Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of piglet feeding, in particular to an automatic feeding trough for piglet feeding. Background Art
[0002] Generally speaking, domestic pigs are pigs that are raised for human consumption. Because pork is popular and has become an essential food, pigs are raised in large numbers. During pig farming, they are typically fed uniformly using feed troughs.
[0003] Dry feed is generally used for piglets because it's easier to manage and store, ensuring the food's freshness and consistent nutritional profile. Dry feed typically consists of pelleted feed, containing the nutrients piglets need at each stage of growth, such as high-protein soybean meal and fish meal, as well as grains for energy.
[0004] The existing technology has the following deficiencies: the existing feeding troughs generally adopt a communal feeding method, that is, pigs use a feeding trough together to eat. This type of feeding is prone to scrambling, which may cause piglets to have difficulty eating or uneven food intake, which may easily affect the development of piglets; and the feeding method recommended by science advocates regular and quantitative feeding, small amounts and multiple times, to avoid overfeeding, but farmers usually have many other farm tasks in addition to feeding piglets. In the actual feeding process, they may not be able to feed the piglets on time and in the right amount, resulting in problems such as too little or too much feeding or unstable feeding time, which may affect the digestive system and eating habits of the piglets, and thus affect their growth and health.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to invent an automatic feeding trough for piglet feeding. Utility Model Content
