Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry management and breeding technology, and in particular to a Mediterranean bull fattening management device. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional Mediterranean bull fattening, numerous problems often arise during the feeding process. When multiple cattle feed together, their instinctive competitive nature easily leads to competition for food. This competition not only prevents some cattle from obtaining enough food, affecting their normal growth and fattening, but also causes injuries due to pushing and butting among the cattle, increasing the risk of disease and management difficulties during the feeding process.

[0003] In addition, the traditional cattle shed feeding area design is relatively fixed and lacks effective separation facilities to regulate the cattle's feeding positions. Once the feeding area is dirty or needs to be cleaned and disinfected, the lack of convenient way to retract or adjust the structure often requires a lot of manpower and time, and it is difficult to clean thoroughly. This allows pathogens such as bacteria and parasites to easily breed and multiply in the feeding area, which in turn affects the health of the entire herd and causes economic losses to farmers. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a Mediterranean bull fattening management device to solve the problem of cattle competing for food and to facilitate the cleaning and maintenance of the feeding area.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a Mediterranean bull fattening management device, comprising: a frame, a feed trough installed on one side of the frame, a base installed at the bottom of the frame, a plurality of telescopic columns installed on the side of the base near the feed trough, the other ends of the plurality of telescopic columns being connected to the feed trough, two support columns installed in the middle of the frame, and a partition component installed on one side of the frame, the partition component being used to partition the internal space of the feed trough.

[0006] Preferably, a plurality of first sliders are installed on the side of the feed trough near the frame, and a plurality of first grooves are provided on both sides of the frame, with each of the plurality of first grooves corresponding to one of the first sliders.

[0007] Preferably, a second groove is provided on the side of each of the two support columns near the feed trough.

[0008] Preferably, the separating assembly includes a separating plate slidably mounted on the second slide groove. The separating plates are jointly mounted at both ends of a crossbar. A connecting sleeve is mounted in the middle of the crossbar. A connecting rod is mounted on the side of the connecting sleeve away from the base. A connecting arm is mounted on the other end of the connecting rod. A rotating shaft is mounted on the side of the connecting arm away from the connecting rod. A retaining sleeve is mounted in the middle of the rotating shaft. The retaining sleeve is rotatably mounted in a fixed seat. The fixed seat is mounted on one side of the connecting plate. Several sliding rods are mounted on the side of the connecting plate near the frame.

[0009] Preferably, the support column has a sliding groove at the end away from the base, the sliding groove is adapted to the slide rod, and the slide rod is slidably installed in the sliding groove.

[0010] Preferably, the ferrule is hook-shaped, and the hook shape of the ferrule is adapted to the connecting plate.

[0011] Preferably, the partition plate has a slot on the side near the feed trough, and the slot is adapted to one side of the feed trough.

[0012] Preferably, a plurality of second sliders are installed on the side of the partition plate near the frame, and the second sliders are slidably installed in the second groove.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. This Mediterranean bull fattening management device features a telescopic column that, in conjunction with the feed trough, automatically adjusts the trough's position based on feed weight. When feed is added, the telescopic column is compressed, causing the trough to move in a specific direction until the weight of the feed and the elastic force of the telescopic column reach equilibrium, at which point the trough stops moving. Simultaneously, as the cattle eat and the amount of feed decreases, the feed trough automatically rises under the elastic force of the telescopic column, ensuring the cattle can reach the feed at the bottom of the trough and reducing waste.

[0015] 2. This Mediterranean bull fattening management device, by incorporating partitions, divides the internal space of the feed troughs, promoting orderly feeding and preventing competition for food among cattle. This ensures each cow receives a balanced food supply, promoting healthy growth. Furthermore, the partitions facilitate cleaning of the feed troughs after the cattle have finished eating, maintaining hygiene and preventing feed accumulation and bacterial growth in corners, further protecting the cattle's health.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0025] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this utility model should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the Mediterranean bull fattening management device includes: a frame 1, a feed trough 3 installed on one side of the frame 1, a base 2 installed at the bottom of the frame 1, several telescopic columns 5 installed on the side of the base 2 near the feed trough 3, the other ends of the several telescopic columns 5 are connected to the feed trough 3, two support columns 4 are installed in the middle of the frame 1, a partition component is installed on one side of the frame 1, the partition component is used to partition the internal space of the feed trough 3; several first sliders 6 are installed on the side of the feed trough 3 near the frame 1, several first grooves 7 are opened on both sides of the frame 1, the several first grooves 7 correspond one-to-one with the first sliders 6; and two second grooves 8 are opened on the side of the two support columns 4 near the feed trough 3.

[0027] When the worker puts feed into the feed trough 3, the telescopic column 5 is compressed, and the feed trough 3 moves along the direction of the first slide 7. When the weight of the feed and the elastic force of the telescopic column 5 reach equilibrium, the feed trough 3 stops moving, and the cattle can start eating. At this time, the dividing component separates the space in the feed trough 3. The setting of the dividing component allows the cattle to eat in an orderly manner and avoids the phenomenon of cattle fighting for food. Fighting for food often results in some cattle not getting enough food, thus failing to meet their nutritional needs for growth, which in turn affects their growth rate and overall health. During the process of fighting for food, cattle may fight and collide, resulting in physical injuries such as skin abrasions and fractures. These injuries not only affect the health of cattle but may also increase breeding costs and treatment expenses. Fighting for food and fighting may cause stress reactions in cattle, such as rapid heartbeat and rapid breathing. Long-term stress may reduce the immunity of cattle and make them more susceptible to disease. The setting of the dividing component can effectively avoid these phenomena.

[0028] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the partition assembly includes partition plates 9 slidably mounted on the second slide groove 8. The partition plates 9 are mounted at both ends of the crossbar 10. A connecting sleeve 11 is mounted in the middle of the crossbar 10. A connecting rod 12 is mounted on the side of the connecting sleeve 11 away from the base 2. A connecting arm 13 is mounted on the other end of the connecting rod 12. A rotating shaft 14 is mounted on the side of the connecting arm 13 away from the connecting rod 12. A retaining sleeve 15 is mounted in the middle of the rotating shaft 14. The retaining sleeve 15 is rotatably mounted in a fixed seat 16. The fixed seat 16 is mounted on one side of a connecting plate 17. A number of sliding rods 18 are installed on the side of the frame 17 near the frame 1; a sliding groove 19 is opened at the end of the support column 4 away from the base 2, the sliding groove 19 is adapted to the sliding rods 18, and the sliding rods 18 are slidably installed in the sliding groove 19; the sleeve 15 is hook-shaped, and the hook shape of the sleeve 15 is adapted to the connecting plate 17; a slot 20 is opened on the side of the partition plate 9 near the feed trough 3, and the slot 20 is adapted to one side of the feed trough 3; a number of second sliders 21 are installed on the side of the partition plate 9 near the frame 1, and the second sliders 21 are slidably installed in the second sliding groove 8;

[0029] The slot 20 first engages with one side of the feed trough 3. As feed is added to the feed trough 3, the feed trough 3 slides along the first slide 7 towards the base 2, and the entire separating assembly moves accordingly. The slot 20 separates the space inside the feed trough 3. After the feed is added, the feed trough 3 stops moving, and the cattle begin to eat in an orderly manner. As the cattle eat, the feed in the feed trough 3 decreases, and the weight of the feed trough 3 begins to decrease. Then, under the action of the elasticity of the telescopic column 5, the feed trough 3 begins to move along the first slide 7 in the opposite direction to the base 2, preventing the cattle from not being able to reach the bottom of the feed trough 3 due to the decrease in feed. Feed waste occurs during the upward and downward movement of the feed trough 3. The separating component moves along with it, separating the internal space of the feed trough 3. When the cattle finish eating and the feed trough 3 needs to be cleaned, the staff rotates the sleeve 15 to engage it with the connecting plate 17. This process causes the slot 20 to slide along the second slide 8 toward the connecting plate 17, thus separating the slot 20 from the feed trough 3. This makes it easier for the staff to clean the feed trough 3, maintain the hygiene of the internal space of the feed trough 3, and prevent feed from accumulating in dead corners. If the staff cannot clean it properly, bacteria will grow and affect the health of the cattle.
