Grate floor made of grate bars for cattle stalls

The invention relates to a grate floor composed of grate bars for livestock stalls.

For the housing of breeding pigs are grid-like Grate floors known where flat iron is used as rods will. Such bars have the advantage that a good standing surface is formed for the pigs, which also reduces the risk of injury decreased because the animals can no longer step through the bars. However, the disadvantage is in Buy that grate floors made of flat iron at least on the underside of the rods cannot be cleaned properly, which is necessary in order to comply with the requirements Cleanliness would be absolutely necessary because of the feces of the build up Animals constantly falls through the grate floors.

The invention is based on the object _? to find a grate floor that offers the animals sufficient standing space and can also be cleaned properly on the underside, for example with a water jet.

This object has been achieved according to the invention in that the grate bars are round profiles with an upper, chord-shaped Are flattening.

The flat area offers a sufficiently large standing area to avoid the risk of injury to the animals. The remaining The round profile of the grate bars offers the advantage that the gap between the individual bars extends downwards in the direction of the fall de- animal feces expanded so that one was at a shallow angle A water jet directed against the bottom of the grate from above can also clean the undersides of the grate bars.

While all grate bars are placed parallel to one another on a frame in normal grate floors, the one according to the invention is characterized In addition to the use of round profiles, the grate floor is also characterized by the fact that it has areas of different grate bar orientation Has. Especially in pig breeding, where mother sows are stabled in farrowing pens on the grate floor it is an advantage if the bars are outside the piglet guard parallel to the body of the sow standing in the pen, because the suckling piglets are then can then brace against these bars running across them. The grate bars are transverse within the compulsory pen for the sow aligned to the body of the sow, whereby this can also brace itself advantageously against the bars when they lie down or stand up vri.ll. This creates a risk of injury of the sow and her piglets by, for example,

wise slipping and falling of the sows is reduced, in which otherwise piglets can easily be crushed. Me Piglets themselves can also fall faster due to the longitudinal rods that are advantageously aligned for them Dodge the mother sow.

An exemplary embodiment of the invention, from which further inventive features arise, is shown in the drawing shown.

Show it:

which is formed from a frame Λ which is spanned by grate bars 2 running in the longitudinal direction. With 3 a feeding stand arranged on the head side of the grate floor is designated and with 4 the side to the feeding stand arranged, rearwardly projecting bracket for the forced pen of a mother sow. !

From the drawing it can be seen that the area between the brackets, that is, the position of the mother sow, with transverse to grate bars 5 aligned with their installation direction is covered. The rear end between the brackets 4 is not covered with transverse grate bars because the Hind legs of a lying sow on those that are oriented transversely

Eost rods 2 (or 5) are round rods that have a sine-shaped cover on the upper side in order to enlarge the standing area for the pent-up animals. 1 with the frame supporting the grate bars is referred to.
