[0001] The present application relates to the field of poultry hatching and brooding equipment, in particular to a poultry hatching and brooding integrated compartment. BACKGROUND

[0002] The traditional existing process flow in the breeding industry is: when the poultry eggs are hatched and are about to hatch, the hatched embryo eggs are taken out of the hatching tray and transferred to the hatching device for hatching, and after hatching, they are sorted and packed into boxes for transportation to the next level of breeding farm for brooding and feeding. From sorting to packing and transportation, the distance needs to be 24 hours, and the distance can be up to 48 hours.

[0003] During this process, the following technical problems exist: during this period, the chicks have no drinking water or food, which can easily cause the chicks to dehydrate and have poor yolk absorption. The newly hatched chicks have weak immunity and are easily affected by various stresses and biological safety pollution, and are prone to stress infection and disease. This greatly reduces the production efficiency of later breeding and growth, increases the mortality, and affects the growth and production weight. Continuing this traditional patent method continuously consumes packaging boxes, manual loading and unloading, transportation, and transportation costs.

[0041] The feeding system adopts a double-row transmission, which includes a conveyor belt, a funnel, and a feeding tray. The two rows are parallel to each other. The feeding tray includes a feeding box, which is located on both sides, with two rows per layer and adjustable height.

[0042] The spray disinfection and immunization system is located in the middle of the top of each layer. It includes a support 11, which is connected to a water tank and a pump body is connected to it. The bottom of the support 11 has several evenly distributed and vertically arranged atomizing nozzles. The atomizing nozzles can be rotated and adjusted 360 degrees to achieve spraying at different angles.

[0043] The segmented grid system uses wind-resistant vertical grids for fixing, with one grid installed every 2 meters, 20 centimeters high and 2cm away from the bottom conveyor belt;

[0044] The manure scraping system is installed inside the end door. It has an automatic circulating manure scraping brush with brushes that scrapes the manure out of the compartment. The outlet of each layer of manure is located on the end cross-section three-dimensional door, with an opening of the same width as the conveyor belt and a height of 4cm, corresponding to the manure scraping outlet position.

[0045] The shared structure includes a heating and temperature control system, a ventilation system, and a control system;

[0047] The ventilation system adopts a centralized and unified ventilation system for the entire compartment, with longitudinal ventilation. The air inlet at the top of the compartment has a diameter of 20 cm, and exhaust fans are installed on both sides of the end of the compartment, one above the other. The number and size of exhaust fans are calculated based on the actual height of the compartment and the amount of livestock, and the size is usually 40-60 cm in diameter.

[0048] The front of the box 1 has a double-door structure, made of fireproof, heat-insulating and corrosion-resistant sandwich insulation board.

[0054] In specific use, the incubation egg embryo placement and lifting system starts by lifting the incubated embryo eggs, and after hatching, the chicks are directly raised on a stationary conveyor belt until they are 7-10 days old. At the same time, when there is manure on the conveyor belt, the manure scraper at the end of the conveyor belt is activated to remove the manure. When the chicks are ready for market, the door at the end of the conveyor belt is activated to open, and the chicks are automatically loaded into frames and transported away.

[0055] Based on the above-mentioned device, direct economic and social value can be achieved.

[0056] 1. Reduce the investment in major equipment, buildings, and land for hatching facilities in traditional incubation processes;

[0057] 2. Comprehensive incubation reduces labor costs for tasks such as tray placement, hatching, sorting, crating, and loading, with an estimated cost of 0.03 yuan per chick based on experience;

[0058] 3. No more chick box supplies are needed. Each chick box costs 5-8 yuan. If you can fit 100 chicks, the cost of chick box supplies will be reduced by 0.05-0.08 yuan per chick.

[0059] 4. Reduces various stresses and infection opportunities during brooding and handling; experience estimates suggest this can increase chick survival rate by more than 2%.

[0060] 5. Compared to traditional large-scale breeding environments, the integrated brooding box technology significantly reduces equipment operating costs, environmental impact, and especially energy consumption. It is estimated that the integrated brooding box equipment operates at 40-50% of the cost of traditional brooding methods, and consumes only 5-10% of the energy. The cost of traditional, standard equipment and energy-intensive brooding is 0.25-0.35 yuan per chick, while the cost of similar equipment using this patented integrated brooding box is estimated at 0.10-0.15 yuan per chick, resulting in a direct cost saving of 0.10-0.25 yuan per chick.

[0061] 6. The integrated brooder invention patent technology eliminates the need for 24-hour human supervision during the brooding period, directly saving 0.01-0.03 yuan per chick in brooding labor costs;

[0062] 7. The loading and unloading costs and transportation costs are roughly equivalent between traditional methods of transporting chicks and the patented technology for transporting chicks under 10 days old.

[0063] 8. Improved survival rate and weight gain efficiency are difficult to estimate at present, but their value is considerable and will not be estimated here;

[0064] 9. Brooding in the integrated crate until 7-10 days old allows for direct transfer from the crate to the rearing frame, eliminating the need for dispersed brooding at the farm. This saves labor and reduces stress associated with moving and expanding pens.

[0065] (II) Social Value

[0066] 1. The integrated hatchery technology provides an energy-saving, environmentally friendly, and sustainable development model for the long-term healthy, stable, and efficient development of the poultry industry, enabling hatching, rearing, and subsequent breeding.
