Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pig breeding, in particular to a piglet feeding device. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid growth of population, the demand for meat is also increasing. Among them, pork is the most in-demand meat in my country. With the continuous increase in demand, more challenges have been posed to the pig farming industry, especially the early care of piglets, which has become a key link in determining the efficiency and economic benefits of the entire production chain. After the piglets are born, they are generally fed with breast milk by sows. Sows generally give birth to multiple piglets in one litter, and the number of piglets exceeds the number of sow nipples, resulting in the piglets not being able to eat breast milk or only eating less breast milk. Therefore, some piglets need to be artificially fed with breast milk in pig farms. The traditional way is generally for staff to directly feed piglets with bottles. Artificial feeding is not only inefficient, but also has a relatively high labor intensity for staff. Therefore, in some intelligent pig farms, automatic feeding equipment will be used to reduce manual participation. In the early stage, piglets have low immunity and need to keep the nipples clean and sterile. However, the automatic feeding equipment still requires manual regular cleaning of the nipples, which is inefficient and cannot guarantee the cleaning effect. In addition, while cleaning the nipples, it is impossible to feed the piglets. Utility Model Content

[0023] A lifting plate 8 is arranged above the main pipe 3, and the electric push rod 7 can drive the lifting plate 8 to rise and fall. When the lifting plate 8 descends, the cleaning tube 9 at its bottom can be moved to the outside of the sub-pipeline 4 and the nipple 5, and the nipple 5 is covered therein. Then, the ultraviolet disinfection lamp 10 is turned on to clean and disinfect the nipple 5, thereby realizing automatic cleaning of the nipple 5, avoiding contact of the piglets with germs when sucking, reducing the probability of the piglets becoming ill, and improving the survival rate.
