Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of poultry feeding technology, and in particular to a device for individual identification and precise feeding of breeding chickens. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of poultry feeding technology, the rational control of feeding methods and techniques based on the growth cycle of poultry has a significant impact on the condition of poultry at different stages. Chicken farming can be divided into breeding chicken farming and broiler chicken farming. Compared with broiler chickens, breeding chickens have a longer breeding cycle, which can generally be divided into three main stages: brooding period, growing period, and laying period. The breeding process is complex, and the nutritional needs, stocking density, and growth conditions are different at different growth stages. Refined feeding management is required to provide the most suitable growth environment for breeding chickens and achieve high yield and high efficiency.

[0003] An automatic feed dispensing device for chickens, disclosed in publication number CN 221011475U, includes a feeding main body. An installation port is provided on the outer side of the feeding main body, and a feeding trough is movably connected to the inner side of the installation port. A fixing component is fixedly connected to the top of the feeding main body. An installation groove is provided at the center of the top of the feeding main body, and a feed outlet is provided on the inner side of the installation groove. A bearing is fixedly connected to the center of the inner side of the installation groove.
