Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of livestock breeding technology, specifically to a feeding neck yoke combination device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, my country's livestock and poultry farming industry has achieved a leapfrog development from traditional backyard free-range farming to intensive, large-scale, and commercialized operations. Especially in areas surrounding cities, livestock and poultry farms are showing a trend of increasing numbers and continuous expansion in scale. Their efficient resource integration capabilities and significant economic benefits have become the core driving force for the development of modern animal husbandry.

[0003] In modern livestock farming, cattle are mostly raised in intensive pen-based systems. While this method reduces the size of the pen and simplifies management, it can lead to problems such as cattle fighting over feed during feeding, resulting in feed waste and potential injuries. To address this issue, the industry commonly uses separate feeding areas within the pen fences, allowing only one cow to reach into each area to eat. The core equipment for achieving this is the cow neck yoke, which secures the cow's head and neck, fundamentally preventing fighting and ensuring an orderly and efficient feeding process.

[0004] An existing patent (publication number CN211064594U) discloses a cow neck yoke, which includes two parallel upper and lower crossbeams. A plurality of yoke units are evenly spaced along the length of the upper and lower crossbeams. Each yoke unit includes a limiting bend, a swing rod, and a stop rod arranged vertically in sequence. The lower part of the limiting bend is a straight section, and the upper part of the limiting bend is bent away from the stop rod. Both ends of the limiting bend are fixedly connected to the upper and lower crossbeams, respectively. The middle part of the swing rod is hinged to the limiting bend, and both ends of the swing rod extend towards the upper and lower crossbeams, respectively. A locking device is provided at the top of the swing rod.

[0005] The existing technical problems are as follows: 1. Currently, the cattle neck yoke has an upper crossbeam. The purpose of the upper crossbeam is to provide space for the cattle's neck movement in the area enclosed between the upper crossbeam 5 and the lower crossbeam 6. During the cattle's feeding process, the meat in the front shoulder blade area will be damaged, thus reducing meat loss during slaughter. 2. The upper crossbeam and neck yoke unit create a sense of pressure on the cattle, causing stress reactions and making it difficult for timid cattle to feed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a combined feeding neck yoke device.

[0007] This utility model is implemented by the following technical solution: a feeding neck yoke combination device, which includes a feeding trough, a base, a support column, a fixing rod, a railing, and a connector; Two vertically arranged pillars are fixed to the top end face of the base, and a horizontally arranged fixing rod is fixed between the two pillars. The outer wall of the fixing rod is provided with a plurality of connectors, which are arranged at equal intervals. The connectors are fixed with an upwardly inclined railing. The feeding trough is provided on one side of the fixed rod and is fixedly connected to the top end face of the base. The top end face of the base on the other side of the fixed rod is a stepping platform.

[0008] Furthermore, a support rod is fixed to the top of each of the two pillars, and a sunshade is fixed between the two support rods.

[0009] Furthermore, the connector includes a U-shaped clip and a base plate. The U-shaped clip is located at the bottom of the base plate and is bolted to the base plate. The railing is fixed to the top end face of the base plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the railing is inclined toward the side facing the feeding trough.

[0011] Furthermore, the outer wall of the railing is covered with a flexible protective sleeve.

[0012] The advantages of this utility model are: the area between two adjacent fences is the feeding area for cattle, and the fences also form a fence to prevent cattle from running out of the feeding area. The fences are tilted towards the feeding trough, and the purpose of the tilt is to match the cattle's shoulders without excessive restriction, reducing damage to the front shoulder muscles. At the same time, the neck yoke has an open upper design, which reduces the pressure on the cattle during the feeding process, reduces stress response, and makes it easier for them to eat.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the feeding neck yoke assembly includes a feeding trough 6, a base 1, a support column 2, a fixing rod 3, a railing 5, and a connector 4. Two vertically positioned pillars 2 are fixed to the top end face of the base 1. A horizontally positioned fixing rod 3 is fixed between the two pillars 2. Several connecting pieces 4 are provided on the outer wall of the fixing rod 3. The connecting pieces 4 are evenly spaced and fixed with upwardly inclined railings 5. The area between two adjacent railings 5 ​​is the feeding area for cattle. At the same time, the railings 5 ​​also form a fence to prevent cattle from running out of the feeding area. The railings 5 ​​are inclined towards the feeding trough 6. The purpose of the inclined railings 5 ​​is to match the shoulders of the cattle without excessive restriction, reducing damage to the front shoulder muscles. At the same time, the neck yoke has an open upper design, which reduces the pressure on the cattle during the feeding process, reduces stress response, and makes it easier for them to eat.

[0017] A feeding trough 6 is provided on one side of the fixed rod 3. The feeding trough 6 is fixedly connected to the top end face of the base 1. The top end face of the base 1 on the other side of the fixed rod 3 is a stepping platform 7. The cattle stand on the stepping platform 7, extend their necks out of the railing 5, and eat the grass in the feeding trough 6.

[0018] Support rods 8 are fixed to the top of the two pillars 2 respectively, and a sunshade 9 is fixed between the two support rods 8. The function of the sunshade 9 is to reduce the exposure of cattle to sun or rain during the feeding process.

[0019] The connector 4 includes a U-shaped clip 4.1 and a base plate 4.2. The bottom of the base plate 4.2 is provided with a U-shaped clip 4.1, which is bolted to the base plate 4.2. A railing 5 is fixed to the top end face of the base plate 4.2. The design of the U-shaped clip 4.1 makes it easy to adjust the spacing between the railings 5 ​​according to the size of the cattle, and also makes it easy to replace the railings 5.

[0020] The outer wall of the railing 5 is covered with a flexible sheath 10, which reduces the impact on the cattle.

[0021] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
