Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of livestock enclosure technology, specifically a channel-type enclosure for disease prevention, sampling and mating of plateau grazing yaks. Background Technology

[0002] In high-altitude regions, yak farming is an important part of local animal husbandry. As a breed unique to the plateau, yaks have adapted to harsh natural environments such as high altitude and low oxygen levels, providing local residents with a variety of necessities, including meat, milk, and wool. However, traditional high-altitude grazing yak farming methods face numerous challenges in areas such as yak disease prevention, sampling, and breeding.

[0003] Existing fences may lack efficient design and may be prone to deformation. They are unlikely to provide a strong and impact-resistant barrier for wild and powerful yaks, and cannot adequately meet the needs of the high-altitude grazing environment. This makes it difficult to quickly and safely carry out operations such as vaccination, sampling, and mating of large numbers of yaks during disease prevention and control.

[0004] To address the problems raised in the background art, those skilled in the art have proposed a channel-type sampling and mating fence for disease prevention of grazing yaks on the plateau. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a channel-type sampling and breeding fence for plateau grazing yaks, which solves the problem that existing fences make it difficult to quickly and safely perform vaccination, sampling, and breeding operations on a large number of yaks.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are for illustrative purposes only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model.

[0023] Example 1: As shown in the attached document Figure 1 To be continued Figure 3 As shown: This utility model provides a channel-type sampling and breeding fence for grazing yaks on the plateau, including a fence body 1, a first gate 2, and a second gate 3;

[0024] The fence body 1 includes a first support rod 101, a second support rod 102, a top rod 103, a connecting rod 104, and a surrounding rod 105. Several first support rods 101 and second support rods 102 are fixedly connected to the bottom surfaces of both sets of top rods 103. Several connecting rods 104 are arrayed between the two sets of top rods 103, forming a cell 9 between the first support rods 101 and second support rods 102. Surrounding rods 105 are arrayed within the cell 9. The fence body 1 is 20 meters long, and the connecting rods 104 are 1.23 meters wide, dividing the 20-meter fence into 10 sections. Each section, when separated from the inside, allows three yaks to stand side-by-side (closely adjacent). The fence can enclose 30 yaks at a time, effectively preventing yaks from moving left, right, forward, or backward, and facilitating their relative fixation. The 1.23-meter-wide connecting rods 104 allow people to stand on top, with their legs spread and feet on the top rods 103, safely driving the yaks within the fence.

[0025] The first gate body 2 is fixed at the inlet end of the fence body 1, and the first gate body 2 is fixed between the first support rod 101 and the connecting rod 104 at the end.

[0026] The second gate 3 is fixed to the exit end of the fence body 1; the second gate 3 is fixed between the first support rod 101 and the connecting rod 104 at the end;

[0027] The first support rod 101 and the second support rod 102 are staggered. There are six sets of the first support rod 101 and five sets of the second support rod 102. There are ten sets of cell 9. Each cell 9 is two meters long. The fence is divided into 10 cells 9, which is conducive to fixing the fence and performing artificial insemination on yaks.

[0028] The enclosure rod 105 includes a first enclosure rod 105a, a second enclosure rod 105b, a third enclosure rod 105c, a fourth enclosure rod 105d, and a fifth enclosure rod 105e. The first enclosure rod 105a, the second enclosure rod 105b, the third enclosure rod 105c, the fourth enclosure rod 105d, and the fifth enclosure rod 105e are fixed in an array to the inner wall of the cell 9. The distance between the first enclosure rod 105a and the top rod 103 is 25cm, the distance between the first enclosure rod 105a and the second enclosure rod 105b is 20cm, the distance between the second enclosure rod 105b and the third enclosure rod 105c is 20cm, the distance between the third enclosure rod 105c and the fourth enclosure rod 105d is 20cm, and the distance between the fourth enclosure rod 105d and the fifth enclosure rod 105e is 20cm. The fifth enclosure rod 105e is 20cm above the horizontal plane.

[0029] The enclosure is divided into six sections, 1 to 6, with the first section being 25cm high and the second through sixth sections each 20cm high. The sixth section is ground level. The six sections, along with six 10cm wide railings, form a fence that is 1.85m high. This raises the average height of an adult yak by about 1.2m, preventing it from jumping out. The 20cm gap at the bottom is smaller than the length of a yak's head, preventing the yak from sticking its head out of the gap and getting stuck between the steel railings. It also allows personnel involved in epidemic prevention and sampling to easily reach their arms into the enclosure from both sides.

[0030] Hinges 4 are installed between the first door body 2 and the second door body 3 and the first support rod 101. Locking assemblies are installed between the first door body 2 and the second door body 3 and the first support rod 101. The locking assemblies include fixing pieces 5 fixed to the surfaces of the first door body 2 and the second door body 3, fixing rings 6 fixed to the outer wall of the first support rod 101, and ropes 7 wrapped between the fixing pieces 5 and the fixing rings 6.

[0031] It also includes cement blocks 8, which are arranged underground, and the first support rod 101 is fixed to the upper surface of the cement blocks 8.

[0032] The first gate 2 can be fully opened to 180°, and the second gate 3 can be opened to 90-180°; the gate height is the same as the fence height, i.e., 1.85m; 1.5mm thick iron sheets are welded to the first gate 2 and the second gate 3 so that the yaks inside the fence cannot see outside the gate, thus preventing them from rushing out of the gate.

[0033] The first gate 2 can be opened and rotated 180° to be attached to one side of the fence, making it convenient to drive yaks into the enclosure; after the first gate 2 is closed, it is fixed to the fixing ring 6 on the other side with rope 7, making it convenient to control the opening and closing of the gate.

[0034] This fence is fixedly built outside a corner of the yak enclosure. The second gate 3 of the fence leads to the pasture. One outer side of the fence is in a straight line with one of the inner walls of the enclosure. When the first gate 2 is opened 180°, it can be parallel to the other wall.

[0035] During epidemic prevention: Close the second door 3, use rope 7 to fix the door to the fixing ring 6, open the first door 2, and open the door to 180°;

[0036] After opening, make the door fit tightly against the wall; drive the yaks out of the enclosure, up to 30 adult yaks can be driven in at a time, pull rope 7 to close the first door 2, and tie rope 7 to the channel steel on the inner side;

[0037] The epidemic prevention personnel stood on both sides of the fence, and put their arms holding syringes into the fence through the gaps in the channel steel. The fence was 1.23m wide, and there were 3 adult yaks standing in each row. The epidemic prevention personnel could touch the yaks inside the fence when giving injections from both sides.

[0038] Inject the yak's neck or rump one by one, starting from the front of the fence and moving to the back.

[0039] After the vaccination, the person on one side of the gate rope unties the exit rope 7, revealing a wider gap in the gate. The people on both sides drive the yaks inside the enclosure. With the collision of the yaks in front, the gap in the gate widens and opens, and the yaks quickly leave the enclosure from front to back. After the enclosure is empty of yaks, the second gate 3 is closed, the rope 7 of the first gate 2 is untied, the gate is placed close to the wall of the enclosure, and then the yaks inside the enclosure are driven into the enclosure to begin the next vaccination.

[0040] During this period, in order to keep each yak in place, the yaks stand close together due to the small space inside the enclosure. If a cow (mostly a calf) lies down or cannot stand upright, the herdsmen must use sticks to clear the passage of cows and drive the lying cows up in time to prevent trampling and injury.

[0041] During disease prevention, a maximum of 30 adult yaks should be herded into the enclosure at a time. Too few yaks will not be able to be held tightly and will sway back and forth and side to side, which is not conducive to vaccination. Too many yaks will cause trampling injuries.

[0042] During sampling: Repeat the S1 cattle herding operation, and the method and number of cattle to be put in and released are the same as those for the above epidemic prevention.

[0043] During blood collection, the yaks whose hindquarters are close together in the pen are collected first. The tail base blood collection method is used. The blood collector reaches in with their left hand through a gap at a higher position, grasps the yak's tail, lifts it upwards to expose the lower tail base, and uses their right hand to hold the lancet and insert it through a gap at a lower position to collect blood from the vein under the tail base. (Yaks standing in the middle of the pen:)

[0044] If it's inconvenient to extend both arms inside, an assistant herder can stand on top of the fence, with their back against the steel channel connecting the top and sides. The herder should straddle the fence, bend down, and place their feet on the second horizontal steel channel in the first gap on each side. They should then bend over, grasp the cow's tail handed to them by someone on the side of the fence, and pull it upwards to expose the base of the tail. The person collecting blood can then hold the lancet in one hand and extend their arm inside the fence to draw blood from the vein at the base of the tail. Alternatively, a few yaks can be driven into the fence at a time, leaving a small gap. If the yaks in the middle are difficult for the person collecting blood, the assistant (herder) can use a short stick to reach inside the fence and drive the yaks on the front, back, and sides, slightly adjusting their positions to move the yaks from the middle to the sides for easier blood collection.

[0045] Artificial insemination and direct examination: Artificial insemination is carried out using artificial estrus synchronization technology. Each time, 15 yaks are driven into the enclosure, with 3 yaks arranged side by side in a 2m long unit grid (10 units in total). Starting from the first unit, 3 yaks are locked up every other unit, i.e., yaks are locked up in units 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9, and units 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 are left empty.

[0046] Except for the front of cell 1, which does not require a log partition (it has a door), all other cells with cattle are secured with four logs (10cm in diameter, 2-2.5cm long) or 5cm diameter steel pipes. These logs are inserted from the inside of the vertical channel steel on both sides, through gaps 2, 3, 4, and 5, into the corresponding gaps on the other side to fix the cattle in place, preventing them from moving forward or backward, butting, or kicking. This also improves the safety of the inspection and insemination personnel. After the cattle are secured with logs, the inspection or artificial insemination personnel enter the pen and stand in the gaps of the 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 fence spaces. They operate at the tail of the cattle. After each cattle is inspected or artificially inseminated, the operator exits the fence, and the staff removes the inserted logs (or steel pipes) from front to back from the side. Once all logs are removed, the second door 3 is opened to release the yaks from the fence. After all yaks have been released, the second door 3 is closed, the entrance door is opened, and the cattle are herded back into the fence for the second time.

[0047] The system can handle 30 yaks at a time for disease prevention and sampling, and 15 yaks at a time for artificial insemination and direct testing. If the yak herd is large, the passageway can be lengthened appropriately, with an additional 3 yaks enclosed for every 2 meters of length added, greatly improving the efficiency of yak handling.

[0048] The structural design of this fence fully considers the safety of operators. Through reasonable gap setting and height design, it not only facilitates the work of epidemic prevention and sampling personnel by extending their arms into the fence from both sides, but also prevents yaks from jumping out or getting their heads stuck. During artificial insemination and direct testing, the yaks are fixed with logs or steel pipes to prevent them from butting and kicking, ensuring the safety of direct testing and insemination personnel.

[0049] The enclosure's interior is designed to effectively restrain yaks. Dividing the 20-meter-long enclosure into 10 2-meter-long cells allows three yaks to stand side-by-side, keeping them close together and effectively preventing them from moving laterally or backward. During artificial insemination and direct examination, the specific cell layout and log (or steel pipe) barriers further secure the yaks, facilitating the procedure. The enclosure is constructed of 10cm channel steel, ensuring durability and resistance to deformation in the variable climate of the plateau. Its robust construction and impact resistance make it well-suited to the high-altitude grazing environment and the wild nature of yaks.

[0050] Each disease prevention and breeding process can be completed by only 4-5 people, and 500-1000 yaks can be immunized every day. Compared with the traditional method, it greatly saves manpower and material resources, reduces breeding costs, and improves breeding efficiency.

[0051] By setting up a first gate 2 and a second gate 3, it is easy to drive yaks into the enclosure, and the use of ropes to secure the gates facilitates control of their opening and closing. During the operation, the procedures for herding yaks, administering injections, collecting blood, conducting direct examinations, and mating are clear and easy for staff to follow. Furthermore, there are corresponding countermeasures for special situations that may arise during yak handling (such as calves lying down), ensuring the smooth progress of the operation.

[0052] This fence is not only suitable for disease prevention, sampling, and breeding of yaks grazing on the plateau, but with appropriate adjustments, it can also be used for related work on free-range cattle and beef cattle in agricultural areas.
