Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to but is not limited to the technical field of livestock breeding, and in particular relates to a livestock mineral supplement device. Background Art

[0002] In the process of livestock breeding, mineral supplementation is crucial for the growth, development, reproduction and health of livestock. However, traditional mineral supplementation methods often have many problems, such as uneven supplementation, easy waste, insufficient or excessive intake by livestock, etc. Some mineral supplementation equipment on the market currently has complex structure, inconvenient operation, and is difficult to meet the personalized needs of different livestock.

[0003] Existing technical solutions: Licking bricks is a convenient and easy-to-use way to supplement trace elements and minerals. Injection supplementation: Injection is also a fast and effective way to supplement trace elements and minerals. It can be done by directly injecting trace elements and mineral preparations into cattle, which can quickly increase the content of trace elements and minerals in cattle blood. Feed supplementation: In the process of raising cattle, trace elements and minerals can be added to the feed when feeding cattle. Drinking water supplementation: Trace elements and minerals can be added to the drinking water of cattle. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides a livestock mineral supplement device.

[0005] The utility model is implemented as follows: a livestock mineral supplement device comprises a main body (1), the main body is an annular container with an upper opening, a mineral storage bin (1) is arranged on the upper part of the main body, the mineral storage bin is connected with the outside through a mineral delivery inlet (8); the bottom of the mineral storage bin is connected with a feeding trough (5) through a quantitative delivery mechanism (9), and the quantitative delivery mechanism (9) is used to control the quantitative delivery of minerals from the mineral storage bin to the feeding trough.

[0006] Furthermore, the quantitative delivery mechanism (9) comprises a microcontroller (9-3) and an electronic weighing sensor (9-8), wherein the electronic weighing sensor (9-8) is installed on the upper part (9-9) of the mineral storage bin and is used to detect the weight change of the mineral in real time, and the microcontroller (9-3) controls the delivery amount of the mineral according to the data provided by the electronic weighing sensor.

[0007] Furthermore, the quantitative delivery mechanism (9) further comprises a bin side (9-1), a bin corner (9-2) and a bin surface (9-5), and the surface of the bin surface is provided with anti-skid pattern grooves (9-4) to prevent the minerals from slipping out during the delivery process.

[0008] Furthermore, the device includes an intelligent sensing system, which includes a camera (2) and an infrared sensor (4). The infrared sensor (4) is installed above the feeding trough (5) and is used to detect the approach of livestock. When the approach of livestock is detected, the infrared sensor triggers the camera (2) to monitor and transmits a signal to the microcontroller (9-3). The microcontroller adjusts the amount of minerals to be added according to the livestock's intake.

[0009] Furthermore, the mineral storage bin (1) is fixed to the overall structure via a rubber bin (6), and the outside of the rubber bin is coated with a protective layer (9-6) and an inner lining layer (9-7) to enhance the durability and cleanability of the device.

[0010] Furthermore, the device further comprises a fixing rope (7), which is connected between the rubber bin (6) and the main structure to ensure that the device is firmly installed and prevent the device from moving or being damaged during the livestock feeding process.

[0011] In combination with the above technical solutions and the technical problems solved, the advantages and positive effects of the technical solutions to be protected by the utility model are as follows:

[0012] First, the utility model realizes the quantitative and accurate delivery of minerals, avoiding waste and the problem of insufficient or excessive intake; it can improve the existing mineral supplementation method for livestock, which is conducive to promoting farmers and herdsmen to raise livestock more scientifically and improve breeding efficiency and quality.

[0013] The application of intelligent sensing systems and remote control systems facilitates farmers to monitor and manage livestock's mineral intake in real time, thereby improving breeding efficiency and quality.

[0014] The multi-compartment design can meet the needs of livestock for different minerals, and it also facilitates the classification management and supplementation of minerals.

[0015] The device has a simple structure, is easy to operate, and is easy to clean and maintain, thus reducing the breeding cost.

[0016] Second, as auxiliary evidence of the inventiveness of the claims of the utility model, it is also reflected in the following important aspects:

[0017] With the continuous development of the livestock breeding industry, the demand for efficient and scientific breeding equipment continues to grow. This livestock mineral supplement device is innovative and practical, and is expected to attract a large number of farmers to buy it. Assuming that 100,000 sets are sold each year in the initial stage, with the expansion of the market and the spread of word of mouth, the sales volume will increase by 10% year by year. Each set of equipment is priced at 50 yuan, and it is expected to obtain direct sales income of 5 million yuan per year.

[0018] For farmers, the use of this device can achieve accurate mineral supplementation, reduce livestock diseases and poor growth caused by improper mineral intake, thereby reducing medical costs and feed waste. Taking a medium-sized farm as an example, it is estimated that the cost can be saved by 10,000 yuan per year.

[0019] Because livestock can obtain more balanced mineral nutrition, their growth rate will be faster, their reproductive performance will be improved, and the quality of meat or milk will be improved, thus increasing the economic value of the breeding output. For example, if the weight gain rate of livestock increases by 3%, the milk production increases by 1%, and the meat quality improves, the selling price will increase by 2 yuan / kg, etc., the comprehensive calculation can increase the income of farmers by 160,000 yuan per year.

[0020] Livestock breeding is an important part of the agricultural field, and the scale of livestock breeding is huge worldwide. Mineral supplementation is crucial to the health and production performance of livestock. At present, there is a lack of efficient and intelligent mineral supplementation devices on the market. The utility model has the potential to fill the market gap and is expected to gain a high market share in a short period of time.

[0021] After the successful launch of this device and its market recognition, a good brand image can be established, laying a foundation for the company's further development in the field of breeding equipment. Based on this technology, other related breeding equipment and products can be developed to form a complete product line and enhance the overall competitiveness of the brand.

[0022] This technical solution has attracted the attention of other breeding equipment manufacturers, feed producers and other related companies, providing opportunities for business cooperation models such as cooperative development and technology licensing, and jointly promoting technological progress and market expansion in the industry.

[0023] By improving the scientificity and efficiency of mineral supplementation, it will help to improve the standardization and modernization level of the entire livestock farming industry, promote the industry to develop in a more efficient and sustainable direction, and create greater economic and environmental value for society.

[0024] Third, the technical solution of the utility model fills the technical gap in the industry at home and abroad: the previous methods of mineral supplementation have significant deficiencies in terms of accuracy, convenience, and timeliness of monitoring and adjustment. This not only restricts the healthy growth of livestock and the improvement of breeding efficiency, but also hinders the pace of the entire breeding industry towards modernization and scientificization. However, this technical solution, with its unique design concept and excellent performance, has completely changed this situation. Through an advanced control system, it realizes the precise regulation of the amount of mineral supplementation, ensuring that every livestock can get just the right amount of nutrition. At the same time, the intelligent monitoring function allows breeders to grasp the consumption of minerals in real time, so as to make timely adjustments and optimizations.

[0025] In addition, the device is also carefully designed for ease of use and stability. It is easy to install, simple to operate, and can operate stably in various complex breeding environments, providing great convenience for farmers. The birth of this technical solution is not only a major innovation in traditional breeding methods, but also a new milestone in the field of livestock breeding technology at home and abroad. It not only brings higher production efficiency and economic benefits to the breeding industry, but also injects strong impetus into the sustainable development of the industry.

[0026] The technical solution of the utility model solves a technical problem that people have been eager to solve but have never succeeded in solving: in the field of livestock breeding, how to effectively supplement minerals for livestock has always been a troubling problem. Countless breeding practitioners and scientific researchers are eager to find a perfect solution, but have never succeeded. However, the emergence of this technical solution breaks this deadlock.

[0027] For a long time, people have tried various methods to solve the problem of mineral supplementation for livestock. Traditional supplementation methods have many defects, such as the difficulty in accurately controlling the amount of supplementation, uneven distribution of minerals, and the inability to monitor livestock intake in real time. These problems not only affect the health and growth performance of livestock, but also bring economic losses to the breeding industry.

[0028] However, this technical solution has successfully overcome these obstacles. It uses advanced sensor technology and intelligent control systems to monitor and adjust the amount of mineral supplements in real time and accurately, ensuring that each livestock can obtain an appropriate and balanced supply of minerals. The unique structural design of the device allows the minerals to be evenly distributed, avoiding the situation where some livestock do not take in enough or too much. At the same time, its convenient installation and operation methods greatly reduce the difficulty and cost of use for farmers.

[0029] The success of this technical solution is not only a technological breakthrough, but also brings new hope and opportunities to the entire livestock farming industry, and will promote the development of the farming industry in a more scientific, efficient and sustainable direction.

[0030] The technical solution of the utility model overcomes technical prejudice: In the traditional concept of livestock farming, there are some inherent technical prejudices against mineral supplement devices. For example, it is believed that complex devices are difficult to operate stably in actual breeding environments, or that high-precision supplement control will bring too high costs and be difficult to promote. However, the technical solution, with its unique innovative thinking, bravely challenges and overcomes these technical prejudices. In the past, people generally believed that a simple manual supplement method could meet the needs of livestock minerals, ignoring the importance of precise control and continuous monitoring. However, the technical solution proves that by introducing advanced sensors, intelligent control modules and optimized structural designs, not only can accurate and stable mineral supplementation be achieved, but also cost control is economically feasible, completely breaking the prejudice that "high precision must be high cost". In addition, the industry once believed that large and bulky devices could guarantee sufficient mineral storage and supply, but the technical solution of the utility model, with its compact and efficient design, realizes large-capacity storage and on-demand precise delivery in a limited space, changing the traditional view that "large volume has great effect". This innovation that overcomes technical prejudice has brought new ideas and innovations to the field of livestock farming. It not only improves the effectiveness and efficiency of mineral supplementation, but also opens up a broader space for the industry's technological development, prompting more innovators to dare to challenge traditional concepts and drive the entire industry forward.
