Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of livestock breeding device especially, it relates to a feed trough for cattle breeding. BACKGROUND
[0002] Livestock breeding refers to the production department that livestock is fed to obtain animal products or work animals through grazing, breeding or the combination of the two, covering livestock feeding and wild animal domestication two fields. Among them, livestock mainly includes pigs, cattle, sheep, horses, camels, rabbits, cats, dogs, etc., and poultry includes chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys, pigeons and domesticated quail, etc. As an important branch of livestock breeding, beef cattle breeding is a technology-intensive agricultural industry that requires overall planning of animal management, feeding management and disease prevention and control and other professional knowledge.
[0003] During the feeding process of beef cattle, regular cleaning of the feeding trough is a crucial link. Once the feed is contaminated, it is no longer suitable for feeding, and the residual feed in the trough not only damages the digestive system of beef cattle, but also breeds bacteria and attracts insects, thereby causing environmental pollution and odor problems. The current outdoor feeding trough on the market has a simple structure and only has basic feeding functions, with the following deficiencies:
[0004] 1. Difficult to clean: the mixture of feed and water is easily adhered to the trough wall, and feed residues are easily left, breeding mold or bacteria, leading to spoilage of fresh feed.
[0005] 2. Feed waste: cattle often tip feed (especially powder or granular feed) outside the trough when feeding, with a throwing rate of 10%-15%.
[0006] 3. Highly uncomfortable: the trough is too high (small cattle cannot reach) or too low (adult cattle have to bend over).

[0036] Referring to Figures 1-5 As shown in the figure.
[0037] The utility model provides a kind of feed trough for cattle breeding, including frame body and the groove body 1 fixed in the upper of frame body, the groove body 1 has arc bottom, preferably, frame body and groove body 1 can adopt stainless steel material, give consideration to clean and durable.
[0038] In order to avoid arching feed when cattle feeds, improve feed utilization, the upper of the groove body 1 is equipped with shielding component, the shielding component includes anticapital department 2.In order to reduce rainwater intrusion and cause feed mildew, the shielding component also includes rainproof part 3.Specifically, the bottom of the anticapital department 2 is fixed in the upper of one side edge of groove body 1, the top of the anticapital department 2 is connected with the rainproof part 3, the rainproof part 3 is arc and extends to the upper of groove body 1.
[0039] In order to improve the cleaning strength and ensure the cleaning effect, the rotating scraper assembly is movably connected in the groove body 1, the rotating scraper assembly slides horizontally along the length direction of the groove body 1, the rotating scraper assembly comprises a rotating rod 4 and a first scraper 5 and a second scraper 6 connected in the circumferential direction of the rotating rod 4. The first scraper 5 is used for cleaning the residual feed residues adhered to the groove wall, and the second scraper 6 is used for cleaning the water stains left after the high-pressure water gun cleaning.
[0040] Specifically, the bottom shape of the first scraper 5 and the second scraper 6 matches the arc-shaped bottom of the groove body 1, the included angle of the first scraper 5 and the second scraper 6 is 45-60 degrees, and the first scraper 5 and the second scraper 6 can be switched by rotating the rotating rod 4. The bottom edge of the first scraper 5 is provided with a residue cleaning part 7, preferably, the residue cleaning part 7 is made of metal material (such as stainless steel), and the bottom edge of the second scraper 6 is provided with a water stain cleaning part 8, preferably, the water stain cleaning part 8 is made of rubber material.
[0041] Regarding the specific connection mode of the rotating rod 4 to realize horizontal sliding, for example, one end of the rotating rod 4 is slidably connected to the front side edge 10 of the groove body 1 through a first sliding block 13, the other end of the rotating rod 4 is slidably connected in the horizontal sliding groove 15 of the arch preventing part 2 through a second sliding block 14. The rotating rod 4 is rotatably connected in the fixed block 16 through a bearing, the fixed block 16 is fixedly connected above the first sliding block 13, in order to facilitate cleaning operation, the end of the rotating rod 4 is connected with a handle 21. By moving the handle along the left and right of the groove body and switching the first scraper and the second scraper, the cleaning of the residual feed residues adhered to the groove wall or the residual water stains is realized.
[0042] In order to facilitate the removal of residual feed residues or residual water stains outside the trough, two sides of the trough 1 are respectively provided with movable doors 9. Specifically, the upper end of the movable door 9 is hinged to the top edge of the trough 1, and the lower end of the movable door 9 is magnetically connected to the bottom edge of the trough 1 by a magnet 17. A sealing strip 18 is arranged between the movable door 9 and the edge of the trough 1. The magnet can be embedded in the sealing strip. Through the magnetic connection of the magnet, it is ensured that the movable door 9 cannot be easily opened. At the same time, through the arrangement of the sealing strip, the leakage of feed or the outflow of water is avoided. When it is necessary to clean the residual feed residues, the first scraper can be directed towards the bottom of the trough and scraped from one side (such as the left side) to the other side (such as the right side), and then the movable door on one side (such as the right side) of the trough is opened by the second scraper, so that the feed residues are removed outside the trough. Alternatively, the movable door can be supported by a support, which is more convenient for cleaning operation. Similarly, when it is necessary to clean the residual water stains, the second scraper is directed towards the bottom of the trough and scraped from one side (such as the right side) to the other side (such as the left side), and then the movable door on the other side (such as the left side) of the trough is opened by the second scraper, so that the water stains are removed outside the trough. Alternatively, the movable door can be supported by a support, which is more convenient for cleaning operation. As shown in Figure 2
[0043] In order to avoid scratching the cow's tongue or nostrils with sharp edges, the front side edge 10 of the trough 1 is arc-shaped.
[0044] The frame body includes support legs 11. In order to be suitable for feeding of cows of different ages and different volumes, the bottom of the support leg 11 is movably connected to a height-adjustable support seat 12. Specifically, the support seat 12 includes a threaded column and a support block, the bottom end of the threaded column is fixedly connected to the support block, and the top end of the threaded column is threadedly connected to the bottom of the support leg. By rotating the support block, the height of the support leg is adjusted.
[0045] In order to avoid the feed trough from falling down in strong wind when the height of the feed trough is high, a cavity is formed in the inside of the support leg 11, and an injection port 19 is formed in the top side wall of the support leg 11 and communicates with the cavity. By injecting sand or cement into the injection port, the weight of the frame body is increased, which plays a role in preventing wind and falling. Further, in order to improve stability, the frame body further includes a cross beam 20, and the two ends of the cross beam 20 are respectively fixedly connected to the two support legs 11. In order to further increase the weight, a cavity is formed in the inside of the cross beam 20, and an injection port is formed in the top of the cross beam and communicates with the cavity. By injecting sand or cement into the injection port, the weight of the frame body is further increased.
