Abstract: An end-to-end animal care solution provides transportation and care services for animals. For instance, transportation of animals to/from a pickup/dropoff location may be provided by one or more buses and grooming services, daycare services, boarding services, training services, spa services, and/or veterinary services may be provided may one or more “ranches.” This provides an easy and safe way for owners to give their pets a healthy, pleasant, and engaging experience without having to drive their pets to the actual pet care location.

Abstract: A transporting unit for live poultry including a quadrangular supporting frame and a plurality of drawer-type cages open at the top, arranged in a superimposed condition in the frame and slidably displaceable outwards through a first side of the supporting frame, in a partially extracted condition to enable loading of the poultry from a site located at a second side of the frame from the lowermost drawer kept inserted within the frame. The frame is configured to enable simultaneous loading of the poultry into each drawer-type cage from an additional site located at a third side of the supporting frame which is opposite to the second side.

Abstract: A transporting unit for live poultry on board a truck includes a supporting frame and a plurality of drawer-type cages having a lateral wall without aeration openings and intended to be selectively positioned at one side or the opposite side of the supporting frame, depending on the climatic and environmental transport conditions. The drawer-type cages are arranged in a single pile or in two adjacent piles, and in both cases the arrangement is such to be able to occupy the entire width of the loading deck of a truck.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a poultry cage transportation assembly including: a plurality of improved poultry cages including: a floor panel; a wall frame connected to the floor panel with an tongue and groove fastener; a protrusion disposed on an edge portion of the wall frame; and a mechanical fastener operable for securing adjacent wall frames, wherein the floor panel, the wall frame, and the protrusions are constructed of unitary a durable polymer material; a light-weight trailer; and a binding system designed to secure the plurality of improved poultry cages to the light weight trailer.

Abstract: A system for generating evaporative cooling supported by a portable means. In particular, the present invention is related to a system and method for cooling livestock during various stages of transport or relocation. A hydraulic system is ideally described that supplies cooling liquid over at least the length of a mobile carrier to utilize evaporative cooling via nozzles and fans that can be controlled all together or separately.

Abstract: Configurable animal housing (caging) is arranged from an assortment of modules consisting of interchangeable frame cores, interstages, walls and divider panels that address a broad spectrum of animal housing needs. Various configurations include both open living and enrichment areas as well as isolation housing and are easily achieved using a quick-disconnect approach to assembly. Animal resistant lock assemblies hold modules together and use a common key to permit rapid changes of configuration without tools. Systems can address configurations for wall mounting, mobile racking, individual, and group housing, and almost any other configuration animal caregivers would want.

Abstract: The cage comprises a metal support framework and plastic panels that define trays for containing live-poultry. Horizontal floor panels of the trays are domed and slitted to prevent pooling of water. Vertical fence panels are formed as open lattice boxes, combining good containment with good ventilation. Openable doors for the trays have a double-detent camming action, whereby the doors snap to open or snap to closed, whichever is closer. The cage is lifted on/off a truck with a fork lift.

Abstract: An integral one piece injection molded drawer for carrying live poultry on a road vehicle, having side walls and end walls, formed integrally together and meeting at radiused corners, and a floor formed integrally with the side walls and end walls, and intersecting ribs extending downwardly from the floor and extending from end to end and side to side of the drawer and defining generally rectangular spaces there between, and a plurality of intersecting bars located within the rectangular spaces, defining together an integral generally honeycomb floor structure the floor being shaped with a generally shallow upwardly convex profile, extending upwardly between the side and end walls.

Abstract: A poultry container comprises a frame assembly defining an interior space, and at least one loading door having one end pivotally mounted on the frame assembly of the poultry container. The frame assembly has an opening accessing the interior space to enable the loading of poultry into the poultry container. The door is mounted on the frame assembly to situate the door in the access opening. The loading door is operable to pivot between an open position in which a free end of the door is positioned in the interior space and a closed position in which the door substantially blocks the access opening of the poultry container. The poultry container further includes a mechanism for biasing the loading door in the closed position. A mechanism restricts the free end of the loading door from swinging outwardly away from the poultry container.

Abstract: A dog transportation device comprised of a rigid plastic container having a bottom wall with a periphery extending upwards from the bottom wall to define a hollow interior and with the periphery formed of a pair of end walls with a pair of long walls extended therebetween. One of the end walls has a pair of door holes disposed thereon for allowing access into the interior. The container also has a removable top wall extended between the walls at a location above the interior. A separating wall extends across the interior to thereby define a first holding compartment in communication with one of the door holes and a second holding department in communication with the other door hole. A pair of closeable doors are hingably secured within the door holes.
