Abstract: A pet door fluid/powder applicator device disposed upon the bottom of the flap of a typical pet door. The pet door fluid/powder applicator device includes at least one roller volubly disposed on an underside of a chamber. At least one interior cavity is disposed within the chamber. The cavity is configured to store fluid/powder in contact with a first portion of the roller. The fluid/powder is applied to the hide of an animal as the animal is caused to contact and rotate the at least one roller of the rollers. Thus, whenever the animal moves through the pet door, a dosage of the fluid/powder containing a desired active ingredient is applied to the animal.
Abstract: An apparatus and method for a water removing roller device for removing excess water from the hide of a cattle, which uses pliable urethane roller stacks that can be attached by an arm structure. The roller structure can be mounted on a hinge to an arm thereby allowing the structure to swivel. The arm can be attached to a stationery device with a hinge, which is also allowed to swivel. A tension device, for example, a spring or a hydraulic cylinder can be attached to the back of the arm and connected to the stationery device to provide enough tension on the structure to keep the rollers in contact with the cattle hide, thereby pressing out the water allowing it to run off prior the blood plasma saving section.
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for controlling ectoparasites of small rodents, thereby preventing the transmission of diseases by arthropod vectors. The invention further provides an enclosure having openings for entry of rodents, and having arranged therein one or more applicators which are configured to contact rodents entering the chamber and having an ectoparasiticide on the applicator for application to the rodents.
