Novel welfare sow obstetric table

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of livestock breeding, and discloses a novel welfare sow obstetric table which comprises a sow area, a sow feeding trough, piglet activity areas, a piglet incubator,heat preservation lamp reserved holes formed in the top of the piglet incubator and steel pipe fences on the periphery of the sow obstetric table. The piglet activity areas are arranged at the two sides of the sow area, and the sow area is separated from the piglet activity areas through piglet protection fences; the piglet incubator is arranged at the lateral rear part of the sow area, and is connected with the piglet activity area at one side of each of two adjacent obstetric tables; and a heating pipe is laid at the bottom of the piglet incubator. The novel welfare sow obstetric table is simple in design, convenient to implement, easy to operate, safe and practical, the living environment temperature of piglets can be efficiently regulated and controlled, ventilation and cooling of thesow area are guaranteed, and a larger activity space and a fresher air environment are provided for piglet activities. The operation cost can be reduced, and the piglet survival rate and the sow production performance are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal husbandry, in particular to a novel welfare type farrowing bed for sows. Background technique [0002] At present, the farrowing bed for sows used in production is a steel pipe fence structure, located in the center of the pig house, and multiple farrowing beds are arranged side by side. Two piglet incubators are installed in the middle of each two farrowing beds. The opening of the incubator faces Both sides are used for newborn piglets on two farrowing beds. The problems of these sow farrowing beds are as follows: 1. Due to the underdeveloped body heat regulation function of piglets, they are especially afraid of cold, so newborn piglets require a higher temperature, which is the most suitable at the beginning of birth. The temperature is 35°C, and the optimum temperature for sows is 18-20°C. In order to ensure that both sows and piglets have a suitable ambient temperature, most farrowing rooms a...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] At present, the farrowing bed for sows used in production is a steel pipe fence structure, located in the center of the pig house, and multiple farrowing beds are arranged side by side. Two piglet incubators are installed in the middle of each two farrowing beds. The opening of the incubator faces Both sides are used for newborn piglets on two farrowing beds. The problems of these sow farrowing beds are as follows: 1. Due to the underdeveloped body heat regulation function of piglets, they are especially afraid of cold, so newborn piglets require a higher temperature, which is the most suitable at the beginning of birth. The temperature is 35°C, and the optimum temperature for sows is 18-20°C. In order to ensure that both sows and piglets have a suitable ambient temperature, most farrowing rooms are designed with longitudinal mechanical ventilation perpendicular to the sows. To cool down, the heat preservation lamp is installed in the piglet incubator to heat up the piglets, so that due to the obstruction of the incubator, the sows will not enjoy ventilation at all, which will easily cause heat damage to the sows in summer

2. Most of the piglet incubators only use heat preservation lamps for heating. This heating method is easy to cause uneven heating. At the same time, because the piglets lie on the colder ground, the abdomen is easy to catch cold and cause diarrhea and diarrhea; If the box is too close to the sow, it is easy to cause the heat source of the heat lamp to flow to the sow, further harming the sow
