CONTAINER WITH ANIMAL URINE HELD IN AN OXYGEN FREE STATE, ASSEMBLY OF THE CONTAINER AND A VACUUM PLUG AND VACUUM PUMP, AND METHOD OF PROTECTING DEGRADATION OF ANIMAL URINE USING OXYGEN FREE COLLECTION
A method and apparatus for collecting and storing urine comprises a collecting funnel and collection tank. The funnel has a valve that opens flow of urine begins and closes once the flow stops based on a flow sensor. The flow time of urine is recorded and used to regulate the evacuation and inert gas filling of a head space in the collection container once the urine is collected. The inert gas protects the urine from oxidation so that degradation is minimized while in the collection container. A similar control can be exercised when a bottle is filled with urine from the collection container, wherein head space in the bottle is filled with inert gas for oxidation protection to form a finished package. The head space of finished package can be evacuated to minimize degradation of the urine once the urine is accessed an initial time in the finished package.
