Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of breeding equipment technology, and in particular relates to a piglet feeding trough. Background Technology

[0002] In modern pig farming, weaning is a crucial stage that has a profound impact on the health, immunity, and growth of piglets. With advancements in breeding technology, ultra-early weaning (3-14 days old) has become a new trend. Ultra-early weaning can shorten the sow's lactation period, increase the number of piglets born per year, and improve production efficiency. However, because the digestive and immune systems of piglets are not fully developed at ultra-early weaning, the selection of feed and feeding methods become particularly important.

[0003] As the health of sows improves, the average number of live piglets per litter also gradually increases. Since the number of effective teats of a sow is fixed, her ability to care for piglets is limited. Poor piglets that exceed the number of effective teats are prone to exhaustion and being crushed to death.

[0004] In light of this, large-scale enterprises and farmers are feeding high-producing piglets with liquid milk powder and keeping them in separate pens to ensure their normal physiological needs are met. Currently, these enterprises mainly rely on feeding equipment such as discs and long troughs for supplementation. However, this equipment is cumbersome and has limited functionality. Piglets are prone to stepping into the feed troughs, resulting in wasted liquid feed and compromising its hygiene.

[0005] Therefore, how to develop and design a new two-in-one piglet feeding trough that can be used for feeding piglets for starter feeding and for feeding piglets with creep feed has become a key research topic in the existing technology field. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a piglet feeding trough, which solves the above problems.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a piglet feeding trough, comprising:

[0008] The material tray, wherein a hopper for shortening the depth of the material tray and storing the starter material is installed inside the material tray;

[0009] A silo, on which storage bottles are installed;

[0010] A storage bottle for storing liquid material, the outlet of the storage bottle facing the tray and for feeding material to the tray;

[0011] And a fastener, the fastener being used to install the tray into a designated position.

[0012] Compared with existing technologies, this application offers the following advantages: The feed hopper design shortens the feed tray depth, preventing pigs from jumping into the feed tray to eat, thus solving the problems of feed waste and contamination. Simultaneously, by removing the storage bottle from the feed hopper, the hopper can be used to store creep feed, achieving creep feed feeding—a two-in-one feeding method. Therefore, based on existing piglet feeding troughs, this application optimizes the trough structure to prevent piglets from stepping into the feed trough, ensuring feed freshness and hygiene, and reducing feed waste.

[0013] Furthermore, the storage bottle is detachably mounted on the hopper via a fixed bracket.

[0014] Furthermore, the hopper is detachably mounted on the tray.

[0015] Furthermore, the fixed bracket is provided with a discharge port, one end of which is detachably connected to the outlet of the storage bottle, and the other end is close to the bottom of the material tray. The discharge port is used to control the liquid level in the material tray.

[0016] Furthermore, the distance between the discharge port and the bottom of the tray is adjustable, thereby adjusting the height of the liquid level in the tray.

[0017] Furthermore, the fixing member is a spring hook fixing member.

[0018] Furthermore, the spring hook fastener passes through the material tray and detachably fixes the material tray to the manure leakage plate.

[0019] Furthermore, the spring hook fixing component includes a handle, a sleeve, a rod hook, a spring, and a washer. One end of the rod hook is connected to the handle, and the other end passes through the sleeve, the spring, and the washer in sequence and is inserted into the gap of the manure leakage board. The diameter of the sleeve and the washer is larger than the diameter of the spring, and the diameter of the washer is larger than the width of the gap.

[0020] Furthermore, the feed tray is provided with multiple partitions, and the partitions, the feed bin, and the feed tray constitute multiple feeding positions for piglets to eat.

[0021] Furthermore, the tray has a semi-circular structure. Attached Figure Description

[0027] 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.

[0028] like Figure 1-2 As shown, this utility model discloses a piglet feeding trough, comprising:

[0029] Material tray 1, and a hopper 2 is installed inside the material tray 1 to shorten the depth of the material tray 1 and to store the starter material;

[0030] Material bin 2, with storage bottle 3 installed on it;

[0031] Storage bottle 3 is used to store liquid material. The outlet of storage bottle 3 faces the material tray 1 and is used to supply material to the material tray 1.

[0032] And fastener 4, which is used to install tray 1 into the designated position.

[0033] Compared with existing technologies, this application has the following advantages: The design of the feed hopper 2 shortens the depth of the feed tray 1, preventing pigs from jumping into the feed tray 1 to eat, thus solving the problems of feed waste and contamination. Simultaneously, by removing the storage bottle 3 from the feed hopper 2, the feed hopper 2 can be used to store creep feed, thereby achieving creep feed feeding, i.e., realizing a two-in-one feeding system. Therefore, based on existing piglet feeding troughs, this application optimizes the trough structure to prevent piglets from stepping into the trough, ensuring feed freshness and hygiene, and reducing feed waste.

[0034] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the feed storage bottle 3 is detachably installed on the feed hopper 2 via a fixing bracket 5, facilitating replacement after use. When the feed storage bottle 3 is installed on the feed hopper 2, it supplies liquid feed; when the feed storage bottle 3 is removed from the feed hopper 2, it supplies creep feed. Because of the presence of the feed hopper 2, creep feed in the feed hopper 2 will only enter the feeding area of ​​the feed hopper 1 through the gap between the feed hopper 2 and the feed hopper 1 after the creep feed in the feed hopper 1 has been consumed, allowing the creep feed to be consumed simultaneously, thus ensuring feed freshness.

[0035] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the hopper 2 is detachably mounted on the tray 1 to facilitate the disassembly of the hopper 2, such as by connecting the hopper 2 to the tray 1 via bolts.

[0036] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the fixed bracket 5 is provided with a discharge port 6. One end of the discharge port 6 is detachably connected to the outlet of the storage bottle 3, and the other end is close to the bottom of the material tray 1. The discharge port 6 is used to control the liquid level in the material tray 1. The discharge port 6 can be connected to the outlet of the storage bottle 3 via a threaded connection. Utilizing the principle of atmospheric pressure, when the discharge port 6 is submerged, the liquid in the storage bottle 3 will not flow out because the air pressure inside the storage bottle 3 is balanced with the external atmospheric pressure. When the liquid level in the material tray 1 drops to the point where the discharge port 6 is exposed, air enters the storage bottle 3, causing the air pressure inside the storage bottle 3 to rise again. At this time, the liquid in the bottle will flow out, raising the liquid level in the material tray 1, until the discharge port 6 is submerged again, and the liquid in the storage bottle 3 will no longer flow out. Therefore, the storage bottle 3 can store a certain volume of liquid material, avoiding frequent feeding by personnel, reducing labor intensity, and ensuring the freshness of the material by preventing feeding and unloading.

[0037] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the distance between the discharge port 6 and the bottom of the tray 1 is adjustable, thereby adjusting the liquid level in the tray 1. The discharge port 6 can be designed as a threaded telescopic structure, such as a discharge port 6 divided into upper and lower parts connected by a thread. Twisting the upper part adjusts the position between the upper and lower parts, thereby adjusting the distance between the discharge port 6 and the tray 1, and thus controlling the liquid level in the tray 1.

[0038] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the fixing member 4 is a spring hook fixing member to facilitate disassembly.

[0039] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the spring hook fixing member passes through the material tray 1 and detachably fixes the material tray 1 to the manure slatted plate, so as to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the material tray 1 on the manure slatted plate.

[0040] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the spring hook fixing component includes a handle 41, a sleeve 42, a rod hook 43, a spring 44, and a washer 45. One end of the rod hook 43 is connected to the handle 41, and the other end passes through the sleeve 42, the spring 44, and the washer 45 in sequence and is inserted into the gap of the manure leakage plate. The diameters of the sleeve 42 and the washer 45 are larger than the diameter of the spring 44, and the diameter of the washer 45 is larger than the width of the gap, so as to ensure that when the sleeve 2 moves downward, it can compress the spring 44 between the sleeve 42 and the washer 45. Specifically, by compressing the spring 44 through the handle 41 and the sleeve 42, the hook of the rod hook 43 is inserted into the gap. By rotating the rod hook 43, the hook can hook onto the manure leakage plate. When the handle 41 is released, under the elastic force of the spring 44, the hook tightens onto the manure leakage plate, thus fixing the material tray 1 to the manure leakage plate.

[0041] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the feed tray 1 is provided with multiple partitions 7, and the partitions 7, the feed bin 2, and the feed tray 1 constitute multiple feeding positions for piglets. Only one piglet can eat from each feeding position at a time to prevent piglets from scrambling for food and wasting feed.

[0042] Following the above embodiment, more specifically, the material tray 1 has a semi-circular structure to accommodate the limited installation space.

[0043] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
