A method, controller, computer program and arrangement for barn cleaning obtaining information from one or more cameras mounted to capture images of an area of operation of an automatic barn cleaning device and identifying at least one location in said area of operation being subjected to manure, based on the obtained information. The method further calculates a route for the automatic barn cleaning device based on the identified at least one location, and controls the automatic barn cleaning device based on the calculated route.

A manure scraping assembly includes a scraper that has a first portion forming an angle with a second portion. The scraper is positionable in a pushing position to push manure on the support surface. Conversely, the scraper is positionable in a pulling position to pull manure on the support surface. A handle is removably attached to the scraper and the handle can be gripped by a user thereby facilitating the scraper to be pushed or pulled. The handle angles upwardly at a substantially diagonal axis with respect to the first portion of the scraper when the scraper is positioned in the pushing position. Moreover, the handle angles upwardly at a substantially diagonal axis with respect to the second portion of the scraper when the scraper is positioned in the pulling position.

Manure collecting device, comprising a manure pick-up device for picking up manure from a floor of an animal accommodation, and a reservoir for collecting therein manure picked up by the manure pick-up device, wherein the manure pick-up device comprises a housing, comprising a receiving opening to be arranged close to the floor for the purpose of receiving manure in the housing therethrough, a delivery opening arranged close to the reservoir for the purpose of delivering the picked-up manure to the reservoir therethrough, and an at least partially cylindrical inner wall, wherein the inner wall extends at least between the receiving opening and the delivery opening, and a rotatably movable body with a central shaft and at least one arm extending radially relative to the shaft between the shaft and the inner wall, wherein the manure pick-up device is configured such that, while the body moves in rotating manner, the manure is picked up close to the receiving opening by means of the arm and is transported through the housing to the reservoir in co-action with the inner wall.

A litter box sifting assembly for sifting cat feces and clumps from cat litter includes a plurality of mesh panels that is stacked upon each other. The plurality of mesh panels are positionable on a bottom of a litter box thereby facilitating cat litter to be poured over the plurality of mesh panels. Each of the mesh panels has a plurality of grip points each integrated into the mesh panels and each of the grip points on a topmost one of the plurality of mesh panels can be gripped for lifting the topmost mesh panel upwardly. Furthermore, each of the mesh panels is comprised of a mesh material to sift cat feces and clumps from the cat litter when the mesh panels are lifted upwardly through the cat litter. In this way the cat feces and clumps can be removed from the litter box in a single motion.
