METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DELIVERING FLUID DROPLETS ONTO AN OPEN AND STATIONARY TRAY
The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for delivering droplets of fluids onto an open tray containing poultry. According to the invention, the apparatus includes a stationary working surface, a single arm carrying a plurality of fluid dispensing nozzles, a drive unit comprising an electric motor for driving the translation of said single arm, said plurality of dispensing nozzles being connected to at least one fluid supply circuit comprising a fluid reservoir for supplying dispensing nozzles, the volume of fluid drawn from said reservoir being determined by a syringe, movement of the plunger of which is controlled by an electrical control element so that the plunger has a feed velocity V in the corresponding syringe. The apparatus also includes a controller for controlling the motor speed and the plunger feed velocity, said controller being configured to synchronize the acceleration/deceleration of the movable arm and the acceleration/deceleration of the plunger of said syringe or of at least one of said syringes.

The invention further relates to the use of such a drinking system. The invention also relates to a method for improving a drinking system for example for livestock comprising a dosing system.
BIRD FLUID FEEDER DEVICE
A bird fluid feeder device may include a storage bottle having a bottle cavity and a bottle base, and a liquid tray having a tray support wall and a feed cavity. A base container may be removably coupled to the liquid tray, the base container having a pass-through aperture and a container wall. The container wall may cover the feed cavity, and the bottle base may be received in the pass-through aperture and removably coupled to the tray support wall. At least one container aperture may be disposed in the container wall, and the container apertures may enable fluid communication through the container wall to the feed cavity. The storage bottle, base container, and liquid tray may be supported by a holder bracket having a first upper support arm for contacting the storage bottle and by a lower support arm contacting the liquid tray.
Dual-purpose Portable Water Fountain for Pets
A water fountain for the pets may include a water tray, a water bottle and a bottle cap. The water fountain include two supporting wings, a connecting piece and a hose, the two supporting wings are hinged with two sides of the water tray respectively, a first end of the connecting piece is in connection with the water bottle and in communication with an inner part of the water bottle, a second end of the connecting piece is in connection with the bottle cap and in communication with an inner part of the bottle cap. a first end of the hose is in connection with the bottle cap and in communication with the inner part of the bottle cap, a second end of the hose is arranged inside the water tray. The water fountain not only prevent the water tray from being turned over, but also is convenient to carry.
SYSTEM AND PROCESS FOR LOW FLOW WATER MONITORING IN AGRICULTURE
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.
