Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of broiler breeding, and in particular relates to a modular chicken house and a breeding mode control method. Background Art

[0002] There are several modes of broiler breeding, including free-range, caged, flat, and a combination of caged and flat. The caged model can increase the stocking density, effectively utilize the space in the house, increase weight quickly, have high feed efficiency, reduce the chance of coccidiosis infection, and facilitate mechanized operation, but the equipment investment is large and it is not convenient for chickens to move around. The flat model has the advantages of low investment, simplicity and ease of operation, and is conducive to increasing chicken appetite and good chicken quality, but it occupies a large area, is troublesome to handle litter, and chickens are easily in direct contact with feces, making coccidiosis difficult to control. The combination of caged and flat models combines the advantages of caged and flat to a certain extent. Generally, caged breeding is implemented during the brooding period (1-3 weeks of age), and ground flat breeding is implemented during the fattening period (4-6 weeks of age).

[0003] For the combination of cage and floor raising, chickens are usually kept in regular cages in the chicken house during the brooding period, and are driven out or introduced to spacious ground for raising after the brooding period. However, the operation of switching from cage to floor raising is very troublesome, time-consuming and laborious. For example, if all the chickens in one hundred cages are switched to floor raising mode one by one, the switching operation takes about fifteen hours and is easy to cause stress to the chickens. More importantly, as the cage raising time increases, broilers will actively reduce the amount of exercise (the inertia characteristic of animals), and how to smoothly, friendly and batch guide broilers to exercise and improve their flying ability is a difficult problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the technical problems mentioned in the background technology, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a modular chicken house and a breeding method control method.

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

[0006] A modular chicken house comprises a plurality of broiler breeding boxes arranged at intervals, wherein the top plate and the bottom plate of the broiler breeding boxes are fixedly connected to a supporting frame, and the four side plates of the broiler breeding boxes are hingedly connected to the supporting frame.

[0007] As a preferred solution, the four side panels have the same specifications, the hinge points of the four side panels are all arranged on the supporting frame and are located at a position substantially flush with the bottom plate, and the top edges of the four side panels serve as free movable ends.

[0008] Furthermore, the four side panels are connected to the support frame through a telescopic mechanism.

[0009] Furthermore, after the side panel is flipped downward to the middle position, the side panel (the side panel in the middle position) and the bottom panel are basically located in the same plane, and the side panel (the side panel in the middle position) has an angle of 3~5° relative to the bottom panel, and the edges of the side panels of adjacent broiler breeding boxes can just be abutted against each other and spliced, so that the side panel (the side panel in the middle position) and the bottom panel together form a broiler activity floor, and the space between all the top panels and the broiler activity floor serves as a broiler activity space.

[0010] Furthermore, a plurality of broiler breeding boxes are placed in an overlapping manner to realize a multi-layer switchable breeding space.

[0011] Further, part of the side panels are connected to the ground through an inclined plate, and the inclined plate serves as a passage for the broilers to walk up and down. Preferably, the broiler breeding boxes at the same level adopt a linear layout structure.

[0012] A method for controlling a farming method using the aforementioned modular chicken house, The steps of switching from cage breeding to flat breeding are as follows: controlling the telescopic mechanism of the broiler breeding box to work, so that the side plate (the side plate corresponding to the telescopic mechanism in the working state) is flipped down to the middle position, and then maintaining this state, at this time, all the spaces between the top plate and the broiler activity floor are used as broiler flat breeding space; The steps for switching from flat breeding to cage breeding are as follows: control the telescopic mechanism of the broiler breeding box to make its side panels (side panels corresponding to the telescopic mechanism in the working state) flip upward to the extreme position. At this time, the broiler breeding box is composed of four side panels, a top panel and a bottom panel.

[0013] Furthermore, during the flat-raising process, the telescopic mechanism is controlled to work regularly, so that the side panels are flipped down to the lower limit position (the side panels are tilted downward and form an angle of 45-60° with the horizontal plane), and then the side panels in the middle position are reset to the middle position. This solution can guide broilers to increase their exercise in a smoother, more friendly and batch manner, and is particularly conducive to guiding multiple broilers to perform flying exercises / exercises at the same time.

[0014] As a preferred option, cage farming is adopted during the brooding period; during the fattening period, the cage farming method is switched to flat farming method for breeding.

[0015] Beneficial effects: The scheme of the present invention can not only quickly switch the cage-raising mode to the flat-raising mode (taking the example of switching all the chickens in one hundred breeding cages to the flat-raising mode, the switching operation can be completed within one minute, and will not cause stress to the chickens), but also greatly simplifies the switching operation process, making the operation easier, saving time and effort, and more importantly, the switching operation can be performed directly in the cage-raising position; more importantly, the present invention can smoothly, friendly and batch-guide broilers to increase their exercise, which is especially beneficial for guiding multiple broilers to perform flying exercises at the same time, greatly improving the broilers' flying ability.

Among them, the specifications of the four side panels 13 on each broiler breeding box 1 are the same, and the hinge points of the four side panels 13 are all set on the support frame 12 and are located at a position basically flush with the bottom plate 11, and the top edges of the four side panels 13 serve as free movable ends. The four side panels 13 are connected to the support frame 12 through a telescopic mechanism (specifically, a small hoisting mechanism that can reel in and lengthen the cable, including a motor, a guide wheel and a cable / rope, one end of the cable is connected to the reel, and the other end is connected to the side panel 13). After the four side panels 13 are flipped down to the middle position, the four side panels 13 and the bottom plate 11 are basically located in the same plane (the state at this time is as shown in FIG. 1 ). Figure 2 As shown), the four side panels 13 have an angle of 3 to 5° relative to the bottom panel 11, and the edges of the side panels 13 of adjacent broiler breeding boxes 1 can just be close to each other and spliced ​​(as shown). Figure 6 As shown), all the side panels 13 and the bottom panel 11 together form a broiler activity floor, and the space between all the top panels 10 and the broiler activity floor serves as the broiler activity space. Three broiler breeding boxes 1 are placed in an overlapping manner to realize a three-layer switchable breeding space. Among them, each layer has four side panels 13 (defined as special side panels) connected to the ground through an inclined plate 14, and the inclined plate 14 serves as a passage for the broilers to walk up and down. When the special side panel is flipped down to the extreme position, the special side panel is attached to or close to the top surface of the inclined plate 14. On the whole, the broiler breeding boxes 1 at the same height adopt a linear layout structure.

[0019] A method for controlling the breeding mode of a modular chicken house in this embodiment, in the brooding period, cage breeding is adopted; in the fattening period, the cage breeding mode is switched to the flat breeding mode for breeding. The steps of switching from the cage breeding mode to the flat breeding mode are: controlling the telescopic mechanism of all broiler breeding boxes 1 to work, so that all side panels 13 are flipped down to the middle position (such as Figure 2 and 3 As shown), and then maintain this state, at this time, the space between all the top plates 10 and the broiler activity floor is used as the broiler flat breeding space; the step of switching from the flat breeding mode to the cage breeding mode is: control the telescopic mechanism of all broiler breeding boxes 1 to work, so that all the side plates 13 are flipped upward to the extreme position, and at this time, the broiler breeding box 1 (as shown) is composed of four side plates 13, the top plate 10 and the bottom plate 11. Figure 1 During the horizontal maintenance process, the telescopic mechanism is controlled to work regularly, so that all the side panels 13 in the middle position are turned down to the lower limit position. At this time, the side panels 13 are tilted downward and form an angle of 55° with the horizontal plane (the state at this time is as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown), then the control side plate 13 is reset to the middle position (the state at this time is as shown Figure 3 as shown). Example 2

[0020] A modular chicken house, using the broiler breeding box 1 in Example 1, the difference between it and Example 1 includes: Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, in the width direction of the chicken house, every two broiler breeding boxes 1 are arranged close together, and in the length direction of the chicken house, a number of broiler breeding boxes 1 are arranged at intervals, and the side panels 13 corresponding to the close-together areas of the two broiler breeding boxes 1 always maintain the initial state (i.e., in the upper limit position state, the side panel is defined as side panel A), and the remaining three side panels 13 on each broiler breeding box 1 (these three side panels are defined as side panels B) can be switched between the upper limit position, the middle position, and the lower limit position. The advantages of this embodiment also include: better optimization of the structural compactness of the broiler breeding box 1, improving the feeding density of the combination of cage breeding and flat breeding, and at the same time widening the flat breeding space, which is conducive to the interaction and communication between broilers.

[0021] A method for controlling the breeding mode of a modular chicken house in the present embodiment, in the brooding period, a cage breeding mode is adopted; in the fattening period, the cage breeding mode is switched to a flat breeding mode for breeding. The steps for switching from the cage breeding mode to the flat breeding mode are: controlling the telescopic mechanism corresponding to the side panel B to work, so that all the side panels B are flipped down to the middle position, and then maintaining this state. At this time, the space between all the top panels 10 and the broiler movable floor is used as the broiler flat breeding space; the steps for switching from the flat breeding mode to the cage breeding mode are: controlling the telescopic mechanism corresponding to the side panel B to work, so that the side panel B is flipped upward to the extreme position. At this time, the four side panels 13, the top panel 10 and the bottom panel 11 together constitute the broiler breeding box 1. During the flat breeding process, the telescopic mechanism corresponding to the side panel B is regularly controlled to work, so that all the side panels 13 (i.e., the side panels B) in the middle position are flipped downward to the lower extreme position. At this time, the side panels B are tilted obliquely downward and form an angle of 60° with the horizontal plane (refer to Figure 4 ), and then control side panel B to return to the middle position.

[0022] The scheme of the embodiment can not only quickly switch the cage-raising mode to the flat-raising mode (taking the example of switching all the chickens in one hundred feeding cages to the flat-raising mode, the switching operation can be completed within one minute and will not cause stress to the chickens), but also greatly simplifies the switching operation process, making the operation easier, saving time and effort, and more importantly, the switching operation can be performed directly in the cage position; more importantly, the scheme can smoothly, friendly and batch guide broilers to increase their exercise, which is not only beneficial to the lateral and longitudinal movement of broilers, but also to the up and down movement of broilers, and is especially beneficial to guiding multiple broilers to perform flying movements at the same time, greatly improving the broilers' flying ability.
