An improved biosecurity livestock floor system for safely supporting and farrowing livestock. The floor system improves the safety of the livestock and the user. The floor system includes a containment area with containment panels, and a safety area with safety area floor panels, which house an animal and is adjoined, and separated, by the Flying-W configuration of the rib structure. This configuration protects offspring of the animal in the adjoining safety area from being injured or killed.

A feeder system for feeding and nurturing livestock is presented. The feeder system improves the safety of the livestock by providing a bio-secure device for feeding livestock. The feeder system provides a means for feeding an animal confined in an area, cleaning the area, and replenishing feed without requiring removal of the animal from the confined area. The feeder system is especially adapted for an improved biosecurity livestock confinement crate and floor system.

A deployable corral system for a transport trailer, such as a livestock trailer, provides a readily deployable corral along the trailer, and is readily stowable along the trailer in a retracted configuration for travel. The corral includes a pair of spaced-apart and extendable corral rails with a cross-rail extending between distal ends of the extendable corral rails. When the extendable corral rails are extended the cross-rail is spaced from an exterior side of the livestock trailer, and when the extendable corral rails are retracted the cross-rail is positioned near a roof of the trailer. The extendable corral rails move between the extended and retracted positions manually, or automatically with a drive system. Optionally, the drive system is powered by motors associated with linear or rotary actuators. Further options may include storage bins along the cross-rail, a deployable shade awning, a deployable trough, jack stands, securing flaps, and position sensors.

A stall divider suitable for free stall stables including a vertical support member, a lower member extending away from the support member, an upper member extending away from the support member, and a crossing member extending perpendicularly to the upper member. The crossing member is made of a bendable or deflectable material and has a hollow or solid structure. The lower member, the upper member, and the crossing member include a soft or elastic outer layer. The construction of the stall divider increases the comfort and the welfare of the animals.

A shipping container for livestock having a plurality of walls, a container roof and a container floor enclosing an interior storage space. The front wall may include a container door and one or more of the sidewalls may be mounted with one or more column support plates that support web support plates. A floating partition, end wing, loft and feed troughs may be mounted with the web support plates. Additionally, the floating partition may be tilted inward to efficiently divide space and provide access to the loft. A catwalk may also be mounted with the floating partition.

A deployable corral system for a transport trailer, such as a livestock trailer, provides a readily deployable corral along the trailer, and is readily stowable along the trailer in a retracted configuration for travel. The corral includes a pair of spaced-apart and pivotably-extendable corral rails with a cross-rail extending between distal ends of the extendable corral rails. When the extendable corral rails are extended the cross-rail is spaced from an exterior side of the livestock trailer, and when the extendable corral rails are retracted the cross-rail is positioned near a roof of the trailer. A drive system is operable to move the extendable corral rails between the extended and retracted positions. Optionally, the drive system is powered by motors associated with linear or rotary actuators. Further options may include storage bins along the cross-rail, a deployable shade awning, and a deployable trough.

An environment-friendly piggery comprises at least one circular or polyhedral piggery building. Each polyhedron has five sides or more, and a ventilation shaft is provided in the middle of each floor of each piggery building; each floor tilts from high to low towards the ventilation shaft from the outer edge; the top of each piggery building is provided with a exhaust gas collecting and treatment device communicating with the ventilation shaft; and the bottom of the buildings are provided with pig excreta collecting devices corresponding to the opening of the ventilation shaft. The piggery occupies a small area, has strong wind and snow resistant functions, and is sturdy and durable. The culturing process is pollution-free, and piglets, pigs, and sows can be accommodated appropriately.

A multi-pet locking-head-and-locking-tail-push-rod pet crate comprises: a handle bridge, a handle channel molded inside the handle bridge for containing grooming tools, handle clasps respectively molded in the handle bridge for fastening poop bags thereto, a top panel, a bottom panel, a left panel, a right panel, a front panel, a rear panel, at least one divider, panel-locking hooks and clamps for hooking and clamping the panels together, a slanted tray for draining urine, urine-storing gutters and ridges molded around the tray for supporting pet paws and for keeping pets away from urine, top and bottom low-friction rails welded to the front panel, multi-position door-glider-locking recesses formed in the bottom low-friction rail for locking the auto-indexing multi-position door gliders and for adjusting horizontal or slanted and stationary or moving positions of the auto-indexing multi-position doors, first and second auto-indexing multi-position doors inserted between the top and bottom low-friction rails, first and second auto-indexing multi-position door gliders respectively cast to the first and second doors for horizontally or slantedly being locked in the multi-position door-glider-locking recesses to horizontally or slantedly lock said first and the second doors in multiple horizontal or slanted and stationary or moving positions, first and second push-rods respectively and movably attached to the first and second doors, first and second door-locking push-rod heads respectively cast to the first and second push-rods for locking the first and second doors together, and first and second multi-position door-locking push-rod tails respectively cast to the first and second push-rods for locking and aligning the first and second doors to the front panel and for adjusting multiple positions of the first and second doors.

A method of feeding a carnivore by untrained persons while providing safety the animal and the person feeding the animal. An enclosure for the animal has a transparent or substantially transparent barrier observation barrier. The observation barrier has a void formed therein into which a piece of meat may be pushed, such as by pushing with a finger of a person. The piece of meat is elongated and may be pushed through the void until a portion of the meat exits the void on the side of the barrier in which the carnivore is located. The void is of sufficient length that the user's finger will not exit the void on the side of the barrier in which the carnivore is located. The transparent or substantially transparent barrier provides the illusion that the person is feeding the animal by hand.
