A livestock water fountain comprises a first water chamber, a water inlet near the bottom of the first water chamber, and a thermostat in the first water chamber position above the inlet adjacent a preset low-water level in the chamber so as to measure the temperature of the water near the surface of the water. The fountain maybe divided into dual chambers with a wall having a lower passageway for fluid communication which can be plugged to limit water to one of the chambers when water consumption decreases in cold weather.

Probiotic compositions that comprise one or more bacteria species in spore form, a thickener to form a stabilized suspension and to preferably act as a prebiotic, one or more acids or salts of acids, and optionally a water activity reducer. A system for delivering probiotic compositions by gravity feed or non-contact pump to a point of consumption by a plant or animal, preferably in conjunction with acidified drinking water, comprising a collapsible container with attachable tubing that prevent contamination of the probiotic composition within the container. Delivery may be actuated in response to a timer, motion detector, fluid level sensor, RFID tag, or other mechanism to periodically or continuously dispense a dosage of probiotic composition directly to the soil surrounding a plant or to the water or feed for an animal. A method for increasing beneficial bacteria in an animal's GIT comprises adding probiotics to acidified drinking water.

A water fountain for the pets may include a water tray, a water bottle and a bottle cap. The water fountain include two supporting wings, a connecting piece and a hose, the two supporting wings are hinged with two sides of the water tray respectively, a first end of the connecting piece is in connection with the water bottle and in communication with an inner part of the water bottle, a second end of the connecting piece is in connection with the bottle cap and in communication with an inner part of the bottle cap. a first end of the hose is in connection with the bottle cap and in communication with the inner part of the bottle cap, a second end of the hose is arranged inside the water tray. The water fountain not only prevent the water tray from being turned over, but also is convenient to carry.

A pet water dispenser may be configured such that water may fall or may flow along a surface. The pet water dispenser may include a water tank, a pump, a water supply pipe connected to the pump, and a water supply hole communicating with the water supply pipe. A water supply plate having an upper surface over which water supplied from the water supply hole flows and a plate support supporting the water supply plate to be above the water tank. The plate support may be an inclined surface or a vertical surface. When a large amount of water is pumped from the pump, water may drop directly from an edge of the water supply plate through a water guide back into the water tank. When a small amount of water is pumped, water may flow along an outer circumferential surface of the plate support to the water guide.

A system for remote care of an animal includes a water-tight housing with a hardened structural shell defining a chamber for accommodating the animal, a door disposed in the housing providing entry into and exit from the chamber by the animal, a wireless data communication system disposed within the housing and wirelessly communicatively coupled with a global computer network, a mobility portion coupled to the housing and operable to move the housing, and a microprocessor disposed within the housing and in communication with the wireless data communication system and operable to control the mobility portion and the door.

Farm system comprising an area where animals can be, a position determining system to record where at least one animal is and what the identity is of that animal, and a computer system which is communicatively coupled with the position determining system, wherein, in use, the computer system receives information from the position determining system about at least one record of where the at least one animal is and what the identity, wherein the area comprises a multiplicity of subareas, wherein the computer system is provided with information about the subdivision of the area into the subareas and wherein the computer system is configured to process the information received from the position determining system in combination with the information about the subdivision of the area into subareas for obtaining new information and for generating an output signal which represents at least a part of the new information.

A circular grazing system for poultry and/or livestock. The circular grazing system including a center pivot structure installed at a field. The center pivot structure may have a center pivot axis. The field may be a poultry and/or livestock grazing field. The circular grazing system for poultry and/or livestock may include an enclosure for containing poultry and/or livestock. The enclosure may extend generally radially from the center pivot structure to a circumference of the field. The enclosure may be rotably coupled to the center pivot structure such that the enclosure rotates around the center pivot axis.
