A removably attachable insulator having a jacket adapted to slide over a container for keeping the contents of the container at or near a predetermined temperature is provided. The jacket may include heating elements attached thereto for heating the container. A control circuitry is also integrated with the jacket, the control circuitry providing a thermostat adapted to set and control the temperature through operatively associating with the heating elements. The jacket and container may become removably attached through the use of detachable fasteners integrated with the container and or the jacket.

There is provided a heated livestock waterer having a heater chamber, a heater disposed in the heater chamber that, in operation, generates at least heated gas, and a water reservoir having at least one sidewall that is in thermal communication with the heater chamber, the water reservoir having an animal watering section and a covered section covered by a lid, the lid and the covered section defining an air space that is in fluid communication with the heater chamber via an air passage, the air space having a vent to atmosphere.

An animal watering system can be used to water poultry for extended periods of time without operator attention. An upper reservoir is electrically heated with a waterproof resistance heater. A lid allows filling from the top. A four legged (metal) stand supports the reservoir above the ground. A plumbing tree connects at the bottom and has a shut off valve, an easy to clean filter and a float switch valve which keeps the water level constant in a trough located under the stand. The trough is preferably supported above ground by a (circular) base which can have its own electric heater. The float switch prevents any trough water from flowing upward into the reservoir. The plumbing tree has a hose inlet used for filling or cleaning.

The present disclosure provides a water discharge valve, including a base, a threaded seat, a fixing column, an outer housing, and a top cover, the base is fixed with the threaded seat, a bottom of the threaded seat is fixed with the top portion of the base, the threaded seat is formed with a connecting column, an outer sidewall of the connecting column is formed with an external thread, a top portion of the threaded seat is provided with a connecting column, the fixing column is hollow, and a bottom of the fixing column defines an opening, a lower portion of an inner wall of the fixing column is formed with an internal thread, the threaded seat is threadedly connected with the fixing column, a first sliding rail and a second sliding rail are arranged on the fixing column, the first sliding rail faces the second sliding rail.

The present disclosure discloses a pet water filter cartridge, which specifically relates to the field of filtration technology for pet drinking water and aquatic aquaculture water, including a water filter cartridge carrier and a filter material. The water filter cartridge carrier is composed of a non-woven cotton hot pressed base and a non-woven cotton cover, the base is provided with an accommodation chamber. The accommodation chamber is provided with the filter material, the non-woven cotton cover is sealed at an opening of the accommodation chamber. The present disclosure directly uses non-woven cotton heat pressed filter cartridge carrier with various shapes, the entire filter cartridge is made of a filtering material. The materials used are all involved in water filtration, no excess plastic skeleton or trays are used as the filter cartridge carrier, which can reduce the pressure of emissions on the environment and be more environmentally friendly.

A device for dispensing material consumed by an animal and monitoring the animal's consumption of the material, includes a sensor, a valve, and a controller. The sensor is operable to sense an amount of a material that is held in a container and to be consumed by an animal. The valve is operable to control the flow of the material into the container from a source of the material. The controller is coupled with the sensor and with the valve, and operable to direct the valve to open in response to the sensor sensing an amount of material in the container being less than a minimum amount. The controller is also operable to direct the valve to close in response to the sensor sensing an amount of material in the container being above a maximum amount. The maximum amount of material that triggers the controller to direct the valve to close is greater than the minimum amount of material that triggers the controller to direct the valve to open. With the ability to sense the amount of material held in a container, as opposed to sensing that the amount of material held in the container does equal a predetermined amount, the minimum amount of material that triggers the controller to direct the valve to open may be substantially less than the maximum amount of material that triggers the controller to direct the valve to close. This allows one to track remotely an animal's consumption, and based on changes in the consumption, generate and send an alert concerning the animal's health to one not located with animal.

The disclosure relates to a pet drinking bowl, particularly a self-filling and self-cleaning pet drinking bowl with a sealing door, a removable drinking bowl, and at least one removable cleaning and/or filling nozzles aligned around and above the removable drinking bowl. Other versions may have removable cleaning and/or filling nozzles in the sealing lid. The pet drinking bowl is filled by means of water pressure from a residential water circuit distributed by means of a series of solenoid valves and is drained via a pump plumbed to the residential drain line. The pump drains the pet drinking bowl by means of a multi-stage drain with at least two settings: partially open and fully open.
