Smart livestock management method and system based on Internet of things. The smart livestock management system may include a gate. The gate may include a frame forming a moving path of an animal, an external device disposed in the frame and configured to radiate electromagnetic waves toward the moving path and to receive identification information and bio information of the animal from an implant device inserted into the body of the animal passing through the moving path, and a camera configured to obtain image data of the animal passing through the moving path.

A gestation stall gate assembly includes a gate support, a gate pivotably coupled to the gate support, and a gate control assembly. The gate is pivotable between an inwardly open position, a closed position, and an outwardly open position. The gate control assembly is configured to (i) allow the gate to pivot from the closed position to the inwardly open position when a sow pushes against the gate to pivot the gate toward the inwardly open position, (ii) prevent the gate from pivoting from the closed position to the inwardly open position for a second time until the gate is pivoted from the closed position to the outwardly open position, and (iii) allow the gate to pivot from the closed position to the outwardly open position when the sow pushes against the gate to pivot the gate toward the outwardly open position.

In general, one aspect disclosed features an anchoring system for anchoring an at least partially floorless mobile livestock enclosure to the ground. The anchoring system comprising: a securing flange configured to mechanically couple the anchoring system to the enclosure; an anchor; and a drive configured to place the anchor into contact with the ground, and to retract the anchor from contact with the ground.

A cattle gate system having two saloon-style cattle gates. A stop system along a header of the cattle gate system enables a user to select, for each gate, which of the two swinging directions is prevented or not. Thereby, each gate may be bidirectional, unidirectional, non-directional or locked.

A pet carrier-backpack for carrying small to medium sized pets, with abundant space, sun protection, ventilation, support, and comfort, with the emphasis being the placement of air ventilation and the shade structure that offers maximum functionality. My soft sided pet carrier backpack is a portable home for the pet with an abundance of strategic ventilation and space, with a removable/expandible shade for the pets' sun protection. My invention functions as a car seat also and offers the option of choosing between two head holes so the pet can be zipped all the way in the pet carrier and enclosed, laying down, or having its head out of the backpack, while its body is completely enclosed. There is a removable-sturdy, fur bed that detaches from the bag to allow your pet to lay on it anywhere you place it. The circular air vents on the front face of the pet carrier as well as the air vents on the left and right sides of the invention, create discrete as well as non-discrete usage options for experience, while maximizing air flow.

A cat carrier includes an enclosure, tray, grate, and latch. The enclosure has a front opening, and first and second holes. The tray is slidable within the enclosure, between extended and storage positions. The grate is joined to the tray, with a portion extending in proximity to the front opening of the enclosure when the tray is in the storage position. The latch has a handle, and first and second latch wires spring biased in opposite directions, with distal ends respectively received into the first and second holes, when in the storage position, to redundantly latch the tray the enclosure, so it cannot be undone by a cat housed in the carrier. The first and second latch wires each include finger graspable loops configured to be actuated by a thumb and forefinger, while pulling on the handle with the remaining fingers to single-handedly slide the tray out the enclosure.

An improved poultry production method comprising providing dry hydrogen peroxide (DHP) to poultry eggs, chicks and birds, and devices for providing DHP to poultry production during laying, incubating, hatching, and growing.

A ventilation system for a housing structure with a plurality of air vents including: vent control modules configured to control and actuate opening and closing of at least one air vent of the plurality of air vents; an electro-mechanical drive unit mechanically coupled to each of the plurality of vent control modules and providing mechanical power thereto, the drive unit including a motor and a drive shaft, the drive shaft being disposed parallel to the axis of the air vents; a control unit, in communication with the drive unit and the plurality of vent control modules, configured to control the drive unit and individually control each of the vent control modules; the vent control modules use the mechanical power of the drive unit to individually effect the opening and closing of each respective vent of the plurality of air vents.

A compact conditioning system for controlling a volume, comprises: (a) at least one light source, said light source being coupled with a replaceable focusing lens; (b) at least one fan; (c) at least one temperature sensor; (d) control circuitry adapted to receive inputs from said sensor(s) and/or from a user, and to operate said light source(s) and/or said fan(s) as a result thereof; and (e) a housing suitable to house said light source, fan and control circuitry and adapted to be positioned at the top of a structural element defining a closed space.

A stand-alone chamber or multi-chamber inhalation system has at least two alternative vaporized test liquid supply systems for passive or self-administered delivery of vaporized test fluid and air to one or more test chambers, which can be passive or restraint chambers, based on operator selection of delivery on and off times in a passive mode or actuation of an actuator in the chamber by a test animal in a self-administered mode. In one case, a multiple inhalation chamber system has two or more separate test fluid delivery systems and provides options for selective passive uniform drug delivery to multiple chambers or selective delivery of two or more different drugs to different groups of chambers from different delivery systems so that two different drugs or different concentrations of delivered drugs can be tested simultaneously.
