An automatic precision feeding system for pregnant sows and its control method

Abstract

The invention discloses an automatic precise-amount feeding system for pregnant sows. The system comprises a feed trough, a feed falling device and a control unit; the feed falling device comprises afeed storage barrel and a feed falling pipeline, the upper end of the feed falling pipeline communicates with the feed storage barrel, the lower end of the feed falling pipeline faces the feed trough,and the interior of the feed falling pipeline is provided with a rotating wheel; a rotating axis of the rotating wheel is perpendicular to an axis of the feed falling pipeline, the rotating wheel hasa plurality of feed carrying positions for accommodating feed, and during rotation of the rotating wheel, the feed carrying positions convey the feed located on the rotating wheel to the lower part of the rotating wheel; the feed falling pipeline is further provided with a driving mechanism for driving the rotating wheel, and the driving mechanism is controlled by a control unit; and the interiorof the feed trough is provided with a first sensor for sensing a remaining amount of the feed, and the first sensor is electrically connected with the control unit. Compared with the prior art, the system disclosed by the invention can feed the sows regularly and quantitatively according to the feeding characteristics of the sows, reduce a waste amount of the feed, and promote a growth process ofthe sows.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of pig farm feeding equipment, in particular to an automatic precision feeding system for pregnant sows. Background technique [0002] With the modernization and scale of animal husbandry and the enhancement of intelligence awareness, animal husbandry has experienced rapid development in recent years. Especially in the pig industry, a large number of modern pig farms have emerged across the country. In order to improve feeding efficiency, smart feeders will be one of the essential facilities for modern farms, and their market prospects are broad. The intelligent feeding system is particularly important for pregnant sows. The amount of food consumed and the time of eating have a great impact on the health of pregnant sows. At present, the characteristics of the conventional intelligent feeding methods in the industry are mostly focused on uniform timing feeding, pig house feeding, etc. In terms of monitoring and reduc...

The intelligent feeding system is particularly important for pregnant sows. The amount of food consumed and the time of eating have a great impact on the health of pregnant sows. At present, the characteristics of the conventional intelligent feeding methods in the industry are mostly focused on uniform timing feeding, pig house In terms of monitoring and reducing stress, there is generally a lack of attention to the amount of food eaten by pigs, resulting in excess or shortage of feed when pigs eat, which not only has a bad impact on the growth process of pigs, but also increases the waste of feed
