Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of large-scale pig farm facilities, and in particular relates to an intensive sow farrowing pen and a pen construction method. Background Art

[0002] In the pig houses of existing large-scale pig farms, multiple sow farrowing pens are almost always arranged side by side. This type of multiple sow farrowing pens arranged side by side is also called intensive sow farrowing pens. Along the length of the sow farrowing pens, two sow farrowing pens are separated, and the interval area serves as a passage for pigs to enter and exit.

[0003] However, the existing farrowing pens require at least multiple passages with a width of 0.8 to 1 m, which seriously wastes pig house space. This is contrary to the efficient breeding of intensive pig farms, especially building pig farms, and it is difficult to smoothly and quickly introduce sows into the corresponding farrowing pens. Summary of the Invention

[0004] At least in order to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide an intensive sow farrowing pen and a pen construction method.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solutions.

[0006] A intensive sow farrowing pen, comprising several sow farrowing pen units arranged in parallel, each sow farrowing pen unit comprising a sow living area and two piglet activity areas arranged in the fence, the two piglet activity areas being located on both sides of the sow living area, facilities for the sow and piglets to live being provided in the fence, the sow living area and the piglet activity area being separated by a fence frame, characterized in that any two adjacent sow farrowing pen units are arranged closely together, each fence being composed of a first fence section, a middle fence section and a second fence section, the middle fence section being provided with a movable fence that can be opened and closed; when the movable fence is in an open state, the space where the movable fence is located serves as a passage for the sow to enter and exit horizontally, and the sow living area and the two piglet activity areas are connected; when the movable fence is in a closed state, the sow living area and the two piglet activity areas are not connected to each other.

[0007] As a preferred solution, the movable fence adopts a gate fence that can be opened and closed horizontally, or a gate fence that can be opened and closed up and down.

[0008] Furthermore, all individual farrowing pen pens share the same slatted floor.

[0009] As a preferred solution, the connection parts between the first section of the fence and the middle section of the fence, and the connection parts between the middle section of the fence and the second section of the fence are both locked with locking fasteners.

[0010] In order to make the sows' lives more comfortable, the troughs in two adjacent sow farrowing pen units are close to each other along the length direction of the sow farrowing pen unit.

[0011] A method for constructing a pen using the aforementioned intensive sow farrowing stall comprises the following steps:

[0012] Step 1: Open the movable pens of all sow farrowing pens;

[0013] Step 2: first introduce the first farrowing sow into the first farrowing pen, and then close all the movable pens of the first farrowing pen;

[0014] Step 3: first introduce the second sow to be born into the second sow farrowing pen unit, and then close all the movable pens of the second sow farrowing pen unit; then, introduce the third sow to be born into the third sow farrowing pen unit, and then close all the movable pens of the third sow farrowing pen unit, and repeat this process until all sows to be born are introduced into the corresponding sow farrowing pen units.

[0015] A second method for constructing a pen using the aforementioned intensive sow farrowing pen comprises the following steps:

[0016] Step 1: Open the movable pens of all sow farrowing pen units and rotate all the movable pens except the first one by approximately 90 degrees to separate the sow living area into three spaces using the movable pens;

[0017] Step 2: first introduce the first farrowing sow into the first farrowing pen, and then close all the movable pens of the first farrowing pen;

[0018] Step 3: first introduce the second sow to be born into the second sow farrowing pen unit, and then close all the movable pens of the second sow farrowing pen unit; then, introduce the third sow to be born into the third sow farrowing pen unit, and then close all the movable pens of the third sow farrowing pen unit, and repeat this process until all sows to be born are introduced into the corresponding sow farrowing pen units.

[0019] Beneficial effects: The present invention provides a new sow farrowing pen with an extremely clever and simple solution, which greatly improves the space utilization rate in the pig house. Compared with the traditional solution, the space utilization rate can be increased by at least 30%, eliminating the separation passages between adjacent sow farrowing pens, and can more smoothly and quickly introduce sows into the corresponding sow farrowing pens; when in use, the sow to be given birth enters the corresponding sow living area through the middle section of the sow farrowing pen, which is very convenient.
