Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of poultry farming, and in particular to a poultry brooding basket-type farming device. Background Art

[0002] Cage rearing of young poultry is widely used because it allows for more economical use of brooding room space and indoor heat sources, resulting in higher stocking densities than floor-raising. Currently, most common brooding cages are stacked, fixed cages. Day-old broiler chicks are placed in these cages for brooding. As they grow to a certain age (generally around 14 days), they are vaccinated. If they show no abnormalities after vaccination, they are separated into groups for rearing in grower cages. This cage rearing process requires manual handling. Chicks can become uneasy due to human handling and movement, leading to stress reactions. This stress not only affects the chicks' health but can also slow their growth and even cause illness. Improper handling or struggles can lead to injuries such as fractures and skin damage, which can affect their health and reduce their survival rate. For large numbers of chicks, manual handling is a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. This not only increases production costs but also impacts the overall efficiency and speed of the entire breeding process, highlighting the need for further improvement and enhancement of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0003] The utility model provides a poultry brooding basket breeding device, which is used to solve the problem that during the existing process of brooding and grouping poultry into growing cages, artificial chicken catching causes stress reactions in chicks, thereby affecting the health of the chicks.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] Hereinafter, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the described embodiments may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are to be regarded as illustrative in nature and not restrictive.

[0026] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inside," "outside," "axial," "radial," "circumferential," and the like, indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings and are intended only to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description. They do not indicate or imply that the devices or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed, or operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, a first feature being "up" or "down" a second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or that the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium.

[0027] In this utility model, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, terms such as "installed," "connected," "connect," and "fixed" should be understood broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integration; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; they can refer to internal communication between two components or an interaction between two components. However, the phrase "direct connection" indicates that the two connected entities are not connected through an intermediate structure, but are connected to form a whole through a connecting structure. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0028] The present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] The specific plans adopted are:

[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the utility model provides a poultry brooding basket breeding device, including a brooding cage 1 and a frame 2, the brooding cage 1 is used to accommodate chicks, the frame 2 is used to support the brooding cage 1, the brooding cage 1 is detachably arranged on the frame 2, the brooding cage 1 includes a cage frame 10 and a cage net 11, the cage net 11 is arranged on the outer periphery of the cage frame 10 to form a closed living space, and a movable driving member 3 is provided in the living space, and the movable driving member 3 can drive the chicks to move toward the cage mouth 12, leaving the brooding cage 1 and entering the breeding cage, thereby realizing cage breeding, so as to reduce the probability of the chicks causing stress response due to artificial catching of chickens.

[0031] The poultry brooding basket breeding device of the present invention fully considers the living habits of chicks and the actual needs of breeders. The brooding cage 1 is designed to be detachable and can be easily installed on the frame 2, which is convenient for cleaning and maintenance. The cage is more flexible in use and the number of cages can be adjusted at any time according to the changes in the breeding scale. In the living space for the chicks, a movable driving member is provided to drive the chicks toward the cage opening 12, so that they leave the brooding cage 1 and enter the rearing cage. This realizes the cage breeding of chicks without human intervention, reduces the incidence of stress reactions in chicks, and helps to improve the breeding efficiency and the health of the chicks.

[0032] Specifically, the number of chicks designed for brooding in the brooding cage 1 can be 2 to 3 times the number of the rearing cages. The chicks are on both sides of the mobile driving member 3. When immunizing and grouping, the brooding cage 1 is removed from the receiving beam 20 of the frame 2 and transported to the brooding house. All the chicks on one side can be driven into the rearing cage without recounting. After half of the chicks are driven out, the brooding cage 1 can be directly transferred to the rearing frame of the rearing house as a whole and used as a rearing cage, which reduces the workload of grouping and improves work efficiency. The chicks on the side are driven to two rearing cages respectively, and the brooding cage 1 returns to the brooding house to continue rearing. A breeding farm builds a brooding house and uses basket-type brooding cage 1 for full-cage brooding. When the chicks are immunized and grouped at 14 days old, the whole basket is transferred to the rearing house for rearing. A brooding house can be equipped with multiple rearing houses. The grouping of brooding cage 1 makes the chicks less stressed. The segmented feeding mode is adopted, and the utilization rate of the poultry house is greatly improved, from the original 6.5 batches per year to 10 batches, and the breeding efficiency is greatly improved, which is expected to reach more than 50%.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the mobile driving member 3 includes a partition cage net 30, the edge of the partition cage net 30 is integrated into the mobile plate 31, the mobile plate 31 is provided with a moving part 310, the cage frame 10 is provided with a moving track 1001, and the moving part 310 can move within the moving track 1001.

[0034] The design of the separation cage net 30 makes air circulation smoother. The edge of the separation cage net 30 is integrated into the movable plate 31, so that the mobile driving member 3 can maintain the integrity of the cage net 11 when moving, preventing the chicks from escaping from the gap. The movable plate 31 is provided with a moving part 310, which can be a moving wheel. The moving wheel can move freely in the moving track 1001 on the cage frame 10, or a universal ball is set in the moving track 1001 to ensure that the separation cage net 30 can move stably. The driving process is smoother and more efficient. Through this design of the mobile driving member 3, the farmer can easily achieve the separation of chicks. When the cages need to be separated, it is only necessary to operate the movable plate 31 to move in the moving track 1001 to drive the chicks from the brooding cage 1 to the breeding cage. This process does not require manual catching of the chickens, which greatly reduces the probability of the chicks having a stress reaction.

[0035] The cage 10 is composed of a crossbeam 100 and a vertical beam 101, which are welded together. The crossbeam 100 is L-shaped, and the movable track 1001 is set on the crossbeam 100. The crossbeam 100 adopts an L-shaped design. This shape not only increases the strength of the crossbeam 100, but also provides convenience for the installation of other components. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The movable track 1001 is arranged at a wing position of the L-shaped beam 100. The movable track 1001 is installed using the wing of the beam 100, which effectively utilizes the space and avoids adding an additional support structure inside the cage frame 10, thereby maximizing the space inside the cage and providing a more spacious living space for the chicks.

[0036] Considering the convenience of operating the separation cage net 30 from the outside of the cage body, see Figure 1 The crossbeam 100 is provided with a movable slot 1002, and the movable plate 31 is provided with a pusher 311. The pusher 311 extends through the movable slot 1002 and is located outside the brooding cage 1. This allows the farmer to operate the movable plate 31 directly from outside the cage through the pusher 311, thereby controlling the movement of the partitioning cage net 30, without having to open the cage door or enter the cage. This not only greatly improves the convenience of operation, but also reduces direct contact between the farmer and the chicks, reducing the risk of stress reactions.

[0037] See also Figure 1 The pusher 311 is cylindrical, with a handle 4 connecting two adjacent pushers 311. The handle 4 allows farmers to conveniently lift the brooder cage 1 as a whole. By grasping the handle 4, farmers can lift the entire cage in a stable and energy-saving manner, avoiding the need to grasp multiple parts separately or using improper lifting techniques that could cause the cage to tilt or shake. This ensures greater stability during transfer, helping to reduce the risk of injury to chicks caused by shaking or tilting.

[0038] Furthermore, the movable groove 1002 is provided with a detachable fixing member 5 to limit the movement of the pushing portion 311. This takes into account various situations that may be encountered during the use of the brooding cage 1. In particular, when it is necessary to fix the position of the partition cage net 30, the fixing member 5, such as a fixing block, can be inserted into the movable groove 1002 and form a certain constraint relationship with the pushing portion 311, thereby limiting the movement of the movable plate 31. When the farmer wishes to fix the partition cage net 30 in a certain position, he only needs to install the fixing member 5 in the corresponding movable groove 1002. When the farmer needs to move the partition cage net 30, he only needs to remove the fixing member 5 from the movable groove 1002. This method is simple, fast and effective.

[0039] In a preferred embodiment, each layer of the frame 2 is equipped with a weighing module, i.e., a weighing sensor (not shown in the figure). The weighing data obtained by the weighing module is transmitted to the terminal to achieve intelligent monitoring. The weighing module installed on each layer can obtain the total weight data of all chicks in the brooding cage 1 in real time and transmit it to the terminal in real time. The farmer can use a terminal device such as a mobile phone or computer to keep abreast of the growth status of the chicks and make corresponding feeding and management adjustments.

[0040] Anything not described in this utility model can be achieved by adopting or drawing on existing technologies.

[0041] The above are merely specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention, and such variations or substitutions are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the scope of protection of the claims.
