Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of chicken breeding devices, in particular to a device for supplementing feed and water for chickens in a welfare free-range breeding mode. Background Art

[0002] Animal welfare refers to the current state of individual animals, mainly including mental and physical states. There are currently five internationally recognized animal welfare standards, proposed by the UK Agricultural Animal Welfare Committee, which can be roughly summarized as the "five freedoms", including: freedom from hunger and thirst, freedom from a comfortable life, freedom from pain, injury and disease, freedom from fear and stress, and freedom to express nature.

[0003] With the development of animal welfare, more and more chicken farming companies have begun to adopt non-cage farming models that are more in line with animal welfare, such as free-range or grazing. Compared with caged farming, these models provide chickens with more activity space and environmental enrichment. Outdoor areas provide chickens with more opportunities to engage in natural behaviors, strongly promoting foraging behavior, exploration behavior, dust bathing and sunbathing, thereby increasing the possibility of meeting the behavioral needs of chickens and expressing their nature.

[0004] At present, there are many devices for supplementary feeding and watering of chickens outdoors. Some of them are relatively simple in design, and the food bowl and water bowl are directly placed in the open air, which may easily cause food and drinking water pollution; some feeding devices are relatively complex in design, with high production costs, and long-term outdoor work may easily cause damage to the devices; the supplementary feeding and watering devices on the market have single functions and can only feed or water, and do not take animal welfare into consideration. Therefore, this application provides a device for supplementary feeding and watering of chickens in a welfare free-range mode to meet the needs. Utility Model Content
