Detachable and movable sheep metabolism cage

Abstract

The invention provides a sheep metabolism cage which comprises a detachable cage body. A plurality of gaps are formed in a base plate of the cage body in parallel. A filter net is arranged below the base plate. A urine collecting disc is arranged below the filter net. The filter net and the urine collecting disc can be pulled back and forth to be taken out. A detachable sheep manger and a sheep water tank are arranged in front of the cage body. According to the sheep metabolism cage, all the components of the cage body are designed to be in a detachable mode, disassembling and assembling can be achieved at any time and any place, and the defects that the occupied area is large when the sheep metabolism cage is empty, and the transportation cost is high when the sheep metabolism cage is transferred to another place are overcome. The metabolism cage provides a more comfortable environment for sheep participate in an experiment, dual-layer filtering is achieved, and good excrement and urine separation is achieved; urine and excrement of each sheep can be independently and conveniently collected, so that more accurate and convenient collection conditions are provided for digestion metabolism experiment data of the sheep.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the mechanical field, in particular to a sheep metabolic cage. Background technique [0002] At present, when studying the laws of digestion and metabolism of nutrients by animals, the experimental animals are generally raised in digestion and metabolism cages to collect and sample the digestion and metabolism substances of the animals. Traditional sheep digestion and metabolism cages are one-piece, complex in structure, occupy a large area when empty, and have high design costs. When another farm needs to do sheep digestion and metabolism experiments, the bulk freight costs are high. Moreover, feces and urine cannot be separated in time, and the collection is difficult and incomplete; the feeding habits of the participating sheep have changed a lot, leading to problems such as strong stress in the sheep, thus affecting the accuracy of the experimental data. Contents of the invention [0003] The purpose of the present inve...
