The temperature measurement device includes a thermography 20 for measuring a temperature distribution of a predetermined range in a non-contact manner; a calibrator 21 including at least one heater 30 able to generate heat to a preset temperature; thermistors 32a to 32d provided on installation points on the calibrator 21, and measuring temperatures at the installation points, the installation points having different temperatures; and a controller 22 for calibrating a first temperature measurement result obtained from a temperature distribution of a range covering an object (an eye E of a calf C) measured by the thermography 20, based on temperature differences between a second temperature measurement result obtained from a temperature distribution of a range covering the calibrator 21 measured by the thermography 20 and a third temperature measurement result obtained from a temperature distribution of the calibrator 21 measured by the thermistors 32a to 32d.

METHODS FOR FEEDING SOWS AND FOR IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF YOUNG PIGLETS

A method of improving the health of a first group of young monogastric mammals, the first group of young monogastric mammals nursing from a first lactating monogastric mammal during a pre-weaning period, the method including feeding the first lactating monogastric mammal an effective amount of an animal feed during the pre-weaning period, and feeding the first lactating monogastric mammal an effective amount of sugar alcohol during the pre-weaning period.

Grazing system and method

A circular grazing system for poultry and/or livestock. The circular grazing system including a center pivot structure installed at a field. The center pivot structure may have a center pivot axis. The field may be a poultry and/or livestock grazing field. The circular grazing system for poultry and/or livestock may include an enclosure for containing poultry and/or livestock. The enclosure may extend generally radially from the center pivot structure to a circumference of the field. The enclosure may be rotably coupled to the center pivot structure such that the enclosure rotates around the center pivot axis.
