Introduction
Don Phillips is an accomplished inventor based in London, Canada. He has made significant contributions to the field of animal care technology, holding 2 patents that showcase his innovative approach to improving animal feeding and nursing systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a computerized monitoring system for animal feed ration processing mills. This system is equipped with proportioners and includes a console with a keypad and liquid crystal display screen. It features a processor board and a circuit board for monitoring proportioner flow rates. The system assists operators in preparing precisely tailored animal feed rations by computing proportioner dial settings for a given ration. It also computes the analysis of a ration for % protein, % calcium, % phosphorous, and % moisture, while tracking usage inventories of ration ingredients. Ration formulas can be interactively fine-tuned by adjusting proportioner throughputs during preparation.
Another notable invention is a mechanical nursing device for neonatal piglets. This electronically controlled nursing apparatus can nurse up to sixteen piglets simultaneously. It operates semi-automatically and includes a refrigerated storage tank with a magnetic stirrer for storing a twenty-four hour supply of liquid feed formula. The apparatus features heating tanks for warming the formula to body temperature before nursing and nipple bars that accommodate four nipples each. The design allows for the nipples to be extended for nursing and retracted to prevent damage. Additionally, the apparatus reproduces the digitized grunting sounds of a nursing sow during each nursing period.
