Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of poultry cage equipment, in particular to a chicken manure collecting device for caged chickens. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, caged poultry has attracted more and more attention. Through intensive caged chicken house breeding, the breeding volume has increased compared with the previous simple shed model under the same area. The chicken manure collection of intensive caged chicken houses is generally to set a track under the chicken cage to transmit the chicken manure to the rear end of the chicken house, and then the chicken manure is transported out of the chicken house by the collection device at the rear end. However, due to the high moisture content of chicken manure, the exuded manure is easy to leak from the edge of the track and flow to the ground under the track, which is difficult to clean and emits a bad smell for a long time; and it is easy to stick to the track, and accumulate and compact on the track for a long time to form manure scale, which is difficult to clean; resulting in an uneven surface of the track, which further affects the cleaning of chicken manure, forming a vicious cycle. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a caged chicken manure collection device to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention
