Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically a novel portable waterer for pigs. Background Technology
[0002] As the world's largest pig producer, my country's pig farming is characterized by centralized and large-scale operations. In intensive farming, providing clean and sufficient drinking water is crucial. However, current pig farming systems primarily use water trays, buckets, or fixed waterers. Traditional systems are prone to splashing water or being knocked over by the pigs, and are easily contaminated by feces and urine. Splashed water pollutes the environment, leading to excessive dampness in the pens, bacterial growth, and ultimately reduced productivity. Fixed waterers, due to their fixed location, pose a risk of injury to pigs, especially since they often defecate in corners during their three-point living environment. Furthermore, the interconnected pipes in most fixed waterers make it difficult to accurately monitor water intake and detect changes in water consumption caused by heat stress or other diseases. Fixed waterers also suffer from high cost, difficult maintenance, difficulty in individual installation, and the risk of bacterial growth due to uncleaned pipes. Therefore, we need to improve existing watering systems. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a novel portable waterer for pigs, which has the advantages of improving drinking water safety for pigs, reducing drinking water pollution, improving the feeding environment, reducing the cost of building pigpens, and being easy to maintain. It can effectively prevent drinking water from being contaminated by feces, urine, and other debris, and solves the problems of poor water quality, easy pollution, and easy tipping of water basins in traditional watering devices during the breeding process.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: A novel portable waterer for pigs, comprising a water storage tank, a duckbill-type waterer, a support rod, a counterweight base, a water inlet cap, and a water tank support platform; the water storage tank is a cylindrical structure used to store drinking water, and the top of the water storage tank has a support hole through which the support rod can pass. The water storage tank is fixed by the water tank support platform and the support rod, and the bottom of the support rod passes through a fixing hole in the center of the counterweight base and is fixedly connected to the counterweight base; the water storage tank is placed on the water tank support platform, with the center of the water storage tank covering the support hole, and the duckbill-type waterer is fixed to the bottom of the water storage tank at a downward tilt of 45°. The water inlet cap is placed on the circular water inlet at the top of the water storage tank.
[0005] The present invention relates to a portable waterer for pigs, wherein the bottom of the water storage tank can be placed on a water tank support platform, and the support hole in the middle covers the upper part of the support rod to provide support for the water storage tank.
[0006] This utility model relates to a portable waterer for pigs, wherein the area of the counterweight base is larger than the bottom area of the water storage tank, and it is filled with metal, cement, sand and gravel, etc. The fixing hole in the center is fixedly connected to the lower part of the support rod, which serves to fix and support the water storage tank, making it convenient for pigs to drink water.
[0007] This utility model discloses a portable waterer for pigs. The water storage tank is cylindrical, covering the upper half of the support rod. Four downward-sloping (45°) duckbill-type drinkers are located around the bottom of the tank, facilitating water flow while preventing residual drinking water from breeding bacteria. The duckbill-type drinkers effectively prevent contamination of the drinking water, and the regular arrangement of the four drinkers allows multiple pigs to drink simultaneously. The water inlet cap prevents feed from being contaminated by rainwater, fallen leaves, dust, and other debris.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0009] 1. This utility model discloses a portable pig waterer using a duckbill-type drinker. Traditional pig farming often uses water troughs for watering, while duckbill-type drinkers are more commonly used in large-scale farms due to their advantages of water conservation, leak-proof design, and low risk of contamination. However, because they are typically fixed to the water line, their application is limited in free-range and small-scale farms. This utility model applies the duckbill-type drinker to various farming environments, overcoming the shortcomings of traditional watering devices.
[0010] 2. This utility model effectively prevents water from being polluted by feces and improves the breeding environment by changing the structure of traditional water feeding devices where the water source is exposed to the outside.
[0011] 3. This invention eliminates the risk of tipping over or leaking. The ideal humidity for pig farming is 50%-80%, and this invention is significant in maintaining stable humidity levels in the farming environment. It helps maintain hygiene and improves production performance.
[0012] 4. This utility model helps farmers detect disease risks in pig herds early by monitoring changes in water consumption. The ideal temperature for pig farming is 15-22℃. In some areas, hot summers and direct sunlight increase the incidence of sunstroke and heat exhaustion, which are significant diseases affecting pig production performance. In the early stages of these diseases, water consumption increases significantly. Before or in the early stages of disease, clinical symptoms are not obvious. This utility model allows for more accurate detection of changes in water consumption, enabling early disease detection, reducing farming costs, and improving production performance. It achieves a combination of prevention and control, with prevention being more important than treatment.
[0013] 5. This utility model has the characteristics of simple replacement, easy cleaning, easy installation, low cost, and easy maintenance, and can be widely used in small and medium-sized farms and breeding cooperatives. Attached Figure Description
