An apparatus for supplying a precise oxygen-nitrogen gas mixture to an animal comprises (i) A source of pressurized oxygen gas, (ii) A source of pressurized nitrogen gas, (iii) A mechanical two-gas blending valve having a first and second gas inlet couplings, and an outlet coupling, the gas blending valve having a manual selector that can incrementally adjust the oxygen- nitrogen gas mixture within a range of mixtures, and a face plate on the blending valve including markings adjacent to the manual selector that are indicative of specific oxygen-nitrogen mixtures, wherein the gas inlets are coupled to the sources of oxygen and nitrogen, respectively, (iv) A gas dispenser coupled to the outlet of the mechanical two gas blending valve; and (v) An animal interface coupling to deliver the gas mixture to the subject animal. The apparatus may be provided for mixtures of air and any gas of interest. |
