A poultry coop carriage and rail system comprises a movable poultry coop that may be maneuverable between various positions on an area of land. The poultry coop is moved from one position to another to allow for management and cleaning of the land beneath the poultry coop when moved. Methods of using the same are further provided.

The invention consists of a mounting plate and a cage. The mounting plate is mounted on the back of a riding mower. The mounting plate is made out of a flat piece of metal with the edges turned at right angle. The edges have openings and slots. Openings on the flat portion attach the mounting plate to the riding mower with bolts. A blower is placed in the cage. The cage is made out of four metal tubes and a platform. An attaching plate attaches the metal tubes and the platform to the mounting plate. The attaching plates have a set of opening and pins. The cage is attached to mounting plate by placing pins on the attaching plate within the slots on the mounting plate. A clovis pins is placed through openings on mounting plate and the attaching plate to hold cage on the mounting plate.

A livestock enclosure enabling transfer of livestock from one compartment to a second compartment for purposes of cleaning one compartment is shown and described. The livestock enclosure has a feeder adjustable to make feed accessible to livestock in each one of the compartments at any one time, and gates or other closure for enabling livestock to migrate between the two compartments. Operating personnel can allow the adjustable feeder to be exhausted of feed and to open a gate to the other enclosure to encourage livestock to change compartments. The gate may be closed after the transfer to enable the operating personnel to clean the vacated compartment. The feeder can be adjusted or repositioned to serve either compartment. Optionally, both compartments may also have a non-adjustable principal feeder. Optionally, the livestock enclosure may include a roof and full height walls and motorized control of gates and the adjustable feeder.

A method is provided, wherein the eggs which are pre-incubated in setter trays are transferred to the poultry house in these setter trays. In the poultry house, a layer of insulating covering material is provided on the floor of the poultry house, in one or more strips. The covering material comprises, in particular, litter which is applied in a layer thickness of at least 2 cm. By a set of egg pickup members of a transfer machine, the pre-incubated eggs are removed in the poultry house from the setter trays, after which they are positioned on the covering material by the transfer machine. In this way, the eggs can be placed in the poultry house efficiently, with a minimal risk of damage to the eggs a high hatching rate being ensured.

Methods and systems that provide light sources in various areas of an animal enclosure to encourage or discourage animal behaviors. Different wavelengths or intensities of light are provided in various areas of the enclosure such that the animals, for example avian, in the enclosure are encouraged to occupy or not occupy the various areas. Lighting schedules for individual areas can be off-set from one another to encourage movement of the animals to different levels and preventing grouping or piling of the animals from occurring. The lighting schedules can be such that desirable or undesirable wavelengths or intensities of light, as perceived by the animals, are provided to different areas or levels at random times and for random durations during a day. Thus, the animal movement around the enclosure during the day is encouraged, clustering of animals in a single area is discouraged, and the welfare of the animals is improved.
