DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 4 The implementation methods of the present invention are described with relevant embodiments, but the implementation methods of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments, and the present invention involves relevant necessary components in this technical field, which should be regarded as the known technology in this technical field and can be known and mastered by the technicians in this technical field.

[0024] The utility model provides a cow-calf joint assembly cattle pen, comprising: Figure 1 As shown, a coupled cattle pen 1 and an assembly component 2 for disassembling and assembling the coupled cattle pen 1, the coupled cattle pen 1 comprises a cow pen 3 for raising cows and a calf pen 4 for raising calves, and a small door 121 for calves to enter and exit is provided between the cow pen 3 and the calf pen 4.

[0025] After birth, calves will establish a deep emotional connection with their mothers. If they are separated too early, the calves may feel lonely, anxious or fearful, which will affect their emotional stability and normal development. At the same time, cows' milk is essential for the growth and immunity of calves. Milk is rich in immunoglobulins, growth factors and other bioactive substances, which help calves resist diseases and promote growth and development.

[0026] However, calves have weak physical strength and resistance. During the traditional feeding process, if the feed lacks selenium and cobalt, these elements are the core of synthesizing immunoglobulins in cattle, which can not only improve immunity, but also are indispensable elements for the myocardium. Once they are missing, calves will become sick. After separate feeding, more scientific feeding methods can be used to ensure that calves get adequate nutrition and improve immunity. If the mother cow and the calf are in the same pen, the calf's feed may be eaten up by the mother cow, so that the calf cannot get enough nutrition.

[0027] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model of the conjoined cattle pen 1 comprises a cow pen 3 for raising cows and a calf pen 4 for raising calves. The cows and calves are each in a pen and fed with different feeds separately. The cows cannot eat the feeds of the calves, which promotes the growth of the calves and improves the survival rate of the calves. At the same time, a small door 121 for the calves to enter and exit is provided between the cow pen 3 and the calf pen 4. The calves can freely enter and exit between the cow pen 3 and the calf pen 4. The calves can see the cows and suck the cows' breast milk, which helps the calves resist diseases, stabilize their emotions and develop normally.

[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the assembly component 2 includes an insertion rod 21, a cow pen insertion ring 22 and a calf pen insertion ring 23. The cow pen insertion ring 22 and the calf pen insertion ring 23 are respectively arranged at the ends of the cow pen 3 and the calf pen 4 that are away from each other. The two adjacent connected cow pens 1 are combined together by inserting the insertion rod 21 into the cow pen insertion ring 22 and the calf pen insertion ring 23 on the same central axis.

[0029] The utility model allows the conjoined cattle pen 1 to be disassembled and assembled arbitrarily through the assembly component 2, and can be disassembled and assembled according to the breeding scale of the customer to meet the needs of different lengths, and it is also convenient for the customer to replace the worn conjoined cattle pen 1 separately according to the wear and tear situation. At the same time, the assembly component 2 has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0030] Furthermore, regional factors such as geographical conditions, environmental conditions and cost factors such as feeding costs and labor costs will have an impact on the breeding industry. Taking into account regional and cost factors, large farms and small ranches each have their own advantages and disadvantages. Large farms have economies of scale and can obtain more favorable feed prices and better sales markets, but they also need to bear higher costs and greater management pressure. Small ranches are more flexible and can adjust according to market demand and their own conditions, but they may also face financial and technical limitations.

[0031] Prefabricated cattle pens can be flexibly assembled and disassembled according to the actual needs and scale of the farm. This flexibility allows the cattle pens to easily adapt to different breeding environments and scales, and both large farms and small ranches can find suitable solutions. At the same time, since the prefabricated cattle pens adopt a modular design, modules can be easily added or removed to adapt to the increase or decrease in the number of cattle. This scalability allows farms to easily adjust the size and layout of the cattle pens as the business develops. Customers can also replace damaged cattle pens individually according to the wear and tear.

[0032] The cow pen 3 and the calf pen 4 are respectively provided with a movable door 5 at one end in the longitudinal direction. The movable door 5 can be easily opened and closed, which enables the breeder to conveniently carry out daily management work, such as feeding, cleaning, inspection and disease treatment. At the same time, a feeding trough 6 is provided on the movable door 5, so the breeder does not need to enter the cow pen or open the entire door to feed, which reduces the interference of opening the door to the cows, keeps the cows in a relatively quiet and relaxed state, which is conducive to their growth and health. The feeding trough 6 is provided on the movable door 5, so that the space of the movable door 5 can be fully utilized, saving the space inside the cow pen, and making the activity space of the cows more spacious.

[0033] As one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the conjoined cattle pen 1 comprises a first side fence 11, a spacing fence 12, a second side fence 13, a first rear fence 14 and a second rear fence 15. The first side fence 11, the spacing fence 12 and the first rear fence 14 constitute a cow pen 3, and the second side fence 13, the spacing fence 12 and the second rear fence 15 constitute a calf pen 4. A small door 121 is provided on the spacing fence 12. The spacing fence 12 separates the conjoined cattle pen 1 into a cow pen 3 and a calf pen 4. The cow cannot enter the calf pen 4 to eat the calf's feed, but the calf can enter the cow-calf pen through the small door 121 and contact with the cow to suck milk.

[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the calf pen 4 occupies a smaller area than the cow pen 3, and the length of the second side fence 13 is less than the length of the first side fence 11. The cow pen 3 occupies a larger area and has a more spacious space, so that the cow has enough space to move around, while the calf pen 4 is designed to occupy a smaller area due to the size of the calf, saving the space occupied by the conjoined cow pen 1 and reducing the site cost.

[0035] As one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, a handle is provided at the top of the plug rod 21. When disassembling, the customer only needs to hold the handle and pull out the plug rod 21 to loosen the cow pen plug ring 22 and the calf pen plug ring 23, which is easy to operate. The diameter of the plug rod 21 is smaller than the inner ring diameter of the cow pen plug ring 22 and the inner ring diameter of the calf pen plug ring 23, so that when the customer pulls out or inserts the plug rod 21, the plug rod 21 is not easy to contact the inner ring of the cow pen plug ring 22 and the calf pen plug ring 23, thereby not increasing the friction between the plug rod 21 and the plug ring, making the pulling out or inserting process of the plug rod 21 more labor-saving and convenient.

[0036] As one of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, there are two groups of cow pen insert rings 22 and calf pen insert rings 23, respectively. The two groups of cow pen insert rings 22 are respectively arranged on the outer sides of the two longitudinal ends of the first side fence 11, and the two groups of calf pen insert rings 23 are respectively arranged on one end of the second side fence 13 close to the movable door 5 and on the outer side of one end of the second rear fence 15 close to the second side fence 13.

[0037] The cow pen insert ring 22 is arranged on the outside of the cow pen 3, and the calf pen insert ring 23 is arranged on the second side pen 13 or on the outside of the second rear pen 15, so that the cow pen 3 and the calf pen 4 of another conjoined cow pen 1 can be assembled together, reducing the gap between the two conjoined cow pen 1, and further saving site costs. Each set of matching cow pen insert rings 22 and calf pen insert rings 23 are distributed at intervals, which can strengthen the connection between the insert rod 21 and the insert ring, and strengthen the assembly of the two conjoined cow pen 1.

[0038] As one of the preferred embodiments of the utility model, the movable door 5 includes a cow stall movable door 51 and a calf stall movable door 52. The cow stall movable door 51 is arranged at one end of the cow stall 3 away from the first rear stall 14, and the calf stall movable door 52 is arranged at one end of the calf stall 4 away from the second rear stall 15. The end of the partition fence 12 close to the movable door 5 is connected to the cow stall movable door 51 and the calf stall movable door 52 by a hinge, and the height of the calf stall movable door 52 is less than the height of the cow stall movable door 51.

[0039] Furthermore, the movable door 5 and the cow pen have locking buckles, which can ensure that the cows are isolated or confined in a specific area when needed to ensure their safety. At the same time, the heights of the movable door 51 of the cow pen are different according to the different body shapes of the cows and calves, so as to prevent the height of the movable door 51 of the cow pen from being set too low, and the cows from walking out of the cow pen 3 from above the movable door 51 of the cow pen. A gap needs to be set on the movable door 5 to allow the cows to ventilate and eat the feed on the door, so it is also prevented that the height of the movable door 52 of the calf pen is set too high, resulting in the gap of the movable door 5 being set too large, causing the calf to walk out of the calf pen 4 through the gap.

[0040] As one of the preferred embodiments of the utility model, a fixing frame 53 is provided on the movable door 5, and a feeding trough 6 is placed on the fixing frame 53. The height of the feeding trough 6 of the movable door 52 of the calf pen is less than the height of the feeding trough 6 of the movable door 51 of the cow pen. This embodiment is designed with different heights according to the different body shapes of cows and calves, which is convenient for cows and calves to feed at a suitable height, which is conducive to the mood and health of cows.

[0041] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that ordinary technicians in this technical field can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
