Abstract: A rodent bait station comprises a housing defining at least one entrance, a bait holding area arranged within the housing for storing a quantity of rodent bait for consumption, and an electronics assembly. The electronics assembly includes a capacitor arranged proximate the bait holding area and having a characteristic capacitance indicative of the quantity of bait in the bait holding area, and a controller for measuring the characteristic capacitance of the capacitor. A processor of the electronics assembly estimates a quantity of bait in the bait holding area according to the measured characteristic capacitance, and transmits via a transmitter a wireless signal indicative of one of the measured characteristic capacitance or the estimated quantity of bait in the bait holding area.

Abstract: A feeder includes a housing, an ejection structure, and a driving module. The housing includes a discharge channel. The discharge channel has an accommodating space and a discharge port communicated with each other. The ejection structure includes an ejection blade. The ejection blade is rotatably disposed in the accommodating space. The driving module is configured to rotate the ejection structure, so that the ejection blade ejects the feed located in the accommodating space away from the discharge port. The driving module includes a position-returning member configured to maintain the ejection structure in a first rotational orientation relative to the housing. The driving module is further configured to rotate the ejection structure relative to the housing to exceed a second rotational orientation and then release the ejection structure.

Abstract: An animal feeding apparatus is related, including a base and a reservoir connected to the base, the medium in the reservoir is driven into or out of the reservoir through a port of the reservoir. The base includes a first cavity communicating with the reservoir, and a second cavity adjacent to and communicating with the first cavity. A piston is movable positioned in the first cavity, and having a first force end away from the reservoir. An activator is movable positioned in the second cavity, and having a second force end away from the reservoir. An linkage member is formed between the first cavity and the second cavity, and engages with the piston and the activator and guide the piston and the activator to move in two opposite directions to get the medium to move into or out of the reservoir. An animal feeding method is also related.

Abstract: A below ground feeder for baiting grazing animals includes a can that has a height of at least 2.0 feet and a diameter of at least 1.5 feet. The can is positioned in a hole in the ground thereby facilitating the can to be concealed from hunters. Additionally, the can contains a granular feed such that the granular feed may be consumed by a grazing animal. A lifting unit is movably positioned in the can and the lifting unit is biased to elevate the granular material in the can. Thus, the grazing animal may continuously access the granular feed. A lid is hingedly coupled to the can and lid selectively closes the can to inhibit animals from accessing the granular feed.

Abstract: An automatic animal food dispensing apparatus comprises a stationary horizontal-axis tubular casing with aligned upper and lower apertures; a rotatable food dispenser having a tubular circumferential wall formed with a single aperture that is coaxial with the casing! a hopper from which animal food is gravitationally deliverable to the food dispenser; an inclined chute extending downwardly from the food dispenser, for receiving the food discharged from the food dispenser and for directing the discharged food to a bowl; and a force transmitting unit for rotating the food dispenser a predetermined and repeatable angular distance, such that a dose of the food is introducible from the hopper into the food dispenser when the aperture of the food dispenser is aligned with the upper aperture of the casing and the dose of food is completely dispensable via the lower casing aperture following rotation of the food dispenser by the predetermined angular distance.
