The present disclosure describes a self-sprayer device for self-administering an animal product to an animal and providing environmental enrichment to the animal.

Multi-sensory enrichment with self-administering health product delivery system

Provided herein are maternal neonatal pheromonal agents capable of reducing aggression and improving feeding behavior in a pig. Compositions comprising the pheromonal agents and methods of using the agents to reduce aggression and improve feeding behavior and weight gain in the pig are also provided.

Swine maternal neonatal pheromone

A composition comprising Quinoline is described for the modification of undesirable or harmful behaviors or other behaviors or physiology in a variety of vertebrate species, as well as methods of using the compositions in vertebrates.

Methods and compositions for modifying the behavior of animals

The present disclosure provides for pheromonal compositions and methods of using the compositions for stimulating early onset of estrus in a peri-pubertal suid and methods of improving performance of the peri-pubertal female suid. The composition may comprise at least one steroid hormone and a heterocyclic aromatic compound. The method comprises administering the pheromone composition to the suid for a period of time.

Pheromone compositions for stimulating early onset of estrus and reducing labor needs in breeding peri-pubertal suids and methods of use

An animal litter composition comprising 2-methylbut-2-enal is described for the modification and reduction of dominant behaviors in household animals.

Animal litter containing a pheromone composition

A composition comprising an INTEROMONE&#xae; is described for the modification of undesirable or harmful stress-related behaviors or other behaviors or physiology in a variety of vertebrate species, as well as methods of using the compositions in vertebrates from a species different than the species in which the INTEROMONE&#xae; is a naturally occurring pheromone.

Pheromone compositions and their use to modify behavior in different vertebrate species

A livestock identification system/method configured to identify individual animals from a pool of livestock is disclosed. The system/method utilizes images of individual animals and determines the identity of a specific animal based on markers extracted from the image of the animal. These markers may then be used to characterize the state of the animal as to weight, health, and other parameters. The system is configured to log these parameters in a temporal database that may be used to determine historical activity of the animal, including but not limited to activity relating to food and/or fluid intake. This historical record in conjunction with analysis of the animal state parameters is used to determine the animal health status and may also be used to determine whether the animal is ready for harvesting.

Livestock identification and monitoring

The present disclosure provides for compositions and methods of stimulating reproductive behavior and reproductive success and productivity in a suid, such as pigs. The composition may comprise at least one steroid hormone and a heterocyclic aromatic compound. The method comprises administering the pheromone composition to the suid for a period of time.

Pheromone composition to stimulate reproduction in female suids and methods of use

A composition comprising Androstenone is described for the modification of undesirable or harmful stress-related behaviors or other behaviors or physiology in a variety of vertebrate species, as well as methods of using the compositions in vertebrates from a species different than the species in which the Androstenone is a naturally occurring pheromone.

Livestock identification system and method

A device or collar having a matrix into which an interomone is incorporated in an amount from between about 0.001% and about 5% by weight of the device is described for the modification of undesirable or harmful stress-related behaviors or other behaviors of physiology in a variety of vertebrate species over an extended period of time, as well as methods of using the device to modify behaviors of a variety of vertebrate species over an extended period of time.
