Delivering and caring integrated fence

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of pig breeding equipment, and relates to a delivering and caring integrated fence which can complete delivery, breastfeeding and caring, reduce the transfer numberof piglets and increase sow welfares during delivery and piglet welfares. The delivering and caring integrated fence comprises a bottom plate, wherein a surrounding fence is arranged on the peripheryof the bottom plate; multiple sets of partitioning fences parallel to one another are arranged on the bottom plate; the partitioning fences partition the space in the surrounding fence into a sow delivering and breastfeeding area and a piglet caring area; the partitioning fences on the two sides of the sow delivering and breastfeeding area can automatically rise and fall by sensing behaviors of sows so as to facilitate the behaviors of the sows; a door for the sows to go in and out is arranged at one end of the surrounding fence between the two partitioning fences; a feeding trough for the sows is formed in the other end of the surrounding fence between the two partitioning fences; a piglet trough and an automatic drinking fountain is arranged in the caring area; and an intelligent devicecapable of recording and sensing the behavior change of pigs is arranged at an appropriate part of the whole device, and controls adjustment of the related partitioning fences. The device can reduce the stress response of the piglets and increase the welfares of the sows.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of pig breeding equipment, and relates to an integrated farrowing and nursing pen that can complete parturition, breastfeeding, and nursery, reduce the number of piglet transfers, and increase the welfare of sows during parturition and piglets. Background technique [0002] Stress response refers to a series of neuroendocrine responses mainly including sympathetic nerve excitation and pituitary-adrenal cortex secretion increase when the body is stimulated by various strong factors (i.e. stressors) inside and outside the body, and the resulting various functional and metabolic changes. Any stimulus to the animal's body or emotion, as long as it reaches a certain intensity, can become a stressor. When this stress response truly threatens the animal's health, the animal becomes uncomfortable. [0003] The existing piglets will live with the sow after birth so that the sow can breastfeed the piglets. When the piglets ar...

[0004] In addition, when the sows are waiting to give birth, they will wait in the farrowing area in the farrowing nursery. The height of the guardrails in the existing farrowing area is fixed, and the height will not change. Since different sows have different shapes, the height is fixed. Some sows will feel oppressed by the guardrail. Therefore, it is necessary to take certain measures to change the above structure and give the expectant sows a preferential treatment in terms of welfare.
