  • Patent number: 11825810
    Abstract: A livestock automatic rearing system, including a supporting frame, grooved floor panels, an operating robot, horizontal and longitudinal conveyors. Animals are reared on grooved panels with feces hold in the grooves. The operating robot is programmed to remove feces, clean up floor panels, pick up dead or sick animals and bring all these objects out of the building through a conveyor system. The autonomous operating robot also assists young animal placement, finished animal, and final cleaning and disinfection. With sensors and AI system, the robot provides behavior observation, health diagnosis, early warning, and remote medical treatment. An underfloor environment control system provides better and comforts air with reduced energy. The system will help reduce farmer's labor in an unpleasant environment, improve animal welfare, increate production effectiveness, and reduce biosecurity risk through the elimination contact of humans with animals.

  • Publication number: 20140262166
    Abstract: Systems and method are provided for recovering heat from waste air being expelled from a livestock poultry barn. A heat recovery unit is specially designed to take advantage of an unused heat source, while avoiding the corrosive effects of waste air from the livestock poultry barn. The novel heat recovery capture heat from the expelled waste air.
