Provided is a rotatable surgical apparatus and accompanying method for processing a specimen via the rotatable surgical apparatus. The surgical apparatus may include a base member and a platform member where the platform member and base member abut. Each of the base member and platform member may define one or more channel. The one or more base channels may be in fluid communication with the one or more platform channels. A nozzle may be disposed on the top surface of the platform member, in fluid communication with the at least one platform channel and may administer anesthetic to a specimen.

Various implementations include an extended repeated-use table cover device. The device includes a roller, a non-silicone mat, an enclosure, a table mount, and a winding mechanism. An outer surface of the roller is coupled to a first mat end such that rotation of the roller about a roller axis causes the mat to wind around the outer surface of the roller. An outer surface of the enclosure defines an opening extending from the outer surface to a cavity defined by an inner surface of the enclosure. The roller is disposed within the cavity, and the mat is extendable through the opening. The cavity is fillable with a cleaning liquid. The winding mechanism is for rotating the roller from an extended position to a retracted position. The mat is durable enough to be used for at least three months under expected standard use without needing to be replaced.

A padded table for animal massage or body work having a flat square working surface with diagonally situated bumper pads supported on 4 sets of attached folding legs. Table construction includes two adjacent parallel sections joined in the middle with a piano-type hinge so that it may be closed and moved or carried easily as like a suitcase or unfolded to form a flat working surface. The double leg support structure on both sides of the adjacent parallel sections distributes the weight of animals who may move continually across the sections providing unique stability.

Systems and method for optical imaging of an animal include a body conforming animal mold, which is shaped and sized to hold an animal in an immobilized and geometrically defined position and a gantry, which can include multiple optical mirrors to provide for simultaneous imaging of multiple different views of an animal within a body conforming animal mold.

A system for use in positioning and restraining an equine hoof during imaging, with at least one panic-releasable connection. The system may comprise an equine boot and an interface plate attached to the underside thereof, a receiver plate attached to a limb placement region of an imaging apparatus, and a placement plate attached to the receiver plate. Further disclosed is use of one or more components apart from the whole system, and methods of use for positioning and restraining an equine hoof during imaging.

A first system for determining the relative health of a chick having a first moving platform to support a chick, a first image capture device, a first database having a library of digital images relating to healthy and unhealthy chicks and a computer processor in communication with the image capture device and database. A second system for determining the gender of a chick includes a second moving platform, a second image capture device, stimuli directed at the chick to cause the chick to open its wings. The second system also includes a second database having wing patterns of male and female chicks of the breed of the chick on the second moving platform and a second computer processor in communication with the second image capture device and the second database.
