A syringe holder assembly that safely and conveniently supports a syringe when it is not being used so as to keep the syringe clean and ready to use with little wasted motion. The syringe holder is configured for holding a syringe having a barrel and a handle and includes a syringe holder and a harness. The syringe holder includes a base configured to be mounted to a ferromagnetic structure; an arm pivotably connected to the base; and a holster connected to the arm. The harness is configured to be secured to the syringe and includes a main strap configured to encircle the barrel of the syringe to retain the harness on the syringe; and a magnet configured to magnetically attach the harness to the holster.

A remote delivery device is provided which has media portholes in a sidewall, a tail piece attached to a rear end and a cannula attached to a front end. The body contains a plunger assembly which defines an injectable liquid chamber and a marking media chamber. The plunger assembly includes a front barbell plunger, rear barbell plunger and a plunger shaft with an O-Ring seated between the front and rear of said plunger shaft. The body also contains a single internal charge positioned behind the plunger assembly. When the charge is activated, the plunger assembly is thrust forwardly and dispenses an injectable liquid from the injectable liquid chamber through the cannula. Simultaneously, the plunger assembly also dispenses a marking media from the marking media chamber through marking media portholes. The provision of a single internal charge allows for a reduction in the length and weight of the device. The single internal charge provides evidence of successful injection of the injectable liquid when the media is displaced from the marking media chamber.

Method and device to inject fluid into animals through a sterile needle, requiring control of fluid volume, flow rate of injection, accuracy of injection site, depth of penetration, disposal administration of consumable materials and quality control of the fluid and fluid administration using a portable applicator controlled by an external software controlled pump and controller system used in administering fluid medications, organic castration compounds and other fluids to be administered to live animals.

A fish handling apparatus comprises a supply arrangement arranged to supply a plurality of fish and a receiving arrangement arranged to receive and distribute a single fish of the plurality of fish. A conveying device is arranged between the supply arrangement and the receiving arrangement. The conveying device is further arranged to remove the single fish from the plurality of fish received by the supply arrangement and to convey the single fish to the receiving arrangement. A suction system is operably engaged with the conveying device and is arranged to apply suction to the single fish via the conveying device so as to attract the single fish into engagement with the conveying device. An associated method is also provided.

A double barreled injector assembly for performing multiple sequential vaccinations includes a pair of barrels, each of which is engaged by a first terminus thereof to a bar and extends from a lower face thereof. A respective agent can be positioned in each barrel. Each barrel has an orifice positioned in a second terminus thereof. A pair of actuators is engaged to an upper face of the bar. Each actuator is operationally engaged to a respective barrel and can be actuated by action of a hand of a user to dispense an associated agent through the orifice of the respective barrel into an animal. The injector assembly allows the user to perform multiple sequential vaccinations with two different vaccines and will be useful in vaccination of herds or flocks of livestock, such as poultry, cattle, and the like.

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.
