Disclosed is a system (100) for a poultry farm. The system (100) includes an automated guided vehicle (110). The automated guided vehicle (110) includes a body (111) adapted to mount a plurality of devices (170), a plurality of wheels (112), a plurality of sensors (113), a collection bin (114) at the rear end (116) of the automated guided vehicle (110), and a detachable protection arrangement (160) at a front (115) of the body (111). The system (100) also includes an overhead power railing unit (120), an open overhead utility line (130) with a vertical water supply line (140) with a pump (142), and a vertical conveyor (150) to retrieve the litter, eggs or wastewater from the collection bin (114) and dispose in the open overhead utility line (130).

A weighing module for a nest in a poultry management system comprises a floor for receiving poultry or a nesting pad and a mounting device with which the weighing module can be attached to an animal holding installation, wherein the floor is supported by a weighing element.

A coop system, methods and services related thereto are provided. In particular, the coop system and features related thereto prevents predators from entering a coop, simplifies maintenance of the coop, and enables a poultry keeper to order services for overseeing chickens and cleaning coop environments. The coops described herein are automated, eliminate the use of wood in its construction, comprise pest-resistant materials and improve ventilation mechanisms. The coops further include cameras with smart predator detections and event recording capabilities. A mobile application is also provided which allows a poultry keeper to remotely access the coop's smart technology, thereby allowing the poultry keeper to better monitor, maintain, and safekeep coops.

A laying nest provided with an ejection system with a particularly simple structure and operation comprises a nest floor that can rotate in two opposite directions, to get more inclined towards a collection area or towards a coop arranged on the nest side opposite to the collection area. The floor is rotatable about a pair of pivot pins arranged aligned to each other and adjacent to the coop, and each of the pivot pins is mounted slidably in a respective slot. The rotation to incline the floor towards the collection area is thus obtained by translating the pivot pins along the respective slots. The driving arrangement of the ejection system comprises traction cables guided along return pulleys arranged above the floor, whereby the ejection system has a limited footprint and is not prone to jams and malfunctions due to droppings and dirt.

Facilities, methods, and systems to produce therapeutic protein(s) can include collecting eggs from transgenic avian in a production unit in a building; transferring the eggs to a harvesting unit in the building; and harvesting egg white or egg yolk from the eggs in the harvesting unit.

An egg laying box relates to the technical field of culture tools. The egg laying box includes a box body, and at least one egg laying cavity is disposed on the box body. The box body includes: a center wall panel, a top cover, and an egg laying tray. One egg laying cavity is disposed between two adjacent center wall panels. The top cover is disposed at a top of each egg laying cavity, an egg laying tray is disposed in each egg laying cavity and located on a side away from the top cover, and the egg laying tray is detachably assembled with the center wall panel. The egg laying box further includes a first disassembling component that is detachably assembled on the center wall panel and used to fasten or separate the top cover to or from a top of the center wall panel. According to the above technical solution, because one top cover is correspondingly disposed at the top of each egg laying cavity, a top cover of an egg laying box with a plurality of egg laying cavities is not a whole block. By disposing the first disassembling component, the center wall panel can be fastened to or separated from the top cover. Therefore, the egg laying box can be easily packaged and transported.
