A new welfare bed for sows

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of livestock breeding, and discloses a novel welfare sow delivery bed. The novel welfare sow delivery bed comprises a sow area, a sow manger, piglet moving areas, a piglet heat-preserving box, a heat-preserving lamp reserved hole in the top of the piglet heat-preserving box, and a steel tube fence on the periphery of the sow delivery bed. The two sides of the sow area are provided with the piglet moving areas, and the sow area and the piglet moving areas are separated through a piglet protective railing; the piglet heat-preserving box is arranged on the side rear portion of the sow area, and the piglet heat-preserving box is connected with one piglet moving area on one side of one sow delivery bed and one piglet moving area on one side of an adjacent sow delivery bed; heating tubes are laid at the bottom of the piglet heat-preserving box. The novel welfare sow delivery bed is simple in design, convenient to use, easy to operate, safe and practical, can efficiently control temperature of living environment of piglets, guarantees ventilation and cooling of the sow area, provides larger moving space and fresher air environment for the piglets, can reduce operation cost, and improves the survival rate of the piglets and fertility of sows.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of animal husbandry, in particular to a novel welfare type sow farrowing bed. Background technique [0002] At present, the farrowing bed for sows used in production is a steel pipe fence structure, located in the center of the pig house, and multiple farrowing beds are arranged side by side. Two piglet incubators are installed in the middle of each two farrowing beds. The opening of the incubator faces Both sides are used for newborn piglets on two farrowing beds. The problems of these sow farrowing beds are as follows: 1. Due to the underdeveloped body heat regulation function of piglets, they are especially afraid of cold, so newborn piglets require a higher temperature, which is the most suitable at the beginning of birth. The temperature is 35°C, and the optimum temperature for sows is 18-20°C. In order to ensure that both sows and piglets have a suitable ambient temperature, most farrowing rooms are designed wit...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, the farrowing bed for sows used in production is a steel pipe fence structure, located in the center of the pig house, and multiple farrowing beds are arranged side by side. Two piglet incubators are installed in the middle of each two farrowing beds. The opening of the incubator faces Both sides are used for newborn piglets on two farrowing beds. The problems of these sow farrowing beds are as follows: 1. Due to the underdeveloped body heat regulation function of piglets, they are especially afraid of cold, so newborn piglets require a higher temperature, which is the most suitable at the beginning of birth. The temperature is 35°C, and the optimum temperature for sows is 18-20°C. In order to ensure that both sows and piglets have a suitable ambient temperature, most farrowing rooms are designed with longitudinal mechanical ventilation perpendicular to the sows. To cool down, the heat preservation lamp is installed in the piglet incubator to heat up the piglets, so that due to the obstruction of the incubator, the sows will not enjoy ventilation at all, which will easily cause heat damage to the sows in summer

2. Most of the piglet incubators only use heat preservation lamps for heating. This heating method is easy to cause uneven heating. At the same time, because the piglets lie on the colder ground, the abdomen is easy to catch cold and cause diarrhea and diarrhea; If the box is too close to the sow, it is easy to cause the heat source of the heat lamp to flow to the sow, further harming the sow
