[0002] SPF-grade laboratory animal facilities, also known as clean animal facilities, require scientific design, construction, and strict management. An SPF clean animal facility typically consists of a housing room, health observation room, isolation and quarantine room, operating room, rooms for experimental processing and dissection, post-operative management, disease diagnosis, treatment, physiological and biochemical examination, microbiological quarantine, feed nutrition analysis, and special feed preparation, as well as storage rooms, cleaning and preparation rooms, washing and disinfection rooms, staff rooms (including offices, shower rooms, changing rooms, etc.), corridors (clean and contaminated areas), waste disposal facilities, machine rooms, and substations. Its layout should ensure a rational flow of people, animals, and materials, facilitating operations.

[0003] The feeding room is mainly used for animal feeding and observation. Traditional SPF animal housing feeding rooms mostly use feeding cages. Due to the impact of animal feces and excrement, the feeding cages need to be cleaned regularly. It is inconvenient for laboratory personnel to clean the feces and sewage, and the cleaned feces and sewage cannot be recycled. Therefore, this invention provides a feces and sewage diversion and treatment device in animal housing. Summary of the Invention

It collects feces and waste from each animal housing via a collection hopper and discharges them into a diversion box. The diversion box uses vertically arranged connecting channels and diversion pipes. The connecting channels collect feces and waste and discharge them into the diversion pipes. The diversion pipes use filter plates to block solid impurities such as feces. After diversion and filtration, a servo motor opens a flip-up sealing plate on the lower side of the diversion pipe, allowing feces to fall into the collection box for collection and compression. Simultaneously, the filtrate is pumped into the rear end of the diversion pipe and discharged together with the wastewater into a wastewater treatment component for heating and anaerobic fermentation, achieving recycling. This invention solves the problems of inconvenience for laboratory personnel in cleaning feces and the inability to recycle the cleaned feces. Furthermore, this invention does not require alteration to the original structure of the animal housing, making it more convenient to use and more versatile. Attached Figure Description
