Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, and in particular to a sick animal isolation cage. Background Technology

[0002] Sick animals refer to livestock and poultry suffering from diseases. When these animals are healthy and interact with external pathogenic factors, they exhibit a complex process of damage and resistance. When pathogenic factors act on the animals, they can cause disruptions to their life activities, reduced adaptability, decreased production performance, and even death. Therefore, in the treatment of sick animals, timely isolation and treatment are necessary to prevent the spread of the disease and the infection of a large number of livestock. Thus, in animal husbandry and veterinary treatment, isolation cages are used to isolate sick animals.

[0003] Most existing isolation cages for sick animals are simple structures that do not allow for easy cleaning of animal excrement, which is detrimental to the recovery of sick animals. Furthermore, subsequent cleaning requires manual cleaning, rinsing, and disinfection by staff, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also inefficient and lacks overall convenience.
