A leech therapy device adapted to latch a medicinal leech to a predetermined wound site is provided. The leech therapy device includes a conduit extending between a first end to a second end; an inner diameter of the conduit dimensioned to receive a medicinal leech, the inner diameter being less than twice a girth of the medicinal leech; and a cutout provided in the conduit closer to the first end than the second end; the cutout extending over a surface area between 100 and 150 squared millimeters. Wherein a user places a medicinal leech into the inner diameter, wherein a head of the medicinal leech is adjacent to the cutout, and then the user selectively positions said leech therapy device so that the cutout substantially circumscribed the wound site so that the medicinal leech can engage the wound site.

A large animal lifting and moving apparatus includes a frame having a front end and a rear end, the frame, a drive shaft rotatably coupled to the frame, a drive motor coupled to the frame and operatively coupled to the drive shaft; the drive motor selectively powered by a power source, and one or more roller chains coupled to the drive shaft. The frame is structured to support a large animal between the front end and the rear end and structured to be moved during operation of the large animal lifting and moving apparatus. When the drive motor is powered by the power source, the drive motor drives the drive shaft and the roller chains coupled to the drive shaft.

The present disclosure provides generally for an improved system to constrain animals. More specifically, the present disclosure describes an animal safety constraint system that may be used to safely and securely restrain animals, such as for grooming, veterinary inspection, or shearing, as non-limiting examples. The animal safety constraint system may be customized to according to the needs of the user or the occupant. The animal safety constraint system may be mobile or stationary, depending on the configuration the user sets up for the animal safety constraint system.

An animal treatment and handling device and method includes a fabric bag sized and shaped to receive the animal's torso and legs therein, with dorsal and ventral surfaces extending longitudinally from an anterior to a posterior end. The bag includes an adjustable collar at the anterior end, and a first zipper extending along the dorsal surface from an anterior end portion to a posterior end portion. An integral, elongated outer wrap extends transversely with a length sufficient to be wrapped around the bag and the animal therein to impart a uniform, calming pressure to the animal's thorax. A plurality of alternately openable and closable doors provide physician access to the animal through the bag and through the outer wrap.

A vaccination system for delivering a vaccine substance to avian pullets is provided. Such a system includes a vaccine delivery assembly configured to perform a vaccine delivery procedure for delivering a vaccine substance to the avian pullets. A plurality of positioning devices is provided, with each positioning device receiving an avian pullet for presentation to the vaccine delivery assembly. Each positioning device is transported to individually mate with the vaccine delivery assembly to deliver the vaccine substance during the vaccine delivery procedure. Associated methods, devices, and assemblies are also provided.
