Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock feeding equipment technology, specifically a bovine rumen fluid collection device. Background Technology
[0002] When studying bovine digestion and metabolism, it is necessary to collect a certain amount of rumen fluid samples to analyze changes in rumen fermentation parameters such as pH value, ammonia nitrogen content, and volatile fatty acid (VFA) content, as well as the microbial population. Rumen fluid from healthy cattle is highly effective in treating digestive tract diseases such as rumen dyspepsia and rumen impaction. Obtaining rumen fluid requires collecting it from healthy cattle. Currently, rumen fluid collection typically involves inserting a negative pressure suction tube into the rumen fistula to collect the fluid.
[0003] According to the "Bovine Rumen Fluid Collection Device" published in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN212879384U, a miniature pump is used to collect bovine rumen fluid. The addition of a gastric tube placement slot greatly facilitates the storage of the gastric tube, preventing it from becoming knotted or taking up too much space due to excessive length. The device is equipped with an electric heating plate and a temperature sensor connected to a controller, which keeps the temperature of the bovine rumen fluid in the storage tank stable at a suitable temperature for microbial survival, thus extending the storage time of the bovine rumen fluid. The overall device facilitates the collection and storage of bovine rumen fluid, which is of great help in the treatment of bovine digestive tract diseases, and makes the implementation process more efficient for staff.
[0004] However, the above-mentioned device has the problem that during the process of collecting rumen fluid, it is necessary to manually pry open the animal's mouth continuously, which is time-consuming, laborious, and inefficient. At the same time, it is easy to cause the suction tube to be bitten off or flattened, affecting the normal suction work. Utility Model Content
