Abstract
Description
A type of pen for raising lactating sows Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of animal housing, and in particular to a pen for raising lactating sows. Background Technology
[0002] The main purpose of sow pens is to separate sows from each other and sows from piglets. The former can prevent fighting and allow the amount of food to be determined according to the specific growth situation, while the latter can prevent piglets from being crushed and injured by the sow while nursing.
[0003] The existing Chinese utility model patent with application number CN200820043569.6 relates to a farrowing and lactation pen for sows, including a piglet room, a partition, a feed trough, a bend, and a limiting rod, which can reduce the chance of piglets being crushed to death.
[0004] However, in actual use, the above-mentioned devices are difficult to clean up the feces produced by sows. Inadequate cleaning in the breeding pen can affect the health of piglets. At the same time, temperature regulation is required in the area where piglets are located in the pen for different seasons to reduce the impact of temperature changes on piglets. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a lactating sow pen that uses a support device to support the main body of the equipment and facilitates the cleaning of pig manure, uses a temperature control device to regulate the temperature of a local area within the support device, and uses a feeding device to facilitate feeding of sows by operators, reducing the situation where sows root for food and push it onto the feeder during the feeding process, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0006] This utility model discloses a sow rearing pen for lactating sows, comprising a support device, a temperature control device, and a feeding device. The temperature control device and the feeding device are both mounted on the support device. The support device provides support for the main body of the equipment and facilitates the cleaning of pig manure. The temperature control device regulates the temperature of local areas within the support device. The feeding device facilitates feeding of the sows by operators, reducing the likelihood of sows pushing food onto the feeders during feeding, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0007] Preferably, the support device includes a drainage trough, Z-shaped support frames, a guardrail body, a partition fence, a main load-bearing frame, and ribs. The drainage trough is pre-installed on the ground. Two sets of Z-shaped support frames are placed at the front and right sides of the drainage trough and fixed with bolts. The lower part of the guardrail body is connected to the upper surfaces of the two sets of Z-shaped support frames. A partition fence is installed in the middle of the guardrail body, with spacing between the steel pipes on the partition fence allowing piglets to pass through. A main load-bearing frame is fixed to the front and rear of the lower end of the drainage trough with bolts. The upper surface of the main load-bearing frame is flush with the upper surface of the Z-shaped support frames. Multiple sets of ribs are evenly arranged on the front and rear sides of the middle of the main load-bearing frame. The two Z-shaped support frames and the main load-bearing frame provide support for the main body of the device. The guardrail body limits the movement range of the sow and piglets. The partition fence provides one-way separation between the sow and piglets, preventing the sow from entering the piglet area while allowing the piglets to enter the sow area, reducing the possibility of the sow squeezing the piglets and improving the practicality of the device.
[0008] Preferably, the device also includes a support platform, limiting protrusions, and perforated base plates. A support platform is provided on the upper inner side of the Z-shaped support frame. The front and rear parts of the two sets of perforated base plates rest on the support platforms of the two sets of Z-shaped support frames, respectively. The upper ends of the two main load-bearing frames provide auxiliary support to the middle of the limiting protrusions. Limiting protrusions are provided on the left and right sides of the support platform, respectively. Limiting grooves are provided on the front and rear parts of the perforated base plates corresponding to the dimensions of the limiting protrusions. The perforated base plates support the sow and piglets and facilitate the washing of the main body of the perforated base plates by operators, flushing the sow's manure into the drainage trough, providing a relatively clean environment for the sow and piglets. The limiting protrusions limit the installation position of the perforated base plates, preventing them from shifting during sow movement, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0009] Preferably, the temperature control device includes a support plate, an electric heating plate, an anti-scalding rail, and fans. The support plate is located between the right side of the partition and the main body of the guardrail. The electric heating plate is installed on the lower surface of the support plate, and the anti-scalding rail is installed on the lower surface of the support plate via a bracket. The anti-scalding rail is located below the electric heating plate. A set of fans is installed on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the support plate, and the output ends of both sets of fans extend through the support plate to the lower side of the support plate. When the ambient temperature is low, the electric heating plate is turned on to heat the space under the support plate, and the anti-scalding rail prevents piglets from jumping up and getting scalded. When the ambient temperature is high, the fans are turned on to ventilate and dissipate heat in the area under the support plate, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0010] Preferably, the feeding device includes a door, an upper operating hole, a pig feed trough, a feed guide trough, a latch hole, and a pin. A door is located on the front left side of the main body of the fence. An upper operating hole is located above the door, and a pig feed trough is located below the door. A feed guide trough is connected to the front of the pig feed trough. A latch hole is located in the middle of the front face of the main body of the fence, and a pin is installed in the latch hole. The latch hole and pin lock the door to prevent the sow from leaving the pen. During feeding, the operator pours pig feed from the feed guide trough into the pig feed trough, preventing the sow from pushing feed out to the front of the main body of the fence while eating. The upper operating hole facilitates the operator's washing of the pig feed trough, improving the practicality of the device.
[0011] Preferably, it also includes curved guardrails, with a set of curved guardrails respectively installed on the upper left side of the partition and the main body of the guardrail; the upper part of the sow is shielded by the two sets of curved guardrails to prevent the sow from jumping out of the fence. Compared with the steel pipe top guardrail, the use of curved guardrails can reduce the injury to the sow when she jumps up and improve the practicality of the device.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the support device supports the main body of the equipment and facilitates the cleaning of pig manure; the temperature control device regulates the temperature of a local area inside the support device; and the feeding device facilitates the operator to feed the sow, reducing the situation where the sow pushes the food onto the feeder during the feeding process, thus improving the practicality of the device.
