The invention relates to a building intended for agriculture for feeding or Fattening cattle, ζ. B. of pigs and piglets.

There are different versions of agricultural buildings for feeding or fattening Known cattle. They consist e.g. B. from an outer wall of circular plan, one placed on top Roof and a floor on which a plurality of radially arranged partition walls for Department of a number of individual stalls are set up.

For the feeding and watering of the cattle as well as for the removal of the rubbish, special Precautions are taken. For this purpose there are both a sewer channel in the ground below the stables as well as the arrangement of feeding places and irrigation devices for watering in each stall has been provided. It is also known to use the drainage channel in certain constructions, to which the stable floor inclines, partially protruding a grate.

Up until now it has been customary to place the feeding and watering devices on one side of the barn close together and the gutter ζ. B. to arrange the manure on the opposite side of the barn.

The present invention is based on the knowledge that cattle tend to secrete feces and urine, while it drinks. If the feeding and drinking facilities are on the same side of the barn, so the animals will pollute the feeding area of the barn. The invention aims to avoid this.

The invention is based on a feeding and fattening building, consisting of an enclosure with a Outer wall of circular plan, a roof and a floor for the enclosure on which set up a plurality of radially arranged partitions to divide a number of individual stalls are, a sewer arranged under the floor of the individual stables, the floor is inclined towards the sewer channel, a grating above the sewer channel and a feeding and watering device in each individual stall.

To enable such a feeding and fattening building to be kept as clean as possible taking into account the knowledge that cattle excrete feces and urine during watering maintains, the invention proposes that each individual stable is separated by partitions, the Grating completely covers the sewer channel and the device for watering directly above this grating is arranged while the feeding station

is at the opposite point of the single barn.

The progressiveness of the feeding house is given by the fact that the floors of all stables in the are essentially free of feed and manure or excrement.

According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the gutter and the devices arranged for watering on the side of the stables facing the central service room and the feeding places on the outer sides of the barn along the periphery of the feeding house. The advantage This arrangement is that the impregnation devices, which require more frequent cleaning, are repeated and can be quickly hosed down by a worker standing in the central operating area can. Another advantage of this arrangement is that the gutter is much shorter than with comparable other arrangements and thus the creation is less complex.

Also known are feeding houses that have more than one floor. According to a further embodiment of the invention, applied to such a two-story feeding house, are the grates of the upper shelf placed directly above that of the lower shelf, so that the manure can escape downwards can. In addition, the second floor has
