The present disclosure also provides an insect feed composition, particularly to be fed to Tenebrio molitor larvae.

The present invention is a climate controlled and a collapsible pet shelter. The pet shelter includes a collapsible shelter structure and a HVAC system. Collapsible shelter structure is assembled to form a shelter for a pet and in dismantled form shelter structure is collapsible which provides ease for portability. One or more windows are provided that can provide adequate ventilation and can be closed when not desired. HVAC system is used for climate control and regulates/controls temperature within the pet shelter so that pet can comfortably enjoy stay. HVAC system is mainly powered by solar energy and is an independent system. Also, doors with flexible strips are provided that maintain the internal environment of the pet shelter. Also flexible strips provide easy movement of pet in and out of pet shelter.

A livestock stall system which can take measures against the cold of winter and against the heat of summer while preventing worsening of the condition of the litter (the flooring) and maintaining a favorable environment inside the livestock stall. This livestock stall system includes a livestock stall in which livestock is raised, and a second pipe which is arranged so as to pass beneath the floor of the livestock stall and which adjusts the temperature of the floor surface of the livestock stall by circulating a medium through the inside of the pipe.

A dairy animal-monitoring system for a herd of dairy animals includes a dwelling space for the herd of dairy animals, one or more controllable heat stress-reducing means for reducing or preventing heat stress in the dairy animals, and a control system for the dairy animal-monitoring system. The control system further includes a subset-determining device for determining or inputting a subset of the herd, an identification system for identifying the dairy animals from at least the subset, and a heat stress-detecting system for detecting a value of a heat stress indicator with a dairy animal of the subset. The control system is configured to control the one or more heat stress-reducing means in several of the dairy animals on the basis of the at least one detected value.

The animal crate cooling system comprises a thermal cover for an animal crate and a cold air unit The cold air unit generates and circulates cool air through the crate. The thermal cover comprises a plurality of thermally insulated panels that surround the sides and top of the crate. One or more apertures in the top of the thermal cover allow air to enter and/or exit the crate. The cold air unit utilizes carbon dioxide gas from an attached CO2 cylinder to make dry ice by blowing the CO2 into a mesh basket within the cold air unit. One or more air moving devices may circulate cool air from the cold air unit over the dry ice and through the crate. The air moving devices may be powered by a battery, which may be recharged using a solar panel.

The invention relates to a portable cooling device for humans and/or animals, in particular a vest, a jacket, a cape, a coat or a blanket, characterized in that the portable cooling device (10) comprises at least two water atomizers, which are connected thereto, together with the reservoirs (2.2, 5) and at least two fans (2.1, 6), in that the portable cooling device (10) has a fixing device so that, when in use, a free ventilation and cooling region (11, 12) is formed between the portable cooling device (10) and the surface to be cooled (13, 14) of the human and/or animal, and in that the fans (2.1, 6) and the water atomizers together with the reservoirs (2.2, 5) for ventilating and cooling said ventilation and cooling region (11, 12) are arranged next to one another.

The present invention relates to a breeding system for the breeding of crawling insects, comprising a drum, a shuffling device and a feeding device. The drum comprises at least one wall, defining a drum interior, to house the insects, and the shuffling device is arranged at least partially in the drum interior, to shuffle the insects. The feeding device id configured to feed nutrients into the drum interior. The system comprises a cooling device having a cooling fluid circuit that is, by means of a flow of coolant in the circuit, configured to withdraw heat from the drum interior. The invention further relates to a protein production system, for the on-site production of protein-rich insect larvae as animal feed, and to a method for the breeding of crawling insects, comprising the step of cooling the insects in the interior of the drum with a cooling device.

The invention shows a cooling device for horses with a stand, which comprises a left and a right side part (22), a front door (24) and a rear door (26), with a water sprayer (46), which is arranged centrally between both side parts (20, 22) and both doors (24, 26) at a height of at least 150 cm, and which has a downwards directed water outlet, and with at least one fan (48), which is arranged adjustable in height and angular orientation above the front door (24) on the stand and directs an air flow with a slow speed to the central region of the stand, where in use the back of the horse is located.

Terrestrial multitasking mobile robot capable of being coupled to said structure and transporting it, through the maneuvering area (Am) and along the operating corridor (Cf) between the various bays (29), providing access to the various implements (1 to 7) arranged in the aerial magazine (Ma) or for coupling to the implements in the terrestrial magazine (Mt) used to distribute products and supplies for livestock rearing.

An automated flush system for an evaporative cooling system may be employed in barns or other facilities that house animals to provide cooling and to reduce production loss. The evaporative cooling control system may include an automated flush system that has a controllable valve at a flush end of the cooling system. Based on a timer, the controllable valve is opened and water drains (e.g., pumped or gravity feed) out of the cooling pad enclosure. Fresh water is introduced at the fill end of the system, rinsing out the evaporative cooling pads. After a predetermined time, the valve at the flush end of the system is closed, and the fresh water refills the cooling pad enclosure.
