Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention improves the health of animals such as cattle, horses, pigs, and chickens by improving the environment inside the animal house, and promotes growth, fattening, breeding, and the like. The present invention relates to a method for improving the productivity of livestock products such as meat, eggs and dairy products.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Ultrasonic humidifiers have become widespread as a simple device for diffusing mist droplets into a room to humidify them in order to increase the humidity inside a dried animal house. The droplets of the mist generated by this device are usually about 0.5 μm to 15 μm.
m. In the case of mist droplets of this size, the time from spraying to falling to the floor is fast, water droplets emitted from the ultrasonic humidifier adhere around the device, and May be like this. In addition, the water droplets may fog the window glass or make the animal's skin or partition fence sticky.

On the other hand, in a living room of a human being, an aqueous solution of a drug is converted into ultra-fine particles of about 0.1 μm to about 0.01 μm (about the same as the size of a virus) so as to spread the liquid medicine to every corner of the living space. A device is provided for spraying various chemicals for indoor antibacterial and bacteria elimination purposes. The device for generating ultra-fine water particles has a structure in which water is made ultra-fine by applying water to a gyro that is rotated at an ultra-high speed, and the particles of the ultra-fine aqueous solution are released from a discharge port.

[0004] Fine water particles having a particle size of 0.5 µm or less (as shown in Table 2),
When it becomes a mist of about μm), it does not settle out of the air and floats in the air for a long time without falling to the floor. Further, there is an advantage that even when the fine water droplets adhere to the surroundings, the liquid crystal is hardly wet, and there is no touch such as fogging of a window glass or sticky furniture.

The inventor of the present invention has proposed that in the above-described apparatus for generating ultrafine water particles, water can be made ultrafine by rotating a gyro. However, there is a difference in the generation of negative ions depending on the direction of rotation. We found that a large number of negative ions were generated when the direction was clockwise.

[0006] Negative ions are known to have a blood purifying action, a cell stimulating action, an increase in resistance, and an autonomic nervous control action on the human body. Conventionally, in order to generate negative ions, a method using a discharge electrode has been adopted so far.For example, a method using corona discharge between electrodes in an air purifier as a method for obtaining negative ions has been implemented. However, since the negative ions obtained by the device are charged and diffused by gas, the positive ions on the walls and the like cannot be absorbed in a short time and stay in the room for a long time.
Further, it has a drawback such as generation of ozone harmful to the human body at the time of discharge.

The inventor of the present invention has noticed that the device for generating ultrafine water particles can produce negative ions but does not generate ozone at all, and if it is good for humans, good results should be obtained for animals. Based on this belief, we have been conducting intensive research on how to use the ultrafine water particle generator in livestock and other production facilities.

[0008]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and diffuses ultrafine mist-like water particles bearing negative ions into the interior of an animal house, and uses the ultrafine particles to produce the animal house. Effective for improving the environment of the shop, improving the constitution of animals by the action of negative ions, increasing the fattening of animals such as cows, horses, pigs, chickens, and the productivity of animal products such as milk, birth, egg laying etc. It provides a method.

[0009]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention is to continuously or intermittently discharge and diffuse mist of non-sedimenting fine water charged with negative ions into an animal house. Humidifies the indoor air and negatively ionizes it to purify the air, and also attaches the fine water in the air to the air contact surface of the animal body in the house to give moisture to the air contact surface and charge negative ions. And improving the animal constitution and improving the productivity of animal products by improving the environment of an animal house using a mist of fine water.

In the above structure, the particle diameter of the non-settling fine water is about 0.2 to 0.001 μm.

Further, in the above structure, the method of intermittently discharging and diffusing the non-settling fine water mist sets an upper limit and a lower limit of the humidity, and starts and stops the operation so as to maintain the set range. It is characterized by intermittent control.

[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Embodiments of the present invention will be specifically described below with reference to the drawings. The present invention, as shown in FIG.
A mist of non-sedimenting fine water having a particle diameter of about 0.2 to 0.001 μm, which is charged to negative ions, is continuously or intermittently released and diffused in the house 1 of animals such as pigs and chickens. The air inside is humidified and ionized negatively to purify the air. The fine water in the air adheres to the air contact surface of the animal body in the house 1 to give moisture to the air contact surface and to charge the negative ions, thereby improving the animal constitution and being obtained by the animal. Improve the quality and yield of products such as meat, milk and eggs.

The method of intermittently discharging and diffusing the non-settling fine water mist is described by setting an upper limit and a lower limit of the humidity in the building 1 and operating and stopping the same so as to maintain the set range. Is controlled intermittently.

According to the present invention, about 0.2 to about 0.2
A description will be given of a water ultrafine device for efficiently obtaining a mist of ultrafine water of 0.001 μm. As shown in FIG. 2, the water ultra-micronizing device 2 is operated by a motor through an accelerator.
By applying water guided from a water storage tank 3 attached thereto via a water distribution channel 4 to a metal rotor (gyro) rotated at an ultra-high speed, the water 5 is refined to form water droplets. From about 0.2μm by cyclone method
Only invisible ultrafine water particles of 0.001 μm can be taken out and the fine water can be made into a mist 6 and released from the discharge port 7.

There is a theory that when water is made ultrafine, the interior of the microdroplet becomes a positive ion group and the surface becomes a negative ion group. When the particle size of the negative ion particles of the fine water mist 6 obtained by the water ultra-micronizing device 2 is measured, the following Table 1 is obtained. It can be seen that negative ions are attached to the surface of the water particles as shown in FIG. In the present invention, the effect can be obtained even with a mist carrying negative ions of non-sedimenting fine water of about 0.5 μm, but floating fine water that does not settle more reliably by making it finer than about 0.2 μm. And a high negative ionization effect can be obtained.

In Table 1 above, 90% or more is 0.3 μm
The following micronized water is shown, and even if the outlet is covered with tissue paper during its release, it will not be wet at all. The size of the fine water particles is as shown in Table 2 below when compared with the sizes of other particles for reference.

Further, as a result of experiments on the fine water with the generator 2 of the mist 6, there is a difference in the generation of negative ions depending on the rotation direction of the gyro, and when the rotation direction is clockwise, it is larger than when it is counterclockwise. Many negative ions were generated. Water hits a rotating gyro, and water molecular masses (large clusters) are divided into small clusters to form small clusters. At that time, negative ions are generated, and especially under the influence of the direction of the earth's geomagnetism, the water rotates. If the direction of movement is clockwise, the current in the axial direction is excited and effectively more negative ions are generated. Conversely, if the direction of movement is counterclockwise, the current in the axial direction is generated in the opposite direction, which opposes the geomagnetism. It is presumed that the occurrence of is relatively small. Therefore, it is preferable that the rotation direction of the gyro be clockwise in order to obtain many negative ions. In addition, in the conventional ultrasonic humidifier,
Fine water having a particle size of 0.5 μm or less cannot be obtained, and there is no generation of negative ions, so that it cannot be used in the present invention. Table 3 below shows a comparison in which the presence of negative ions was measured in the animal house 1 and at other places.

[0020]

As shown in Table 3 above, very large numbers of negative ions were generated at 80,000 particles / cc near the discharge port of the mist generator, and positive ions were found in general air. This is a normal value, and it can be seen from this that no occurrence has occurred. Also, as shown in FIG.
Table 4 shows the measurement results of negative ions at the center A at a height of 1.30 m within the house 1 when the ions were released into the animal house 1 at 0 m ² .

[0022]

As shown in Table 4 above, the generation of fog in the fine water increased the number of negative ions from 107 / cc to 2,050 / cc, and the humidity also increased from 35.4% to 50.4%. You can see that it was done.

Next, a method for improving the environment in the animal house 1 using the above-mentioned water atomizing device 2 will be described more specifically. As shown in FIG. 1, the clockwise gyro is used. The fine water mist generation and discharge device 2 discharges and diffuses the fine water mist bearing negative ions of about 0.2 μm to 0.001 μm into the house 1 and diffuses the fine water mist 6 for a long time. The interior of the building 1 is changed to a negatively ionized atmosphere by the fine water mist 6 charged with negative ions.

It is preferable that the non-settling fine water mist is always present in the building 1 in a constant amount. However, even if the mist is temporarily removed or supplied, a good atmosphere is restored. To this end, a timer is provided in the fine water mist generation and emission device 2 to intermittently operate and stop every other hour, or an electronic control circuit equipped with a humidity sensor for the fine water mist discharged and diffused. Is provided, the upper and lower limits of the humidity in the building 1 are set, and the operation and stop can be controlled so as to maintain the set range.

The operation and effect of the non-settling fine water used in the present invention are described in the materials of the company which sells a generator ("Lenard Air (trade name)" of Daiwa Health Co., Ltd.). Performance is illustrated. The performance is shown by the following Tables 5, 6, and 7 (technical data for sales of "Lenard Air (trade name)" manufactured by Daiwa Health Co., Ltd.) in the data. This value was measured by a detector tube type gas meter.

Tables 5 and 6 above show the test results in a closed container (size 0.8 × 0.8 × 0.8 m), and Table 7 shows the test results in a closed container (size 1 × 1 × 1 m). It can be seen that it has excellent performance with respect to substances that are easily soluble in water. In experiments comparing the operation of the device with natural damping, ammonia, acetaldehyde, and acetic acid were all effective.
With ammonia there was no spontaneous decay, but all the equipment operated was removed.

According to the present invention, as described above, the negatively-ionized fine water in the house 1 adsorbs floating dust (especially those charged with positive ions) to the surface of the house 1 to form particles of 0.5 to 1 μm or more. The dust that has formed a lump and increased in mass cannot float, and eventually falls to the floor and is removed from the air. The dust in the floating state is gradually adsorbed on the ceiling or wall of the surface of the house 1 having positive ions. The dust thus floating moves and adheres from the air to surrounding floors, ceilings, wall surfaces, and other objects placed in the building 1 by combining with the fine water, thereby achieving air purification. In addition to general airborne (permanent) air dust and sedimentable air dust shown in Table 2 above, air-borne bacteria, bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms that are harmful to health are removed from the air. Thus, the animal is less at risk of contracting an infectious disease.

At this time, the volatile substances which become the odor source together with the dust are also taken in the fine water and are eliminated from the air, so that the odor is eliminated. In addition, if fine water adheres to the floor surface, microorganisms are actively propagated and decomposed in organic matter such as spilled and scattered food and animal dung, so that the generation of bad odor itself is almost eliminated, and the peculiar smell of livestock barns is eliminated. Disappear. In addition, insects such as flies that collect by sniffing are not collected, and the cleanliness in the stable is maintained.

The quantitative control of the non-settling fine water mist is performed by controlling the operation and the stop by providing a timer in the fine water mist generation / discharge device 2 or by providing an electronic control circuit provided with a humidity sensor. Then, the required amount of fine water mist in the house 1 can be maintained.

Conventionally, there has been proposed an apparatus which uses ozone obtained by corona discharge for deodorization. However, ozone itself is harmful to animals, and a negative effect is required to improve the productivity of animal products. Had become. It is also known that animals need moisture on the skin, and that drying the skin weakens skin function. According to the present invention, without harmful ozone generation, the negative ions charged in the fine water that is dispersed and suspended in the livestock penetrate into the lung tissue by contact with the skin surface of the animal or by respiration, and enter the epidermis. It moisturizes and enhances skin function, and negatively ionizes the whole body of the animal to improve its constitution.

When the animal body is negatively ionized, effects such as blood purification, cell activation, increase in resistance, and adjustment of autonomic nervous system can be obtained as in humans. For example, negative ions promote the alkalinization of animal blood, promote electrical and physical exchange of cell membranes, increase calcium in the blood, increase muscle and heart muscle activation, and further increase gamma-globulin. And increase resistance to disease. Furthermore, improve the function of autonomic nerves that control all internal organs, glands, blood vessels and other organs, improve endocrine function,
Hematopoiesis is improved.

[0036] Due to such an effect, the animals are less likely to be exhausted in the barn to lose their physical strength and to lose weight due to anorexia. At night, they sleep well, and during the day, the internal organs work vigorously to increase appetite, increase vitality, livestock animals grow fast and grow well, dairy cows produce high-quality milk, chickens produce many eggs, and animal production. Product productivity is greatly improved. Further, the fine water adheres to the skin and proliferates symbiotic microorganisms living on the skin, thereby inhibiting the growth of malignant microorganisms and guarding the skin, thereby reducing the rate of skin disease infection.
