A system includes a controller and a robotic arm. The controller accesses an image signal of an udder of a dairy livestock, and determines a spray position by processing the accessed image signal to determine a tangent at the rear of the udder and a tangent at the bottom of the udder. The spray position is a position relative to the intersection of the two tangents. A robotic arm communicatively coupled to the controller positions a spray tool at the spray position.

A floating water circulator (FWC) expels water at or near a water surface, providing kinetic energy, mixing, and/or temperature destratification while retarding formation of ice and/or insect reproduction in bodies of water with varying depth and/or debris, and while consuming significantly less power than a heater. An FWC includes a float configured to maintain buoyancy, allowing the FWC to rise and fall with water elevation. An FWC may provide shallow water operation. A pump may be configured to pump subsurface water from the body of water into a distributor. The distributor may be configured to receive, distribute and discharge the pumped water in multiple directions at or near the water surface through a plurality of outlets located in a side and/or a bottom of the FWC to ripple the water surface while suppressing/inhibiting splashing that may disturb livestock or induce freezing. FWC operation may be adaptable to deployment conditions.

A water bowl for a pet that automatically refills itself. The water bowl includes a bowl having an open interior volume in which water can be stored. A water supply tube extends from an exterior of the bowl to an interior thereof. The water supply tube includes a connector thereon that is configured to removably receive a water supply line. The water supply tube includes a float valve, having a float that is disposed within the bowl. When the water level in the bowl drops below a certain level the change in position of the float causes the float valve to open so that water from the water supply line flows through the water supply tube and into the bowl.

An automatic self-cleaning and self-filling outdoor fluid feeding system for an animal, including for example a pet, includes a sink; a fluid transport system; a housing supporting the sink and containing the fluid transport system; and a control assembly configured to control the automatic self-cleaning and self-filling operations of the system.

A temperature regulation system including a first body forming a first interior cavity and a second body forming a second interior cavity. The first body includes a first opening defined in a wall of the first body. The first interior cavity is in fluidic communication with the first opening and the first interior cavity is configured to contain a liquid. The second body includes a second opening defined within a wall of the second body. A first temperature control module can be disposed within the second body and can include a fan. The first temperature control module is in fluidic communication of a fluid comprising air with the first interior cavity via the first and second openings. The fan is configured to direct a flow of air from the second interior cavity to the first interior cavity at a location adjacent the liquid.

A pet water bowl includes a bowl body provided with a holding tank, a floating device located within the holding tank for preventing a pet's hair from touching water and that floats with a water level, and a purifying device for purifying drinking water in the holding tank. The floating device is located in the holding tank. The floating device rises and falls with a change of a height of the drinking water in the holding tank.
