Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of animal husbandry and breeding devices, and in particular to an intelligent cub breeding device for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine and a breeding method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Animal husbandry refers to the use of livestock, poultry and other animals that have been artificially raised and domesticated by humans. Animal husbandry is an important part of agriculture.

[0003] In the process of livestock breeding, there may be weak and sickly individuals among the newborn animal cubs. In order to help these weak and sick animal cubs recover quickly, veterinary staff will generally place such animal cubs in breeding cages for individual feeding and treatment. After the animal cubs have fully recovered, they will be sent back to the animal group for normal feeding.

[0004] In the related technology, some patent documents on intelligent cub feeding devices are disclosed. The Chinese patent with application number 201822080500.7 discloses a cub feeding cage for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, including bottom support legs and a metal grille. The bottom support legs are four rectangularly distributed and placed upright, and the top ends are respectively fixed to the lower parts of the four corners of the rectangular frame. The upper surface of the rectangular frame is evenly distributed with more than four supporting and reinforcing beams. Although the technical solution of this patent solves the problem of inconvenient cleaning of cub feces, there are still certain deficiencies in actual use. When the animal cubs are weak and sick, the animal cubs are in the feeding cage. When the feces are piled up on the bottom plate, especially for small animals such as rabbits and sheep, the feces are mostly granular feces and urine. After being touched by the animals, they will roll around and pollute the entire space, which requires workers to clean up. However, during this period, the feces will not only produce certain bacteria, but also produce a strong odor, making the bottom plate hygiene poor. If the feces accumulate and the pollution is serious, the weak and sick animal cubs have poor physical resistance. Long-term exposure to such an environment is likely to induce other diseases in the animal cubs, which is not conducive to the physical recovery of the animal cubs. Therefore, the breeding cage provided by this patent cannot be well adapted to the feeding of weak and sick animal cubs. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0048] The following description is used to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement the present invention. The preferred embodiments described below are only examples, and those skilled in the art may think of other obvious variations.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 1 to 22 , the animal cub intelligent feeding device shown in the figure comprises: a base 1 with an inner cavity, the inner cavity opening of the base 1 is arranged upward, a circular fence 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, a top plate 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the circular fence 2, the base 1, the circular fence 2 and the top plate 3 form a relatively closed cage structure, which can protect the animal cubs inside, an automatic feces cleaning mechanism 4 for cleaning feces produced by the animal is arranged on the base 1, an entrance 5 is opened in the middle of the top of the top plate 3, and a door panel mechanism 6 for controlling the opening and closing of the entrance 5 is arranged on the top of the top plate 3;

[0050] The feces automatic cleaning mechanism 4 includes a pad 41 and a feces collecting bucket 42 fixedly installed horizontally in the inner cavity of the base 1. The pad 41 is horizontally movably installed on the top of the base 1. The pad 41 blocks the upper end of the inner cavity of the base 1 so that the animal cub can move on the support component 48. A plurality of through feces passing holes 43 are evenly distributed on the top of the pad 41. The feces collecting bucket 42 is located directly below the pad 41. The bottom of the feces collecting bucket 42 and the inner cavity of the base 1 form a feces temporary storage area 44, and a feces discharge port is provided on the side of the base 1 for discharging the feces stored in the feces temporary storage area 44 outward. Discharge; A driving motor 45 is fixedly installed in the middle of the bottom of the feces collecting bucket 42. The driving motor 45 is a servo motor. The driving motor 45 is controlled by a controller to run regularly. The output end of the driving motor 45 rotates upward and penetrates the bottom of the feces collecting bucket 42. The output end of the driving motor 45 is fixedly connected to a rotating cleaning member 46 in contact with the inner wall of the feces collecting bucket 42. The inner wall of the feces collecting bucket 42 is provided with a discharge port 47 adapted to the rotating cleaning member 46. When the driving motor 45 is not running, the rotating cleaning member 46 stays at the position of the discharge port 47, and the discharge port 47 is blocked;

[0051] In order to solve the problem that the environmental sanitation of the feeding cage deteriorates due to the long-term accumulation of animal feces in the feeding cage, the present invention provides an intelligent feeding device that can automatically clean animal feces. The working process of the intelligent feeding device is as follows: when the animal is in the intelligent feeding device, most of the feces produced will directly fall downward through the feces passing holes 43 at different positions on the pad 41, and then the feces will fall into the feces collecting bucket 42. The driving motor 45 can drive the rotating cleaning member 46 to swing in a circle on the upper surface of the feces collecting bucket 42, and can push the feces accumulated on the upper surface of the feces collecting bucket 42 to move until the feces moves to the position of the discharge port 47, and the feces falls downward from the discharge port 47 to the edge sealing temporary storage area. After the driving motor 45 stops running, the rotating cleaning member 46 stops at the position of the discharge port 47, and the discharge port 47 is blocked, completing the automatic cleaning operation of the animal feces. After a certain period of time, the driving motor 45 is operated again to repeat the feces cleaning operation. By setting up the automatic feces cleaning mechanism 4, the automatic cleaning function of animal feces is realized. By setting up the pad 41 with the feces passing hole 43 as the footing support structure of the animal cub, most of the feces produced by the animal cub can be directly dropped into the feces collecting bucket 42 through the feces passing hole 43, and the feces will not be accumulated on the pad 41 for a long time. It can not only reduce the contact time between the feces and the animal cub, but also significantly reduce the number of bacteria breeding on the pad 41, which plays a good protective role for the weak and sick animal cubs and is beneficial to reducing the probability of other diseases in the animal cubs; in addition, after the driving motor 45 drives the rotating cleaning member 46 to rotate to realize the automatic cleaning function of feces, the position of the discharge port 47 is set at the stop position of the rotating cleaning member 46, and the blocking function of the discharge port 47 can also be realized, which can better prevent the odor of the feces itself from spreading outward, thereby greatly improving the overall sanitation of the feeding device, and better meeting the feeding needs of weak and sick animal cubs.

[0052] In one embodiment of the present invention, the automatic feces cleaning mechanism 4 also includes a support component 48 for providing support for the pad 41, and the support component 48 includes a rectangular movable frame 481. The movable frame 481 and the pad 41 are both made of stainless steel and can well bear the weight of the animal cubs. The four corner positions of the movable frame 481 are respectively slidably connected to the corresponding positions of the circular fence 2. The top of the movable frame 481 is provided with a step groove 482 adapted to the pad 41. The outer side of the pad 41 is slidably connected to the inner side wall of the step groove 482. The door panel mechanism 6 is connected to the top of the movable frame 481. When the door panel mechanism 6 is opened, it can synchronously drive the support component 48 to move upward, so that the animal located on the support component 48 is close to the entrance 5.

[0053] In the actual use of the intelligent feeding device, considering that there may be some animal cubs with relatively short stature and the height of the feeding device is relatively high, in order to facilitate veterinary personnel to quickly take out the animal cubs from the intelligent feeding device, the support component 48 is connected and used in conjunction with the door panel mechanism 6, so that when the door panel mechanism 6 is opened, the pad 41 can be lifted to a certain height. The use process of the support component 48 is that the veterinary personnel manually operates the door panel mechanism 6 to open it, and can pull the movable frame 481 and the pad 41 upward to move together, and the animal cub located on the pad 41 also moves up with the pad 41 until the door panel mechanism 6 is fully opened. At this time, the distance between the animal cub and the entrance 5 is shortened, and the veterinary personnel can easily take out the animal cub, thereby reducing the difficulty of taking out the animal cub and increasing the flexibility of use of the intelligent feeding device.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present invention, the lower end of the inner side wall of the step groove 482 is evenly fixedly connected with a plurality of connecting springs 483, the bottom of the pad 41 is fitted with the upper ends of the plurality of connecting springs 483, and the plurality of connecting springs 483 can provide support for the pad 41, so that the top of the pad 41 can protrude upward from the movable frame 481, and the automatic feces cleaning mechanism 4 also includes a pad cleaning component 49 for cleaning the animal feces remaining on the top of the pad 41, and the pad cleaning component 49 includes a prismatic connecting rod 491 The baffle plate 4912 is fixedly connected to the railing of the circular fence 2, and a push switch 492 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the inner wall of the baffle plate 4912. The connecting rod 491 is kept on the same axis as the driving motor 45 and is vertically fixedly installed on the top of the rotating cleaning member 46. The outer sliding sleeve of the connecting rod 491 is provided with a connecting sleeve 493, and the top of the connecting sleeve 493 is fixedly connected to a square shaft 4911. The top of the square shaft 4911 slides upward and penetrates the pad 41 and is then rotated and installed. There is a cleaning scraper 494 arranged in the horizontal direction, the bottom of the cleaning scraper 494 contacts the top of the pad 41, and a first electromagnet 495 sleeved on the outside of a square rotating shaft 4911 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the cleaning scraper 494. A second electromagnet 496 located directly below the first electromagnet 495 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the square rotating shaft 4911. The outside of the second electromagnet 496 is in contact with the center of the pad 41, and a square groove matching the square rotating shaft 4911 is opened in the middle of the second electromagnet 496. The second electromagnet 496 can not only rotate with the connecting sleeve 493, but also slide vertically outside the connecting sleeve 493. The pressing switch 492 serves as a switch for energizing the first electromagnet 495 and the second electromagnet 496. The magnetic poles of the first electromagnet 495 and the second electromagnet 496 are opposite after being energized. When the door panel mechanism 6 is fully opened, the door panel mechanism 6 links with the supporting component 48 to rise, and simultaneously drives the pad 41 to rise until it fits with the bottom of the baffle plate 4912 and triggers the pressing switch 492 to start.

[0055] When the veterinarian takes the animal cub out of the intelligent feeding device, there will still be a small amount of feces on the pad 41. In order to clean up the feces, the present invention sets the pad cleaning component 49, the pad 41 and the connecting spring 483 for use together to achieve the connection between the drive motor 45 and the cleaning scraper 494, so that the drive motor 45 can drive the cleaning scraper 494 to rotate to complete the cleaning function of the feces remaining on the pad 41. The specific working process is that when the door panel mechanism 6 drives the movable frame 481 and the pad 41 to move upward, the connecting sleeve 493 can be moved upward together along the outer side of the connecting rod 491 until the door panel mechanism 6 is After being fully opened, the top of the pad 41 just contacts the push switch 492, so that the push switch 492 is triggered and started. At this time, the two first electromagnets 495 and the second electromagnets 496 are energized at the same time, while the first electromagnets 495 and the second electromagnets 496 are not in contact yet. Then, after the veterinarian takes out the animal cub, the pad 41 is no longer subjected to the downward pressure of the animal cub, and under the elastic force of multiple connecting springs 483, the pad 41 can be driven to move upward, thereby driving the second electromagnet 496 to move upward synchronously and finally fit with the bottom of the first electromagnet 495. Under the magnetic force of the two, the two can maintain a stable connection state. When the driving motor 45 rotates, it drives the connecting rod 491 and the connecting sleeve 493 to rotate together, and under the connection between the first electromagnet 495 and the second electromagnet 496, the cleaning scraper 494 can finally rotate synchronously on the top of the pad 41, which can push the feces accumulated on the top of the pad 41 to move, so that the feces can move to the position of the feces passing hole 43 and finally fall downward into the feces collecting bucket 42, thereby completing the cleaning function of the feces remaining on the pad 41. The cleaning component of the pad 41 is used in coordination with the pad 41, so that the feces automatic cleaning mechanism 4 has two cleaning modes. When the animal cub is on the pad 41, the pad 41 is cleaned. When the cleaning components and the driving motor 45 are in a separated state, the feces automatic cleaning mechanism 4 is in a mode of cleaning the feces collecting bucket 42 alone, so that the cleaning scraper 494 will not rotate with the driving motor 45, and the rotating cleaning component 46 will be prevented from being blocked by the legs of the animal cubs. When the animal cubs are not on the pad 41, the pad 41 cleaning components and the driving motor 45 are in a connected state, and the cleaning scraper 494 and the rotating cleaning component 46 rotate together with the driving motor 45. At this time, the feces automatic cleaning mechanism 4 is in a mode of cleaning the pad 41 and the feces collecting bucket 42 together, which further improves the sanitary condition of the pad 41 and provides a better living environment for the animal cubs.

[0056] When the pad 41 rises to the press switch 492 and is pressed, it contacts the bottom surface of the baffle plate 4912 at the same time. A sealing gasket can be fixed on the bottom surface of the baffle plate 4912. After the baffle plate 4912 is in contact and squeezed with the pad 41, it is sealed by the sealing gasket, thereby achieving the enclosure of the top edge of the pad 41 to prevent feces from being thrown out during the cleaning process.

[0057] In one embodiment of the present invention, the pad cleaning component 49 also includes a water storage tank 497 and a water spray pipe 498 bent at ninety degrees along the length direction of the cleaning scraper 494. The lower end of the outer surface of the water spray pipe 498 is evenly and linearly arranged with multiple water outlet short pipes 499 toward the pad 41. The water storage tank 497 is fixedly installed on the top of the top plate 3. The bottom of the water storage tank 497 is rotatably connected to an output pipe 4910 with a telescopic function. The bottom end of the output pipe 4910 is rotatably connected to a joint 4913 with an external thread. The top of the vertical section of the water spray pipe 498 is fixedly connected with a connecting sleeve 4914 with an internal thread. When the support component 48 rises to the maximum height and the animal is taken out of the support component 48, the joint 4913 is threadedly connected to the connecting sleeve 4914. When the water spray pipe 498 is not in use, a threaded sealing cover can be used to seal the connecting sleeve 4914 to prevent feces from entering the water spray pipe 498 and causing blockage. The water spray pipe 498 is composed of a rigid pipe and a telescopic pipe bent at 90 degrees, and a manual valve is provided on the rigid pipe;

[0058] When the pad cleaning component 49 is used to clean the residual feces on the pad 41, it is not easy to clean the residual feces only by rotating the cleaning scraper 494 on the top of the pad 41, and the feces may be adsorbed on the pad 41 and difficult to scrape off. Therefore, by setting a water supply structure composed of a water spray pipe 498, an output pipe 4910 and a water storage tank 497, the pad 41 can be cleaned. When the pad cleaning component 49 is used to clean the residual feces on the pad 41, the pad 41 is lifted to a certain height at this time, and then the veterinarian manually rotates the output pipe 4910 horizontally to ninety degrees, so that the bottom end of the joint 4913 is aligned with the connecting sleeve 4914, and then pulls down the bottom end of the output pipe 4910, and uses the joint 4913 to be threadedly connected with the connecting sleeve 4914. At this time, the output pipe 4910 and the spray pipe are connected. The water pipe 498 is connected, and the manual valve on the rigid pipe is opened, so that the water in the water storage tank 497 flows into the water spray pipe 498 from the output pipe 4910, and then is sprayed toward the pad 41 from the water outlet short pipe 499 on the water spray pipe 498. As the cleaning scraper 494 rotates, the feces adsorbed on the pad 41 can be rinsed and scraped off, which reduces the difficulty of cleaning the feces adsorbed on the pad 41 and makes the cleaning effect of the pad cleaning component 49 better. In addition, when the output pipe 4910 is not connected to the water spray pipe 498, it can also be used to replenish water for animal cubs. The drinking water container used by the animal cubs is placed below the bottom end of the output pipe 4910, and then the manual valve on it is manually opened to transport the water in the water storage tank 497 to the drinking water container. In this way, veterinary personnel do not need to take out the drinking water container for water replenishment, which simplifies the water replenishment operation.

[0059] After the baffle plate 4912 is in contact and squeezed with the pad 41, it is sealed by a sealing gasket to achieve the enclosure of the top edge of the pad 41 to prevent the flushing liquid from flowing out and polluting the external environment during the cleaning process.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present invention, a circular groove 4915 is provided at the bottom of the pad 41, a circular plate 4916 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the circular groove 4915, a through hole 4917 corresponding to the feces passage hole 43 is provided on the bottom surface of the circular plate 4916, an arc-shaped connecting groove 4918 is symmetrically provided on the top surface of the inner wall of the circular groove 4915, a connecting block 4919 is slidably provided on the inner wall of the arc-shaped connecting groove 4918, the connecting block 4919 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the circular plate 4916, a return spring 4920 is fixedly connected between the connecting block 4919 and the inner wall of the arc-shaped connecting groove 4918, a circular opening 4921 is provided at the middle position of the bottom of the circular plate 4916, a rubber gasket 4922 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular opening 4921, a connecting sleeve 493 passes through the circular opening 4921, and an extrusion protrusion 4923 cooperating with the rubber gasket 4922 is fixedly connected to the surface of the connecting sleeve 493;

[0061] When cleaning the feces on the pad 41 and the pad cleaning component 49 is driven to rotate, the connecting sleeve 493 will drive the extrusion protrusion 4923 to rotate. When the extrusion protrusion 4923 moves to the rubber gasket 4922, it will generate friction and push with the rubber gasket 4922, and then push the circular plate 4916 to rotate. The circular plate 4916 will drive the yielding hole 4917 to be staggered with the feces passing hole 43, so as to achieve the blocking of the feces passing hole 43. In the process of the extrusion protrusion 4923 contacting the rubber gasket 4922, the flushing water is collected for a certain period of time. Then, after the connecting block 4919 slides to contact the inner wall of the arc-shaped connecting groove 4918, the circular plate 4916 is positioned and no longer rotates with the extrusion protrusion 4923. The circular plate 4916 moves and rotates, and after the extrusion protrusion 4923 is separated from the rubber gasket 4922, the circular plate 4916 will be instantly pushed to reset under the support of the reset spring 4920, and the connection between the make way hole 4917 and the feces passing hole 43 is restored. The collected water will immediately pass through the feces passing hole 43 and the make way hole 4917 and then fall onto the inner wall of the feces collecting bucket 42 to flush the sticky feces. Since the position of the circular plate 4916 has been raised, the gravitational potential energy is increased, and the stored energy generated by the collected water increases the jet force of the water passing through the feces passing hole 43. Under the dual effects of the gravitational potential energy and the jet force, the force of the water falling on the inner wall of the feces collecting bucket 42 is increased, which is beneficial to thoroughly flush the sticky feces.

[0062] In one embodiment of the present invention, the door panel mechanism 6 includes two door panels 61 and two traction components 62. The two door panels 61 are horizontally symmetrically slidably installed at the top of the top panel 3 at positions corresponding to the entrance 5. When the two door panels 61 are closed, the entrance 5 can be just blocked. The two traction components 62 are respectively used to connect the two door panels 61 to the two sides of the top of the movable frame 481. The two sides of the top panel 3 are symmetrically provided with device grooves 7. The traction component 62 includes two tooth plates 621 that are symmetrically fixedly installed at the bottom of the door panels 61 and slidably installed on the bottom wall of the device groove 7 and are bent at ninety degrees. The upper surface of the segment is provided with teeth, and a winding wheel 622 is rotatably connected between the two opposite inner side walls of the device groove 7 and near the end position of the horizontal segment of the tooth plate 621. The winding wheel 622 is composed of a rotating shaft and a winding wheel. The winding wheel is fixedly sleeved on the middle position of the outer side of the rotating shaft. Two gears 623 are fixedly sleeved at both ends of the winding wheel 622. The lower ends of the two gears 623 are respectively meshed with the teeth on the horizontal segments of the two tooth plates 621. A connecting rope 624 is wound around the winding wheel 622. The bottom end of the connecting rope 624 is movable through the top plate 3 and finally fixedly connected to the top of the movable frame 481.

[0063] When the veterinary staff needs to take the animal cub out of the intelligent feeding device, the door panel mechanism 6 needs to be opened first. When the door panel mechanism 6 is in use, the two door panels 61 are pulled to the sides by both hands respectively, so that the two door panels 61 are gradually opened. At the same time, the door panels 61 can drive the two tooth plates 621 to slide horizontally inside the device groove 7, and drive the two gears 623 to rotate together. The synchronous rotation of the two gears 623 can drive the winding wheel 622 to rotate. At this time, the winding wheel 622 gradually shortens the connecting rope 624, so that the connecting rope 624 can pull the movable frame 481 and the pad 41 to move up together, until the two door panels 61 are fully opened, so that the movable frame 481 and the pad 41 move up to the highest position. The animal cub is also raised a certain distance along with the pad 41, at which time the veterinary staff can directly take out the animal cub. By setting the door panel mechanism 6 and cooperating with the movable frame 481, the pad 41 and the animal cub can be lifted to a certain height while the door panel 61 is opened. On the one hand, the height between the pad 41 and the entrance 5 is shortened, thereby facilitating the veterinary staff to manually take out the animal cub. On the other hand, the lifted movable frame 481 can trigger the press switch 492 to start, thereby realizing the automatic connection between the pad cleaning component 49 and the drive motor 45. At the same time, it is also convenient to connect the output pipe 4910 with the water spray pipe 498, so that the pad cleaning component 49 has the function of flushing the pad 41.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of positioning holes 8 are symmetrically opened on the top of the top plate 3, and the door panel mechanism 6 further comprises two holding parts 63 respectively arranged on the tops of the two door panels 61, and the holding parts 63 comprise an inverted U-shaped handle 631, and the bottom ends of the two vertical sections of the handle 631 are fixedly connected with a locking card shaft 632, and the bottom end of the locking card shaft 632 slides through the bottom of the door panel 61 and then engages with one of the positioning holes 8, and the outer side of the locking card shaft 632 is sleeved with a support spring 633;

[0065] In order to ensure that the door panel 61 is in a stationary state after the door panel mechanism 6 is opened, so that the staff can free their hands to take out the cubs, the gripping component 63 is provided to realize the position locking function of the door panel 61 when it is opened and closed. When opening the door panel mechanism 6, the gripping handle 631 is manually pulled upwards, which can drive the two locking card shafts 632 to move upward synchronously and squeeze the two supporting springs 633 respectively until the gripping handle 631 moves up to the maximum position, so that the locking card shaft 632 is completely separated from the positioning hole 8. At this time, the door panel 61 is no longer affected The clamping action can push the door panel 61 until the door panel 61 moves to the maximum distance, just so that the two locking card shafts 632 are aligned with the other set of positioning card holes. At this time, the grip 631 is released, and the locking card shaft 632 can be driven to move downward under the elastic force of the support spring 633 and finally be clamped with the positioning card hole, so that the door panel 61 can be locked again, so that the door panel 61 remains in a stationary state. The gripping component 63 increases the safety of the door panel mechanism 6 when in use, and is convenient for veterinary personnel to manually operate on the intelligent feeding device;

[0066] While keeping the door panel 61 in the open state, the height of the pad 41 after being lifted is also synchronously positioned to maintain the stability of the flushing state.

[0067] In one embodiment of the present invention, the middle of the feces collecting bucket 42 is set to be a truncated cone-shaped downward depression, so that the fallen feces can be concentrated in the middle position of the feces collecting bucket 42, which is convenient for the rotating cleaning member 46 to concentrate on cleaning the feces. The discharge port 47 is located in the horizontal section of the bottom wall of the feces collecting bucket 42, and the width of the rotating cleaning member 46 is greater than the width of the discharge port 47, so that the rotating cleaning member 46 can fully block the discharge port 47.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present invention, the inner cavity of the connecting sleeve 493 is set as a square cavity, and the square connecting rod 491 and the square connecting sleeve 493 slide together, so that when the connecting rod 491 rotates following the rotating cleaning member 46, the connecting sleeve 493 can rotate synchronously, and the length of the cleaning scraper 494 is greater than the radius of multiple feces passing holes 43 areas, ensuring that the cleaning scraper can effectively cover the feces passing holes 43 areas.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present invention, the circular fence 2 is composed of a plurality of vertically arranged steel pipes, and an observation door panel 9 is hinged on one side of the circular fence 2. The observation door panel 9 is used for veterinary personnel to observe animal cubs or replenish food for animal cubs, etc., when there is no need to take the animal cubs out.

[0070] In addition, the present invention also provides a method for raising animal cubs, comprising the following steps:

[0071] S1, manually open the door panel mechanism 6;

[0072] S2, then put the animal cub on the pad 41 through the entrance 5, and then close the door panel mechanism 6;

[0073] S3, the feces automatic cleaning mechanism 4 is operated to automatically clean the generated feces to prevent excessive feces from accumulating on the pad 41;

[0074] S4, observing the conditions of the animals in the circular fence 2, opening the door panel mechanism 6, adding food to the intelligent cub feeding device for animal husbandry and veterinary use, and observing the conditions of the animal cubs.

[0075] The working principle of the intelligent cub feeding device for animal husbandry and veterinary medicine provided by the present invention is as follows:

[0076] Step 1: When the animal cub is normally placed in the intelligent feeding device for feeding, most of the feces directly falls downward through the feces through the feces through hole 43 on the pad 41 into the feces collecting bucket 42, and then the feces are cleaned into the feces temporary storage area 44 by the rotating cleaning member 46;

[0077] Step 2: When taking the animal cub out of the intelligent feeding device, the door panel mechanism 6 is manually opened, so that the pad 41 and the movable frame 481 are lifted synchronously, and the animal cub is close to the entrance 5. The veterinary staff takes the animal cub out. At this time, the pad cleaning component 49 is connected to the drive motor 45. The rotation of the drive motor 45 can make the rotating cleaning component 46 and the cleaning scraper 494 rotate synchronously, thereby realizing the synchronous cleaning operation of the pad 41 and the feces collection bucket 42.
