Description

The invention relates to a poultry farming device, a poultry house for poultry farming. In particular, the invention relates to a poultry farming device, a poultry house for parent animals.

In poultry farming, in particular of parent animals, it may be preferred to enable the animals to mate naturally in the poultry farming device. This is desirable, for example, because artificial insemination is very labor-intensive and requires qualified personnel. With a natural mating approach, on the other hand, male and female poultry are kept together and the male poultry is able to naturally kick the female poultry in a poultry farm. Poultry farming with a natural mating approach is particularly useful for smaller and / or lighter genetics, such as the so-called yellowbirds, which result from the mating of a more yellow to dark feathered hen and a (not necessarily yellow) rooster and are smaller and lighter than fast-growing ones Genetics such as Ross 308 and Cobb 500 .

Such poultry farming devices are known for example from CN 106 135 055 A or the so-called Veranda Breeder from Vencomatic (https://www.vencomaticgroup.com/public/pdfs/Brochure_-_Breeders_-_VCMG_EN8.pdf.)

However, there is a need for improved poultry farming devices.

It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a poultry farming device, a poultry house for poultry farming, which is improved over existing solutions, in particular with regard to the performance and health of the animals.

This object is achieved by a poultry farming device, in particular for parent animals, comprising an animal stay level with an animal stay floor, a lower feed system with a lower feed tank, an upper feed system with a first and a second upper feed tank, with a distance between a feed tank bottom of the first upper feed tank and the animal stay floor corresponds to at least 1.5 times the distance of a feed container bottom of the lower feed container from the animal residence floor, and a distance of a feed container bottom of the second upper feed container from the animal residence floor corresponds to at least 1.5 times the distance of the feed container bottom of the lower feed container from the animal residence floor, and wherein upper feed system is designed to feed the first upper feed container with a first upper feed dose and the second upper feed container with a second upper feed dose, the first o the higher feed dose is different from the second upper feed dose.

The poultry farming device described here is used in particular to keep parents. Furthermore, the poultry farming device described here is preferably particularly suitable for enabling natural pairing of the poultry animals.

The poultry farming device comprises an animal accommodation level with an animal accommodation floor. The animal residence floor serves as a footprint for the poultry. The animal residence floor is preferably permeable, in particular for animal excrement, for example in the form of a grid. Furthermore, the animal floor is preferably inclined, in particular to the horizontal.

A manure belt is preferably arranged below the animal floor, which is used to remove animal excrement that reaches the manure belt through the preferably permeable animal floor. The manure belt is preferably designed as an endless belt.

Furthermore, a drinking system with drinking troughs is preferably provided in the animal stay level in order to supply the poultry animals with water.

The poultry farming device comprises two feed systems, namely a lower feed system with a lower feed container and an upper feed system with a first and a second upper feed container. The lower feed system is used in particular to provide female poultry with feed. The upper feed system is used in particular to provide male poultry with feed. Male poultry animals are generally larger and heavier than female poultry animals and usually have a comb that is not or less pronounced in female poultry animals. In order to make the two feeding systems particularly suitable for male and female poultry animals, they are arranged at different distances from the animal floor.

The distance between the respective feed container bottom of the first and second upper feed container is preferably at least 50% greater than the distance between the feed container bottom of the lower feed container and the animal residence floor. The respective feed container floor of the first and second upper feed container is thus at least 1.5 times as high above the animal residence floor arranged like the bottom of the lower feed container.

A lower feed container is thus located in the poultry holding device at a certain distance above the bottom of the feed container. Furthermore, there are two upper feed containers in the poultry holding device, the feed container bases of which are at a distance from the animal residence floor which is at least 1.5 times the distance from the feed container base of the lower feed container above the animal residence floor.

A feed container usually has one or more side walls adjacent to a feed container base, which extend upwards from the feed container base and together with the feed container base form a receptacle for feed. This is the case, for example, both with feed troughs and with feed containers designed as feed trays. An upper edge of the side wall or side walls also influences the accessibility of the feed for the poultry. The distance of an upper edge of the side wall or side walls of the first upper feed container and of the second upper feed container from the animal residence floor preferably corresponds to at least 1.5 times the distance of an upper edge of the side wall or side walls of a lower feed container from the animal residence floor.

The distance of a feed container base and / or an upper edge of the side wall or side walls from the animal residence floor preferably relates to a distance measured from the feed container base and / or from the upper edge of the side wall or side walls that is substantially perpendicular or with an inclination of up to 40 ° essentially perpendicular to the point or area of the animal floor or with an inclination of up to 40 ° below the feed container and / or to the point or area of the animal floor from which a poultry animal will generally attempt to feed from the respective animal To accommodate feed containers. In this way, the distance between the feed container base and / or the upper edge of the side wall, which is relevant for the accessibility of the feed containers by the poultry animals, can also be used in the case of animal shelters which are not arranged entirely in a horizontal plane, but are, for example, inclined, stepped or otherwise configured or side walls and the animal floor under the feed container can be reliably determined.

The distance between the bottom of the feed container and / or the upper edge of the side wall or side walls of the first upper feed container and / or the second upper feed container from the animal residence floor preferably corresponds to at least twice, further preferably at least 2.5 times, further preferably at least that 3 times, further preferably at least 3.5 times, further preferably at least 5 times or further preferably at least 7 times the distance of the feed container bottom and / or the upper edge of the side wall or side walls of the lower feed container from the animal residence floor.

The different spacing of the feed container bottoms and / or the upper edges of the side wall or side walls of the lower and upper feed containers ensures that female poultry can only take feed from the lower feed containers of the lower feed system, since they are the upper feed containers of the upper feed system due to their cannot reach smaller size. The male poultry, on the other hand, can reach the upper feed containers of the upper feed system and take their feed from this upper feed system.

The upper feed system is also designed to feed the first and second upper feed containers with different amounts of feed. This means, for example, that a larger amount of feed can be provided in the first upper feed container than in the second upper feed container, and vice versa, in particular as required.

The possibility of being able to feed the upper feed containers of the upper feed system with different amounts of feed has various advantages. For example, the amount of feed provided in the upper feed containers of the upper feed system can be made dependent on the number of male poultry animals that are to take feed from the respective upper feed container.

This is based, among other things, on the knowledge that to promote natural mating, it is important to feed the male poultry animals restrictively and with precisely dosed feed. The reason for this is that underdosing or overdosing the feed can lead to performance depressions in the fertility and agility of the male poultry. The performance and animal welfare can thus be increased by the solution described here, with which different amounts of feed can be provided in the upper feed containers of the upper feed system of an animal stay level. Compared to existing systems in which the same amounts of feed are dosed out, there is thus the advantageous possibility of also adding the dosed amount to the number of male poultry animals that are in the area around the respective upper feed container and take their feed from it, even within an animal stay level. adapt.

Within the animal residence level there is preferably an animal residence area in which the male and female poultry reside. This animal area is preferably separated from an environment, so that the poultry cannot leave the animal area. A separation of the animal areas from the environment can be achieved, for example, using grids.

The lower feed container and the first and the second upper feed container are preferably arranged in such a way that they can be reached by the poultry located in the animal accommodation area. The first and the second upper feed container of the upper feed system are preferably arranged within the animal accommodation area.

The poultry farming device preferably has a longitudinal extent and a transverse extent, as well as a height. The longitudinal extent of the poultry farming device is preferably larger, in particular at least many times larger than the transverse extent of the poultry farming device.

As will also be described in more detail below, the poultry husbandry device can have a plurality of animal residence levels, which are preferably arranged one above the other. The animal residence levels are preferably delimited from one another in such a way that poultry cannot switch between the animal residence levels. These animal residence levels are preferably of essentially the same design and / or have the same properties and / or functions, apart from the differences described in more detail below.

Several levels of livestock, which are preferably arranged one above the other, have the advantage that, with the same longitudinal extent and transverse extent of a poultry farming device, the capacity of the poultry farming device can be significantly increased by the multiple levels and thus the space available in a poultry house can be used efficiently.

The description of details on an animal stay level and its respective components, functions and advantages preferably also applies to the other animal stay levels, unless differences are explicitly stated. Likewise, information applies to components that are present in the poultry farming device multiple times, especially if the poultry farming device has several animal residence levels, preferably both for the individual component and for two, three or more or all of the components, regardless of whether the description is in the singular or plural, unless exceptions are explicitly stated.

As also shown in more detail below, a lower feed system is preferably provided for each animal stay level, whereas exactly one upper feed system is preferably provided for the poultry farming device, and this upper feed system supplies the two, three or more animal stay levels with feed. For this purpose, it is provided in particular that upper feed containers are located on the different levels of animal stay, but are fed by a common feed line of the upper feed system.

According to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that an animal stay level comprises two, three or more compartments. Preferably, two, three or more animal shelter levels are each divided into two, three or more compartments. The compartments are preferably arranged along a longitudinal extent of the animal accommodation level and / or the poultry farming device.

These compartments can preferably be used to create different areas for the poultry, even within an animal accommodation level. The compartments are preferably designed to be closed. A closed training of the compartments means in particular that the poultry cannot change their location between the compartments. The closed design of the compartments can be achieved, for example, using grids.

According to a preferred embodiment it is provided that the first upper feed container is arranged in a first compartment and the second upper feed container is arranged in a second compartment.

The provision of compartments has the advantage, in particular in poultry farming for natural mating, that the number of poultry animals per animal stay level and / or per compartment can be controlled, for example in particular with regard to the number of male and female poultry animals and / or their relationship to one another. This also results in a further advantage of the above-described design of the upper feed system in that the two upper feed containers can be loaded with different amounts of feed. In this way, different compartments of the same animal stay level can in particular be fed with different amounts of feed through the upper feed system, for example if there is a different number of male poultry animals in one compartment than in other compartments.

A preferred further development is characterized in that the lower feed system comprises a feed chain and / or a feed spiral for loading the lower feed container. The feed chain preferably runs in the lower feed container. Furthermore, the feed chain preferably has baffle plates spaced apart from one another along the conveying direction or chain links designed with recesses for conveying the feed. Furthermore, a feed spiral can be provided for conveying the feed within the lower feed container. Furthermore, it is preferably provided that the lower feed container is designed as a feed trough.

In a further preferred embodiment it is provided that the lower feed container is arranged outside of an animal stay area and / or laterally adjacent to the animal stay floor. With such an arrangement of the lower feed container, the latter can preferably be reached by the poultry in the animal accommodation area, in particular by female poultry.

Another preferred further development is characterized in that an access barrier, preferably in the form of a grid, is arranged between the lower feed container and the animal stay area. The provision of an access barrier between the lower feed container and the animal accommodation area can ensure that male poultry animals do not have access to the lower feed container.

An access barrier can be designed, for example, in the form of horizontal struts which are spaced apart in the vertical direction. The access barrier can also have openings. Through the struts and / or the openings, female poultry animals can get their heads to feed in the lower feed container. The struts preferably have a, in particular vertical, distance from one another of at most 10 cm, in particular at most 7.5 cm, in particular at most 6.5 cm, preferably at most 6 cm, preferably at most 5.5 cm, preferably at most 5 cm, preferably maximum 4.5 cm, or preferably maximum 4 cm. The openings preferably have an extent, in particular in the vertical direction, of at most 10 cm, in particular at most 7.5 cm, in particular at most 6.5 cm, preferably at most 6 cm, preferably at most 5.5 cm, preferably at most 5 cm, preferably maximum 4.5 cm, or preferably maximum 4 cm.

In particular, it is preferred that the lower feed container comprises two lower feed container sections. The lower feed container preferably has two lower feed container sections, which preferably extend in the direction of the longitudinal extent of the poultry husbandry device and / or are arranged on opposite sides of the animal accommodation level. The lower feed container can comprise further lower feed container sections which connect the two lower feed container sections to one another.

The lower feed system is preferably designed as a chain conveyor, in which a conveyor chain runs in a circumferential, preferably at least partially open, trough system and is deflected at corners or curves and is driven by at least one drive wheel. The feed is preferably carried along via baffle disks arranged at a distance from the feed chain orthogonally to the conveying direction or with chain links designed with recesses and distributed in the trough system. The lower feed container sections are preferably part of such a trough system. As already explained, a lower feed system is preferably provided for each animal stay level, for example such a chain conveyor with a trough system per animal stay level. The lower conveyor systems of several animal residence levels can be fed from a common feed supply.

According to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the upper feed system comprises a, preferably closed, feed line, in particular a continuous conveyor, for loading the first and second upper feed containers.

The feed line is preferably closed and / or designed as a chain tube conveyor. A chain tube conveyor or a closed feed line is advantageous in the upper feed system, since here the conveyor chain does not run in the feed trough from which the poultry animals feed directly, but the feed line only serves to feed the feed containers.

The feed line is preferably arranged centrally along a transverse extension of the animal accommodation level and / or the poultry farming device.

It is further preferably provided that the first upper feed container is arranged centrally along a transverse extension of the animal stay level and / or the poultry keeping device and / or the second upper feed container is arranged centrally along a transverse extension of the animal stay level and / or the poultry holding device.

A central arrangement of the upper feed container has, in particular also in combination with an arrangement of the lower feed container or the two lower feed container sections outside the animal stay area and / or laterally adjacent to the animal stay floor, the advantage that there is no particular crowding among the poultry during the feed intake. Rather, the female poultry can feed on the two lower feed container sections, which are preferably located on the outer sides of the animal stay area, and the male poultry animals can take feed from the upper feed containers in the middle area of the animal stay areas. This also contributes to a calm and relaxed atmosphere in the poultry keeping device during feeding.

In the case of a central arrangement of the upper feed containers, a central arrangement of the feed line and / or the buffer units and / or the downpipes is also preferred in order to enable the upper feed containers to be loaded by gravity.

Another preferred further development is characterized in that the first upper feed container is connected to the feed line via a first buffer unit, preferably a first volume metering device, and / or the second upper feed container is connected to the feed line via a second buffer unit, preferably a second volume metering device is. The upper feed system is preferably designed to feed all buffer units simultaneously and / or to simultaneously release the amount of feed stored in the buffer units.

The connection of the upper feed container to the feed line via a buffer unit in each case is a preferred possibility of realizing the metering of different quantities of feed to the upper feed container. The buffer units are preferably designed such that they can buffer a predetermined amount of feed. Furthermore, the buffer units are preferably designed to output the amount of feed stored in them in response to a signal. The signal can also be a mechanical trigger signal, for example, which is transmitted, for example, via a cable pull.

Furthermore, the upper feed system is preferably designed to feed the first upper feed container with the first upper feed dose and the second upper feed container with the second upper feed dose simultaneously. This configuration has the advantage over a time-delayed loading of the first and second upper feed containers that the poultry animals that receive their feed from the first and second upper feed containers can access feed at the same time. In this way, restlessness among the animals can be avoided, which can arise in particular if some of the animals are granted access to feed and another part of the animals are not (yet). At the same time means in particular that there is a maximum time delay between the provision of feed in the two upper feed containers 5s , preferably of a maximum of 3s.

Another preferred further development is characterized in that the first upper feed container is connected to the feed line via a first downpipe and / or the second upper feed container is connected to the feed line via a second downpipe, preferably the first and / or the second downpipe with an inclination of at most 40 °, preferably at most 30 °, preferably at most 25 °, to the vertical, the first and / or the second downpipe preferably being arranged essentially vertically. This is preferred in order to enable the upper feed containers to be loaded by gravity.

A connection of the upper feed container to the feed line via downpipes has the advantage that even with a central feed line, which is preferably arranged above the uppermost animal stay level, the upper feed containers can be arranged at different heights, in particular on different animal stay levels. The buffer units preferably connect directly to the feed line and the downpipes connect to feed outlets of the buffer units. A downpipe is thus preferably arranged between an outlet of a buffer unit and an inlet of a feed pan.

In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the poultry husbandry device comprises two, three or more animal shelter levels, which are preferably arranged one above the other. A lower feed system is preferably provided for each animal stay level. Exactly one upper feed system is preferably provided. The feed line of the upper feed system is preferably arranged within or above an uppermost animal stay level.

At least one upper feed container, preferably at least two upper feed containers, of the upper feed system is or are preferably arranged for each animal stay level.

Another preferred further development is characterized in that a faeces band, preferably in the form of an endless belt, is arranged for each animal stay level below the animal stay floor. The manure belt of the lowest animal residence level is preferably undivided. According to a preferred embodiment, it is provided that the respective manure belt of one or more of the upper levels of animal stay is a divided manure belt with at least two manure belt strands.

As already mentioned at the beginning, below is preferably an animal floor Manure belt arranged, which is preferably designed as an endless belt. Such manure belt can be undivided and is preferably deflected and / or driven by rollers at its two deflecting ends. A further preferred development is characterized by an undivided deflection roller at a first deflection end of the undivided manure belt of the lowest animal stay level and / or a manure belt drive, preferably in the form of an undivided drive roller, at a second deflection end of the undivided manure belt of the lowest animal stay level. An undivided configuration of a manure belt is preferably provided on the lowest animal stay level.

In the animal accommodation levels above, divided manure belts are preferably provided which have at least two manure belt strands. A divided manure belt is preferably divided along its longitudinal extent in such a way that two mutually independent manure belt strands are present and these are furthermore preferably spaced apart from one another, so that there is a free space between the two manure belt strands.

A split configuration of a manure belt is particularly preferred in combination with centrally arranged upper feed containers, in particular if these are connected via downpipes to a likewise preferably centrally arranged feed line. The free space between the two manure belt strands allows a central arrangement of the upper feed containers and their feeding via central downpipes, since otherwise an undivided manure belt would not allow the upper pipes to be arranged centrally.

A further preferred embodiment is characterized by at least one manure belt drive, preferably a lower belt drive, which is designed to jointly drive the at least two manure belt strands of a divided manure belt, preferably a lower belt of the divided manure belt, of an animal stay level.

Furthermore, the two manure belt strands of a manure belt can preferably be driven by a common manure belt drive, which in particular has cost advantages and reduces complexity. Such a manure belt drive, which drives the at least two manure belt strands of a divided manure belt, is preferably designed as a lower belt drive. The lower belt drive preferably comprises a drive roller and a pressure roller arranged in front of and behind the drive roller. The respective manure belt strand is guided between the pressure rollers and the drive roller in such a way that the pressure rollers press the manure belt strand, in particular its lower flange, against the drive roller and in this way the manure belt strand is driven by the drive roller. The lower belt drive is furthermore preferably characterized in that by its use a manure belt always enables a tensioned upper belt in both a first conveying direction and in a second conveying direction.

A further preferred development is characterized by at least one pair of deflection rollers, which is designed to individually deflect the at least two manure belt strands of a divided manure belt of an animal stay level at a first deflection end. A further preferred embodiment is characterized by a deflection roller which is designed to jointly deflect the at least two manure belt strands of a divided manure belt of an animal stay level at a second deflecting end.

The deflecting rollers and / or the pair of deflecting rollers are preferably designed to be variable with regard to their position, in particular with respect to the position of at least one of their bearing points, in particular along the longitudinal extent of the poultry farming device. This serves to correct the position of the manure belt or manure belt strands in operation in the event of an irregular course of the manure belt or manure belt strands.

A further preferred development is characterized by a control device, which is preferably designed to control the lower feed system and / or the upper feed system and / or the manure belt drive and / or the pair of guide rollers and / or the guide roller. The poultry husbandry device preferably comprises a control device which can control centrally or decentrally individual, several or all components of the poultry husbandry device, in particular generate and / or receive and / or send required signals.

If several of one of the components mentioned here are provided in the poultry farming device, it is preferred that the control device is designed to control one, several or all of these components.

In a preferred embodiment it is provided that the control device and / or the lower feed system and / or the upper feed system is or are designed for restrictive feeding, in which preferably only one predetermined feed ration is output per animal or herd.

Further advantageous embodiment variants of the device described above result from a combination of the preferred features discussed here.

According to a further aspect of the invention, the above-mentioned object is achieved by a poultry house for poultry farming, comprising at least one poultry farming device described above.

A method is also described for poultry farming, comprising providing an animal stay level with an animal stay floor, providing a lower feed system with a lower feed container, providing an upper feed system with a first and a second upper feed container, wherein a distance of a feed container bottom of the first upper feed container from the animal stay floor is at least corresponds to 1.5 times the distance of a feed container bottom of the lower feed container from the animal residence floor, and a distance of a feed container bottom of the second upper feed container from the animal residence floor corresponds to at least 1.5 times the distance of the feed container bottom of the lower feed container from the animal residence floor, and loading the first one upper feed container with a first upper feed dose and the second upper feed container with a second upper feed dose, the first upper feed dose being different from the second above feed dose is different.

The method described above and its possible further developments have features or method steps which make them particularly suitable for use with a poultry farming device and its further developments described here.

Regarding the advantages, design variants and design details of these further aspects of the invention and its developments, reference is made to the preceding description of the corresponding features of the other aspects.

Per animal stay level 1000 , 2000 , 3000 a circumferential trough system is therefore preferably provided, which is preferably along the two long sides of the poultry farming device 1 lower feed container sections 1110a , b which also applies to the upper animal levels 2000 , 3000 are provided. Corresponding corner deflections are preferably in the corners of these circumferential trough systems 1115 , 2115 , 3115 provided to redirect the feed chain in the corners. The feed chains of the respective lower feed systems are driven 1100 , 2100 , 3100 preferably via drive wheels of drives 1116 , 2116 , 3116 the feed chains.

Between the two lower sections of the feed container 1110a , b and the animal area 1020 is an access barrier 1400 in the form of a grid with in particular 5 horizontal struts to be recognized 1410 arranged.

A lower edge of the access barrier 1400 is designated 1411. Below this bottom edge 1411 a closed wall is preferably arranged so that poultry only above the lower edge 1411 the access barriers 1400 Access to the lower feed container 1110 can attain. The bottom edge 1411 the access barrier 1400 can also be used as the top edge of the side wall of the bottom feed container 1110 be designated. The distance 1411A the bottom edge of the access barrier from the animal floor 1010 the first level of animal residence 1000 is preferably about 175 mm.

The distance 1411B between the first of the struts 1410 and the bottom edge 1411 the access barrier 1400 is preferably larger than the distance 1410A the pursuit 1410 from each other. Both distances are preferably 1411B and 1410A dimensioned so that male poultry are prevented from feeding from the lower feed container 1110 to record. The lower feeding systems 1100 , 2100 , 3100 thus primarily serve to provide feed for female poultry animals which, due to their small size and the generally smaller or nonexistent comb, pass through the access barrier 1400 for feed in the feed container 1110 can reach. The distance 1411B is preferably approximately 55 to 70 mm. The distance 1410A is preferably approximately 50 mm.

At each of the animal residence levels 1000 , 2000 , 3000 are also potions 2nd for female poultry animals and drinking troughs 3rd intended for male poultry. The distance 3A the potions 3rd for male poultry from the animal floor 1010 is greater than the distance 2A the potions 2nd for female poultry from the animal floor 1010 . The distance 3A is preferably about 450 mm, the distance 2A is preferably about 380 mm.

An upper edge 212 of the first upper feed container 201 of the feeding system 200 is preferably from the manure belt of the animal residence level above 2000 at a distance 201A spaced, this distance 201A is preferably approximately 120 mm. Furthermore, the top edge 212 the side wall of the first upper feed container 201 from the animal floor 1010 at a distance 212A spaced, this distance 212A is preferably variably adjustable, especially in stages. The distance is preferably 212A approx. 470 mm, approx. 490 mm or approx. 510 mm or can be variably adjusted to these distances.

The distance 211A the bottom of the feed container 211 of the first upper feed container 201 from the animal floor 1010 is at least 1.5 times the distance 1111A the bottom of the feed container 1111 of the lower feed container 1110 from the animal floor 1010 , as in particular in 4th can be seen. The same applies accordingly to the second upper feed container 202 the first level of animal residence 1000 . The distance 211A is preferably about 350 mm, about 400 mm, about 450 mm or about 500 mm. The distance 1111A is preferably approximately 90 mm, more preferably approximately 80 mm and particularly preferably approximately 70 mm.

As especially in 4th can be seen, the respective distance is measured 1111A , 211A of a feed container bottom 1111 , 211 from the animal floor 1010 each in relation to the height of the animal floor 1010 in the area in which a poultry stands when it feeds from the respective feed container 1110 , 201 wants to record.

Through a higher arrangement of the first and second feed containers 201 , 202 of the upper feed system 200 over the animal floor 1010 it ensures that only male poultry from the upper feed system 200 Take up food. In this way, feed can be provided separately for female and male poultry animals in a mixed rearing of parent animals. In this way, male poultry animals can be fed a food that differs in type and quantity per animal from the food for female poultry animals. In this way, fertility and agility, particularly of male poultry, can be positively influenced, so that the natural mating behavior of poultry is also positively influenced, and insemination rates similar to those achieved with manual, artificial insemination can be achieved.

The arrangement of the upper feed system 200 essentially in the middle along the transverse extent QE the poultry farming device 1 and the arrangement of the lower feed containers 1110 , 2110 , 3110 outside the animal residence areas and laterally adjacent to the animal residence floors also has the advantage that the animal residence areas and the animal residence floors per animal residence level 1000 , 2000 , 3000 can also be used efficiently during feeding and the animals can be saved unnecessary stress. The female poultry can use the lower feed containers designed as feed troughs 1110 , 2110 , 3110 take in food on the longitudinal outer sides of the animal stay areas and the male poultry animals can use the upper feed containers designed as feed bowls in the middle area of the animal stay areas 201 , 202 , 203 , 204 , 205 , 206 use for feed intake.

It is particularly preferred here that all essential components of the upper feed system 200 that are in the area of animal residences 1000 , 2000 , 3000 extend, essentially centrally along the transverse extent QE the poultry farming device 1 are arranged, especially if the upper feed container 201 , 202 , 203 , 204 , 205 , 206 from the feed line 220 to be loaded by gravity. For this purpose there are essentially vertical downpipes 231 , 232 , 233 , 234 , 235 , 236 or downpipes with an inclination to the vertical of maximum 40 ° are preferred. With a central arrangement of the upper feed containers 201 , 202 , 203 , 204 , 205 , 206 is therefore also a central arrangement of the downpipes 231 , 232 , 233 , 234 , 235 , 236 prefers. However, this means that it is centered along the transverse extent QE the poultry farming device 1 a top-to-bottom passage is required to make room for the downpipes 231 , 232 , 233 , 234 , 235 , 236 to accomplish. For this purpose, the animal residences must be interrupted accordingly, in particular also the handrails on which the animal residences are held. The support rods preferably direct the forces onto a frame of the poultry farming device 1 from. In order to ensure the transmission of force even when the handrails are interrupted, it is preferred that the interrupted handrails on the downpipes 231 , 232 , 233 , 234 , 235 , 236 can be attached and forces can also be transmitted via the downpipes. For this purpose, the downpipes are preferably again via the feed line 220 also attached to a frame in order to be able to introduce the forces into the frame.

This requirement exists particularly in the upper levels of animal residence 2000 , 3000 and not at the lowest animal stay level 1000 . The reason for this is that the upper feed container 201 , 202 the first level of animal residence 1000 above the animal floor 1010 and are arranged above the manure belt underneath, so that elements of the upper feed system 200 Not the animal floor 1010 or the manure tape of the lowest animal habitation level underneath 1000 have to penetrate.

In particular, there is a division of the fecal bands of the upper animal levels 2000 , 3000 in two spaced apart manure belt strands preferred to make room for the downpipes between the manure belt strands 231 , 232 , 233 , 234 , 235 , 236 to accomplish. An undivided manure belt, as it is in the lowest animal levels 1000 can be used, is preferably at the two deflection ends by pulleys 1310 , 1320 redirected. One of these deflection rollers is preferably driven and is therefore also used as a drive roller 1310 designated.

Since a manure belt, especially when it is loaded with manure, tends to run, the possibility of correcting the course is preferred. For this purpose, adjustment means are preferably provided which adjust the axis of rotation of the drive roller 1310 allow along the conveying direction of the manure belt so that a course of the manure belt can be counteracted accordingly. In the case of split manure belts with two manure belt strands as in the two upper levels of animal residence 2000 , 3000 a corresponding run of the manure belt occurs individually for the two manure belt strands. In order to be able to control the two manure belt strands individually with regard to their course behavior, the manure belt strands of divided manure belts can no longer be operated sensibly using a single drive roller with common adjustment. For this purpose, provision is preferably made at the two deflecting ends of the two upper levels of animal residence 2000 , 3000 to provide a pair of deflection rollers in order to be able to individually deflect the respective manure belt strands. In longitudinal section according to the three-dimensional representation 2nd is only one pulley at a time 2321 , 2322 , 3321 , 3322 of the pairs of pulleys. Here, the respective pair of deflecting rollers could be driven at one deflecting end, but this then per animal stay level 2000 , 3000 doubling the number of drive rollers from 1 to 2 would require. Therefore, it is preferred, especially for an economically attractive solution, to use both strands of manure on one animal stay level 2000 , 3000 with a common drive in the form of a lower belt drive 2310 , 3310 to drive. Here, as in particular in 6 shown, the lower flange 2302 one of the manure belt strands around the drive roller 2311 and the two pinch rollers 2312 of the lower belt drive 2310 looped that the pinch rollers 2312 the lower chord 2302 of the manure belt to the drive roller 2311 press and so a drive power on the lower chord 2302 transmitted, with which the upper chord 2301 of the manure belt strand is conveyed in the corresponding opposite direction. Such a lower belt drive 2310 , 3310 will also, especially due to the shape of the course of the lower chord 2302 , referred to as an Omega drive.

Per compartment 1000A , 1000B , 2000A , 2000B , 3000A , 3000B For example, 8 to 10 male poultry and 70 to 80 female poultry are to be accommodated. The number of male poultry in particular can fluctuate over time, for example due to natural losses. It may be that in different compartments 1000A , 1000B , 2000A , 2000B , 3000A , 3000B the same animal stay level 1000 , 2000 , 3000 different numbers of male poultry are present. In order to be able to deliver a quantity of feed measured per poultry, it is therefore advantageous to place it in the feed containers 201 , 202 , 203 , 204 , 205 , 206 of the upper feed system 200 in different compartments 1000A , 1000B , 2000A , 2000B , 3000A , 3000B the same animal stay level 1000 , 2000 , 3000 to be able to spread different amounts of feed. This is in the poultry farming device described here 1 through the upper feed system 200 enables.

The feed line 220 of the upper feed system 200 is preferably designed as a chain tube conveyor and runs with respect to the transverse extent QE the poultry farming device 1 in the middle above the top animal level 3000 . The per animal stay level 1000 , 2000 , 3000 at least two upper feed containers 201 , 202 , 203 , 204 , 205 , 206 are with the feed line 220 via downpipes 231 , 232 , 233 , 234 , 235 , 236 and buffer units 221 , 222 , 223 , 224 , 225 , 226 connected in the form of volume dispensers.

The entire poultry farm 1 is about a single top feed system 200 loaded, especially on all animal levels 1000 , 2000 , 3000 and in all compartments 1000A , 1000B , 2000A , 2000B , 3000A , 3000B with all upper feed containers 201 , 202 , 203 , 204 , 205 , 206 . The upper feed container 201 , 202 , 203 , 204 , 205 , 206 are preferably designed as feed bowls.

By providing individual buffer units 221 , 222 , 223 , 224 , 225 , 226 for the individual upper feed container 201 , 202 , 203 , 204 , 205 , 206 it is possible to use the top feed bin 201 , 202 , 203 , 204 , 205 , 206 Dosing the amount of feed to be dispensed individually. It is also preferably provided that the buffer units 221 , 222 , 223 , 224 , 225 , 226 via a trigger mechanism, for example in the form of cables 241 , 243 , 245 , can be triggered at the same time. In this way, the male poultry in the entire poultry farm 1 , but at least on the same animal stay level 1000 , 2000 , 3000 , provided food at the same time, so that there is no unrest in the poultry farming device due to different feeding times 1 is coming.

The procedure 600 for poultry farming includes in the first step 1001 the provision of an animal residency level 1000 , 2000 , 3000 with an animal floor 1010 . In a second step 6002 becomes a lower feeding system 1100 , 2100 , 3100 with lower feed containers 1110 , 2110 , 3110 provided and in a third step 6003 upper feed system 200 with a first and a second upper feed container 201 , 202 provided. In the fourth step 6004 finally becomes the first upper feed container 201 loaded with a first upper feed dose and the second upper feed container 202 with a second upper feed dose, the first and the second upper feed dose being different from one another.

With the poultry farming device described here 1 and the procedure described here 600 for poultry farming there is a special and specific feeding of the male poultry for each compartment 1000A , 1000B , 2000A , 2000B , 3000A , 3000B enables. This offers the great advantage that the desired level of activity / mating of the male poultry can be set by the separate sex feeding and thus an optimization of the mating / fertility rate is made possible. By simultaneously triggering the buffer units 221 , 222 , 223 , 224 , 225 , 226 and thus the simultaneous provision of feed in all feed containers 201 , 202 , 203 , 204 , 205 , 206 of the upper feed system 200 all male poultry are fed at the same time, which leads to rapid feeding and calm behavior of the male poultry, which in turn contributes to rest in the entire herd.
