Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of breeding equipment, and in particular relates to a new type of breeding cage for breeding chickens. Background Technology

[0002] With the scaling up of breeding, rising labor costs, and increasing demands for animal welfare, traditional artificial insemination breeding is gradually being replaced by natural mating cage breeding. Natural mating cage breeding involves keeping one rooster and about ten (usually eight to ten) hens in the same cage to obtain eggs through natural mating.

[0003] The use of this cage not only reduces the need for artificial insemination personnel, but also reduces contact between personnel and chickens, lowering the risk of cross-infection of diseases (such as avian influenza and Newcastle disease), thus meeting the "biosecurity" requirements of large-scale farming. Furthermore, the reduced stress on breeding chickens improves the stability of fertilization rates.

[0004] In the current design of mating cages, to ensure privacy during mating, partitions are often installed in the cage. However, in the current design, the partitions are only designed near the two sides of the cage, and in practice, they only provide privacy in one direction. Therefore, how to provide a more private mating space while minimizing the space occupied by the cage is a problem that needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] This invention addresses the technical problem of improving the privacy of existing mating cages by proposing a novel breeding cage for breeding chickens that is reasonably designed, simple in structure, easy to process, and can effectively improve mating privacy.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides a novel breeding cage for chickens, including a cage frame and a wire mesh cage arranged at intervals on the cage frame. The wire mesh cage is provided with a privacy chamber, which is arranged at intervals on both sides of the wire mesh cage. The privacy chamber is L-shaped and includes a mating chamber and a channel chamber. The mating chamber is connected to the channel chamber, and the end of the mating chamber away from the channel chamber is located near the side mesh of the wire mesh cage. A baffle is provided at the top of the channel chamber, and the baffle is inclined downward from the direction of the mating chamber and the channel chamber.

[0007] Preferably, one end of the wire mesh cage is also provided with an isolation mesh plate, the top of which is axially connected to the wire mesh cage, and the isolation mesh plate can be flipped and fixed to the top of the wire mesh cage.

[0008] Preferably, the isolation mesh panel can be flipped and fixed to the top of the mesh cage by a buckle. The buckle is generally rectangular in shape and has a through hole for fitting onto the isolation mesh panel. The end of the buckle away from the through hole has a V-shaped notch. The top of the V-shaped notch has a dividing slot. The end of the dividing slot away from the V-shaped notch has a mesh cage locking hole. The buckle is made of plastic.

[0009] Preferably, auxiliary slots are provided on both sides of the latch.

[0010] Preferably, a crank handle is provided at one end of the isolation mesh panel, the crank handle is located near the top of the isolation mesh panel, and the crank handle extends out of the mesh cage.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This utility model provides a novel breeding cage for breeding chickens. By replacing the existing partition with a privacy chamber, the mating cavity is effectively utilized to achieve privacy during mating. The baffle in the passage cavity restricts the entry of other hens, effectively ensuring the privacy of the mating process. At the same time, the side mesh of the mating cavity near the wire mesh cage ensures sufficient ventilation and light in the mating cavity, ensuring environmental suitability and maintaining physiological activity.

[0018] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0019] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.

[0020] Example 1, as Figures 1-3 As shown, this embodiment aims to provide a better privacy environment for chicken mating. Therefore, the novel breeding cage provided in this embodiment includes a cage frame 1 and wire mesh cages 2 spaced vertically on the cage frame 1. It should be noted that in this embodiment... Figure 1 The accompanying drawings are only used to illustrate the positional relationship between cage frame 1 and wire mesh cage 2. Because the entire wire mesh cage 2 is composed of uniformly spaced grid panels, it results in numerous lines, making it difficult to effectively demonstrate the technical solution provided in this embodiment. Therefore, to more effectively illustrate the technical solution of this embodiment, the accompanying drawings... Figure 2 In this process, the original metal ribbed grid panel is replaced with a plate-like structure to reduce lines; however, the actual product is not a plate-like structure.

[0021] Furthermore, the automatic feeding system and manure conveyor belt that should be present in this cage are not shown in the accompanying drawings because they relate to the improved solution of this embodiment.

[0022] To achieve the purpose of private mating, in this embodiment, a privacy chamber 3 is set inside the net cage 2. The privacy chambers 3 are arranged alternately on both sides of the net cage 2. The number of privacy chambers 3 is mainly determined by the size of the net cage 2. The common size is 2412mm×1250mm×603-703mm, which can raise 45 hens and 5 roosters (male-to-female ratio 1:9). Therefore, about 5 to 10 privacy chambers 3 can be set up, that is, 1 to 2 chambers are set up in one unit. Since the allocation is basically based on 1 rooster and 9 hens, the net cage 2 does not completely separate these 50 chickens. Instead, a low grid of 10cm to 20cm is used to achieve weak separation.

[0023] Considering that the privacy chamber 3 needs to meet the requirements of lighting and ventilation in order to ensure the fertilization rate, in this embodiment, the privacy chamber 3 is arranged in an L-shape. The privacy chamber 3 includes a mating cavity 31 and a channel cavity 32. Simply put, the longer one is the mating cavity 31 and the shorter one is the channel cavity 32. The mating cavity 31 and the channel cavity 32 are connected and arranged in a manner, with the end of the mating cavity 31 away from the channel cavity 32 being close to the side net of the cage 2. Since the side net is a grid mesh, it is not only close to the feeding system, but also allows light and ventilation.

[0024] To prevent other hens from entering, in this embodiment, a baffle 321 is provided at the top of the passage cavity 32, and the baffle 321 is inclined downward from the mating cavity 31 towards the passage cavity 32. Thus, when a hen and a rooster are mating, other hens entering must be in a crouching position and cannot move, preventing them from entering the privacy chamber 3 during mating. Additionally, it should be noted that the width of the mating cavity 31 is greater than that of the passage cavity 32 to facilitate turning and provide more free space. However, its width is not sufficient for two hens to crouch side-by-side.

[0025] Considering the need for rooster rest and management, in this embodiment, an isolation mesh plate 21 is also provided at one end of the wire mesh cage 2. The isolation mesh plate 21 is also a grid mesh plate, and it is axially connected to the top of the wire mesh cage 2. In this embodiment, several inverted U-shaped hooks are provided on the top of the isolation mesh plate 21, which are hung on the top plate of the wire mesh cage 2 to achieve the axial connection. Considering that the rooster does not need constant rest, in this embodiment, the isolation mesh plate 21 can be flipped and fixed to the top of the wire mesh cage 2. That is, when rest is needed, the isolation mesh plate is flipped down, and the bottom of the isolation mesh plate 21 contacts the highest point of the bottom of the wire mesh cage 2, forming an interference fit to ensure the fixation of the isolation mesh plate 21 (the grid mesh has a certain degree of elasticity).

[0026] To facilitate flipping and fixing, in this embodiment, the isolation mesh plate 21 can be flipped and fixed to the top of the mesh cage 2 by the locking buckle 4. Specifically, the locking buckle 4 is generally rectangular and has through holes 41 for fitting onto the isolation mesh plate 21, that is, fitting onto the horizontal steel bar of the isolation mesh plate 21. To ensure stability, the locking buckles 4 are spaced apart on the isolation mesh plate 21.

[0027] To facilitate the locking buckle 4 securing the reinforcing bars of the wire mesh cage 2, a V-shaped notch 42 is provided at the end of the locking buckle 4 away from the through hole 41. A dividing slot 43 is provided at the top of the V-shaped notch 42, dividing the part of the locking buckle 4 into left and right sections. At the same time, a wire mesh cage locking hole 44 is provided at the end of the dividing slot 43 away from the V-shaped notch 42. The locking buckle 4 is made of plastic. In this way, the locking buckle 4 itself has a certain degree of elasticity and restoring ability. Thus, when the isolation mesh plate 21 is flipped, the inertia of the flipping can be used to open the dividing slot 43, thereby allowing the wire mesh cage locking hole 44 to fit onto it, forming a locking and fixing mechanism.

[0028] Considering that the reinforcing bars of the wire mesh cage 2 need to be stretched open through the dividing slots 43, auxiliary slots 45 are provided on both sides of the locking buckle 4 to facilitate stretching.

[0029] To facilitate the rotation of the isolation mesh panel 21, a crank handle 211 is provided at one end of the isolation mesh panel 21. The crank handle 211 is positioned near the top of the isolation mesh panel 21 and extends out of the mesh cage 2. This crank handle 211 allows workers to easily apply force, thereby ensuring the locking effect. Of course, crank handles 211 can also be provided at both ends of the isolation mesh panel 21.

[0030] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
