Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding technology, specifically to a sheepfold environmental control device. Background Technology
[0002] Sheep sheds are specially designed for raising sheep. They are typically constructed using brick and wood, steel structures, or modern environmentally friendly materials, and feature designs such as slatted floors or solid floors to adapt to different climate requirements. Their core functions include controlling temperature, humidity, ventilation, and lighting through a digital platform to ensure the shed is dry and clean; and clearly defined zones including a feeding area, exercise area, farrowing pen, and isolation area for sick sheep.
[0003] Existing sheep pens have slatted floors on their support structure, allowing feces and other waste to fall through the gaps. While the feces don't affect the pen's environment, urine is also collected in the manure channels at the bottom of the slatted floors, leading to the formation of fecal water that requires frequent and regular cleaning. Otherwise, the channels can corrode and produce biogas, negatively impacting the sheep pen environment. To address these issues, this invention provides a sheep pen environmental control device. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a sheep pen environmental control device. It solves the problem that existing sheep pens have slatted floors on their support structure, allowing feces and other debris to fall through the gaps. While the feces don't affect the pen's environment, urine is also collected in the manure channels at the bottom of the slatted floors, leading to the formation of fecal water that requires frequent and long-term cleaning and maintenance. Otherwise, the manure channel walls will corrode, generating biogas that negatively impacts the sheep pen environment.
