The present invention is directed to a method of treating poultry hatchlings in a hatchling tray. The method comprises of providing a soft gel form capable of being dispensed through a spray nozzle, providing a spray dispensing apparatus, the apparatus being capable of delivering a predetermined volume of the gel as a plurality of small beadlets through a plurality of nozzles, placing the hatchling tray containing the hatchlings beneath the nozzles of the dispensing apparatus, dispensing the predetermined volume of the soft gel containing the therapeutic agent as small beadlets into the hatchling tray and allowing the hatchlings to consume the beadlets. The present invention is also directed to a dispensing apparatus for dispensing a therapeutic agent in a soft gel into a hatchling tray of poultry hatchlings.

A device to inject a composition into an egg includes a guide member, a first locking member and a second locking member. The guide member includes an outer casing secured to the injection needle and an inner casing which can move in translation inside the outer casing. The inner casing connected to the trocar and comprising a cup configured to bear on the upper part of the egg. The first locking member configured to block the movement of the trocar. The second locking member configured to block the movement of the injection needle inserted into the trocar.

Embodiments described herein provide systems for stimulating a desired response, such as ovulation and egg laying, hunger, growth, mood and sexual maturity in birds, such as chickens, turkeys, ducks, quail and ostrich, by controlling the duty cycle, wavelength band and frequency of photon bursts to a bird, through the high frequency modulation of photons in an individual color spectrum to the bird and duty cycle, where the photon modulation and duty cycle is based upon the specific needs of the bird.

A light fixture attached to an elongate tubular structure includes a baseplate having a pair of tabs extending from its opposing edges. A printed circuit board (PCB) attached to the baseplate has an aperture aligned with an aperture in the baseplate. An array of light emitting diodes (LEDs) are disposed on the PCB. A mounting bracket attached to the baseplate includes a strap and a pair of clips disposed at its opposite ends. Each clip engages one of the tabs to secure the mounting bracket to the baseplate. A pair of clamp arms extend from the strap and engage an arcuate central portion having a curvature that matches the curvature of the elongate tubular structure. An aperture passes through the strap that is aligned with the baseplate aperture. A power cable passes through the strap aperture, the baseplate aperture, and the PCB aperture. The power cable includes power wires that are electrically connected to the PCB for providing power to the LEDs. A protective cover protects the baseplate and the PCB, and provides for transmission of light from the LEDs.

A method of applying at least one product to poultry (e.g., chicken) via the cloaca. The method includes (i) stimulating cloacal drinking behavior of the poultry by blowing air on the cloaca, and (ii) spraying the at least one product on and/or around the cloaca to allow for the at least one product to enter the lower gastrointestinal tract of the poultry through cloacal drinking. The at least one product includes, for example, probiotics, vaccines, nutrients, supplements, and combinations thereof. The poultry includes, for example, newly hatched baby chicks, poults, or ducklings.
