A system for heating animals. The heating system uses an elongated curved reflector around an elongated infrared light source to reflect heat off of the elongated curved reflector and onto piglets provided in the piglet creep of a farrowing crate. The system has a reduced thermal gradient to efficiently transfer heat to animals, such as piglets, without overheating other nearby animals, such as sows.

The invention comprises a pet carrier that can be used on the front or back of the pet owner’s body and is designed for both durability and comfort. Clear mesh panels allow the pet to see out, and the entire padded bottom panel is expandable by unzipping the panel which then expands the height of the carrier to allow for more room. The bottom widens to 8.5 cm, which is a full 5 cm difference.

The present invention relates to a formulation that can be utilised to facilitate expression of natural behaviour in pigs, and in particular sows and weaners and a method which utilises the formulation for the same.

A pig production method by using a detachable and washable wet curtain for intensive pig farming The detachable and washable wet curtain includes a wet curtain mounting frame (1), a spray tube (4), a plurality of rotatable reels (7) equivalent to sleeves, a reel (6) with a buckle, a wet curtain net (8), a reel (10) with a buckle, and a manual handle (9). The wet curtain is formed by a low-cost common material, namely a plastic net and the like, is convenient to mount, detach, and wash, and is not prone to making dust, scale, algae, mosquitos, and the like accumulate thereon, thus reducing the replacement cost and use cost. Therefore, a new cooling method based on the wet curtain is provided for pig farms in summer, and it is also suitable for other livestock farms in summer.

Provided herein are animal containment cage bases and covers that can be nested to disengage and/or collapse one or more cage components or one or more cage component mount members from a cage base or cage cover. Also provided herein are methods of removing cage components or cage component mount members from cage bases and cage covers by nesting. Also provided herein, is a detachable animal containment cage component grommet and methods of use thereof.

A pet seat system, apparatus, and method for attaching to a chair. A pet sidecar apparatus is disclosed that includes a basket, a platform configured to support the basket, and one or more straps configured to attach the pet sidecar apparatus to the side of a chair. The pet sidecar apparatus provides a comfortable area for a pet to sit while at the level of the human user. The pet sidecar apparatus moves with a rollable desk chair and does not impede the motion of the desk chair while the human user is able to sit in the desk chair. The pet sidecar apparatus has an easily cleanable universal design that can fit a variety of desk chairs and is safe for both the pet and the human user.

A pet stroller includes a stroller frame and an entrance arrangement. The stroller frame includes a foldable frame, a boundary frame supported by the foldable frame, and a handle frame upwardly extended from the foldable frame, wherein the boundary frame includes a U-shaped boundary member defining a pet seating area and a front entrance. The entrance arrangement includes a front entrance member movably coupled at two front ends of the boundary member respectively to move between an uplift position and a drop down position. At the uplift position, the front entrance member is lifted upwardly to form a front boundary of the boundary frame for blocking the front entrance, and at the drop down position, the front entrance member is dropped down to enlarge the front entrance for accessing the pet seating area.

A separating device for forming a standing area for livestock, in particular pigs, and for reducing emissions in pens, in particular in pig pens, comprises a base frame, a drainage element with a plurality of drainage channels which each comprise an outflow end, and shoulders, between which the plurality of drainage channels extends orthogonally to a drainage direction, a liquid-permeable endless belt with an upper run and a lower run, wherein the drainage element is arranged on the base frame such that a drainage direction of the plurality of drainage channels is directed in the direction of the outflow end.
