A stand-alone chamber or multi-chamber inhalation system has at least two alternative vaporized test liquid supply systems for passive or self-administered delivery of vaporized test fluid and air to one or more test chambers, which can be passive or restraint chambers, based on operator selection of delivery on and off times in a passive mode or actuation of an actuator in the chamber by a test animal in a self-administered mode. In one case, a multiple inhalation chamber system has two or more separate test fluid delivery systems and provides options for selective passive uniform drug delivery to multiple chambers or selective delivery of two or more different drugs to different groups of chambers from different delivery systems so that two different drugs or different concentrations of delivered drugs can be tested simultaneously.

A method and system for removably connecting the animal cage monitoring system to an animal rack. The monitoring system can include a data collection platform. Data from an RFID chipped animal within a cage can be wirelessly transmitted to the data collection platform. An individual chipped animal is associated with the data collection platform. The data collection platform and associated cage being removably received in a data collection rack. One or more removably mountable data collection processors can be attached to the data collection rack.

A system and method for an integrated pet enclosure system for a pet is provided. One embodiment of the integrated pet enclosure system provides an integrated food storage and a supply storage region. The integrated pet enclosure system has a cabinet top, a cabinet bottom, a first cabinet end piece, a second cabinet end piece, and a back panel that all cooperatively define the integrated pet enclosure system. The integrated pet enclosure system comprises an entrance interior region; a litter box interior region; and a divider between the entrance interior region and the litter box interior region. The divider includes a hole to permit passage of a pet between the entrance interior region and the litter box interior region.

A collection system for monitoring conditions of a rack of animal cages. An animal caging system including a plurality of animal cages removably connected to an exhaust. A collection media cartridge is slidably received within an opening in a collection media housing dock. The collection media housing dock is positioned between an exhaust plenum of the rack an exhaust air inlet unit. Collection media is removably received in the collection media cartridge. Exhaust air dust clings to the collection media as exhaust from the animal cages flows along the length of the collection media. The collection media cartridge can be removed from the collection media housing dock and the collection media can be removed for sampling the exhaust.

A growing system is described where plants are grown in containers and the containers are stored in stacks. Above the stacks runs a grid network of tracks on which load handling devices run. The load handling devices take containers from the stacks and deposit them at alternative locations in the stacks or deposit them at stations where goods may be picked out. The containers may be provided with one or more of the following services: power, power control, heating, lighting, cooling, sensing means, data logging means, growing means, water and nutrients.

The present disclosure relates to an assembled pet rack having fast disassembly and assembly, comprising: a bottom member; a top member; a supporting member; a separating member arranged on the supporting member for forming multiple spaces for pets to rest; and a plurality of drawstring members, whose one end is fixedly connected with the bottom member, and the other end penetrates the support member and the separating member and then is fixedly connected with the top member for integrally connecting all the above members. In the present disclosure, the drawstring members connect in series the components of the pet rack according to the correct design, thus to complete the correct assembly more quickly and simply, thereby achieving fast disassembly and assembly. Besides, the drawstring members can be staggered on the same plane without disconnecting the drawstring member separately, so the assembled method is fast and diverse, which improves the practicability.

The invention provides an animal house comprising an impermeable hollow-moulded structure 210 having at least one convex surface 219. The structure comprises a first flat surface 214 extending in a first direction and a second flat surface 213 extending in a second direction. The convex surface 219 connects the first flat surface 214 to the second flat surface 213. The structure 210 further comprises a rib 230 defining a sharp edge. The rib 320 is configured to be releasably attached proximate to or on the convex surface 219 such that the rib 230 diverts a liquid flowing over the convex surface 219 away from the structure 210. The invention also provides an impermeable hollow-moulded panel 810 with protruding ridges 800, 801 to prevent water ingress.
