Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of egg-laying hen breeding technology, and in particular to a mobile welfare-oriented egg-laying hen breeding system. Background Technology

[0002] As consumers become increasingly concerned about food safety, intensive egg-laying hen farming is gradually shifting from traditional cage-raising to cage-free farming (such as free-range farming in forests). However, in my country's egg-laying hen industry, which is dominated by small-scale farmers, traditional free-range farming still holds a significant position. Although this type of free-range farming improves the activity space and behavioral freedom of egg-laying hens to some extent, its inherent defects limit farming efficiency and environmental sustainability, mainly in the following aspects: ① Low automation and high labor intensity. Traditional free-range farming uses relatively little automated equipment, and farming processes such as feed feeding, water management, and egg collection rely on manual operation, making it difficult to achieve standardized and refined management, resulting in low farming efficiency. ② Poor environmental controllability and high disease risk. Traditional free-range farming facilities are simple, and the control of environmental parameters such as temperature, relative humidity, and carbon dioxide concentration inside the shed is poor. Frequent environmental stress in the flock leads to decreased egg production and high disease incidence, resulting in low production efficiency. ③ Significant manure pollution problems and insufficient ecological sustainability. In traditional free-range farming, chickens come into direct contact with manure, resulting in low efficiency in manure treatment and direct discharge of manure into the farm, leading to severe pollution of the soil and air, which hinders the sustainable development of the industry.

[0003] While existing intensive facility-based farming has certain advantages in automated management, environmental control, and manure collection and treatment, compared to traditional free-range farming, facility-based chicken houses have limited space for movement, resulting in lower flock welfare and impacting production performance and egg quality. Furthermore, due to their long construction cycles and high costs, intensive chicken houses cannot be relocated to adapt to environmental changes and farming needs, leading to problems such as fixed site conditions and difficulties in relocation. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a mobile welfare-oriented egg-laying hen farming system, which solves the problems of low automation in existing free-range egg-laying hen farming models and high costs in intensive facility farming.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A mobile welfare-oriented egg-laying hen farming system includes a breeding room with three layers of perches inside. The top perch is equipped with an egg-laying box; the middle and bottom perches are equipped with feed lines and water lines; and a manure treatment unit is installed at the bottom of the breeding room.

[0007] In this solution, a three-tiered perch structure is adopted, allowing laying hens to move freely within the three tiers, providing ample space for their activity and achieving efficient space utilization. The top perch is equipped with a laying box, providing a platform for laying eggs. The middle and bottom perches are equipped with water and feed lines, providing feeding platforms for the laying hens. The manure excreted by the laying hens falls into the manure treatment unit at the bottom for processing, resulting in a high degree of automation.

[0008] Furthermore, the bottom net of the egg-laying box is inclined, and an egg-collecting conveyor belt is installed at the bottom of the egg-laying box; inclined bottom nets are installed on the perches in the middle layer and the perches in the bottom layer, and an intermediate conveyor belt is installed at the bottom of the inclined bottom net.

[0009] In this design, eggs slide onto the egg collection conveyor belt, greatly improving egg collection efficiency; the inclined bottom net ensures that eggs automatically roll onto the middle conveyor belt, thus achieving efficient collection of eggs outside the nest.

[0010] Furthermore, the material line includes a batching bin, which is connected to two storage bins via two conveying pipes. The two storage bins are respectively located at the ends of the perching racks in the middle layer and the bottom layer. Each storage bin is equipped with a chain auger feeding mechanism at its outlet. The storage bin is connected to several material troughs distributed on the perching racks in the middle layer and the bottom layer via the chain auger feeding mechanism.

[0011] In this scheme, the feed in the feed mixing bin is transported to the indoor storage bin via a conveying pipeline, and then the feed is transported to each feed trough through a chain auger feeding structure so that the laying hens can eat it.

[0012] Furthermore, the water line includes a water supply pipeline. One end of the water supply pipeline is connected to a water source, and the other end of the water supply pipeline passes through a slightly acidic electrolyzed water generator and a filter in sequence before splitting into two paths. One path is connected to several nipple drinkers distributed on the perches in the middle layer; the other path is connected to several nipple drinkers distributed on the perches in the bottom layer.

[0013] In this scheme, the water source is transported through the water supply pipeline to the filter and the slightly acidic electrolyzed water generator for purification. After purification, it is delivered to the nipple drinkers in the breeding room, where chickens can drink freely.

[0014] Furthermore, the manure treatment components include a fermentation bed and a slatted floor; the slatted floor is laid at the bottom of the breeding room, and the fermentation bed is set underneath the slatted floor; a manure cleaning door is set at the back of the breeding room; and a manure cleaning conveyor belt is set at the manure outlet of the manure cleaning door.

[0015] In this solution, the manure removal process adopts a fermentation bed mode. Chicken manure falls into the fermentation bed through the slatted floor for fermentation. When manure removal is needed, the manure removal door at the back of the breeding room is opened, and the manure is transferred to the manure removal conveyor belt for transport, making the manure removal process in the chicken house convenient and efficient.

[0016] Furthermore, ventilation doors are installed at both ends of the breeding room. One of the ventilation doors has a wet curtain hanging on top, and the other ventilation door has a ventilation fan installed inside.

[0017] In this solution, ventilation fans are used to ventilate the breeding room to ensure fresh indoor air; at the same time, wet curtains are designed to change the humidity of the airflow during ventilation, ensuring a stable and controllable indoor environment.

[0018] Furthermore, a gas sensor is installed inside the breeding room, and the gas sensor is electrically connected to the Internet of Things control system.

[0019] Furthermore, ladders are provided between the top perch, the middle perch, and the bottom perch.

[0020] In this design, ladders are installed between the layers to allow laying hens to move freely between the three roosting levels.

[0021] Furthermore, the mobile welfare-oriented egg-laying hen farming system also includes an exercise yard, with the breeding room located within the exercise yard; the front of the breeding room is equipped with an automatic door and an entrance door, and the entrance door of the automatic door is equipped with an entrance and exit ladder.

[0022] In this solution, the design of automatic door opening and closing and entrance / exit ladders allows laying hens to move around in the outdoor exercise area, increasing their activity space and thus ensuring their health.

[0023] Furthermore, wheels are installed at the bottom of the breeding chamber, and a traction device is connected to the side of the breeding chamber; the traction device is used to drive the breeding chamber to move.

[0024] In this solution, the mobility of the breeding room is achieved by using a traction device and wheels, which solves the problems of difficult site conversion in traditional breeding models.

[0025] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0026] The mobile welfare-oriented egg-laying hen farming system provided by this utility model features a three-tiered perch design inside the breeding chamber, achieving efficient utilization of the egg-laying hen breeding space through scientific stratification. The lower and middle perches serve as feeding platforms for the hens, equipped with automated feed and water lines; the upper tier is the egg-laying and roosting area for the hens, equipped with egg-laying boxes, where laid eggs slide down onto an egg-collecting conveyor belt, greatly improving egg collection efficiency.

[0027] The breeding room is equipped with evaporative cooling pads and ventilation fans on both sides. These devices regulate the air environment inside the breeding room, ensuring a stable and controllable environment. Simultaneously, gas sensors detect the gas concentration inside the breeding room, enabling real-time monitoring of air quality.

[0028] A fermentation bed is installed at the bottom of the breeding room. Chicken manure automatically falls into the fermentation bed below the slatted floor, achieving physical isolation between the chickens and the manure and effectively blocking the spread of pathogenic microorganisms. The fermentation bed is composed of a mixture of rice husks and sawdust, which can convert chicken manure into stable organic fertilizer, avoiding manual manure removal.

[0029] The breeding room is equipped with wheels at the bottom, which can be moved by tractors, trucks or other towing equipment. This allows for flexible adjustment of the breeding room's location according to seasonal and disease prevention changes, enabling land rotation and improving the applicability and sustainability of the farm.
