Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding, and more specifically to a lamb supplementary feeding trough for outdoor grazing conditions. Background Technique

[0002] The feeding technology of lactating lambs is closely related to the subsequent growth performance of lambs. Good feeding technology is also beneficial to the postpartum recovery of ewes. Supplementary feeding is started for lambs at 10 - 15 days of lactation to achieve the purpose of early weaning. Lambs can obtain sufficient nutritional supplements from this period and can generally be weaned within 2 months or less, thus entering the growing or fattening period. However, the supplementary concentrate for lambs is different from the ewe feed, and it is not suitable for lambs to eat in the same trough as ewes. Therefore, various forms of lamb supplementary feeding troughs are applied.

[0003] Currently, the supplementary feeding troughs used in sheep farms are still traditional feeding troughs with an open trough body and no cover. It is very easy for ewes to snatch the lamb feed, and it is not suitable for inducing lambs to eat in the feeding pen of lactating ewes. At the same time, since the lamb feed is placed in an uncovered and unpartitioned feeding trough, lambs are likely to take out the feed during eating, resulting in waste, or feces falling into the feeding trough, causing feed pollution and affecting the feeding effect of lambs. In practice, farm workers may use some shielding materials, mostly plastics, tarpaulins, etc., to cover the feeding trough, which is time-consuming and laborious. And after long-term weathering, a large amount of debris and residues will be generated from the shielding materials and fall into the feeding trough, which will cause damage to the sheep after eating and affect the health of the sheep.

[0004] Lamb supplementary feeding troughs generally have a limiting fence. The gap of the fence enables the lamb's head to enter the trough while the ewe cannot enter, thus restricting the phenomenon of ewes snatching food and ensuring the normal supplementary feeding of lambs. However, with the ordinary fence structure, while the lamb's head can pass through, the lamb's body can also smoothly enter, resulting in the phenomenon that lambs lie in the supplementary feeding trough to eat, drink, defecate, urinate and sleep, and the feeding trough is easily polluted by the feces and urine of lambs.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a lamb supplementary feeding trough that can supplement concentrated feed for lambs while restricting ewes from snatching food, has a firm structure and is not easy to overturn, can reduce feed waste, and effectively improve lamb supplementary feeding is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art.
