A system and method for remote monitoring and command and control of one or many offshore aquafarms is provided. Operators are able to securely access web applications and services hosted in the cloud through which husbandry functions such as feeding fish, cleaning the cage and removing mortalities can be automatically scheduled and executed. Offshore aquafarms relay information, such as environmental sensor data and video feeds back to the cloud to be viewed by the operators.

A sensor device, monitoring device, and method for automatically matching the sensor device attached to an animal with an ID tag attached to the animal, wherein the monitoring device receives information related to the ID tag from an ID reader device and receives sensor device information from the sensor device, where the sensor device information includes a sensor device identity information and an indication that transmission of the sensor device information from the sensor device was triggered by an ID reader device, the ID tag and the sensor device being determined to be attached to the same animal based on time information associated with the information related to the ID tag and the sensor device information.

A method of tracking an animal in a population of animals is disclosed that includes applying a visual identifier to the animal, associating reference identifier data of the visual identifier to animal data of the animal, capturing a digital image of the visual identifier applied to the animal, recognizing the visual identifier by digitally processing the captured digital image, and identifying the animal upon recognition of the visual identifier.

A three-dimensional accelerometer in an animal tag registers a first set of acceleration parameters expressing a respective acceleration of the tag along each of three independent spatial axes. A processor in the tag derives a respective estimated gravity-related component in each parameter in the first set, and compensates for the respective estimated gravity-related components in the first set to obtain a second set of acceleration parameters representing respective accelerations of the animal tag along each of three independent spatial axes each in which the parameter is balanced around a base level with no influence of gravitation. The processor determines behavior-related data of rise-up and/or lie-down movements of an animal carrying the animal tag based on deviations in a single parameter in the second set of acceleration parameters relative to the base level.

The present disclosure relates to devices for controlling pests, and, more specifically, to devices for monitoring and communicating the presence of pests, and eliminating pests. The pest control system comprises a frame configured to be removably positioned in a pest control station, a panel pivotally coupled to the frame, and pest control device positioned in the frame.

A treadmill may include two separate left and right belts rotating around two sets of rollers, four legs having an adjustable height via air suspension to customize an inclination of the treadmill, a thermoelectric assembly, a fragrance assembly having a rotating fragrance cartridge to emit various smells toward a user of the treadmill, a display on which exercise programs are played, and an attachment module having a dispensing tray on which treats are dispensed. A handle of the treadmill may have a sensor to sense a height and front-rear position, and a belt divider provided between the left and right belts may have position or proximity sensors to sense a left-right position. An inclination of the treadmill may be automatically adjusted according to positions detected by the sensors, and the fragrance assembly, attachment module, and inclination may be automatically operated in accordance with an exercise program played on the display.

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 system and method for providing small animal veterinary care is provided. The system and method includes providing an enclosed garage adjacent to a veterinary exam room and the garage includes entry and exit garage doors at opposite ends of the garage. A vehicle holding a small animal is received into the garage through the entry garage door. Without going outside the small animal receives veterinary care, such as outpatient veterinary care, which may occur in the adjacent exam room. Following the provision of care, the vehicle exits the garage through the exit garage door. The garage and the veterinary exam room are located under a common roof, such that the small animal is able to be moved from the vehicle directly into the exam room without going outside.

The present application relates to a pet safety management method and system, computer equipment and a storage medium. The method includes: acquiring a first video comprising a target pet and a target object, the target object being an active object except the target pet; analyzing the first video to determine a first state of the target pet and a second state of the target object; acquiring a surrounding environment video of the target pet if the target pet is determined to be in an initial dangerous state according to the first state and the second state; and analyzing the surrounding environment, determining that the target pet is in a dangerous state if the surrounding environment is an interference-free environment, and controlling an warning device carried by the target pet to send a warning message to timely prevent a pet from being stolen.

The invention provides a sensing system for determining a parameter of a set of animals present on a surface area, wherein the sensing system comprises: a controller; at least one range sensor having a Field-of-View to the surface area; wherein the at least one range sensor is configured to at least continually measure heights of animals of the set of animals passing the Field-of-View during a period of time, and to provide a height signal comprising said measured heights during the period of time; wherein the controller is configured to obtain said height signal, and to determine the parameter of the set of animals based on the measured heights during the period of time.
