The invention relates to the field of pet supplies, and particularly, to a pet kettle. The pet kettle includes a bottle body, an object holding tray and a switch unit. The bottle body includes a tray groove allowing the object holding tray to be movably placed, and a water outlet channel arranged toward the tray groove. The switch unit is adapted to be switched to an open state or a closed state to control the water outlet channel to be opened or closed. The pet kettle has an integrated structure, which is convenient for carrying and transportation, and prevents pet breeders from consuming a lot of efforts to pour water, thereby saving the pet breeders' energy. In addition, pet breeders do not need to directly contact the water stored in the pet kettle when supplying water, thereby reducing the health risks of the pets and pet breeders.

A cable clip device, including outer cylindrical column, first inner cylindrical column relatively fixed to outer cylindrical column, second inner cylindrical column provided with a sliding groove, spring and cover; the second inner cylindrical column vertically and telescopically slides with respect to the first inner cylindrical column; the first and second inner cylindrical columns are connected with a pull rod; a hook portion on a top of the pull rod can slide in the sliding groove which has first and second positioning points and includes unidirectional first and second tracks connecting the first and the second positioning points; a middle of the cover is provided with a cable clip for clamping cable; a plug connector can pass through the first and second inner cylindrical columns; an outer periphery of the cover is provided with a sealing ring; the cover is detachably arranged above the second inner cylindrical column.

A pet water dispenser may include a water tank having an upper opening, a pump, a water supply pipe connected to the pump to transfer water, and a water supply hole formed in a water supply plate communicating with the water supply pipe. A removable inner assembly may include the pump, the water supply pipe, and the water supply plate, and may further include a wireless power receiver to receive power from a wireless power transmitter, which may include a plurality of partially overlapping coils.

A pet water dispenser may include a water tank having a space to store water and an upper opening, a pump installed in the space, a water supply pipe to transfer water discharged from the pump, and a water supply plate to which water is supplied from the water supply pipe. The water tank may include a wall defining the space and a water tank base supporting the wall from below. An upper end of the wall may be smaller than a lower end of the wall, as the wall may be inclined inward from the lower end to the upper end.

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.

A method for producing a straw mat in a living space for livestock, in particular for sows and/or fattening pigs and/or piglets, confined in a straw pen, is disclosed. The method comprises the step of automatically and initially spreading straw, such as defibrated straw, into the living space up to a substantially uniform thickness (d) of the straw mat. Also disclosed is a straw pen and pen building in accordance with the disclosed method.

A lid for a bucket comprises a center portion and at least one side portion. In some embodiments, the side portion is removably coupled to the center portion. In some embodiments, the side portion is hingedly connected to the center portion and includes at least one cutout suitable for receiving a bail mount of the bucket. The hinged connection between the center portion and the side portion may be on an axis substantially perpendicular to an axis on which plural bail mounts of the bucket lie.

A filtration system for a pet water fountain is provided. The filtration system utilizes a pump placed within or along a watering bowl. The water filtration system also utilizes a multi-stage filtering device. In one aspect, the multi-stage filtering device includes a first filtering stage representing copper zinc alloy particles, and a second filtering stage representing granulated activated carbon particles. Each stage may constitute filtering material that is separated into an array of cells residing along a vertical frame or is separated into stages placed in series within a tubular cartridge. A method for filtering water in a pet fountain is also provided herein.
