The pet waste disposal device has a stabilization pillar mounted in a protection frame. The bottom part of the pillar is fitted with a pheromone reservoir and the top part of the protection frame is fitted with an absorption pad and then a filtration pad. At the bottom of the frame, permeable openings are located, which are used to drain the filtered urine and the rainwater in the surrounding areas. Underneath the filtration pad, a probe is located, which checks the level of filtration pad contamination and signals the need to replace the filtration pad. The pillar is fitted with a frame with a container, in which a poop bag is attached. The pillar is also fitted with a supply bin, a feature used to fasten the leash to the pillar, and a pet waste scooper.

A barn for housing dairy cows includes a feeding and milking area, and a pasture area. The feeding and milking area comprises a plurality of feeding stations, each feeding station including: a manger configured to permit a cow to obtain dry feed; a waterer configured to permit the cow to obtain drinking water; and a head lock configured to releasably secure the cow in the feeding station while the cow is being milked. The pasture area is configured to permit a plurality of cows to lay down. The pasture area includes a raised bed composed of a bedding material and having a predetermined slope selected to facilitate removal of excess liquid from the pasture area.

An intelligent fecal solid-liquid separator for a cattle mattress bedding material production system and an operation method thereof. The cutting assembly is located directly above the first cutting groove. By setting a cutting assembly, the further extrusion is achieved to realize solid-liquid separation of separated solid waste. Further, by utilizing the cooperation between the pressing plate and the spring, it ensures the extrusion pressure of the waste spiral extrusion, thereby improving the accuracy of solid-liquid separation.

An in-vehicle carrier system comprising: a base floor assembly including: a floor surface including a liquid drain, a supporting channel below the floor surface and open to the liquid drain, a pedestal below the floor surface and coupled to the supporting channel; a first sidewall attached to the base floor assembly on the floor surface; a second sidewall attached to the base floor assembly on the floor surface; and a crossbar attached above the pedestal and connected to the first sidewall and the second sidewall.

A new method of disposing of waste for the hog industry is disclosed which avoids use of lagoons. Manure is semi-continuously degritted, anaerobically digested and digested with biomass to produce bio-organic fertilizer and biogas.

A method for separating swine waste using at least one perforated conveyor belt and at least one fluid trough. A quantity of swine waste is collected through a slatted floor of a barn into at least one funneling channel. The quantity of swine waste is gravity-fed through the at least one funneling channel onto at least one perforated conveyor belt. Liquid waste is strained from the quantity of swine waste on at least one perforated conveyor belt into the fluid trough, retaining solid waste on the at least one perforated conveyor belt. The solid waste is then transported into a solid-waste storage vessel with the at least one perforated conveyor belt. Simultaneously, the liquid waste is gravity fed into a liquid-waste containment vessel from the at least one fluid trough. The solid waste and the liquid waste are stored to be processed later.

A new method of disposing of waste for the hog industry is disclosed which avoids use of lagoons. Manure is semi-continuously degritted, anaerobically digested and digested with biomass to produce bio-organic fertilizer and biogas.

A milking box comprises a stall portion having a longitudinal axis. A backplane is positioned in the stall portion and moves toward the rear of the stall portion along the longitudinal axis in response to pressure applied, and toward the front of the stall portion in response to pressure removed. A robotic attacher extends from the rear of the stall portion and between the hind legs of a dairy livestock. A controller determines the position of the backplane relative to the rear of the stall portion and determines a positional offset that increases as the dairy livestock moves toward the front of the stall and decreases as it moves toward the rear of the stall. The controller further communicates a signal to move the robotic attacher along the longitudinal axis. The amount of movement is determined at least in part according to the positional offset.

An animal shed system includes an animal shed having an animal shed floor with a first and a second surface spaced apart, such that the floor has a thickness different from zero, and multiple flow holes extending from the first to the second surface; a reservoir situated under the animal shed floor, wherein the flow holes open up to the reservoir, and the flow holes allow a fluid flow from the animal shed to the reservoir; a floor opening in the animal shed floor to allow manure to be dumped in the reservoir; an air extraction device for extracting air underneath the floor, out of the reservoir; and a device extending from the floor opening into the reservoir, wherein the device is configured to prevent an airflow from the animal shed to the reservoir through the floor opening when in use.
