Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of sheep breeding pens, in particular to a sheep pen for sharing food between adult sheep and lambs. Background Art
[0002] Breast milk is indispensable for lambs during their growth from birth to weaning. Therefore, lambs are often kept in the same sheep pen with their ewes. Both ewes and lambs need a sufficiently warm living environment. Ewes need to recover after giving birth to avoid the strain of long-term breastfeeding. In order to provide lambs with more comprehensive and rich nutrition, it is necessary to feed lambs other foods. Since lambs are in the same sheep pen with adult sheep, the special food fed to lambs is easily snatched away by adult sheep, and the lambs cannot eat the special food, which affects the growth of the lambs. Adult sheep may also trample on lambs during eating. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a sheep pen for sharing food between adult sheep and lambs that is suitable for the survival of ewes and lambs after giving birth, avoid snatching food between adult sheep and lambs, and avoid trampling of lambs. Utility Model Content
[0003] In response to the above technical problems, the utility model provides a sheep pen for large sheep and lambs to share food, which is suitable for the survival of ewes and lambs after giving birth, and prevents large sheep and lambs from competing for food and lambs from being trampled. It solves the problem that in the existing sheep pen, the special food fed to the lambs is easily snatched away by the large sheep, and the lambs cannot eat the special food, which affects the growth of the lambs. The large sheep may also trample on the lambs during eating.
[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model describes a sheep pen for sharing food for big sheep and lambs, comprising a sheep pen, wherein a big sheep pen is provided at the front end of the sheep pen, a delivery room is provided at the left side of the rear end, and a small sheep pen is provided at the right side of the rear end. The right end of the delivery room is separated from the small sheep pen by a first outer wall, and the front end is separated from the big sheep pen by a second outer wall. The front end of the small sheep pen is separated from the big sheep pen by a fence. A Z-shaped aisle is provided at the front end of the delivery room by a first inner wall and a second inner wall. A delivery room door and a small sheep pen door are symmetrically provided at the front end of the Z-shaped aisle. The delivery room door is hinged to the side wall of the sheep pen, and the small sheep pen door is hinged to the first outer wall. A wall is provided in the middle of the delivery room, a fence is provided at the rear end of the delivery room, and a first ventilation window and a second ventilation window are symmetrically provided above the middle of the delivery room.
[0005] Furthermore, a large sheep trough away from the small sheep pen is provided in the large sheep pen, and a small sheep trough away from the large sheep pen is provided in the small sheep pen.
[0006] Furthermore, one end of the wall is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the left end of the sheep pen, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first outer wall. One end of the fence is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rear end of the sheep pen, and the other end is fixedly connected to the wall. Two exit doors are opened on the wall.
[0007] Furthermore, a storage box is provided in the delivery room, and the storage box is placed on the right side of the fence.
[0008] Furthermore, a supplementary feeding trough is provided on the left side of the fence, and a trough for ewes is provided on the right side.
[0009] Furthermore, the first ventilation window is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the left end of the sheep pen, and the second ventilation window is fixedly connected to the first outer wall.
[0010] Furthermore, the spacing between the fence and the stockade railings is 15 to 18 centimeters.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0012] The utility model provides a Z-shaped passage through the first inner wall and the second inner wall in the delivery room, thereby increasing the time required for outside air flow to enter the delivery room when the door is opened and closed again, thereby preventing the ewes and lambs in the delivery room from catching cold, dividing the delivery room into two parts by the fence, and cultivating the habit of the lambs to eat alone instead of always following the ewes by feeding the lambs in advance, and also accurately feeding the lambs and the ewes, so that the health status of the lambs and the physical condition of the ewes tend to be stabilized as soon as possible, separating the large sheep pen and the small sheep pen by the fence, and the gaps in the fence only allow the lambs to pass through, and the lambs are fed earlier than the large sheep, and the risk of large sheep and lambs competing for food and the risk of lambs being trampled by the large sheep during feeding is avoided by separating the feeding places and planning the feeding times, and by arranging ventilation windows in the delivery room, which are opened during the time period with the highest temperature in the day when the weather is cold, can circulate air while preventing the ewes and lambs from catching cold.

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0017] like Figure 1 、 2 The sheep pen shown is a sheep pen for large and small sheep, comprising a sheep pen 1, a large sheep pen 4 being provided at the front end of the sheep pen 1, a delivery room 2 being provided at the left side of the rear end, and a small sheep pen 3 being provided at the right side of the rear end. The right end of the delivery room 2 is separated from the small sheep pen 3 by a first outer wall 5, and the front end is separated from the large sheep pen 4 by a second outer wall 6. The front end of the small sheep pen 3 is separated from the large sheep pen 4 by a fence 7. In order to increase the time for cold air to enter the delivery room 2, a Z-shaped aisle 12 is provided at the front end of the delivery room 2 through a first inner wall 8 and a second inner wall 9. In order to facilitate entry and exit from the delivery room 2, a delivery room door 10 and a lamb pen door 11 are symmetrically arranged at the front end of the Z-shaped corridor 12. The delivery room door 10 is hinged to the side wall of the sheep pen 1, and the lamb pen door 11 is hinged to the first outer wall 5. A wall 13 is provided in the middle of the delivery room 2. In order to separate the activity space of the lambs from the ewes and cultivate the lambs' independent eating habits, a fence 15 is provided at the rear end of the delivery room 2. In order to facilitate the replacement of the air in the delivery room 2, a first ventilation window 18 and a second ventilation window are symmetrically provided in the upper middle part of the delivery room 2.
[0018] It should be noted that the fence 7 and the fence 15 in the present invention have the same structure.
[0019] In order to provide independent feeding space for the lambs and the adult lambs and prevent the adult lambs from stepping on the lambs during feeding, a large sheep trough 19 away from the small sheep pen 3 is provided in the large sheep pen 4, and a lamb trough 20 away from the large sheep pen 4 is provided in the small sheep pen 3.
[0020] In order to provide lambs with space for independent activities in the delivery room 2, cultivate independent eating habits, and facilitate the entry and exit of ewes and lambs, one end of the wall 13 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the left end of the sheep pen 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the first outer wall 5. One end of the fence 15 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rear end of the sheep pen 1, and the other end is fixedly connected to the wall 13. Two entrance and exit doors are opened on the wall 13.
[0021] In order to be able to deal with and respond to emergencies in a timely manner, the delivery room 2 is always equipped with necessities such as hot water and common medicines. The necessities are stored in a storage box 17. A storage box 17 is provided in the delivery room 2 and is placed on the right side of the fence 15.
[0022] In order to allow the ewes and lambs to eat separately, a supplementary feeding trough 14 is provided on the left side of the fence 15, and a trough 16 for the ewes is provided on the right side.
[0023] In order to exchange the air in the delivery room 2 with the outside world, the first ventilation window 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the left end of the sheep pen 1, and the second ventilation window is fixedly connected to the first outer wall 5.
[0024] In order to enable the fence 7 and the fence 15 to achieve the effect that the lambs can pass freely while the adult lambs will be blocked, the distance between the rails of the fence 7 and the fence 15 is 15 to 18 centimeters.
[0025] The working process of this embodiment is as follows:
[0026] The ewes to be delivered enter the delivery room 2 through the delivery room door 10 and the Z-shaped passage 12, and are led into the space on the right side of the delivery room 2 through the access door to wait for delivery. Hot water and common medicines are always available in the storage box 17. After the ewes give birth, they recuperate in the delivery room 2. The lambs that have not yet completely separated from the ewes also stay in the delivery room 2. The lambs can go to the left side of the delivery room 2 for activities through the gaps in the fence 15. During daily feeding, the lambs are fed earlier than the ewes. Feed is first poured into the supplementary feeding trough 14 on the left side of the delivery room 2 to cultivate the habit of the lambs to eat in the supplementary feeding trough 14. During the period of highest temperature, open the first ventilation window 18 and the second ventilation window to allow air to circulate in the delivery room 2. After the lambs reach the conditions for independent survival, the lambs are led out of the delivery room 2 through the lamb pen door 11 and into the lamb pen 3. The rested ewes enter the large sheep pen 4. The lambs can move between the lamb pen 3 and the large sheep pen 4 through the fence 7, while the adult sheep can only move in the large sheep pen 4. When feeding, the lambs are still fed earlier than the adult sheep. By separating the feeding places and planning the feeding time, the risk of the adult sheep and the lambs competing for food and the risk of the lambs being trampled during the feeding process of the adult sheep can be avoided.
