Problems solved by technology

[0004] Currently, systems for storing and distributing feed for feeding animals during transport on board ships face the problem of requiring a considerable labor input for operation and subsequent high costs
[0007] Certainty in meeting the requirement for periodic feeding of animals, taking into account that if they were fed only feed, the weight loss could be significant;

Embodiment Construction

[0033] With reference to the drawings, the system according to the present invention is generally indicated by the reference number 1, which includes at least one silo 2, 3 for storing feed, the silo 2, 3 located in the area below the deck of the ship N.

[0034] The feed is preferably composed of spherical feed to facilitate loading and unloading operations, thereby limiting the formation of dust during operations.

[0035] Preferably, there are two silos 2, 3, and the silos 2, 3 are conventionally arranged in the two bow areas of the ship N, which are symmetrically arranged with respect to the longitudinal center plane PML of the ship N, So that the weight of the feed loaded on the ship N can be properly balanced.

[0036] The system 1 includes an automatic picking tool 4, which automatically picks up feed from the storage bins 2, 3 to transport the feed from the storage bins 2, 3 to the intermediate area 5, compared to the cabin where the animals are fed The height of 6 The middl...

Abstract

A system for stowing, preserving and distributing fodder in ships for transporting large quantities of animals, the system (1) comprising: - at least one silo (2, 3) for storing the fodder, located in a region of the ship (N) that is located below deck; - means (4) for automated drawing of the fodder from the storage silo (2, 3) to convey it into at least one intermediate region (5) located at a higher level than the level at which the compartments (6) for the animals to be fed are located; - means (7) for the automated distribution of the fodder from the intermediate region (5) to the compartments (6) for the animals to be fed.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a system for loading, preserving and distributing feed applied to ships transporting a large number of animals. Background technique [0002] As is known, it is necessary to transport animals such as sheep, cattle, camels, and ostriches when they are kept far away from the slaughter or use place, and if the amount of animals to be transported is large and the journey takes many days And to cross the sea or ocean, you must use a boat. [0003] These ships, known as livestock transportation equipment, are obtained from ships originally designed for other purposes, and then the available space is divided into stalls to accommodate animals according to needs. In these ships, large piles of feed are loaded on the upper deck in order to meet the feeding needs of the animals during the trip. During the voyage, the feed required for feeding the animals is mainly taken out from the piles of feed by hand tools (such as trolleys) and transport...
