Embodiment Construction

[0051] A simplified urine collector according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, indicated at 10 in Figure 1, for use with a mare 30 will be described. Urine collector 10 includes a PVC container 12 with a forward facing urine inlet 14 and urine outlet 16 .

[0052] Additionally, the container 12 has a top plate or cover 20 to prevent (substantially) faeces from falling into the urine collector 10 .

[0053] The urine collector 10 also includes a reservoir 22 connected to the container 12 by a conduit 24, and support means in the form of a rigid rubber bracket element 26 conforming to the anatomical shape of the rump 28 of the mare 30 and from which the container 12 hang on.

[0054] Not shown in FIG. 1 are the fastening means or harness used to position the rubber stand 26 and support the reservoir 22 under the belly 32 of the mare 30 . However, the harness may be in any suitable form, although preferred forms are described in detail below. (See Figure 4) ...

Abstract

The present invention provides a method and apparatus for collecting urine from a female quadruped, the apparatus comprising a urine collector having: a urine receptacle having a urine inlet for receiving urine; a support member for supporting the receptacle, the support member locatable to bridge the buttocks of the quadruped adjacent to and below the vulva thereof and generally conforming to the shape of the rump to thereby resist lateral displacement; wherein the receptacle is supported by the support member so that the urine inlet is proximate to and substantially surrounds the periphery of the urethra.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a urine collector for the collection of urine of female quadrupeds, especially but not limited to its use for the collection of urine of mares. Background technique [0002] Devices for collecting faeces or urine of various animals at the place of excretion have been used for many years not only for hygienic purposes but also to facilitate reuse of the faeces. The development of urine collectors was prompted by the realization that such excreta contain valuable components, such as hormones valuable for the preparation of some pharmaceuticals, and urine in particular has proven to be a significantly rich source of such hormones. For male animals, this is very simple, but for female animals, especially if you intend to separate urine from feces, it is very difficult. For example, it has been found that the urine of a pregnant mare has very valuable components and many known devices attempt to coll...
