Science - Livestock / Animal Husbandry / laboratory animal care
French term or phrase: récupérateur
I don't have much context for this, I am working on a one-page promotion flyer for a new type of lab animal water bottle. The sentence reads "Pas de risque de noyade, grace au récupérateur". The word does not come up again and the flyer does not give any construction details.
