composition has a pH of from 2 to 5, or from 2.5 to 4, or from 3 to 3.5. Also provided are processes for the control of ammonia and microbes in animal housing, which may include applying a composition as taught herein to at least a portion of the house, e.g., to the bedding of the house, whereby said applying steps result in the control of ammonia and/or microbes in the animal housing.
