Description

1. Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a pig raising method using an assembled intelligent piglet incubator, belongs to the field of animal husbandry engineering, and is used for pig raising production. 2. Background Technology

[0002] Factoryization, automation and intelligence are the inevitable trends in the development of modern pig farming. The management requirements for piglets in the lactation stage are higher. On the one hand, lactating piglets have higher temperature requirements, while on the other hand, sows have lower temperature requirements. It is inevitable that the environment where the piglets live must be partially heated. Piglet incubators solve this problem well. However, there are still many problems with the incubators currently sold on the market, such as the use of heat preservation lamps or electric heating plates for heating, and the inconvenience of transportation, cleaning, and replacement of accessories.

[0003] In current pig production, the piglet incubator is fixed, and the heat source mainly comes from heating lamps or electric heating plates. The heating lamp is relatively cheap and is hung on the piglet nursery bed, using the heat emitted by the bulb to achieve the effect of insulation; however, the temperature around the insulation bulb is low and the temperature in the middle is high. If the position of the lamp is not appropriate, it is likely to scald the livestock, but if the position is too high, it will not achieve the desired effect. The electric heating plate has a uniform temperature, which can take care of the piglet's abdominal temperature and eliminate diarrhea caused by uneven or insufficient abdominal temperature; but the pig electric heating plate is more easily damaged, and it is often not intuitively discovered after damage. The existing intelligent electric heating plate incubator is an integral structure with an integrated panel. The defects are that it is inconvenient to maintain and rinse, and the large transportation volume is inconvenient.

[0004] Suckling piglets refer to pigs from birth to weaning stage, and their age is generally from birth to about one month old. Piglet incubators are suitable for suckling piglets at this stage. Newborn piglets are very sensitive to temperature, and piglets of different ages have different temperature requirements, so accurate and automatic temperature control is particularly important.

[0005] The existing intelligent electric heating plate insulation box is an integral structure with an integrated panel, and either the bottom plate is heated or the top insulation lamp is heated. At present, there is a lack of products with dual heating of electric heating plate and infrared lamp, which can take advantage of both to overcome the defects of uneven heating by insulation lamp, large volume of electric heating plate heating, and other inconveniences such as maintenance, flushing, and transportation, and achieve uniform heating temperature, convenient maintenance, flushing, and transportation, better insulation effect, and precise automatic temperature control. III. Summary of the invention

[0006] Technical issues

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a pig farming method using an assembled intelligent piglet incubator.

[0012] The cover plate (6) is a four-sided pyramidal cover body composed of four triangular panels with a pointed top and a square bottom. The infrared lamp (10) is hung on the top of the cover plate (6), the lamp is 10 cm away from the top, and is connected to the control center (8) through wires; the temperature probe (7) is fixed to the top of the cover plate (6) in the form of a 45-degree inclined rod, located 20 cm away from the top of the cover plate (6), and is connected to the control center (8) through wires; the temperature control center (8) is installed on the top of a triangular panel of the cover plate (6); the cover plate wire trough (9) is buried in the edge of a triangular panel of the cover plate (6), and is connected to the position of the outlet of the side plate wire trough (13), and the wires between the side plate wire trough (13) and the cover plate wire trough (9) are movably connected by providing a plug and a socket;

[0013] One end of the wire is connected to the bottom plate (1) electric heating plate, and the wire passes through the panel through the bottom plate wire groove (14), the side plate wire groove (13) and the cover plate wire groove (9), and the other end is connected to the control center (8) on the cover plate (6). The wires between the panels are connected by plugs and sockets.

[0014] The parameters of the bottom plate (1) electric heating plate are: voltage is 220V, high power is 120W, low power is 60W, and the parameters of the infrared lamp (10) are: voltage is 220V, high power is 120W, low power is 60W.

[0015] The bottom plate (1) is rectangular, and each long side of the bottom plate (1) has four nut holes (11), two at the top and two in the middle, evenly distributed, and each short side has three nut holes (11), two at the top and one in the middle;

[0016] The bottom edge of the side panel (3) is provided with three nut holes (11), two at the top and one in the middle, which are connected to the three nut holes (11) on the short side edge of the bottom plate (1) correspondingly; the two sides of the side panel (3) are provided with three nut holes (11), two at the top and one in the middle, which are connected to the three nut holes (11) on the sides of the front panel (2) and the rear panel (4) correspondingly respectively;

[0022] Beneficial Effects

[0023] In current pig production, the piglet incubator is fixed, and the heat source mainly comes from the heat lamp or electric heating plate. The heat lamp is relatively cheap and is hung on the piglet nursery bed, using the heat emitted by the bulb to achieve the effect of insulation; however, the temperature around the heat lamp is low and the temperature in the middle is high. If the position of the lamp is not appropriate, it is likely to scald the livestock, but if the position is too high, it will not achieve the desired effect. The electric heating plate has a uniform temperature, which can take care of the piglet's abdominal temperature and prevent diarrhea caused by uneven or insufficient abdominal temperature; but the pig electric heating plate is often not directly discovered after it is damaged, because compared with the bulb, the damaged electric heating plate does not work and is not easy to detect.

[0024] The present invention cleverly designs dual heating of electric heating plate and infrared lamp, which can utilize the advantages of both, overcome the defects of uneven heating by heat preservation lamp, large inconvenience in maintenance, flushing and transportation of electric heating plate, etc., and achieve the effect of uniform heating temperature, better heat preservation effect and more stable effect.

It adopts a component-based design, can be assembled and disassembled, has precise automatic temperature control, is easy to transport, simple to install, and easy to repair and replace accessories. It is not only suitable for intensive pig farm production, but also suitable for pig farming by farmers.

[0026] The present invention also explored the temperature setting of the temperature control center (8) through experiments: the suitable temperature for piglets within 3 days of birth is 30°C to 32°C; the suitable temperature for piglets from 4 days to 7 days of age is 28°C to 30°C; the suitable temperature for piglets from 8 days to 14 days of age is 25°C to 28°C; the suitable temperature for piglets from 15 days to 30 days of age is 22°C to 25°C.
