Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of waterfowl health breeding management, and in particular relates to an adjustable feeding device to prevent waterfowl from competing for food. Background Technology
[0002] While broiler and layer chicken farming techniques are relatively mature, waterfowl, due to their inherent growth habits, have not yet overcome the bottleneck of cage rearing and are currently primarily raised on the ground. In this method, feed troughs are often completely open, allowing ducks, geese, and other waterfowl to freely enter and feed. This easily leads to bacteria from the waterfowl's feathers and feet remaining in the troughs, contaminating the feed and water. Furthermore, the limited feeding space forces ducks and geese to huddle together to eat, making it difficult for smaller birds to reach the food, resulting in malnutrition and slow growth. During feeding, the troughs are prone to tipping over, spilling large amounts of feed. This not only wastes feed but also makes the spilled feed difficult to clean, polluting the waterfowl's living environment to some extent. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides an adjustable feeding device to prevent waterfowl from competing for food, thereby solving the above-mentioned problems.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] An adjustable feeding device for preventing waterfowl from competing for food includes: a feed trough body, double-sided fences, and support legs. A plurality of the support legs are installed on the side walls of the feed trough body, and a plurality of the double-sided fences are detachably installed on the top of the feed trough body. The gaps between the plurality of double-sided fences allow waterfowl to extend their heads and necks into the feed trough body to feed, thereby preventing waterfowl from competing for food.
[0006] Furthermore, the feed trough body is U-shaped and is used for feeding flat-billed waterfowl.
[0007] Furthermore, a stainless steel partition is fixedly installed inside the feed trough body for holding water and feed respectively.
[0008] Furthermore, the double-sided fence is pointed, and multiple evenly spaced small holes with upward openings are provided on both sides of the trough body. Vertically downward mounting sections are provided at both ends of the double-sided fence, and the mounting sections are inserted into the small holes.
[0009] Furthermore, multiple double-sided fences are inserted into small holes at different intervals, which can adjust the spacing of the double-sided fences to accommodate the heads and necks of waterfowl of different breeds and growth stages.
[0010] Furthermore, the support leg includes an outer cylinder, an inner cylinder, a clamping ring, and a handle. The outer cylinder is sleeved on the outer wall of the inner cylinder and slidably connected to the outer wall of the inner cylinder. The clamping ring is fixedly installed at the top of the outer cylinder. A rotating rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the handle, and both ends of the rotating rod are fixedly connected to the inside of the clamping ring. A groove is provided on the side wall of the outer cylinder, and a pad is provided between the handle and the groove. During the rotation of the handle around the axis of the rotating rod, the pad is pressed against the pad. The pad presses against the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder, which is used to fix the inner cylinder in the outer cylinder to the required height. The top of the inner cylinder is fixedly connected to the side wall of the trough body.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] This invention uses a double-sided fence with spacing to prevent waterfowl from directly entering the feeding trough to eat and drink, thus minimizing competition for food, improving feeding efficiency, reducing feed waste and contamination, ensuring nutrient intake, and promoting the health and growth of the waterfowl. Furthermore, the adjustable spacing of the double-sided fence and the height of the feeding trough make this feeding equipment suitable for a wide range of waterfowl species and growth stages, demonstrating its versatility. The invention also features a simple and reasonable structure, is easy to manufacture, convenient to use, and readily applicable. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] See attached document Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides an adjustable feeding device to prevent waterfowl from competing for food, including: a feed trough body 1, double-sided fences 2, and support legs 6. Multiple support legs 6 are installed on the side wall of the feed trough body 1. The support legs 6 are used to fix the feed trough body 1 and have a telescopic function, which can adjust the height of the feed trough body 1 to adapt to different breeds and growth stages of waterfowl. Multiple double-sided fences 2 are detachably installed on the top of the feed trough body 1, which is convenient for cleaning and feeding, as well as for adding food to the feed trough body 1. The gaps between the multiple double-sided fences 2 are used to allow the waterfowl's head and neck to penetrate into the feed trough body 1 to eat while preventing the waterfowl's body from entering, thus preventing waterfowl from competing for food.
[0023] The feed trough body 1 is a galvanized U-shaped structure, which is convenient for flat-billed waterfowl to feed, sturdy and durable, and not easily deformed.
[0024] A stainless steel partition 3 is fixedly installed inside the feed trough body 1. The stainless steel partition 3 divides the feed trough body 1 into two parts, which hold water and feed respectively, thus realizing the integration of water and feed.
[0025] The double-sided fence 2 is pointed, and multiple evenly spaced small holes 4 with upward openings are provided on both sides of the trough body 1. Vertically downward mounting sections 5 are provided at both ends of the double-sided fence 2. The mounting sections 5 are inserted into the small holes 4 to facilitate the disassembly of the double-sided fence 2.
[0026] Multiple double-sided fences 2 are inserted into small holes 4 at different intervals, which can adjust the spacing of the double-sided fences 2 so that the spacing of the double-sided fences 2 is only larger than the head and neck of the waterfowl but smaller than the body of the waterfowl, thus preventing waterfowl of different species and growth stages from competing for food.
[0027] The support leg 6 includes an outer cylinder 8, an inner cylinder 9, a clamping ring 10, and a handle 11. The outer cylinder 8 is fitted onto the outer wall of the inner cylinder 9 and is slidably connected to it. The clamping ring 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the outer cylinder 8. A rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the handle 11. Both ends of the rotating rod 12 are fixedly connected to the inside of the clamping ring 10. A groove 7 is provided on the side wall of the outer cylinder 8. A pad 13 is placed between the handle 11 and the groove 7. As the handle 11 rotates around the axis of the rotating rod 12, it presses against the pad 13. The pad 13 presses against the outer cylinder 8 and the inner cylinder 9, thereby fixing the inner cylinder 9 within the outer cylinder 8 at the required height, realizing the height adjustment of the support leg 6, and thus the height adjustment of the trough body 1. The top of the inner cylinder 9 in the support leg 6 is fastened to the four corners of the U-shaped trough body 1 with screws, making the U-shaped trough body 1 less prone to tipping over.
