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, a system according to the invention, generally indicated by the reference numeral 1, comprises at least one silo 2, 3 for storing feed, located in the area below the deck of a ship N.

[0034] The feed preferably consists of pellets to facilitate handling operations and thereby limit dust formation during operation.

[0035] Preferably, there are two bunkers 2, 3 which are conventionally arranged in the two bow regions of the ship N symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal median 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 pick-up tool 4 that automatically picks up feed from the storage bins 2, 3 for transporting the feed from the storage bins 2, 3 to an intermediate area 5, compared to the bin where the animals being fed A height of 6 The middle area is at a higher height.

[0037] Furthermore, the system according to the invent...

Abstract

A system for filling, storing and distributing feed on board a ship transporting a large number of animals, characterized in that the system (1) comprises at least one silo (2, 3) for storing feed, positioned on the ship In the area below the deck of (N); an automatic picking tool (4) for automatically picking up feed from storage bins (2, 3) for delivery to at least one intermediate area (5), compared to being fed the height of the cabin (6) where the fed animals are located, said at least one intermediate zone is located at a higher height; automatic distribution means (7) for distributing feed from the intermediate zone (5) to the height of the fed animals cabin (6).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a system for loading, storing and distributing feed for use on board ships transporting large numbers of animals. Background technique [0002] As is known, transporting animals such as sheep, cattle, camels, ostriches is necessary when they are kept away from the place where they are slaughtered or used, and if the amount of animals being transported is large and the journey takes many days And to cross the sea or ocean, use a boat. [0003] These boats, known as livestock transport equipment, are obtained from boats originally designed for other purposes, and the available space is then divided into stalls to accommodate animals according to needs. In these ships, large piles of feed are loaded on the upper deck to meet the feeding needs of the animals during the trip. During the voyage, the food required for feeding the animals is mainly taken from the piles of food by hand tools such as trolleys and transported to...
