Abstract:
An agent for curing states of illness in the digestive apparatus comprising fish fermented by a fermentation process in brine. According to a first method for the production of the agent the fermented fish is encased in capsules that are essentially impermeable to the scent agents that are emitted by the fermented fish. According to a second method for the production of the agent fermented fish in a finely divided form is formed into units, for instance tablets or cookies, and is brought into an essentially solid form. The invention also comprises use of a preparation comprising fermented fish for curing states of illness in the digestive apparatus. Likewise, the invention comprises a method for curing states of illness in the digestive apparatus, wherein a preparation comprising fermented fish is administered to a patient/an animal. Furthermore, the invention comprises an animal feeding stuff comprising fermented fish and methods for the production of such an animal feeding stuff.

Abstract:
A support device for a laterally displaceable railway wagon includes a track device including an endless track, a body carrying the endless track, and a track device holder, which is pivotally connected with the body via a connection shaft extending transversally through the body. The track device holder includes opposite first and second side portions extending along the length of the track device, a first end portion connected with the first and second side portions at one end thereof, a second end portion connected with the side portions at the other end thereof, a first suspension portion included in said first end portion, and a second suspension portion included in said second end portion. The track device at least partly extends below the track device holder.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a scraping device (14) for removing objects from a floor surface (1c) of a rotary milking platform (1). The scraping device (14) includes a scraper (18) configured to come into contact with and move an object on the floor surface (1c) of the rotary milking platform (1) during rotation, and a suspension device selectively supporting the scraper (18). The suspension device selectively supports the scraper (18) in each of i) a first position adjacent to the floor surface (1c) of the rotary milking platform (1) and ii) a second position in which the scraper (18) is pressed against the floor surface (1c) with a first force. The suspension device is configured to move the scraper (18) from the first position to the second position when the object on the floor surface (1c) hits the scraper (18) during rotation of the rotary milking platform (1).
Abstract:
An animal treating arrangement includes a carrying device beside a milking platform rotating with a velocity and having animal places housing animals. The carrying device includes a fundament, a first bearing device (12) provided on the fundament, an arm (13) connected to the first bearing device permitting the arm to rotate in relation to the fundament around a first axis, a support platform (15) connected to the arm (13). A drive arrangement moves the support platform and includes a first drive member (31) rotating the arm around the first axis. A sensor (37) communicates with a control unit (36) and senses an instantaneous value of the velocity. The control unit controls the first drive member to move the support platform to follow the milking platform from a start position to an end position during a part of the rotation of the milking platform.
Abstract:
A milking arrangement for animals includes rotary platform (2), a driving mechanism (12) adapted to provide a rotary motion of the platform (2), milking stalls (3) adapted to house the animals (1) to be milked on the platform (2), a blocking system (11, 20, 25) for blocking selected milking stalls (3) on the platform (1) temporarily such that the animals (1) do not have access to the blocked milking stalls (3) during a period of time and the remaining non-blocked milking stalls will be used more frequently.
Abstract:
A teat preparation station(1) for preparation of teats of milking animals prior to being milked in a milking system (11) equipped with at least one milking stall(13) is provided. The teat preparation station (1) includes a teat preparation area (2) housing at least one milking animal at a time; an exit (4) leading to the milking system; pre-milking equipment (5) provided for automatically pre-milking milking animals in the teat preparation area; and milk quality analyzing equipment (6) provided for automatically analyzing pre-milk from the milking animals.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an arrangement for affixing an expandable packer 22, 32 in a hole 30, wherein the arrangement includes a piston-and-cylinder device 11, 12 with which the piston can be caused to move in the cylinder with the aid of a pressurized medium. Expansion of the packer is effected with the aid of the movement of the piston 11, by transferring the force generated by piston movement to an expandable part 24, 34 of the packer 22, 32 so that said part will expand. Expansion of the packer results in the packer being firmly affixed in the hole by means of friction. The arrangement also includes an elongate main body 1 that has a through-penetrating aperture extending in the longitudinal direction of the body. The main body 1 has a front end 3, which faces inwardly of the hole when fastening the packer and towards the packer. The body includes a rear end 4 which carries means 9 for connection to a filler supply means, wherewith filler is delivered to the hole via the through-penetrating aperture 2 and via the packer 22, 32 subsequent to having affixed the packer in the hole. At least a part of the main body 1 is formed as a piston rod 16 on which and along which the piston 11 can move. The arrangement also includes pressure connection means 10 for connection to said pressurized medium, and a connection 19 between said pressure connection means and the piston 11.
