A system and process for low flow water monitoring in agriculture that measures water consumption at an individual bird/animal/plant level by weighing water in a controlled sealed environment. The system and process include a pressure regulation device fluidly connected to one or more reservoir tanks filled with water. The pressure regulation device is adjustable allowing for different output pressures suitable for many different agriculture applications.

A kennel for dogs comprising at a least one perimeter wall covered at the top by at least one roof; at least one internal flooring defining, together with the perimeter wall, at least one housing area for at least one dog, the perimeter wall being provided with at least one access opening which the dog can pass through to gain access to the housing area; at least one monitoring system of the health status of the dog; at least one electronic processing and control unit operationally linked to the monitoring system.

An automatic self-cleaning and self-filling outdoor fluid feeding system for an animal, including for example a pet, includes a sink; a fluid transport system; a housing supporting the sink and containing the fluid transport system; and a control assembly configured to control the automatic self-cleaning and self-filling operations of the system.

In one aspect, the present disclosure is directed to preventing or lessening ice in remote water tanks. The remote water tanks can include a body at least partially defining a chamber that receives a liquid and having an open top portion that provides one or more animals access to the liquid. Further, a heat exchanger can be at least partially received within the chamber, and can receive a thermal transfer fluid that is circulated therethrough to maintain a temperature of the liquid in the chamber. Also, an external heat collector can be in fluid communication with the heat exchanger to transfer solar or other heat to the thermal transfer fluid as the thermal transfer fluid is circulated therethrough.

A feeder and watering apparatus for pigs and a method for rehabilitating a fallback pig and preventing the fallback of a weaned pig is disclosed. A pair of semi-cylindrical troughs are mounted to either side of a fluid supply line. The troughs have a rooting protector mounted to the open portion of the trough, the rooting protector has a pair of longitudinally extending bars and multiple rung portions that are longitudinally spaced apart to provide a plurality of discrete eating areas. The troughs have a front wall portion that is lower than the rear wall portion to prevent feed from spilling over the rear wall. Multiple waterer nipples extend horizontally through holes in the rear wall. A quick-connect floor mount is rotatably mounted to the fluid supply line, with a handle that allows a retaining portion to lock the apparatus in cooperation with floor slats.

A system for milking a group of animals, in particular cows, comprises an accommodation space for keeping the animals. The accommodation space is configured such that the animals can walk around freely in the accommodation space, and contains fixed milking stations. The milking stations each comprise an entry opening for entry of a milking animal from the accommodation space to the milking station. The entry openings of the milking stations are permanently open. An automatic milking system is provided for automatic milking of animals present in the milking stations. The milking stations comprise a drinking system which is configured to provide water for the animals. The drinking system of the milking stations is the only drinking facility for the animals to meet their daily water needs. The accommodation space is configured such that the animals in the accommodation space can walk freely from the accommodation space to each entry opening.
