Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically relating to an anti-slip protective hoof cover for cattle kept in enclosures. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the number and scale of dairy and beef cattle farming in my country are continuously expanding, making cattle farming a pillar industry of the country's animal husbandry. In my country, dairy and beef cattle are mostly raised in intensive, centralized farms. On these farms, cattle manure is typically cleaned periodically, but the inability to remove it promptly leads to damp ground conditions. Cattle walking on these damp, slippery surfaces are prone to slipping and injury, and are also susceptible to hoof diseases such as hoof deformities, ulcers, and cracks, causing pain and lameness, resulting in economic losses for farms and farmers.

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, existing technologies often employ hoof covers to protect the hooves of cattle. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN205546926U discloses a breathable hoof protector. However, the sole in this patent is only fixed to the hoof by a fixing strip on the sole, which is analogous to human sandals. This type of hoof cover has poor sealing, allowing mud and water from the farm to still seep between the hoof and the sole, affecting the health of the hooves.

[0004] Therefore, designing a hoof cover that is waterproof, slip-resistant, breathable, and comfortable to wear is a problem that must be solved in the cattle industry. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a comfortable and breathable anti-slip protective hoof cover for penned cattle.

[0006] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0007] A type of anti-slip protective hoof cover for penned cattle comprises a hoof cover surface, a hoof cover bottom, and a hoof cover sleeve. The hoof cover bottom is elliptical and has a thickness of 6-12mm. The hoof cover surface is located at the upper front end of the hoof cover bottom and forms a space around the cow's hoof tip with the hoof cover bottom. The hoof cover sleeve is located at the upper rear end of the hoof cover bottom and communicates with the space around the cow's hoof tip. The height of the hoof cover sleeve is 15-25cm.

[0008] The hoof sleeve has a vertical joint seam running from top to bottom; 2-5 locking pins are provided on one side of the hoof sleeve and 2-5 straps corresponding to the locking pins are provided on the other side of the joint seam.

[0009] The shape of the snap pin is "day" shaped. The middle shaft on the snap pin is arranged on the hoof sleeve, and a rotatable bolt is also provided in the middle of the middle shaft. There are 3-7 card holes on the strap. One end of the strap is fixed on the hoof sleeve, and the other end passes through the snap pin and is tightened through the cooperation of the bolt and the card hole. The distance between adjacent two card holes on each strap is 5-10 mm.

[0010] On the bottom surface of the hoof sleeve bottom, there are also several wavy anti-slip strips.

[0011] A buffer layer is also covered on the upper surface of the hoof sleeve bottom. The thickness of the buffer layer is 1-3 mm. Side anti-slip patterns are also provided on the outer periphery of the buffer layer and the hoof sleeve bottom.

[0012] Vent holes are also opened on the hoof sleeve surface. The shape of the vent holes is oval.

[0013] The hoof sleeve surface, hoof sleeve bottom, hoof sleeve barrel and buffer layer are all made of waste tires. Among them, the hoof sleeve surface, hoof sleeve bottom and hoof sleeve barrel are all made of the outer tire part of waste tires, and the buffer layer is made of relatively soft waste inner tubes.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] Due to the setting of the hoof sleeve barrel, after wearing the hoof sleeve of the utility model, the muddy water in the breeding farm will not enter between the cow hoof and the hoof sleeve bottom, thus reducing the incidence of diseases such as deformed hooves, hoof bottom ulcers and hoof cracks.

[0016] Due to the setting of the buffer layer, after the cow wears the hoof sleeve of the utility model, the bottom of the cow hoof is in a soft environment, reducing the direct contact between the cow hoof and the hoof sleeve bottom, thus avoiding the damage to the cow hoof caused by friction.

[0017] The utility model also sets anti-slip strips and side anti-slip patterns to avoid the risk of falling when the cow walks due to the slippery ground.

[0018] The utility model ensures that the cow hoof in the hoof sleeve remains dry by opening vent holes on the hoof sleeve surface, further reducing the occurrence of diseases.

[0019] Through the cooperation of the snap pin, strap and card hole, the utility model can adjust the tightening degree according to the thickness of different positions of the cow leg. On the one hand, it ensures that the hoof sleeve will not fall off, and on the other hand, it eliminates the discomfort caused by tying too tightly.

[0020] The hoof sleeve protected by the utility model is extremely convenient to wear and disassemble, greatly reducing the working time consumption; because it is made of waste tires, the hoof sleeve of the utility model has a low cost and a high recycling rate, effectively saving the breeding cost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0025] The following further describes the present utility model in conjunction with the drawings and embodiments, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited by the embodiments. Embodiment 1

[0026] A non-slip protection hoof sleeve for captive cattle is composed of a hoof sleeve surface, a hoof sleeve bottom and a hoof sleeve barrel. The hoof sleeve bottom is oval and has a thickness of 6 mm; the hoof sleeve surface is arranged on the upper part of the front end of the hoof sleeve bottom and forms a space surrounding the cattle hoof tip with the hoof sleeve bottom; the hoof sleeve barrel is arranged on the upper part of the rear end of the hoof sleeve bottom and is connected to the space of the cattle hoof tip. The height of the hoof sleeve barrel is 15 cm. A vertical joint seam is opened on the hoof sleeve barrel from top to bottom; there are 2 retaining pins on one side of the joint seam, and 2 straps corresponding to the retaining pins one by one are arranged on the other side of the joint seam. The retaining pin is in the shape of a "day", and the intermediate shaft on the retaining pin is arranged on the hoof sleeve barrel, and a rotatable pin is further arranged in the middle of the intermediate shaft; there are 3 retaining holes on the strap, one end of the strap is fixed on the hoof sleeve barrel, and the other end passes through the retaining pin and is tightened through the cooperation of the pin and the retaining hole. The distance between adjacent two retaining holes on each strap is 10 mm. There are several wavy anti-slip strips on the bottom surface of the hoof sleeve bottom. A buffer layer is further covered on the upper surface of the hoof sleeve bottom, and the thickness of the buffer layer is 1 mm. Side anti-slip patterns are also arranged on the outer periphery of the buffer layer and the hoof sleeve bottom. The hoof sleeve surface is also provided with breathable holes, and the breathable holes are oval in shape. The hoof sleeve surface, the hoof sleeve bottom, the hoof sleeve barrel and the buffer layer are all made of waste tires. Among them, the hoof sleeve surface, the hoof sleeve bottom and the hoof sleeve barrel are all made of the outer tire part of waste tires, and the buffer layer is made of relatively soft waste inner tires.

[0027] When putting it on, remove the pin from the locking hole, open the joint, insert the cow's hoof from the hoof sleeve into the space formed between the hoof sleeve surface and the bottom of the hoof sleeve, which surrounds the cow's hoof tip, and then insert the strap into the locking pin. After wrapping it tightly on the cow's leg, the locking pin and the locking hole are used to complete the fastening.

[0028] After being fitted with hoof sleeves, the mud and water from the farm prevented from entering between the hooves and the bottom of the sleeves, thus reducing the incidence of diseases such as deformed hooves, hoof ulcers, and hoof cracks. The cushioning layer keeps the bottom of the hoof in a soft environment, minimizing direct contact between the hoof and the sleeve bottom, preventing injury from friction.
