    Abstract: GPS trackers for pets are known, however known systems are visible, and are therefore easily identified and removed by thieves. The present invention enables a GPS tracker to be inserted within a compartment 90, wherein the compartment 90 is concealed behind a first part 10 or a second part 20 of a dog harness. Accordingly, if a dog is stolen while wearing the harness, the thief may be unaware of the presence or the location of the GPS tracker. This may enable the location of the dog to be ascertained by the owner so that the dog may be recovered. Furthermore, the unobtrusive and secure mounting of the GPS tracker within the GPS tracker holder may prevent it from becoming detached from the harness and lost.

    Abstract: A feeding system for feeding individual animals of a herd feed, supplements, and combinations thereof. The feeding system includes one-to-many feed bin assemblies or feeding stations such that the system is able to dispense a specified mass of feed to specific animals at user-defined intervals. In this way, each animal of a herd is provided with optimal, individualized amounts of feed or feed material. Multiple feed bin assemblies in a single pasture, for example, can automatically form a network of feeders so that regardless of the specific feed bin assembly or feeding station within the feeding system that an animal visits, the specified amount and type of feed or feed material is delivered. Each feed bin assembly or feeding station can also be equipped to download, archive/store, and/or synthesize data into an individual animal record and/or to transmit data from additional onboard animal sensors such as activity and rumination sensors.

    Abstract: An animal health product container is described. The animal health product container is provided with a body, a bonding material and a pull tab. The body has a first face and a second face. The body is constructed of a weather resistant material impregnated with an animal health product compound. The bonding material attached to the first face of the body. The bonding material is configured to be weather resistant and allow the body to be removably attached to a tag body of an identification tag for an animal. The pull-tab is attached to the body, the pull tab devoid of the bonding material.

    Abstract: A livestock management system includes a first type of livestock tag, a second type of livestock tag, and a computing device. The first type of livestock tag includes both a first long-range wireless transceiver and a first short-range wireless transceiver and is attached to a first livestock animal. The second type of livestock tag, which is attached to a second livestock animal, includes second short-range range transceiver that transmits a unique tag identifier associated with the second type of livestock tag to the first short-range wireless transceiver; the second type of livestock tag is incapable of transmitting a long-range wireless transmission. The computing device receives the unique tag identifier of the second type of livestock tag from the first type of livestock tag via long-range wireless transmission from the first long-range wireless transceiver.
