Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to animal medical auxiliary equipment, and in particular to a livestock drug delivery gun. Background Technology

[0002] Oral medication is frequently used in livestock breeding and rearing, primarily through feed and drinking water administration. These methods are suitable for routine disease prevention. Their advantages lie in their simplicity, ease of use, and ability to provide long-term administration with a single mixing. However, they also suffer from a lack of precision and are often unsuitable for situations requiring precise dosing.

[0003] For example, in batch breeding processes in pig farms, timed and quantitative drug administration is required, including continuous feeding of acetaminophen for 18 days during estrus synchronization. Currently, this is mainly done using an oil-based liquid feeding gun. However, this method involves inserting the gun tip into the mouths of different sows, easily leading to disease transmission and hindering disease control. By improving drug palatability and dosage form, solid administration can avoid this problem, such as placing tablets on the feed for consumption. However, this still requires individual feeding by the farmer, and improper operation may result in over-dosing, requiring immediate removal of the medication, which incurs certain operational costs. Moreover, to avoid disease transmission, it is not advisable to re-administer the over-dosed medication, which also easily leads to waste. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model provides a livestock drug delivery gun suitable for administering solid drugs.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A livestock medication gun includes a medication storage container and a medication delivery barrel. The medication delivery barrel has a medication inlet on its wall. The medication storage container is connected to the medication delivery barrel through a medication inlet tube. A rotating medication delivery mechanism is provided inside the medication delivery barrel or the medication inlet tube. The rotating medication delivery mechanism is connected to a stepping drive mechanism, which drives the rotating medication delivery mechanism to move intermittently.

[0007] Furthermore, the stepper drive mechanism can be a stepper motor or a servo motor.

[0008] Furthermore, the rotary dispensing mechanism includes a rotating impeller with a space for containing the drug between its two blades. This drug-containing space should preferably be adapted to the size of the solid drug. The dosage of the solid drug is a single-dose dose. This facilitates precise drug delivery.

[0009] Further, the step drive mechanism drives the rotating vane to rotate intermittently, so that the medicine is dropped once per rotation.

[0010] Further, the bottom of the medicine storage container is funnel-shaped and connected with the medicine inlet pipe.

[0011] Further, the livestock medicine gun further comprises a control button, which is electrically connected with the step drive mechanism. The step drive mechanism completes an intermittent movement once per pressing of the control button. That is, the medicine is dropped once per pressing of the control button.

[0012] The utility model further includes a gun handle connected with the medicine feeding gun pipe, and the control button is a trigger, which is located at the gun handle. This is beneficial to convenient operation.

[0013] Further, a battery electrically connected with the step drive mechanism is arranged in the gun handle. The battery can be an alkaline battery or a rechargeable battery, which provides electric energy for the step drive mechanism.

[0014] Optionally, the gun handle is further provided with a display screen. In an embodiment of the utility model, the step drive mechanism is provided with a counter, and the display screen is electrically connected with the step drive mechanism. In this way, the counting result of the counter is displayed on the display screen, so that the number of feeding times can be known in real time.
