Description
DK 159903 BDK 159903 B
5 Opfindelsen angår en fremgangsmåde til at afmærke og/eller påføre medikamentel behandling i form af stof, såsom pulver, pasta eller væske, til et vildt dyr, for eksempel hjortevildt eller vildsvin, ved hjælp af et apparat omfattende en galge med en passage.The invention relates to a method of marking and / or applying drug treatment in the form of substance, such as powder, paste or liquid, to a wild animal, for example deer or wild boar, by means of an apparatus comprising a gallows with a passage.
10 Både tamme og vilde dyr er udsat for sygdomme, der forårsages af parasitter. Sygdommene svækker dyrene, hvorfor der fremkommer et indtægtstab ved kvægavl med tamme dyr, såsom køer og grise, og et mindre udbytte ved hjorte- og 15 vildsvinej agt eller ved avl af tilsvarende vildt.10 Both domestic and wild animals are exposed to diseases caused by parasites. The diseases weaken the animals, which results in a loss of income from cattle breeding with domestic animals, such as cows and pigs, and a smaller yield by deer and wild boar or by similar breeding.
Ved avl af tamme dyr, såsom køer, får, geder, svin og høns, må man for at forhindre, at dyrene bliver syge, eller for at helbrede deres sygdomme, så man imødegår nævnte 20 indtægtstab, anvende forskellige medikamenter og antibiotika, som indgives i form af piller eller ved indsprøjtning under dyrets hud.When breeding domestic animals, such as cows, sheep, goats, pigs and chickens, to prevent the animals from getting sick or to cure their illnesses to counteract those 20 loss of income, use various medications and antibiotics administered in the form of pills or by injection under the animal's skin.
Dette lader sig gøre forholdsvis let ved avl af tamme dyr, 25 selv om indgivelsen af medikamenter er forbundet med omkostninger til personale, der er kvalificeret til at indgive medikamenterne.This can be done relatively easily in breeding domestic animals, although the administration of medication is associated with costs to staff qualified to administer the medication.
For at nedsætte omkostningerne ved kvægavl har man frem-30 bragt apparater til en automatiseret indgivelse af piller til tamme dyr. Et sådant apparat kendes for eksempel fra US patentskrift nr. 4.617.876, hvor køer forsynes med et øremærke, der bærer en kode til angivelse af oplysninger om den pågældende ko. Når koen kommer ind i stalden, erIn order to reduce the cost of cattle breeding, apparatus for the automated administration of pills to domestic animals has been produced. Such an apparatus is known, for example, from US Patent No. 4,617,876, where cows are provided with an ear tag bearing a code for indicating information about the cow in question. When the cow enters the stable, is
2 DK 159903 B2 DK 159903 B
øremærket også indrettet til at aktivere et modtageorgan til at aflæse data om koen, hvorefter modtageorganet aktiverer et styreorgan til at udlevere den rigtige fodermængde til koen i overensstemmelse med en forud 5 fastlagt foderplan, idet denne eventuelt også kan omfatte medikamenter, som koen skal have indgivet sammen med foderet. Styreorganet omfatter også en hukommelse, som kan registrere, opbevare og eventuelt senere videregive data, som under fodringen registreres om koen. Disse data kan 10 være koens vægt, idet der i staldens båse er anbragt veje-celler i gulvet. Styreorganet er også indrettet til efter fodringen at kunne dirigere koen tilbage til yderligere græsning i det fri eller at lede koen ind til en særskilt fold, hvorfra koen kan føres til malkning, bedækning eller 15 slagtning.the ear tag also arranged to activate a receiving means for reading the cow data, after which the receiving means activates a control means to deliver the correct feed quantity to the cow in accordance with a predetermined feeding schedule, which may also include medications which the cow must have administered together with the feed. The control means also includes a memory which can record, store and possibly later transmit data which is recorded about the cow during feeding. These data may be the weight of the cow, with weighing cells being placed in the floor of the barn. The control means is also adapted to be able to direct the cow back to further grazing after feeding, or to guide the cow into a separate fold from which the cow can be fed for milking, covering or slaughter.
Dette apparat er ikke egnet til anvendelse ved afmærkning og/eller medikamentel behandling af vilde dyr.This apparatus is not suitable for use in the marking and / or drug treatment of wild animals.
20 Ved vilde dyr, såsom hjortevildt og vildsvin ville det være en nødvendig forudsætning for anvendelsen af det kendte apparat at indfange de vilde dyr for at forsyne dem med et øremærke og under denne tilfangetagelse at indkode de forskellige data om dyret i øremærket, inden dette anbringes' " 25 på dyret.In wild animals, such as deer and wild boar, it would be a prerequisite for the use of the known apparatus to capture the wild animals to provide them with an ear tag and, during this capture, to encode the various data about the animal in the ear tag before placing it. '"25 on the animal.
En sådan indfangning kan udføres på forskellig måde. Er vildtet indhegnet, kan man drive det ind i en tragtformet fangstfold, hvor vildtet kan fanges med reb eller net, som 30 kastes over vildtet, så man kan fastholde det i nødvendigt omfang.Such capturing can be performed in various ways. If the game is fenced, it can be driven into a funnel-shaped catch fold where the game can be caught with rope or net thrown over the game so that it can be maintained to the required extent.
Erfaringen viser imidlertid, at vilde dyr, som tages til fange på denne måde, ofte reagerer så voldsomt, at de ta-However, experience shows that wild animals captured in this way often react so violently that they

En anden indfangning kan udføres ved hjælp af injektionspile indeholdende bedøvelsesmidler, så vildtet er bevidst-5 løst under anbringelsen af øremærket. Injektionspile er kostbare at anvende, det kan for eksempel anføres, at et enkelt skud med en injektionspil koster mellem 800 og 1200 DKK.Another capture can be performed by means of injection arrows containing anesthetics so that the game is deliberately resolved during the placement of the ear tag. Injection arrows are expensive to use, for example, it can be stated that a single shot with an injection arrow costs between 800 and 1200 DKK.
10 Ved den førstnævnte metode har man samtidigt med indgivelsen kunnet mærke de pågældende dyr, så man kunne skelne dem fra de ubehandlede dyr. Ved den sidstnævnte fremgangsmåde har dette ikke været muligt, så det udelukkende beroede på skyttens evne til at kende dyrene fra 15 hverandre, at vide hvilke af dyrene, der var ubehandlede.10 By the first method, at the time of administration, it was possible to label the animals concerned so that they could be distinguished from the untreated animals. In the latter approach, this was not possible, so that it depended solely on the shooter's ability to know the animals from each other, to know which of the animals were untreated.
Endelig ville det være umuligt at få hjortevildtet, som er meget sky, til at bevæge sig ind i dette kendte apparat, som er en almindelig stald med båse.Finally, it would be impossible to get the deer, which is very shy, to move into this well-known apparatus, which is a common stable with stalls.
2020
Ved kvægavl af tamme dyr har man i de senere år haft midler at imødegå nogle af de anførte sygdomme, hvilke midler har bestået af stoffer, der kunne sprøjtes eller smøres på det pågældende dyrs hud, hvorefter stoffet trængte ind i 25 dyret og derved kunne imødegå visse parasitter såsom indvoldsorm m.m. For på en billig måde at kunne påføre disse stoffer har man tilvejebragt et apparat, som er beskrevet i DE offentliggørelsesskrift nr. 25 44 669. Dette kendte apparat omfatter en galge eller portåbning, som udgør en 30 art passage, der i hver ende er forsynet med fløje, der kan svinges til side af et dyr, når dette drives gennem passagen. Når dyret befinder sig mellem de i bevægelsesretningen forreste og bageste fløje, kan det ønskede stof føres på dyret, så dette kan helbredes. Ved dette kendteIn cattle breeding of domestic animals, in recent years there have been means to counter some of the listed diseases, which have consisted of substances that could be sprayed or lubricated on the skin of the animal concerned, after which the substance penetrated into the animal and thereby countered. certain parasites such as intestinal worms etc. In order to be able to apply these substances in a cheap way, there is provided an apparatus described in DE Publication No. 25 44 669. This known apparatus comprises a gallows or door opening which constitutes a 30 kind of passage provided at each end with a wing that can be swung aside by an animal as it is driven through the passage. When the animal is between the anterior and posterior wings, the desired substance can be applied to the animal so that it can be cured. By this known
4 DK 159903 B4 DK 159903 B
apparat er det derfor nødvendigt på forhånd at udpege de dyr, der skal behandles og derefter drive dem enkeltvis gennem apparatet.therefore, it is necessary to identify the animals to be treated in advance and then drive them individually through the apparatus.
5 Dette har ikke været muligt ved vilde dyr, såsom hjortevildt, der ikke lader sig tæmme og heller ikke lader sig drive gennem et apparat af den angivne art, hvor de med hovedet og kroppen skal presse fløjene til side.5 This has not been possible in wild animals, such as deer, which cannot be domesticated, nor can they be driven through an apparatus of the specified kind, where they must press the wings with their head and body.
10 Formålet med opfindelsen er at angive en fremgangsmåde til afmærkning og/eller medikamentel behandling af vilde dyr, såsom hjortevildt eller vildsvin, hvilken fremgangsmåde er væsentligt billigere end de hidtil kendte fremgangsmåder og uden de anførte ulemper ved de kendte apparater, hvor-15 hos behandlingen skal ske automatisk uden en konstant o-vervågning eller indgribning fra personel.The object of the invention is to provide a method for marking and / or drug treatment of wild animals, such as deer or wild boar, which method is substantially cheaper than the known methods and without the stated disadvantages of the known apparatus, wherein in the treatment must be done automatically without a constant o-surveillance or intervention by personnel.
Dette formål opnås med fremgangsmåden ifølge opfindelsen, hvilken fremgangsmåde er særegen ved, at man opstiller 20 galgen over en af dyret benyttet veksel, at man i passagen anbringer måleorganer indrettet til at kunne måle data om dyret og dets bevægelse gennem galgen, og at man forbinder måleorganerne med et styreorgan udformet til på grundlag af nævnte data gennem en dyse at blæse eller sprøjte stof-25 fet på ryggen af det vilde dyr.This object is achieved by the method according to the invention, which is characterized in that the gallows are arranged over an exchange used by the animal, that the measuring means are arranged in the passage for measuring data about the animal and its movement through the gallows and that it is connected the measuring means having a control means designed to blow or spray the substance 25 onto the back of the wild animal through a nozzle.
Ved at gå frem på den angivne måde, er det muligt at automatisere indgivelse af medikamenter på de enkelte vilde dyr uden indgriben af menneskehænder, idet man ved vilde 30 dyr opstiller apparatet over en vildtveksel, som dyrene naturligt følger på deres vej mellem fodrings- og vandingssteder .By proceeding in the manner indicated, it is possible to automate the administration of medications to the individual wild animals without human intervention, by setting up the apparatus over a wild exchange which the animals naturally follow on their path between feeding and feeding. irrigation sites.
Ved at anvende måleorganerne til at bestemme dyrets højde,By using the measuring means to determine the height of the animal,
5 DK 159903 B5 DK 159903 B
længde, bevægelsesretning og vægt, som omhandlet i krav 2, og at lade styreorganet styre mængden af det af dysen udblæste eller udsprøjtede stof i afhængighed af de målte data, opnår man, at få mængden af stoffet afpasset efter 5 dyrets størrelse, og at stoffet kun blæses eller udsprøjtes, når dyret bevæger sig i den tilsigtede bevægelsesretning igennem passagen, så stoffet ikke udsprøjtes eller udblæses, når dyret bevæger sig i den modsatte retning.length, direction of movement and weight as defined in claim 2, and allowing the control means to control the amount of the nozzle ejected or ejected in dependence on the measured data, one obtains the amount of the substance adapted to the size of the animal and that the substance is blown or ejected only when the animal is moving in the intended direction of movement through the passage so that the substance is not ejected or ejected when the animal is moving in the opposite direction.

De målte data kan også anvendes til at afgøre, om dyret er blevet behandlet inden for et passende tidsrum forud for dyrets nuværende passage, så det ikke skal behandles påny, eller om dette tidsrum er overskrevet, så dyret skal have 15 en ny injektion.The measured data can also be used to determine whether the animal has been treated within a suitable period prior to the current passage of the animal so as not to be re-treated, or whether this period has been overwritten so that the animal needs a new injection.
Opfindelsen angår også et apparat af den i krav 3’s indledning angivne art til brug ved udøvelse af den nævnte fremgangsmåde, hvilket apparat ifølge opfindelsen er 20 særegent ved, at der i passagen er anbragt måleorganer indrettet til at kunne måle data om dyret og dets bevægelse gennem galgen, hvorhos galgen har et med måleorganerne forbundet styreorgan udformet til på grundlag af de målte data gennem en dyse at blæse eller sprøjte stoffet på ryg-25 gen af det vilde dyr.The invention also relates to an apparatus of the kind specified in the preamble of claim 3 for use in the practice of said method, which apparatus according to the invention is peculiar in that measuring means are arranged in the passage for measuring data about the animal and its movement through the gallows, wherein the gallows has a control means associated with the measuring means for blowing or spraying the substance on the back of the wild animal on the basis of the measured data.
Herved har man opnået et velegnet apparat til brug ved udøvelse af den omhandlede fremgangsmåde uden, at man ved påføringen skræmmer dyret unødigt, og uden at stoffet kom-30 mer ind i dyrets øjne, hvor det kunne virke irriterende.Hereby, a suitable apparatus has been obtained for use in the practice of the present process without unnecessarily frightening the animal during application and without entering the substance into the animal's eyes, where it may appear irritating.
Opfindelsen skal forklares nærmere i det følgende under henvisning til tegningen, der skematisk viser en udførelsesform for et apparat ifølge opfindelsen til brug ved ud-The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to the drawing, which schematically shows an embodiment of an apparatus according to the invention for use in the invention.

øvelse af den opfindelsesmæssige fremgangsmåde.practice of the inventive method.
Apparatet kan bestå af en galge 2, der for eksempel har to opstående stolper 3, 4, der er forbundet med en overligger 5 5, hvorved der er dannet en portåbning eller passage, hvorigennem et dyr kan passere.The apparatus may consist of a hanger 2 having, for example, two upright posts 3, 4 connected to a bar 5, thereby forming a doorway or passage through which an animal can pass.
Apparatet kan også bestå af naturligt forekommende genstande, såsom to træer, der står ud for hinanden på hver 10 sin side af en sti, som vilde dyr følger på deres vej til og fra et vandingssted og/eller et fodringssted, hvilke træer udnyttes som de opstående stolper 3, 4, idet overliggeren kan udgøres af en gren på et af træerne, hvilken gren sidder i en rimelig højde over stien.The apparatus may also consist of naturally occurring objects, such as two trees facing each other on either side of a path that wild animals follow on their way to and from a watering place and / or a feeding site, which trees are utilized as they are. upright posts 3, 4, the overlap being constituted by a branch on one of the trees, which branch sits at a reasonable height above the path.
15 På stolperne 3, 4 er der overfor hinanden anbragt en plade 6 henholdsvis 7, hvilke plader bærer måleorganer, som er indrettet til at kunne detektere et dyrs passage imellem pladerne.On the posts 3, 4 are arranged opposite each other a plate 6 and 7 respectively, which plates carry measuring means which are arranged to detect an animal's passage between the plates.
20 Måleorganerne kan for eksempel være på pladen 6 anbragte lysgivere 8, der kan udsende synligt eller usynligt lys mod fotoceller 9, som er anbragt på pladen 7.For example, the measuring means may be light emitters 8 arranged on the plate 6, which can emit visible or invisible light against photocells 9 arranged on the plate 7.
25 Passerer et dyr imellem de to plader 6 og 7, vil dyrets krop afbryde lysstråler, der udsendes fra lysgiverne 8 mod fotocellerne 9, hvorved man vil kunne få et signal, der angiver et dyrs passage.If an animal passes between the two plates 6 and 7, the animal's body will interrupt light rays emitted from the light emitters 8 towards the photocells 9, thereby obtaining a signal indicating an animal's passage.
30 En lysgiver 8 kan også være sammenbygget med en fotocelle 9 til at udgøre en samlet enhed, der alene kan anbringes på pladen 6, idet man så på pladen 7 anbringer et reflekterende materiale, såsom et spejl eller en lignende genstand, der kan reflektere en fra lysgiveren 8 udsendt lys- 7A light emitter 8 may also be assembled with a photocell 9 to constitute an assembled unit which can only be placed on the plate 6, then placing on the plate 7 a reflective material, such as a mirror or similar object, which may reflect a light emitted from light emitter 8

På denne måde vil man kunne formindske omfanget af på tegningen ikke viste ledere af enhver art, der skal føre im-5 pulser fra fotocellen 9 til det nedenfor beskrevne styreorgan 16. Disse ledere kan være elektriske ledninger, der kan føre impulser i form af elektriske spændinger, lyslederkabler, der kan føre impulser i form af lysglimt, eller andre former for ledere.In this way, it is possible to reduce the extent of conductors not shown in the drawing to conduct pulses from the photocell 9 to the control means 16 described below. These conductors may be electrical wires which can conduct pulses in the form of electrical voltages, fiber-optic cables that can trigger pulses in the form of flashes of light, or other types of conductors.

Det er vigtigt at kunne bestemme et dyrs passageretning gennem galgen 2, idet hvis man alene anvender en enkelt lysgiver 8 og en enkelt fotocelle 9 under alle omstændigheder vil få udsprøjtet medikamentet, uden at dette nød-15 vendigvis træffer dyrets ryg, men eksempelvis bliver udblæst over dets hoved, hvad der måske kan være ubehageligt eller måske endda skadeligt for dyret, hvis det omhandlede stof er farligt at få i øjnene, eller eventuelt kan udsprøjtningen finde sted foran dyret, hvorved stoffet ville 20 være spildt.It is important to be able to determine the direction of passage of an animal through the gallows 2, since using only a single light emitter 8 and a single photocell 9 will in any case cause the drug to be sprayed without necessarily hitting the animal's back, but being blown out, for example. over its head, what may be uncomfortable or even harmful to the animal if the substance in question is dangerous to the eyes, or possibly the injection may take place in front of the animal, whereby the substance would be spilled.
For at afgøre bevægelsesretningen for et dyr, anbringer man i samme højde over jordoverfladen flere lysgivere 8 henholdsvis fotoceller 9, hvorved det er muligt på grund-25 lag af hvilken lysstråle, der først er blevet afbrudt, at afgøre dyrets bevægelsesretning.To determine the direction of movement of an animal, at the same height above the ground surface, several light emitters 8 and photocells 9, respectively, are placed, whereby it is possible to determine, on the basis of which light beam which has been interrupted first, the direction of movement of the animal.
Har man således på pladen 6 anbragt lysgivere 8a og 8b ved de på tegningen viste steder og tilsvarende fotoceller 9a, 30 9b på pladen 7, vil man kunne fastslå, at et dyr har bevæget sig i den med pilen 10 antydede retning, hvis lysstrålen mellem lysgiveren 8a og fotocellen 9a afbrydes før end lysstrålen mellem lysgiveren 8b og fotocellen 9b.Thus, if light emitters 8a and 8b are placed on the plate 6 at the places shown in the drawing and corresponding photocells 9a, 9b on the plate 7, it can be determined that an animal has moved in the direction indicated by the arrow 10 if the light beam between the light emitter 8a and the photocell 9a are interrupted sooner than the light beam between the light emitter 8b and the photocell 9b.
8 DK 1t>99U5 d På tilsvarende vis vil man, hvis man anvender par af lysgivere 8 og fotoceller 9, der sidder i forskellige vandrette højder over jorden, kunne afgøre et dyrs højde og dermed dets størrelse. Dette medfører dog, at man må tage 5 i betragtning, at et dyr kan gå både med løftet og med sænket hoved, hvorved man ville få et forkert billede af dyrets størrelse. Dette kan man imødegå ved at anvende et på tegningen ikke vist vejeorgan, såsom en vejecelle, hvis data sammen med de af de andre måleorganer indhentede data 10 kan tjene til at fastslå arten af det pågældende dyr.8 DK 1t> 99U5 d Similarly, if you use pairs of light emitters 8 and photocells 9 that sit at different horizontal heights above the ground, it will be possible to determine the height of an animal and thus its size. However, this means that you have to take into account 5 that an animal can go with both the raised and lowered head, which would give a wrong picture of the size of the animal. This can be countered by using a weighing device not shown in the drawing, such as a weighing cell, the data of which together with the data 10 obtained by the other measuring means can serve to determine the nature of the animal concerned.
Dette har betydning, hvis mængden af det omhandlede stof skal påføres i en dosis, der afhænger af dyrets størrelse og vægt, der som regel vil være proportional med dets høj-15 de.This is important if the amount of the substance in question is to be applied at a dose depending on the size and weight of the animal, which will usually be proportional to its height.
Der kan også være tale om forskellige dyrearter, der kan passere gennem galgen 2. Det kan således tænkes, at der gennem galgen 2 passerer både hjortevildt og vildsvin.There may also be different species of animals that can pass through the gallows 2. Thus, it is conceivable that through the gallows 2 both deer and wild boar pass.
20 På tegningen er der kun angivet en første 8a og en anden lysgiver 8b, men det vil være klart, at man ved anbringelse af i alt tre lysgivere 8 i samme vandrette højde med tilhørende fotoceller 9 på den modstående plade 7 vil kun-25 ne opnå et mål for dyrets hastighed, længde og højde, hvorved man opnår mulighed for på grundlag af erfaringsmæssigt indhentede data at kunne afgøre, hvilken dyreart, der passerer gennem passagen.20 In the drawing, only a first 8a and a second light emitter 8b are indicated, but it will be clear that by placing a total of three light emitters 8 at the same horizontal height with corresponding photocells 9 on the opposite plate 7, only 25 achieve a measure of the speed, length and height of the animal, thereby enabling it to be able, on the basis of experience gained, to determine which animal species passes through the passage.
30 I det foranstående er måleorganerne omtalt som lysgivere 8, der kan udsende enten synlige eller usynlige lysstråler mod fotoceller 9, så en impuls fremkommer, når lysstrålerne afbrydes ved et dyrs passage.30 In the foregoing, the measuring means are referred to as light emitters 8 which can emit either visible or invisible light rays towards photocells 9 so that an impulse is produced when the light rays are interrupted at the passage of an animal.
g DK 159903 Bg DK 159903 B
Denne eksempelvise angivelse af måleorganernes art skal ikke anses som begrænsende for opfindelsen, idet enhver form for sensorer, der kan reagere på tilstedeværelsen af et dyr, vil kunne anvendes i stedet for de nævnte lysgive-5 re 8 og fotoceller 9.This exemplary indication of the nature of the measuring means is not to be construed as limiting the invention, since any kind of sensors which can respond to the presence of an animal may be used in place of said light sensors 8 and photocells 9.
I forbindelse med galgen 2 er der anbragt et styreorgan 16, der for eksempel kan være anbragt på den opstående stolpe 4. Dette styreorgan 16 er indrettet til at kunne 10 modtage data, der angiver, at en eller flere lysstråler mellem lysgiverne 8 og fotocellerne 9 er blevet afbrudt, idet styreorganet kan være en datamat af almindelig kendt art.In connection with the gallows 2 there is arranged a control means 16, which may for example be arranged on the upright post 4. This control means 16 is arranged to be able to receive data indicating that one or more light rays between the light emitters 8 and the photocells 9 has been interrupted, the control means being a computer of a generally known nature.
15 Når styreorganet 16 modtager data, der angiver, at et dyr passerer, er styreorganet udformet til at kunne give en impuls til et på tegningen ikke vist ventilorgan, som for eksempel kan være en elektrisk betjenelig magnetventil. Denne impuls åbner for en udblæsningsdyse 11, der kan være 20 anbragt på overliggeren 5, eller på en bjælke 12, der strækker sig i passagens længderetning og er fastgjort til overliggeren 5.When the control means 16 receives data indicating that an animal is passing, the control means is designed to impart a pulse to a valve member not shown in the drawing, which may be, for example, an electrically operable solenoid valve. This impulse opens for a blowout nozzle 11, which may be 20 disposed on the bar 5, or on a beam 12 extending longitudinally of the passage and attached to the bar 5.
Styreorganet 16 indeholder tidsforsinkelsesorganer, der er 25 udformet til at forsinke den til magnetventilen afsendte impuls i så lang tid, at udblæsningsdysen 11 udleverer det omhandlede stof netop, når dyrets ryg befinder sig neden under dysen 11. Denne tidsforsinkelse må endvidere gøres afhængig af en af måleorganerne 8, 9 og styreorganet 16 30 eventuel fastlagt hastighed for dyrets bevægelse gennem galgen 2, ligesom varigheden af magnetventilens åbningstid må sættes i relation til dyrets eventuelle bevægelseshastighed.The control means 16 contains time delay means which are designed to delay the momentum transmitted to the solenoid valve for such a long time that the exhaust nozzle 11 delivers the substance in question just when the animal's back is below the nozzle 11. This time delay must also be made dependent on one of the the measuring means 8, 9 and the control means 16 may determine any rate of movement of the animal through the gallows 2, and the duration of the opening time of the solenoid valve must be related to the possible movement speed of the animal.

Udblæsningsdysen 11 står i forbindelse med en tryktæt beholder 13, der er anbragt på overliggeren 5 eller på bjælken 12. Beholderen 13 er indrettet til at kunne rumme en passende portion af det stof, der skal føres på de dyr, 5 der skal behandles. Den tryktætte beholder 13 er udformet til at kunne sættes under tryk ved hjælp af et trykgivende organ 14, der for eksempel kan være en håndbetjent pumpe med et håndtag 15 eller en ganske almindelig cykelpumpe.The exhaust nozzle 11 communicates with a pressure-tight container 13 disposed on the bar 5 or on the beam 12. The container 13 is arranged to accommodate an appropriate portion of the substance to be fed to the animals 5 to be treated. The pressure-tight container 13 is designed to be pressurized by a pressure-relieving means 14, which may be, for example, a hand-operated pump with a handle 15 or a very ordinary bicycle pump.
10 Herved er det muligt med passende mellemrum, at sætte beholderen 13 under et passende indvendigt tryk ved hjælp af pumpeorganet 14 og håndtaget 15, så stoffet, der indeholdes i beholderen 13, kan blæses ud gennem dysen 11, hvadenten stoffet foreligger som pulver, pasta eller væske.Hereby it is possible, at appropriate intervals, to put the container 13 under a suitable internal pressure by means of the pump means 14 and the handle 15, so that the substance contained in the container 13 can be blown out through the nozzle 11, whether the substance is powder, paste. or liquid.

Ved at anvende et håndbetjent pumpeorgan 14 undgår man behovet for egentlige kraftkilder, såsom elektrisk spænding på stedet, hvor galgen er opstillet, idet denne ofte er opstillet på steder, hvor elektrisk spænding ikke er umid-20 delbart tilgængelig.By using a hand-operated pump means 14, the need for actual power sources, such as electrical voltage at the location where the gallows is installed, is avoided, as it is often located at places where electrical voltage is not readily available.
I modsætning hertil kan styreorganet 16, lysgiverne 8 og fotocellerne 9 udføres så lidet energikrævende, at de vil kunne strømforsynes ved hjælp af et batteri.In contrast, the control means 16, the light emitters 8 and the photocells 9 can be designed so low in energy that they can be powered by a battery.

Ved hjælp af den på overliggeren 5 anbragte bjælke 12 er det muligt at anvende flere udblæsningsdyser 11 og flere trykbeholdere 13, så man kan udsprøjte eller udblæse flere forskellige stoffer. Udsprøjtningen kan omfatte et enkelt 30 stof ad gangen eller eventuelt flere stoffer samtidigt i afhængighed af de data, der måles om dyret.By means of the beam 12 mounted on the overlay 5, it is possible to use several blowout nozzles 11 and several pressure vessels 13, so that several different substances can be sprayed or blown out. The injection may comprise a single 30 substance at a time or possibly several substances simultaneously depending on the data measured about the animal.
Udover måleorganerne i form af lysgivere 8 og fotoceller 9 kan måleorganerne 8, 9 omfatte organer, der er indrettet 11In addition to the measuring means in the form of light emitters 8 and photocells 9, the measuring means 8, 9 may comprise means arranged 11

til at bestemme en eventuel på dyret udsprøjtet farve, så styreorganet kan få tilført data, der angiver, at dyret har fået udsprøjtet det pågældende medikament.to determine a possible color sprayed on the animal so that the control means can be fed data indicating that the animal has sprayed the drug in question.
5 Selv om der ovenfor er omtalt, at man kan mærke dyret ved at påføre det en bestemt farve, er det også muligt at mærke det med stoffer, der kan identificere dyret på anden måde, for eksempel ved at påføre dyret et genkendeligt duftstof, der kan detekteres med dertil indrettede senso-10 rer.Although it is mentioned above that one can label the animal by applying it to a certain color, it is also possible to label it with substances that can identify the animal in another way, for example by applying the animal a recognizable fragrance substance which can be detected with sensors adapted thereto.
Det ligger derfor inden for opfindelsens ramme at udsprøjte et medikament eller at mærke dyret på en sådan måde, at måleorganerne kan konstatere, hvilket dyr det er, 15 så det bliver muligt på grundlag af en i styreorganet 16 indbygget hukommelse at afgøre, om dyret påny skal have en dosis.Therefore, it is within the scope of the invention to inject a drug or to label the animal in such a way that the measuring means can determine which animal it is, 15 so that it is possible to determine on the basis of a memory built into the control means 16 whether the animal again must have a dose.
Af tilvænningsgrunde kan det være nødvendigt altid at på-20 føre de passerende dyr en eller anden form for dosis. Denne dosis kan i så fald være fuldstændig uskadelig, idet den kan omfatte en udsprøjtning af almindelig vand, som kun giver dyret en følelse af en påvirkning.For reasons of habituation, it may be necessary to always apply to the passing animals some form of dose. In this case, this dose may be completely harmless as it may comprise a spray of ordinary water which only gives the animal a feeling of influence.
25 Styreorganet 16 kan også udbygges på en sådan måde, at det kan lagre oplysninger om de enkelte dyr, der er passeret gennem apparatet, hvilke oplysninger senere kan udlæses og anvendes til udarbejdelse af statistik over dyrene, deres antal, deres passage gennem apparatet, hvornår de har fået 30 påført stof og i hvilken mængde m.m.The control means 16 can also be expanded in such a way that it can store information about the individual animals that have passed through the apparatus, which information can later be read out and used to compile statistics on the animals, their numbers, their passage through the apparatus, when they have received 30 applied substance and in what amount mm
