Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of animal husbandry, and in particular to a fixing device for livestock licking bricks in a shed in a shed feeding mode. Background Art
[0002] Grass is the main feed for livestock, containing a large amount of cellulose and minerals, which can promote gastrointestinal motility of livestock and prevent the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases. Concentrates and concentrated feeds contain more protein and calories, which can improve the production performance of livestock, such as increasing milk production and improving meat quality. The types of livestock feed mainly include grass, concentrates, concentrated feeds and additives. Among them, grass is the main feed for sheep, including pasture, silage, hay, etc.; concentrates refer to bran, soybean meal, cornmeal, wheat bran, etc., which also contain rich minerals and vitamins, such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, zinc, vitamin A, vitamin D, etc., which can meet the various nutrients required by sheep; concentrated feed refers to high-protein feed such as soybean cake, cotton cake, and oil bran; additives refer to vitamins, trace elements, etc. Licking bricks are a kind of feed designed for cattle and sheep. It processes nutrients into blocks through scientific formula and processing technology for cattle and sheep to lick. Licking bricks are rich in various trace elements and minerals, such as salt and baking soda, which are essential for the health and nutritional intake of cattle and sheep. Licking bricks have many advantages. (1) Since licking bricks are precisely formulated, they can provide the trace elements and minerals required by animals, ensuring that they consume the appropriate proportion of each trace element and mineral. (2) Convenient supplementation method: Licking bricks can be placed in the animal's feeding area for a long time, and animals can lick freely as needed without additional human intervention, which can reduce the workload of breeders. (3) Stable supply: The composition of licking bricks is usually stable and not easily affected by external factors. It can provide animals with necessary trace elements and minerals for a long time. (4) Prevention of deficiency: Proper use of licking bricks can effectively prevent the occurrence of trace element and mineral deficiency. For example, the deficiency of trace elements such as zinc, selenium, and copper may lead to poor growth and development of animals, decreased immunity, and other problems. (5) Since there is limited natural salt in concentrated pastures, licking bricks as a substitute can help cattle and sheep replenish salt, increase appetite and water intake, and enhance resistance and fertility. Therefore, licking bricks can provide a simple and effective way to supplement the trace elements and minerals required by animals, helping to maintain the health and growth of animals. Licking bricks come in a variety of shapes, including cylindrical, rectangular or square, and are sometimes affectionately called "cow and sheep chocolate" by farmers. When using licking bricks, they should be hung where cattle and sheep gather or placed in the feed trough, and clean water should be available nearby for cattle and sheep to drink. The amount of licking bricks used should be adjusted according to the specific needs and health of cattle and sheep. For example, the amount of salt for lambs should be halved, and the amount of salt for lactating ewes should be paid special attention to to avoid adverse effects on lambs.
[0003] Traditional animal husbandry still has some shortcomings in some aspects, especially in the fixation of livestock lick bricks. At present, common livestock lick bricks are hung on fences, railings, etc. by passing iron wire or thin rope through the lick brick holes. Although the lick bricks can be fixed, there are some problems in the use process. For example, the setting of the fence is not flexible, and the fixing method is relatively simple, which is not conducive to the layout and management of the lick bricks. The livestock will pull the lick bricks when licking, and long-term licking and pulling will cause the fence of the pen to be less firm; livestock often lick one side, causing the center of gravity of the lick brick to be unstable and cause the lick brick to fall, posing a safety hazard of injuring livestock. The fallen lick brick fragments will pollute the pen, and also cause pollution and waste of the lick bricks. When the sheep are feeding, it will affect the health of the sheep and cause the occurrence of epidemics.
[0004] Currently known intelligent mounting racks for livestock lick bricks can provide lick bricks with different functions for livestock to lick at different times; at the same time, they can be used for lick bricks of different shapes and volumes, with strong versatility, convenient for centralized management of lick bricks, and intelligent breeding. The disadvantages are that the cost is too high and the equipment is complicated to fix. There is also a mineral nutrition lick brick bracket specially designed for grazing livestock, which has a simple structure, is easy to make and carry, and solves the problems of insufficient mineral element intake by grazing livestock, and the physical and chemical function disorders of livestock caused by mineral element deficiency or imbalance. At present, the device is only used for supplementary feeding of mineral nutrition lick bricks for grazing livestock on grazing grasslands, and is not suitable for pens with stall feeding mode.

[0025] The connecting end between the lick brick pillar 7 and the opening and closing baffle 4 is a plug-in end 11, and its diameter is smaller than the diameter of the middle part of the lick brick pillar 7. The plug-in end 11 is provided with an external thread. The plug-in end 11 can be inserted into the plug-in hole 12 and pass through the plug-in hole 12. The outer side is fixedly connected by a fixing nut 5. The step 13 formed between the middle part of the lick brick pillar 7 and the plug-in end 11 due to the different diameters just clamps the opening and closing baffle 4, so that when the opening and closing baffle 4 is clamped by the fixing nut 5, it is in a perpendicular state to the main frame body 1.
[0026] A fixed threaded sleeve 8 is provided on the inner side of the fixed baffle 9, and an internal thread is provided in the fixed threaded sleeve 8. The connecting end between the licking brick pillar 7 and the fixed baffle 9 is provided with an external thread, and the licking brick pillar 7 and the fixed threaded sleeve 8 are threadedly fixedly connected.
[0027] The opening and closing baffle 4 is hinged to the main frame body 1 through a hinge device 3 .
[0028] The surface of the lick brick pillar 7 is covered with a pillar sleeve 14, which is used to reduce the friction between the lick brick and the lick brick pillar 7. The lick brick pillar 7 is made of metal, and the pillar sleeve 14 is a smooth hard rubber sleeve.
[0029] The main frame body 1 and the fixed hanging plate 2 are fixed by welding or made into an integrated device by a mold.

[0030] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the embodiments and drawings:
[0031] See attached Figure 1-Figure 4 . When in use, the livestock licking brick fixing device is reasonably placed on the fence according to the livestock feeding height through the fixed hook. When placing, it is first hung on the fence through the fixed hanging plate 2. To prevent the device from moving and falling, a nut (different reinforcement tools can be selected according to different fence materials. This example method selects an iron fence under stall feeding conditions) is used to pass through the horizontally aligned fixing holes from the inside to the outside, and the threads are exposed in the outer fixing holes. The nuts are used to fix them. For fence baffles of different widths, they can be selected according to the specific situation (wider fence baffles can be fixed using the lower row of fixing holes; shorter fence baffles can be reinforced using all fixing holes) to ensure the stability of the overall device. This device can also be hung on the wall and installed on the wall through the 4 inner and outer mounting holes using nails, expansion screws and other tools.
[0032] After fixing the main frame body 1, open the opening and closing baffle 4, first thread one end of the licking brick pillar 7 with the fixed baffle 9, then pass the licking brick through the licking brick pillar 7 (the middle of the licking brick is provided with a middle through hole), then fold the opening and closing baffle 4 inward, so that the plug end 11 passes through the plug hole 12, the opening and closing baffle is blocked by the step 13, and finally the fixing nut 5 is threadedly connected with the plug end 11, so that the licking brick is fixed in the middle of the licking brick pillar 7.

According to the feeding habits of cattle and sheep, the licking brick will rotate counterclockwise from outside to inside when feeding. The smooth hard rubber sleeve covered on the licking brick pillar 7 can reduce the friction between the licking brick and the pillar, so that the licking brick is evenly fed. The distance between the baffles on both sides of the device can only accommodate a small range of movement of the licking brick in the left and right directions, which can avoid contact with the protective cover on the pillar when livestock feed, and prevent livestock from feeding on the protective cover.
[0033] The hinge device 3 and the opening and closing baffle 4 play an efficient and convenient role in the installation of the lick brick, which is convenient for the later replacement of the lick brick. When replacing the lick brick and cleaning and disinfecting the device, it is necessary to remove the fixing nut 5 on one side of the opening and closing baffle, and then open the baffle 4 to take out or replace the lick brick. When cleaning and disinfecting, the lick brick support 7 needs to be removed, and the area between the baffles on both sides can be cleaned or washed and disinfected.
[0034] The length of the lick brick support 7 is about 2 cm longer than the thickness of the general cubic lick brick, and the radius of the lick brick support is about 0.2 cm smaller than the radius of the middle hole of the general cubic lick brick, which will fix the lick brick in the middle of the lick brick support, with a smaller left and right range of motion, which is convenient for the normal rotation of the lick brick and reduces deviation.
[0035] There are four inner mounting holes 6 and four outer mounting holes 10, which are evenly distributed on the main frame body 1 and the fixed hanging plate 2, and the inner and outer mounting holes are horizontally aligned.
[0036] The above technical features constitute the best implementation example of the present utility model, which has strong adaptability and best implementation effect. Non-essential technical features can be added or removed according to actual needs to meet the requirements of different situations.
[0037] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention includes but is not limited to the contents described in the drawings and the above specific embodiments. Any modification that does not deviate from the functional and structural principles of the present invention will be included in the protection scope of the claims.
