AI Technical Summary
Existing pig scratching devices cannot effectively prevent pigs from scratching intermittently and repeatedly. The scratching efficiency is low, the devices are easily damaged, and they cannot achieve precise itch relief.
The device employs a specially designed toothed plate with through holes and recesses. Combined with an antipruritic liquid supply system, the toothed plates are staggered to improve antipruritic efficiency, and the liquid is precisely applied through the gaps between the toothed plates.
It significantly increased the time pigs spent scratching themselves, reduced the number of times pigs scratched themselves within a specific time period, extended the lifespan of the equipment, and achieved precise itch relief and comfort.
