Abstract

The farrowing compartment is fixed to the ground at four points, and has a pendulum above it, consisting of three flat pieces of iron which transmit the pressure exerted by the sow onto the opposite side A mechanical spring on the left-hand iron piece provides counter-pressure. The middle flat iron piece forms an axle on its central suspension. A two-part door is suspended from horizontal hinges. The farrowing-litter consists of pipes

Description

In der aktuellen Praxis der Ferkelproduktion wird die ferkelführende Muttersau bewegungs arm gehalten. In der Säugephase befindet sich die Muttersau in einem sogenannten Abfer kelbügel, ringsum begrenzt durch Rohrkonstruktionen, mit einem Abstand von ca. 70 cm in der Breite und hinter der Sau verschlossen. Diese bisherigen Abferkelbügel müssen jeder neuen Sau (je nach Körperausmaßen) angepasst werden.In the current practice of piglet production, the piglet-leading mother sow is moving held poor. In the suckling phase, the mother sow is in a so-called Abfer kelbügel, limited by tubular structures all around, with a distance of approx. 70 cm in the width and closed behind the sow. Everyone has to have these farrowing bars new sow (depending on body size) to be adjusted.

Bei der hier zum Patent angemeldeten "Verlaßbaren Abferkelnische" handelt es sich eben falls um eine die Muttersau umschließende Rohrkonstruktion mit dem maßgeblichen Unter schied, dass die Muttersau nicht eingesperrt bleibt, sondern die Abferkelnische vorwärts be treten und rückwärts verlassen kann.The "Reliable farrowing niche" for which a patent has been applied is just a matter of fact if a pipe construction enclosing the mother sow with the relevant sub decided that the mother sow would not remain locked up, but would move the farrowing niche forward can kick and leave backwards.

Die Verlaßbare Abferkelnische wird in ihren Ausmaßen ausschließlich von der Muttersau bestimmt. Mit Wählbewegungen an den aufgehängten Seitengittern vergrößert sie die Liege fläche und drückt mit dem Körper die Gitter auseinander. The size of the reliable farrowing niche is determined exclusively by the mother sow certainly. With dial movements on the suspended side rails, she enlarges the bed surface and press the grids apart with the body.

Hartgummimatte, die sich dabei nach innen neigt. Beim Verlassen schiebt die Sau sich nach hinten über diese Hartgummimatte, die dann nach außen zeigt.Hard rubber mat that tilts inwards. The sow pushes when leaving backwards over this hard rubber mat, which then points outwards.

Claims

1. The reliable farrowing niche is only produced in one size. It will be on the ground fixed at 4 points and not changed in height, width or length.

2. The pendulum located above the trough determines together with the sow the niche size. Both work proportionally against each other in print. The control pendulum consists of three flat bars, which transfer the pressure caused by the sow to the opposite side 1: 1 and thus create width on the farrowing niche floor.
So that the farrowing niche does not open too far or even stays open, a mechanical spring attached to the left flat iron ensures constant counter pressure. The central flat iron forms an axis on its central suspension, at which the enlargement or reduction pressures pass. So that the counter pressure spring maintains the working position, it slides apart or together on a 12 mm round steel.

3. The two-part door is hung in horizontal hinges. It can cannot be levered out by the sows. The horizontal parts of the door are round kept so that they are neither in the supply aisle nor in the open state protrude the farrowing area. The vertical pipes are in the closed state the door approx. 18 cm into the niche to provide a protection zone for the farrowing process to create the newborn.

4. The movable side parts suspended above end approx. 19 cm above the floor. They consist of 3-inch tubes that are horizontally 16 cm apart to have. At the top of every side part are the flat bars of the steue attached pendulum.

5. The niche shape
The niche is made of inch tubes and vertically delimiting iron.
The niche is approx. 2.30 m long and 50 cm wide at the trough. At the end of the door it is approx. 56 cm wide. This slight narrowing to the front prevents the sow from turning when leaving the farrowing niche.
To enter the farrowing niche, the sow goes over a flexible, approx. 38 cm high
