Abstract

Under the lamp beam, metal brackets can be arranged which are between 15 and 25 m wide and at which ends the stainless steel cables are connected. The other ends of the stainless steel cables are connected to the ceiling and preferably a soft protection is provided on the underside of the brackets and the mounting beam to protect against bumps. Between the top of the farmer's head, the distance to the bottom of the protection can be adjusted to, for example, 5 cm. The height can be adjusted, for example, by means of a cable system on which the mounting beam is suspended. The mounting bar of the UVC lamp is mounted so that the lamp is at the top of the mounting bar. Glass plates can be mounted on the two sides of the mounting beam at an angle of 45 degrees + - 15 degrees and preferably the highest point of the lamp is 1 to 3 mm above the highest point of the angle mounted glass plates.

Method and layout om. germs in: to reduce a livestock shed

The prevention of sick animals in a cattle shed, eg. a pigsty, a cowshed, a chicken shed, a barn, etc. is important for the farmer. Sick animals are an economic cost for the farmer, eg. veterinary costs, animals that die, medicine costs, growth retardation and also cause animal suffering. Moreover, the use of medicines such as antibiotics in animal husbandry also causes traces of the medicines such as antibiotics to be found in the meat to be consumed after slaughter, which can have an adverse effect on public health. In addition, these medicines, such as antibiotics, are also released back into the environment via the urine of the cattle feces, which leads to environmental pollution. Hey. The subject of this invention is a method and device for the use of medicaments such as antibiotics in, for example, cows, horses and sheep and chickens and the invention is defined according to the appended claims.

Figure 3: installation with indirect UVC 'light, including a side pad, for example, for milking

Animals, for example cows or horses or sheep, can be protected against diseases by irradiating the animal in a closed room for 6 to 10 hours with direct UVC light. In this treatment, the animals are protected for a long time by intensive irradiation. In animals with a lot of hair, such as cows, the hairs protect the animals sufficiently to avoid burns. Therefore, this method is not applicable in pigs because the fur of the pigs does not sufficiently protect against direct ζλ ^ζ rays. Cows are also not attracted to look at the U VC light so that it is not necessary for the cows to wear a hood. Preferably, only the animals transferred from other farms are irradiated so that new animals on the farm do not transmit diseases from other farms. Alternatively, the method is only used for animals which have been brought into the pasture for a longer period of time and which are brought to the stable. Preferably, this method is used in the absence of people in the enclosed space. Preferably, the method is used at night. Preferably, a UV lamp is suspended between 5 and 100 cm above the animal, preferably 50 to 60 cm and the height can be regulated, for example, by means of a cable system from which the lamp is suspended. One or more parallel or serial longitudinal lamps can progressively be suspended above and / or next to the animal. Alternative

BE2017 / 0034 one or more lamps can be hung above and / or next to several! e animals together.

Normal UVC bius lamps can be used as lamps between 5 and 30 watts

UVC emitting, preferably between 15 and 20 watts UVC and which are mounted in luminaires with a housing without reflectors.

O

Figure 1 shows an installation with indirect UVC light. Through this installation, incoming air and / or ascended air is irradiated with the UVC light, not the intention of the bacteria present. killing fungi or disrupting their life cycle and inhibiting their activity. Doo> · the convection currents, air is constantly sensed upwards in the house and a constant disinfection of the air occurs, as a result of which the concentration of germs decreases and, for example, the number of inflammations during caesarean sections of animals decreases significantly. This air circulatic also increases with the number of animals. This installation replaces the normal lighting in the cattle shed because this installation has sufficient light to spread the feeding and care work of the animals. The UVC light can only be lit during feeding and care activities, but preferably the VC light can be lit 24 hours per 24 hours. Only in exceptional situations such as cesarean sections are DC fluorescent or LED lamps lit. Pests such as rats and mice will experience unpleasant UVC radiation and will therefore stay away from them. Flies, mosquitoes and other insects are attracted to the UVC light but absolutely cannot withstand it and drop dead. The radiation of dc lamps 1 can be measured, as it were, by the insects present on the ceiling, Only on nicer than 3 staples and further daring dc to sit down. Therefore, the distance between the lamps 1 in the transverse direction of the lamps 1 should preferably not exceed 6 meters and the lamps I in the longitudinal direction are preferably placed as close together as possible, for example, not a length of the lamps up to a length of the stable coefficient of more than 70%, but preferably more than 90%. In the case of shadows, for example, beams present, it is clear where the insects are. Where, without the UVC installation in the house, weekly extermination with flies has to be carried out, this is limited to exceptional times when the weather conditions coincide and there is a tree of flies. The UVC radiation does not propagate far and is not reflected and therefore several lamps l must be used in parallel in a wide barn (see figures 2 and 3). Dust in the air blocks DC UVC radiation, which is a big problem in pigsties. However, at cowsheds, dust is rather limited, so that the installation of figures 1 to 3 is suitable for additional image cowsheds. For example, lamps 1 can be cleaned weekly or as needed with soft paper towels and vinegar. Therefore, the lamps 1 are preferably mounted above the walking / working path 13 in the stable. Plans can be protected with gloves and because the skin is above the head, the head or the rest of the body are not affected. Metal brackets 7 can be arranged under the lamp beam 2, which are between 15 and 25 cm wide and at which ends 40 the stainless steel cable 4 are connected. The other ends of the stainless steel cables are connected to the ceiling and preferably at the bottom brackets 7 and the mounting bar 2. a soft protection 12 is provided to protect against the head of the farmer. Between the top of the farmer's head, the distance to the bottom of the farmer can be

The height can be varied regularly, for example on the basis of a cable system from which the mounting beam 27 of the UVC lamp I is suspended. The mounting bar 2 of the UVC lamp is mounted so that the lamp 1 is at the top of the mounting bar 2. On the two sides of the mounting bar 2, glass plates 3 can be mounted under a hock of 45 degrees + - 15 degrees with respect to the horizon on, preferably the highest pant of the lamp rises 11 to 3 ram above the top point of the bottom corner mounted glass plates 3,
