Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry and production technology, and in particular to a sheep cage component and a sheep cage device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, sheep farming in my country typically employs a pen-raising model. While this model facilitates management and control, it also presents several problems. First, hygiene is difficult to manage under this model; accumulated manure and urine in the sheepfold easily breed bacteria, affecting the health of the flock. Second, pen-raising requires significant manpower for feeding, which is inconvenient, especially on large-scale sheep farms, where manual feeding is inefficient and labor-intensive. Furthermore, pen-raising does not fully utilize farm space, resulting in low space utilization. During the rearing process, the large amounts of manure and urine produced by sheep can be used as fertilizer. Proper manure treatment can not only reduce pollution on farms but also improve their economic efficiency.

[0003] However, while existing sheep cage designs have solved some problems to a certain extent, they still have shortcomings. For example, Chinese patent CN210641872U discloses an ecological sheep cage that connects the bottom of the cage to a manure pit via a mesh floor, facilitating manure collection and treatment. Additionally, a feed trough fixed to the wall on one side of the cage allows for convenient feeding of the sheep using a feed cart. Furthermore, the cage is equipped with a bidirectional motor and lead screw, enabling automated cleaning and ensuring the cage remains clean and hygienic. Despite these advantages, the sheep cage still cannot effectively solve the problem of space utilization in livestock farms.

[0004] Therefore, although existing ecological sheep cages have made some progress in terms of hygiene management, feeding convenience and manure treatment, there is still room for further optimization in terms of space utilization. Utility Model Content
