Embodiments include animal feed preparation systems and methods. In an embodiment, a method of administering fine particulates with a total mixed ration includes adding total mixed ration components to a vessel. The method further includes adding the fine particulates and an aqueous composition to the vessel. The method further includes mixing the aqueous composition, the fine particulates, and the total mixed ration together to form an agglomerated total mixed ration. The method further includes providing the agglomerated total mixed ration to an animal. Other embodiments are also included herein.

A frozen meat treat device and method for freezing the treat in an ice cube includes a treat being an indulgence for a canine or a pet animal. The treat is a cubic shape and is a meat. The meat is baked at a temperature for partially baking the meat thus retaining a juice of the meat. Furthermore, an ice cube enwraps the treat. The ice cube is a larger cubic shape being large-scaled relative to the cubic shape of the treat. The ice cube includes frozen water and the juice of the meat for quenching a thirst of the canine or the pet animal.

A process to remove the glucosinolates of oilseed meals, such as Brassica carinata oilseed meals, is provided. In one embodiment, exogenous myrosinase is used to convert the glucosinolates to volatile isothiocyanate compounds, which can then be removed under conditions of mild heat and negative pressure. In another embodiment, heat and pressure are used to remove glucosinolates from Brassica carinata oilseed. The processed meals may contain less than 80% of their starting levels of glucosinolates and may be suitable for use in various applications, including as animal feeds.

Embodiments disclosed include systems, apparatus, and/or methods to receive a target health status of and/or quality of bioproduct produced by a managed livestock and indications of health status and quality of bioproduct. The systems, apparatus, and/or methods generate a set of input vectors based on the target health status or bioproduct quality, and the indications of bioproduct quality, and health status, and provide the set of input vectors to a machine learning model trained to generate an output indicating a feed selection. The feed selection can be included in a feed blend and administered to the managed livestock, such that, upon consumption, it increases a likelihood of collectively improving the health status of the managed livestock and the bioproduct quality of the managed livestock.

A control system for mixing materials having a container to receive the materials, agitators, a driveline to drive the agitators at an output speed with an output torque, an power source to provide an input speed with an input torque, a continuously variable transmission that connects the driveline and the power source, and an electronic control unit configured to adjust a speed ratio of the continuously variable transmission to provide a linear relationship between the input torque and the output torque with a slope, when the input torque is below a control input threshold, and to follow a corrected linear relationship between the input torque and the output torque with a corrected slope smaller than the slope when the input torque is above the control input threshold.

An agricultural system for generating food and fuel products includes an arrangement for supplying grain, wherein the agricultural system includes a hydroponics arrangement for receiving the supplied grain and for germinating and growing the supplied grain in a light-excluded environment in one or more hydroponics trays to generate plant growth material, and a harvesting arrangement for receiving the plant growth material and processing the plant growth material to generate corresponding livestock feed. The hydroponics arrangement includes a gaseous fumigation arrangement for gaseously fumigating the supplied grain during growing of the grain in the light-excluded environment. The gaseous fumigation arrangement is operable to employ ozone gas for fumigating the supplied grain to reduce growth of mould in the plant growth material.

An appliance for preparing animal feed, includes a housing, a mixing chamber designed to receive a portion of dehydrated feed and a liquid portion, mobile mixer arranged in the mixing chamber, a consumption chamber, wherein the mixing chamber is removable from the preparation appliance, wherein the mixing chamber, once mounted on the preparation appliance: is rotatable in order to pass from a position mixing the feed ration to a position dispensing the feed ration, and has a gripping portion which protrudes from the housing.

A preparation apparatus for preparing feed for animals, includes a first storage container for storing a dehydrated feed, a second storage container for storing a liquid such as water, mixing chamber, a mixer for mixing the dehydrated feed and the liquid in order to form a feed ration in paste form, and a consumption container arranged to receive the feed ration, wherein the mixing chamber includes an opening, the mixing chamber is mounted movable relative to the preparation apparatus, so as to move from a first position to a second position.

Provided is an ice candy forming tool for pets which can form an ice candy simply and reliably, and the formed ice candy can be properly fed to pets. An ice candy forming tool for pets, which comprises an ice candy holding part comprising guard having first surface and second surface, grip which is connected to the first surface, and ice candy holding piece which is connected to the second surface, and a body part comprising concave portion and opening; wherein the guard has a notch which is provided on circumferential edge of the guard and communicates the first surface with the second surface.

A livestock feed production apparatus for generating feed for livestock, wherein the livestock feed production arrangement includes an arrangement for supplying seeds. The livestock feed production apparatus includes a hydroponics arrangement for receiving the supplied seeds and for germinating and growing the supplied seeds in a light-excluded environment in one or more trays to generate plant growth material, and a harvesting arrangement for receiving the plant growth material and processing the plant growth material to generate the corresponding livestock feed for livestock. Moreover, the livestock feed production apparatus includes an irrigation arrangement that is operable to expose the supplied seeds to one or more drying steps during growth of the seeds temporally interposed between one or more wet steps during which the seeds are exposed to at least one nutrient solution.
