[0002] As market demand increases, the scale of chicken farming is getting larger and larger, so a large amount of chicken manure is produced every day. The chicken manure left in the chicken house pollutes the environment of the chicken house and makes the chickens prone to disease. The chicken manure needs to be cleaned up in time to ensure the environmental hygiene of the chicken house. After cleaning and collecting, it should be centrally processed to avoid chicken manure pollution.

[0003] After the chicken manure is collected, it is usually cleaned out by belt conveyor.
