The present invention relates to an agricultural machine for distributing products for animal feeding and/or straw bedding comprising a bin for receiving the products, a distribution blower, a product ejection zone, a rotary element fitted with blades mounted in the ejection zone, a drive shaft of the rotary element, a conveyor and/or unraveling system and a rotary indicator positioned outside the ejection zone and able to be driven in rotation directly or indirectly by the drive shaft to send to a user, by its own visual rotation effect, a visual indication of the rotation of the rotary element.

There is provided a pet treat dispenser for dispensing pet treats. The dispenser includes a dispenser housing with a housing chamber and a treat dispenser opening. The dispenser includes a treat hopper having a treat storage cavity. The treat hopper is formed with the dispenser housing with the treat hopper body received in the housing chamber and with the treat hopper translating between closed and dispensing positions. In the closed position the treat storage cavity is not aligned with the treat dispenser opening. In the dispensing position the dispensing end is positioned adjacent to the treat dispenser opening exposing the treat storage cavity. The dispenser includes a clicking mechanism having a start position and a deflected position. The clicking mechanism deflects upon the treat hopper being translated to the dispensing position and to produce an audible sound upon the clicking mechanism being deflected.

A feeding device with a stirring mechanism includes a device body and a nautilus-shaped turning wheel. The device body includes a base and a storage barrel disposed above the base. A bottom of the storage barrel includes an opening. The nautilus-shaped turning wheel is pivoted on the base and accommodated in the opening. The axial direction of the opening is perpendicular to the axial direction of the nautilus-shaped turning wheel. An outer periphery of the nautilus-shaped turning wheel includes a spiral arc edge with a thickness gradually decreased along a rotating direction and a stepped wall formed between two ends of the spiral arc edge. Therefore, the feeding device has the function of stirring the feed and removing the jamming.

Techniques for monitoring the individual feed and water intake and pharmaceutical use and unmetabolized residual alerting in the livestock industry. Livestock have sensors installed on or in their bodies to detect consumption of feed and water for each animal in an environment where multiple animals are present. Sensors communicate data regarding the duration and timing of individual animals feeding habits. Health and efficiency status data is recorded per animal and analyzed to determine whether to issue an alert indicating problems with individual animals. The system tracks the health and efficiency data for each animal, pen or farm and generates statistical information regarding the sensor data. The system communicates with user interface to display notifications and statistical data. In addition, the pharmaceutical monitoring system alerts when any unmetabolized residual pharmaceuticals are still in the animals when the animal is being readied for shipping to a packing plant.

The bone or chew toy holder is a device that is adapted to support a chew toy or a pet treat at an elevation that is adapted to be consistent with an applicable pet animal. The bone or chew toy holder is constructed of a base that may be weighted. The base includes a pole that extends vertically from the base. The pole is attached to a spring member that in turn is attached to a bracket. The bracket is used to attach to at least one clamp member. The at least one clamp member is adapted to support a chew toy or pet treat.
