AI Technical Summary
In existing sheep pens, when ewes and lambs eat in the same space, the ewes will compete for concentrates, which makes it impossible for the lambs to be effectively fed. In addition, traditional sheep pens have a single structure and function, cannot adjust the space according to the number of sheep, and do not have the function of isolating lambs during the weaning period.
A sheep pen integrating ewes and lambs was designed, comprising the main body of the pen, adjustable pens, and adjustable doors. The adjustable pens, connected by rods and sliding seats on both sides of the main body of the pen, allow ewes and lambs to feed separately. The adjustable doors allow for space adjustment and lamb isolation by sliding the sealing plate.
This effectively avoids the impact of ewes on lambs' feeding, allows for flexible adjustment of the breeding space, and provides isolation during the lambs' weaning period, ensuring the lambs' supplementary feeding needs and reducing stress responses.

Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of sheepfold technology, and specifically relates to a sheepfold for integrated breeding of mutton sheep and their offspring. Background Technology
[0002] Large-scale, facility-based, and standardized stall feeding is the trend in sheep farming. The ewe pen is the most critical facility in large-scale sheep farms, serving as the space for ewes to give birth, nurse, and for lambs to live together. Its scientific design and construction directly impact the ewe's productivity and the lambs' survival rate, health, and growth rate. The lambs' lactation period is crucial for development and growth. However, as lambs grow in the later stages of lactation, relying solely on ewe's milk is no longer sufficient to meet their needs. At this time, lambs require supplemental feed to meet their growth and development requirements. This also serves as a learning process for lambs to supplement their diet, preparing them for independent feeding after weaning and reducing stress. However, during the lactation period, lambs and ewes are usually kept in the same pen. When additional feed is added, the ewes and lambs compete for food, and most of the added feed is consumed by the ewes, failing to guarantee adequate supplemental feeding for the lambs.
[0003] Currently, while existing sheep pens with varying sizes of fences can, to some extent, separate ewes and lambs to prevent them from fighting over food, in practice, some ewes have a sensitive sense of taste and will block the small fence opening after smelling the food, preventing the lambs from eating. Even with a small fence opening, ewes will stick out their tongues to lick the food. Furthermore, traditional sheep pens for ewe and lamb raising have a single structural function, making it difficult to adjust the rearing space according to the needs of the number of sheep, and they do not provide isolation for lambs during the weaning period. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a sheepfold for integrated breeding of mutton sheep and their offspring, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] A sheepfold for integrated breeding of ewes and lambs includes: a main body of the sheepfold and an adjustable pen. The main body of the sheepfold has symmetrical doors on its outer side. The left side of the main body of the sheepfold has a feeding opening for ewes and a first feeding trough. The right side of the main body of the sheepfold has a feeding opening for lambs and a second feeding trough. Mounting rods are symmetrically welded to both the front and rear sides of the main body of the sheepfold. Sliding seats are slidably connected to the outer side of the mounting rods. Connecting plates are symmetrically fixed to the ends of the adjustable pen. The other end of the connecting plate is fixedly installed to the sliding seat. A hand-tightening bolt is threaded to the inner side of the sliding seat. The threaded end of the hand-tightening bolt abuts against the mounting rod. A lamb door slot is opened at the lower end of the adjustable pen. An adjustable door is provided on the inner side of the adjustable pen.
[0007] The regulating gate includes a sealing plate, which is slidably connected to the left side of the regulating rail. A first sliding hole is provided on the inner side of the regulating rail. A screw is rotatably connected to the inner side of the first sliding hole. A slider is threadedly connected to the outer side of the screw. The slider is slidably connected to the inner side of the first sliding hole. One side of the slider and the right side of the sealing plate are fixedly installed. A crank handle is fixedly installed at the upper end of the screw through the wall of the first sliding hole.
[0008] As a preferred technical solution, a slide rail is symmetrically fixedly installed on the left side of the adjustment bar, and the slide rail of the adjustment bar and the sealing plate are slidably connected.
[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a screw hole is provided on the inner side of the slider, and the slider is threadedly connected to the outer side of the screw rod through the screw hole.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the inner side of the connecting plate is provided with a mounting hole, one end of the connecting plate is fixedly installed by a screw passing through the mounting hole and the adjustment rail, and the other end of the connecting plate is fixedly installed by a screw passing through the mounting hole and the slide.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, a second sliding hole is provided on the inner side of the slide block, and the slide block is slidably connected to the outer side of the mounting rod through the second sliding hole.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the lower end of the main body of the sheepfold is welded with a fixing plate, and the fixing plate has symmetrical fixing holes on its inner side.
[0013] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:
[0014] First, by installing adjustable troughs with lamb gate slots on the main body of the sheepfold, during feeding, the ewes eat through the first feeding trough corresponding to the ewe's feeding opening, while the lambs can eat through the lamb gate slot to the second feeding trough corresponding to the lamb's feeding opening on the other side, thus effectively avoiding the influence of the ewe's standing position on the lambs' eating.
[0015] Secondly, by symmetrically installing mounting rods on the outside of the main body of the sheepfold, and adjusting the slides connected by the connecting plate on the mounting rods, and by tightening the hand-tightening bolts on the slides against the mounting rods at the corresponding adjustment positions, the breeding space can be adjusted according to the specific number of ewes and lambs being raised.
[0016] Third, by cranking the screw on the adjustment bar, the screw connected to the crank rotates in the first sliding hole. Due to the rotation of the screw, the outer threaded slider drives the sealing plate to slide on the adjustment bar. When the sealing plate blocks the lamb gate slot on the adjustment bar, the lamb cannot approach the ewe on the other side of the adjustment bar, which makes it convenient to wean the lamb later.

[0022] refer to Figures 1 to 4This embodiment describes a sheepfold for integrated ewe and lamb breeding, comprising: a main body 1 and an adjustable fence 5. Symmetrically arranged doors 2 are provided on the outer side of the main body 1. A ewe feeding opening 3 and a first feeding trough 4 are provided on the left side of the main body 1, and a lamb feeding opening 15 and a second feeding trough 16 are provided on the right side of the main body 1. Mounting rods 10 are symmetrically welded to both the front and rear sides of the main body 1. Sliding seats 14 are slidably connected to the outer side of the mounting rods 10. Connecting plates 9 are symmetrically fixed to the ends of the adjustable fence 5. The other end of the connecting plate 9 is fixedly installed to the sliding seat 14. A hand-tightening bolt 11 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the sliding seat 14, and the threaded end of the hand-tightening bolt 11 abuts against the mounting rod 10. A lamb door slot 7 is opened at the lower end of the adjustable fence 5, and an adjustable door 6 is provided on the inner side of the adjustable fence 5. By installing the adjustable fence 5 with the lamb door slot 7 on the main body 1, the ewe can feed through the lamb door slot 7 during feeding. Lambs eat from the first feeding trough 4 corresponding to the lamb feeding opening 3, while lambs can eat from the second feeding trough 16 corresponding to the lamb feeding opening 15 on the other side through the lamb gate trough 7. This effectively avoids the influence of the ewe's position on the lambs' eating. By symmetrically installing mounting rods 10 on the outside of the sheepfold main body 1, and adjusting the sliding seat 14 connected to the connecting plate 9 on the mounting rods 10, and by combining the hand-tightening bolts 11 on the sliding seat 14 with the mounting rods 10 at the corresponding adjustment positions, the breeding space can be adjusted according to the specific situation of the number of ewes and lambs. It should be noted that in the early stage of lamb breeding, staff need to assist and guide the lambs to eat from the other side through the lamb gate trough 7. After getting used to it, the lambs will go through the lamb gate trough 7 on their own each time they eat. The sheepfold door 2 on the sheepfold main body 1 can be controlled by a lock or by a latch.
[0023] The regulating gate 6 includes a sealing plate 602, which is slidably connected to the left side of the regulating rail 5. A first sliding hole 605 is provided on the inner side of the regulating rail 5. A screw 604 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the first sliding hole 605, and a slider 603 is threadedly connected to the outer side of the screw 604. The slider 603 is slidably connected to the inner side of the first sliding hole 605. One side of the slider 603 and the right side of the sealing plate 602 are fixedly installed. The upper end of the screw 604 is fixedly installed through the wall of the first sliding hole 605. There is a crank 601. By cranking the crank 601, the screw 604 rotates on the adjustment bar 5, causing the screw 604 connected to the crank 601 to rotate in the first sliding hole 605. Due to the rotation of the screw 604, the outer threaded slider 603 drives the sealing plate 602 to slide on the adjustment bar 5. When the sealing plate 602 blocks the lamb gate slot 7 on the adjustment bar 5, the lamb cannot approach the ewe on the other side of the adjustment bar 5, which can facilitate the weaning of the lamb later.
[0024] refer to Figure 1A slide rail 8 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the left side of the adjustment bar 5. The slide rail 8 of the adjustment bar 5 is slidably connected to one side of the sealing plate 602. By installing the slide rail 8 on the adjustment bar 5, the sealing plate 602 can slide easily on the adjustment bar 5.
[0025] refer to Figure 4 The inner side of the slider 603 is provided with a screw hole 19. The slider 603 is threaded to the outside of the screw rod 604 through the screw hole 19. The slider 603 can be threaded to the outside of the screw rod 604 through the screw hole 19 on the slider 603.
[0026] refer to Figure 2 The inner side of the connecting plate 9 has a mounting hole 13. One end of the connecting plate 9 is fixedly installed to the adjustment rail 5 by screws passing through the mounting hole 13. The other end of the connecting plate 9 is fixedly installed to the slide 14 by screws passing through the mounting hole 13. The mounting hole 13 on the inner side of the connecting plate 9 allows the connecting plate 9 to easily connect the adjustment rail 5 and the slide 14 with screws.
[0027] refer to Figure 2 The inner side of the slide block 14 is provided with a second sliding hole 12. The slide block 14 is slidably connected to the outer side of the mounting rod 10 through the second sliding hole 12. By providing the second sliding hole 12 on the inner side of the slide block 14, the slide block 14 can be slidably connected to the outer side of the mounting rod 10.
[0028] refer to Figure 3 The lower end of the sheep pen body 1 is welded with a fixing plate 17. The fixing plate 17 has symmetrical fixing holes 18 on its inner side. The sheep pen body 1 can be easily installed through the fixing plate 17 with fixing holes 18 on the sheep pen body 1.
[0029] Operating principle and advantages: During use, by symmetrically installing mounting rods 10 on the outside of the sheepfold body 1, and adjusting the railing 5 by sliding the slide seat 14 connected by the connecting plate 9 on the mounting rods 10, and by combining the hand-tightening bolts 11 on the slide seat 14 with the mounting rods 10 at the corresponding adjustment positions, the breeding space can be adjusted according to the specific situation of the number of ewes and lambs. By cranking the handle 601, the screw 604 rotates on the adjusting railing 5, so that the screw 604 connected to the handle 601 rotates in the first sliding hole 605. Due to the rotation of the screw 604, the outer threaded connecting slider 603 drives the sealing plate 602 to slide on the adjusting railing 5. When the sealing plate 602 blocks the lamb gate slot 7 on the adjusting railing 5, the lambs cannot approach the ewes on the other side of the adjusting railing 5, which can be used for weaning the lambs.
[0030] In use, an adjustable bar 5 with a lamb gate slot 7 is installed on the main body 1 of the sheepfold. During feeding, the ewes eat through the first feeding trough 4 corresponding to the ewe feeding opening 3, while the lambs can eat through the lamb gate slot 7 to the second feeding trough 16 corresponding to the lamb feeding opening 15 on the other side.
