Leading to a plastic conduit, the manhole serves the patient in much the same way that a fuel oil intake in the sidewalk serves a suburban home. The conduit, 1 in. to 3 in. long, is inserted through a slit in the belly muscle. It is threaded to take a screw-plug that seals the whole apparatus when it is not in use. For irrigation, this plug is unscrewed and replaced by one with a hole drilled through on the bias. Through this hole a tube is inserted to carry the irrigation fluid. By rotating the plug with its angled...

At regular intervals, trap doors automatically distributed the individual animal's feed. When all the animals on one side of a trough had been fed, the traps changed position, shunted feed to the animals waiting on the other side...
