TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of live pig breeding, in particular to live pig feeding equipment. BACKGROUND
[0002] Live pig breeding refers to artificial feeding and breeding of domestic pigs except breeding pigs, and the pig industry is an important industry in China's agriculture, which plays a very important role in ensuring meat food safety supply. Live pigs need to be fed during the breeding process. Live pig feeding equipment is needed during the feeding process.
[0003] Traditional live pig feeding methods mostly rely on regular manual inspection and feeding. This method has many drawbacks. On the one hand, it is difficult for manual feeding to accurately monitor the feed reserves in the feed trough in real time, and often the feed is not added in time, resulting in insufficient feeding of some live pigs and affecting growth rate. On the other hand, manual feeding cannot accurately feed according to the differences in feed consumption in different areas, which can easily cause feed waste and increase breeding costs. Although some existing feeding devices achieve automatic feeding to some extent, they lack effective detection means for feed reserves in the feed trough, and it is difficult to flexibly adjust the feeding position according to the actual situation. In large-scale breeding farms, multiple feed troughs are distributed in different areas, and the feed consumption rate of each feed trough varies due to the number of live pigs, activity level and other factors. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a live pig feeding device that can detect the feed reserves in the feed trough in real time and flexibly adjust the feeding position according to the detection results to improve breeding efficiency and reduce production costs. In view of this, we propose live pig feeding equipment. SUMMARY
