A structure of pet comb comprises a case body, an outer lid for covering the placement part, an electric circuit board, an atomizer, a liquid container and a hair comb combined onto the bottom plane of the case body, wherein one end of the case body has an accommodation space, while the other end thereof has a placement part configured with an opening thereon; the liquid container includes at least a liquid and a sponge in contact with the liquid; and the atomizer can contact the sponge held in the liquid container such that, by means of the operation of the atomizer, the liquid on the sponge can be sprayed out through the openings of the accommodation part. Therefore, upon combing a pet's hairs by using the structure of pet comb according to the present invention, with the liquid atomization in the atomizer, it is possible to comb the pet and, at the same time, apply the atomized liquid onto the skin surface of the pet thereby increasing the effect of the liquid.

A system and method for automatically delivering a substance to an animal or fish including a positioning system that positions each animal singularly and a sensor that detects the location of a predetermined targeted area on the animal. The system further includes a delivery device for delivering a substance to the targeted area. The position of the delivery device may be adjustable. The delivery device is in communication with the sensor. The delivery device adjusts its position in response to the data received from the sensor and delivers a substance to the targeted area.

The present invention relates to a control system of an accessory for animals, wherein the accessory comprises: a refillable device for spraying an active agent, the device comprising a container for the active agent and a nebulizer body with a controllable spray mechanism; at least one sensor acquiring measurements relating to the animal wearing the accessory or to the environment thereof; and wherein said control system comprises: a reception unit for receiving data including first data acquired by the at least one sensor; a determination unit for calculating a risk of infestation of the animal by a parasite according to the data received and determining a control law of the spray mechanism according to the risk of infestation thus calculated, so as to obtain a determined control law; anda transmission unit for sending the determined control law to the spray mechanism.

A first system for determining the relative health of a chick having a first moving platform to support a chick, a first image capture device, a first database having a library of digital images relating to healthy and unhealthy chicks and a computer processor in communication with the image capture device and database. A second system for determining the gender of a chick includes a second moving platform, a second image capture device, stimuli directed at the chick to cause the chick to open its wings. The second system also includes a second database having wing patterns of male and female chicks of the breed of the chick on the second moving platform and a second computer processor in communication with the second image capture device and the second database.

Disclosed is a pet device. The pet device may include a housing and a porous element. The housing may define a cavity and including a front portion. The front portion may define a plurality of through holes passing from an exterior surface of the housing to the cavity. The porous element may be size to fit within the cavity. The porous element may be impregnate with a first substance.

A system and method for automatically delivering a substance to an animal including a positioning system that positions each animal singularly, a sensor that detects the location of a predetermined targeted area on the animal and an image processor. The system further includes a delivery device having a plurality of delivery outlets for delivering a substance to the targeted area. The sensor, image processor and delivery device are in communication with a computer processor. The sensor activates the image processor which takes at least one image of the animal positioned singularly. The image is communicated to the computer processor and analyzed. The computer processor activates the delivery outlet proximate the predetermined target area on the animal which delivers an effective dosage of substance to the predetermined targeted area.

A method and system that incorporates spraying logic onto a sensor mat to detect and apply various liquids onto the feet of an animal. Each sensor in the sensor mat activates at least one predetermined spray nozzle application of the medicinal fluid. The system is designated so that each hoof triggers at least two sensors, with each sensor activating at least one spray nozzle. All of the electronic components are located away from the mat and a controller control spaying and timing. Stop bars prevent the mat from compressing beyond a predetermined distance to prevent sensor failure. The sensors have a triple moisture prevention configuration.

The present invention provides an immune response modifier (IRM) composition that includes an IRM moiety and a second active moiety covalently linked to the IRM moiety, wherein the covalent link comprises a labile bond directly attached to the IRM moiety.
