Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pig farming equipment, specifically a mobile feed cart for pig farming. Background Technology

[0002] Feeding is a crucial and frequent task in pig farming. Currently, the commonly used feeding methods in pig farms have many inconveniences. Traditional feed trucks are mostly fixed or have poor mobility. Since pig farms are usually large and pig houses are scattered, feed trucks cannot easily move between different farming areas, resulting in significant manpower and time consumption for feeding.

[0003] Existing technology, such as patent application number CN202110845960.8, discloses an automatic feed cart for livestock farming, relating to the field of automatic feed cart technology. It includes a feed cart body, a base, wheels, and a handle. The base is fixedly connected to the bottom of the feed cart body, and wheels are fixedly installed on the bottom of the base. A handle is fixedly connected to one side of the feed cart body, and a stirring mechanism is provided on one side of the internal cavity of the feed cart body. This invention enables rapid and uniform mixing and cutting of feed, facilitating animal feeding and digestion, and improving the efficiency of the feed cart. However, in use, most feed carts have fixed guide plates, making it impossible to flexibly adjust the guide angle and length according to the location of different pigsties or feed troughs. When feeding to different feed troughs, it is often necessary to manually move the feed or adjust the overall position of the feed cart, which is cumbersome, increases the labor intensity of workers, and reduces feeding efficiency.

[0004] In view of this, we propose a mobile feed truck for pig farming. Utility Model Content
