An intra-orifice medicament delivery system and formation method involve a housing defining an inner chamber extending along a longitudinal axis, with the chamber wall defining one or more openings therethrough. A retention arrangement extends from the housing, and is adapted to removably retain the housing within a bodily orifice defined by an orifice wall. An osmotic delivery device is disposed within the chamber and includes an osmogen portion and medicament-including portion disposed within a semipermeable membrane. The osmogen portion expands and applies pressure to the medicament-including portion in response to absorption of a liquid from within the bodily orifice permeating through the semipermeable membrane. The medicament-including portion is arranged to emit a medicament in response to the pressure applied by the expanded osmogen portion, with the medicament exiting through a membrane orifice defined by the semipermeable membrane and subsequently exiting the housing through the one or more openings such that the medicament is delivered into the bodily orifice.

Surgical instruments suitable for use during surgical procedures. The surgical instruments include first and second halves coupled together at a pivot so that the halves define a handle and functional portions at proximal and distal ends of the instrument, respectively. The functional portion terminates at a blunt distal end and includes scissors, a base section disposed between the scissors and blunt distal end and having a first clamping feature, a tapering section disposed between the first clamping feature and blunt distal end and having gripping features, and opposing tips disposed between the tapering section and distal end of the instrument and having second clamping features.

A pygmy goat and small breed livestock birthing aid to assist in the positioning of the newborn during the birthing process. The birthing aid includes a flexible cable, at least one flexible sleeve, and a cable clamp. The flexible cable is slideably inserted into the at least one flexible sleeve, such that there is a loop portion and a handle portion of the flexible cable opposite each other along the at least one flexible sleeve. The loop portion is placed over the neck of the newborn in the birthing process and the user pulls gently on the handle portion tightening the loop portion about the newborn. After gently guiding the newborn into the correct birthing, the user removes the birthing aid and manually assists the birthing process if necessary.

Mounting behavior or the like by domestic animals or the like is easily detected. Included are a mounting-side apparatus attached to the neck of a first domestic animal and configured to emit a transmission signal, and a mounted-side apparatus attached at any position from the back to the tail of a second domestic animal. A communication interface of the mounted-side apparatus emits a response signal to a communication interface of the mounting-side apparatus.
