However, female Muscovy ducks often exhibit nesting behavior when laying eggs, and the eggs need to be collected and processed manually in a timely manner, which is quite troublesome. Furthermore, leaving the eggs in the nest for a long time can easily lead to bacterial growth.
[0003] To address the problems raised in the background art, those skilled in the art have proposed a device for reducing egg damage in laying boxes of female Muscovy ducks. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a device for reducing egg damage in laying boxes of female Muscovy ducks. This addresses the issue in the prior art where farms focus on selecting female Muscovy ducks for breeding, but these female ducks often exhibit nesting behavior, requiring timely manual collection and processing of the eggs, which is quite troublesome.
[0005] A device for reducing egg damage in laying boxes of female Muscovy ducks includes a rearing box, the outer wall of which is fitted with multiple ventilation mesh panels;
[0006] The disinfection mechanism includes a storage cylinder, a water outlet pipe, a spray head, an infrared detector, and a control mechanism. The storage cylinder is installed at the top of the breeding box, the water outlet pipe is installed at the bottom of the storage cylinder, and the spray head is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water outlet pipe. The infrared detector is installed on the inner wall of the ventilation mesh plate, and the control mechanism is installed on the inner wall of the ventilation mesh plate. The control mechanism is connected to the infrared detector via a wire, and the end of the control mechanism away from the infrared detector is connected to the spray head via a wire. The inner wall of the breeding box is provided with a disassembly mechanism, which includes a blocking pad, a connecting groove, an egg-laying box, a storage groove, a lubricating wheel, a rotating handle, and a limiting lever. The blocking pad is installed on the inner wall of the breeding box, and the connecting groove is formed on the inner wall of the breeding box.
[0007] Preferably, the egg-laying box is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove, the storage groove is opened at the top of the egg-laying box, and the lubrication wheels are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the egg-laying box in multiple sets.
[0008] Preferably, the rotating handle is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the egg-laying box, the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating handle, and the limiting rod is engaged with the inner wall of the breeding box.
[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the breeding box is provided with a rinsing mechanism, which includes a connecting water pipe, a water outlet, a connecting box, a connecting rotating plate, a fixing rod, a filter plate, and a baffle plate. The connecting water pipe is installed on the inner wall of the breeding box.
[0010] Preferably, the water outlet is installed on the outer wall of the connecting water pipe, and the connecting box is installed on the outer wall of the breeding box.
[0011] Preferably, the connecting rotating plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting box in multiple ways, and the fixing rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting box in multiple ways.
[0012] Preferably, the multiple connecting plates and the multiple fixed rods are movably connected, the multiple filter plates are installed on the inner side wall of the connecting box, and the multiple baffle plates are fixedly connected to the bottom end of the multiple filter plates.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] 1. This invention, through the design of a disinfection mechanism, facilitates the regular disinfection of eggs in the laying boxes of Muscovy duck farms. The intermittent spraying from the spray nozzles disinfects the eggs. Furthermore, the low temperature of the disinfectant water helps lower the temperature under the abdomen of any female Muscovy duck that wants to incubate the eggs, preventing them from spoiling due to overheating. The disassembly mechanism allows the entire laying box to be easily pulled out, enabling staff to collect and retrieve the eggs without entering the box.
[0018] 2. The flushing mechanism of this invention can flush the manure at the top of the breeding box, so that the manure is carried into the connecting box by water spraying through the water outlet. Most of the manure and water are separated by the filtration device, so that the manure enters the biogas digester at the bottom, where it can be converted into fuel. The remaining part can be used as fertilizer.
[0019] 3. The present invention provides a convenient water supply mechanism for Muscovy ducks, making it easy for them to drink. Unlike existing methods, the overall device makes it more difficult for Muscovy ducks to fly up, and the protective top plate can prevent them from stepping into the water channel while drinking, thus avoiding contamination of the drinking water and the occurrence of diseases.

[0028] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention.
[0029] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 7 As shown:
[0030] Example 1: The present invention provides a device for reducing egg damage in laying boxes of female Muscovy ducks, including a breeding box 1, wherein a plurality of ventilation mesh panels 11 are installed on the outer side wall of the breeding box 1;
[0031] The disinfection mechanism includes a storage tank 2, a water outlet pipe 21, a spray head 22, an infrared detector 23, and a control mechanism 24. The storage tank 2 is installed at the top of the breeding box 1, the water outlet pipe 21 is installed at the bottom of the storage tank 2, and the spray head 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the water outlet pipe 21. The infrared detector 23 is installed on the inner wall of the ventilation mesh plate 11, and the control mechanism 24 is installed on the inner wall of the ventilation mesh plate 11. The control mechanism 24 is connected to the infrared detector 23 via a wire, and the end of the control mechanism 24 away from the infrared detector 23 is connected to the spray head 22 via a wire. A disassembly mechanism is provided on the inner wall of the breeding box 1, and the disassembly mechanism includes a blocking mechanism. The components include a soft pad 25, a connecting groove 26, an egg-laying box 27, a storage groove 28, a lubricating wheel 29, a rotating handle 210, and a limiting rod 211. The soft pad 25 is installed on the inner wall of the breeding box 1. The connecting groove 26 is opened on the inner wall of the breeding box 1. The egg-laying box 27 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove 26. The storage groove 28 is opened at the top of the egg-laying box 27. The lubricating wheel 29 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the egg-laying box 27 in multiple sets. The rotating handle 210 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the egg-laying box 27. The limiting rod 211 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating handle 210 and is engaged with the inner wall of the breeding box 1.
[0032] As can be seen from the above, the partitions inside the breeding box 1 allow for the separation of individual female Muscovy ducks for separate rearing. When female Muscovy ducks need to lay eggs, they mostly choose softer areas, thus choosing to lay eggs in the egg-laying box 27. Therefore, eggs can be collected without the need for collection. The infrared detector 23 can detect the number of female Muscovy ducks passing through. Once a certain number is reached, the control mechanism 24 controls the on / off switch of the spray head 22, causing the spray head 22 to spray disinfectant onto the top of the egg-laying box 27, ensuring that bacteria on the surface of the egg-laying box 27 are kept at a low level. In this state, after a certain period of time, the staff rotates the handle 210, causing the handle 210 to rotate down along with the limit lever 211, thus releasing the limit on the egg-laying box 27. Then, the egg-laying box 27 is pulled out from the connecting groove 26. When pulling it out, some eggs may be at the top of the egg-laying box 27. When pulling it out, the soft pad 25 can push the eggs into the storage groove 28 with less force. The lubricating wheel 29 can facilitate the pulling of the egg-laying box 27. After the egg-laying box 27 is pulled out, the eggs stored in the storage groove 28 can be collected.
[0033] Example 2: The inner wall of the breeding tank 1 is provided with a rinsing mechanism, which includes a connecting water pipe 3, a water outlet 31, a connecting box 32, a connecting rotating plate 33, a fixing rod 34, a filter plate 35, and a baffle plate 36. The connecting water pipe 3 is installed on the inner wall of the breeding tank 1, the water outlet 31 is installed on the outer wall of the connecting water pipe 3, the connecting box 32 is installed on the outer wall of the breeding tank 1, multiple connecting rotating plates 33 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the connecting box 32, multiple fixing rods 34 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting box 32, and multiple connecting rotating plates 33 and multiple fixing rods 34 are movably connected to each other. Multiple filter plates 35 are installed on the inner wall of the connecting box 32, and multiple baffle plates 36 are fixedly connected to the bottom of multiple filter plates 35.
[0034] As can be seen from the above, when it is necessary to clean the feces of the female Muscovy ducks in the breeding box 1, water is supplied through the connecting water pipe 3, and the water outlet 31 sprays out to clean the breeding box 1, flushing away the feces into the connecting box 32. By pulling open the connecting rotating plate 33, the road surface can be lifted, and then the feces and water are separated by the filter plate 35. The feces carrying a small amount of water enter the biogas digester, and the water flows out from the filter plate 35, preventing excessive water storage in the biogas digester.
[0035] Example 3: The inner wall of the breeding tank 1 is provided with a water supply mechanism, which includes a water storage tank 4, a water injection head 41, a water inlet channel 42, a corrugated storage plate 43, and a protective top plate 44. Multiple water storage tanks 4 are installed on the inner wall of the breeding tank 1, multiple water inlet channels 42 are installed on the outer wall of multiple water storage tanks 4, multiple corrugated storage plates 43 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of multiple water inlet channels 42, and multiple protective top plates 44 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of multiple water inlet channels 42.
[0036] As can be seen from the above, the water tank 4 supplies water to the water channel 42, so that a certain amount of water is stored in the water channel 42 for the mother duck to drink. The protective top plate 44 can protect the top of the water channel 42 to prevent the mother duck from stepping into the water channel 42 when drinking, which would cause the drinking water to be contaminated. Setting the water channel 42 in a suitable drinking position can also prevent the duck from flying up to a certain extent.
[0037] The embodiments of the present invention are given for the purposes of illustration and description. Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
