Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an automatic feed feeding device, in particular to a device for counting the palatability preference index of suckling pig feed. Background Art

[0002] The "preference index" is used to measure the preference of animals for different flavors. The preference index = average daily feed intake of the treatment group / average daily feed intake of the control group. The test results show that the preference index of cheese flavor in suckling pigs and piglets is 1.50 to 1.60; frankincense / vanilla flavor is 1.40 to 1.50; red fruit flavor is 1.20 to 1.38; green fruit flavor is 1.11 to 1.20; and fennel flavor is 1.20. It can be seen that cheese flavor is not only the familiar breast milk flavor of suckling pigs, but it is also the favorite flavor of suckling pigs. Suckling pigs have an unforgettable memory of the taste from breast milk. As they age, their flavor preferences gradually change. Adult pigs may prefer citrus flavor, fresh meat flavor, molasses flavor, and fermented flavor (sour aroma). Suckling pigs also prefer the taste of fish paste and organic acids, but reject meat and bone meal, alfalfa meal, chemicals and heavy metals. The change of taste during the development from piglets to adult pigs is an important stage in the study of pig feed palatability, which is related to the change of the preference index of the piglet development stage over time. From the piglet stage, the preference is for the aroma of milk, cheese, chocolate, sugar, mint, apple, citrus, lemon, and grass, and the taste preference is sweet, sour or fresh. From development to growth and fattening pigs, the preference is for orange, straw, and maple syrup, and the taste preference is sweet and sour. Lactating sows prefer chocolate, straw, and maple syrup for the aroma, and the taste preference is sweet and sour. Studying the evolution of this series of processes can more scientifically and accurately count the changes in palatability from suckling pigs to lactating sows. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to achieve the above technical objectives, it is an inevitable prerequisite to adopt single-cage breeding and coexistence of multiple groups of feeds with different flavors for selection. The purpose of the utility model is to provide a suckling pig feed palatability preference index statistical device for statistically analyzing the changes in the preference of suckling pigs during their development stages.

[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions: a device for counting the palatability preference index of suckling pig feed, comprising a feed feeder, a top plate, a bottom support plate and a pressure sensing counter, wherein a feed feeder is fixed at the center position of the top of the bottom support plate, a pressure sensing counter is fixed at the top of the bottom support plate near the outside, a top plate is fixed on the top of the pressure sensing counter, a suckling pig feeding opening is provided in the feed feeder, the number of the suckling pig feeding openings on the feed feeder is greater than or equal to four, the suckling pig feeding openings are evenly distributed on the feed feeder, and identity dividing fences are provided between adjacent feed feeders.

[0005] Preferably, the pressure sensing counter corresponds to the position of each piglet's feeding port.

[0006] Preferably, a feed area is provided between the feed feeders, and a partition plate is provided between the feed feeders and the identity dividing fence.

[0007] Preferably, the pressure perception counter is a pressure perception times and duration counter.

[0008] Preferably, the pressure sensing counter is a stepping pressure technology device, and the information recorded by the pressure sensing counter includes the real-time time and real-time duration of the pressure stepping.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the feed feeder is connected to the bottom of a wooden stake type automatic feeding device, and the automatic feeding device feeds feeds of different flavors.

[0010] Preferably, the pressure sensing counter is interconnected with a background computer terminal through a wire or a wireless signal, and is made into a chart, which displays the short-time stepping statistical time and number and the long-time stepping statistical time and number according to actual conditions.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects: the statistical device for calculating the palatability preference index of suckling pig feed has a reasonable structure and has the following advantages:

[0012] The utility model provides a device for statistically analyzing the palatability preference index of suckling pig feed. The identity segmentation fence can effectively adjust the body position of the piglet during the nearsightedness process. The pressure sensing counter accurately counts the long-time trampling process and the short-time trampling process, avoiding erroneous statistical data due to accidental trampling. The pressure sensing counter can record the time point and time length of the trampling, and analyze the preference change data of the piglet through statistical data. The design of multiple feeding ports of the wooden stake-type automatic feeding device and the regular replacement of the taste preference of the feeding port that has not been visited can more accurately assist the data statistics of the pressure sensing counter. The utility model can record the change process of the piglet's preference taste during the growth process, and record the change of the preference taste during the growth process to provide the preferred feed that is more in line with the current stage.

[0025] Example 1

[0026] The device is connected to the wooden stake feeding machine to record the process of piglets selecting palatable feed during their growth. The pressure sensing counter 8 records the short-term and long-term trampling process of piglets, and the data is plotted into a chart to analyze the changes in piglets' preferences during their growth.

[0027] like Figure 2-Figure 4 ,

[0028] Stage 1: If Figure 2 The solid circles representing the long-term trampling process are concentrated at the same feeding port. This action trajectory indicates a preference for mouth-to-mouth.
