(着目点)
牛の呼吸器病症候群(BRDC:Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex.以下同様であり、記載を省略する)は、ウイルスおよび細菌等の病原微生物とストレス等による免疫状態の変調が複雑に絡み合って発生し、牛の産業界で最も経済的損失の大きな疾病(症候群)として知られ、呼吸器病症候群は、輸送、群編成、その他環境要因による牛へのストレス感作により、牛伝染性鼻気管炎(IBR)、牛RS(bovine respiratory syncytial virus infection)病、牛パラインフルエンザ(PI3)、牛ウイルス性下痢病(BVD)などのウイルス感染の他に、Mnnheimia haemolytica、Pasteurella multocida、Histophilus somni、Arcanobacterium pyogenesなどの二次ないし三次的細菌感染により、結果として複雑な混合感染による呼吸器疾病が成立するとしている。
(Points of interest)
Bovine respiratory disease syndrome (BRDC: Bovine Respiratory Disease Complex. The same shall apply hereinafter) is caused by complex intertwining of pathogenic microorganisms such as viruses and bacteria and immune status due to stress, etc. Known as the industry's most economically ill disease (syndrome), respiratory disease syndrome is cattle infectious rhinotracheitis (IBR) due to stress sensitization to cattle due to transport, group formation and other environmental factors. In addition to viral infections such as bovine RS (bovine respiratory viral infection) disease, bovine parainfluenza (PI3), bovine viral diarrhea (BVD), Mnnheimia haemolytica, Pasteurella multocida, Haemophilus somni, the secondary or tertiary bacterial infections, such as Arcanobacterium pyogenes, is a respiratory disease is established by complex mixed infections as a result.

また、牛の呼吸器病症候群は、Mycoplasma bovis等の進行過程に関与しており、増悪因子ないし障害を与える先行因子として考えられている(非特許文献1−1参照)。国内における子牛の呼吸器病は、平成22ないし26年度まで、死亡率(4.76〜5.30%)、発病率(37.89〜40.67%)との報告(非特許文献1−2参照)があり、減少する傾向が認められない。さらに米国農務省の呼吸器病調査では、離乳前子牛の呼吸器病による死亡率(非特許文献1−3参照)は、21.3%(1991)、24.5%(1996)、21.3%(2002)、22.5%(2007)と減少傾向が認められない。     In addition, bovine respiratory disease syndrome is involved in a progression process such as Mycoplasma bovis, and is considered as an exacerbating factor or a preceding factor that gives a disorder (see Non-Patent Document 1-1). In Japan, calf respiratory diseases are reported as mortality (4.76-5.30%) and disease incidence (37.89-40.67%) from 2010 to 26 (Non-patent Document 1). -2), and there is no tendency to decrease. In addition, according to the US Department of Agriculture respiratory disease survey, mortality due to respiratory disease in pre-weaned calves (see Non-Patent Documents 1-3) was 21.3% (1991), 24.5% (1996), 21. .3% (2002), 22.5% (2007), no decreasing trend is observed.

呼吸器病症候群は、子牛に最も多く発生し、Mycoplasma bovis等が重要な原因菌(非特許文献1−4参照)となっており、発熱、食欲不振、水様性鼻汁等の一般症候群的呼吸器症状の他に、中耳炎を伴う耳介下垂(Mycoplasma bovis等が関与)の出現が大きな問題となっていて(非特許文献1−5参照)、国内において黒毛和種繁殖牛193頭を飼育する農場では、2008年4〜11月に生まれた129頭の子牛の中、64頭(49.6%)が中耳炎と診断されている(非特許文献1−6参照)。     Respiratory disease syndrome occurs most frequently in calves, and Mycoplasma bovis is an important causative bacterium (see Non-Patent Documents 1 to 4). It is a general syndrome such as fever, loss of appetite, and watery nasal discharge. In addition to respiratory symptoms, the emergence of pinna pits (including Mycoplasma bovis etc.) with otitis media has become a major problem (see Non-Patent Documents 1-5), and domestically breed 193 Japanese black breeding cattle On the farm, 64 (49.6%) of 129 calves born between April and November 2008 were diagnosed with otitis media (see Non-Patent Documents 1-6).

子牛における肺炎などの呼吸器症候群は、その後の発育に大きく影響し、経済的損失の大きい疾病であり、損失としては、・予防のためのワクチン経費、・治療費、・発育遅延、・その後の死亡率の増加等を加算すると、膨大な損失金額となっており(非特許文献1−3参照)、そのための対策として、換気管理と牛床等の衛生管理とを徹底し、より有効な予防・治療プログラム(ワクチネーション、抗生剤等)が実施されるようになってきてはいるものの、前述したように、牛の呼吸器症候群は、これまで減少傾向が認められない疾病である。     Respiratory syndrome such as pneumonia in calves is a disease that has a great impact on the subsequent development and has a large economic loss. The loss includes: vaccine costs for prevention, treatment costs, developmental delay, If the increase in the mortality rate is added, it becomes a huge loss amount (see Non-Patent Document 1-3), and as a countermeasure for that, thorough ventilation management and hygiene management such as cow beds are more effective. Although prevention and treatment programs (vaccinations, antibiotics, etc.) are being implemented, as described above, bovine respiratory syndrome is a disease that has not been shown to decrease.

黒毛和種子牛生産農場において、飼養規模別の疾病状況を見ると、農場規模に関係なく子牛の消化器病の発生率が30%強で推移しているが、子牛の呼吸器病の発生率は、農場規模が大きくなるにしたがって増大しており、さらに、子牛の哺乳形態別呼吸器病の発生率は、自然哺乳農場で0.48%、人工哺乳農場で1.24%と2.5倍以上となっている(非特許文献1−7参照)。
日本の畜産業は、小規模飼育から大規模飼育へと変貌しつつあり、子牛の疾病については、消化器病よりも呼吸器病が増加傾向にあって、その予防対策が求められている。
In the Japanese black cattle production farm, looking at the disease status by breeding scale, regardless of the farm scale, the incidence of digestive disease in calves has remained at over 30%. Incidence increases as farm size increases, and the incidence of respiratory disease by calf's mammal form is 0.48% on natural feeding farms and 1.24% on artificial feeding farms. It is 2.5 times or more (see Non-Patent Document 1-7).
The Japanese livestock industry is changing from small-scale breeding to large-scale breeding. Regarding calf diseases, respiratory diseases are on the rise more than digestive diseases, and preventive measures are required. .

(従来の技術)
こうした状況の中、人工哺乳技術に改良が加えられてこなかった訳ではない。
例えば、下記の特許文献1(1)に提案されているものに代表されるように、基部を有する乳首の垂直の樽部は、基部から上方に延びて湾曲し、上方端に至る形状とし、該樽部上方端は、中央に平坦部を有しており、該基部は、ミルク、代用乳などが流れる腔部を形成する内面および外面を有する壁からなり、乳首は、空気抜きを有し、天然ゴム、合成ゴム、熱可塑性エラストマー、シリコン、または他の高分子化合物のような柔軟性および弾性材料からなり、乳首基部の底部から上方端までの全長は、約102ないし103mm、樽部は、乳首の全長の約75%とし、約75mm程度とするのが好ましく、乳首の上方端の平坦部は、樽部の垂直部に合する下方に湾曲する周縁部を有し、平坦部の直径は、5ないし7mmとし、周縁カーブ外壁の半径は、9ないし10mmであり、周縁カーブ内壁の半径は、6.5ないし7.5mmとし、下方へ延びる壁の厚さは、約2.6mm、平坦部の厚さは、約2.4mm、下方へ延びる壁の厚さより薄く設定し、平坦部には、X字形のスリットを設けたものとし、子牛および他の哺乳動物に液体を与えるための乳首を提供可能としたものや、同特許文献1(2)に見られるような、フランジから延びた中空の乳首に相当する長さは、約60mm、乳首の外端は、半径約5mmの凹みをなす凹型部材によって閉じ、該凹型部材の中央に、長さ5ないし10mmのスリットを設け、該乳首内壁には、該スリットと直角をなして配し、該乳首を内側から補強する一対のウェップを一体化し、使用に当たって動物がこの乳首を吸引するか噛むかすると、外端の側壁が圧搾されて外壁が押しつぶされ、スリットに応力が加わり、一対のウェップの硬さによって外端が変形し、スリットを押し広げて液体が流れ出すようにして、より容易に授乳可能としてなるものなどが散見される。
(Conventional technology)
Under these circumstances, the artificial feeding technology has not been improved.
For example, as represented by what is proposed in Patent Document 1 (1) below, the vertical barrel portion of the nipple having a base portion extends upward from the base portion, curves, and has a shape reaching the upper end, The upper end of the barrel portion has a flat portion in the center, and the base portion includes a wall having an inner surface and an outer surface that form a cavity through which milk, milk substitute, and the like flow, and the nipple has an air vent, It is made of a flexible and elastic material such as natural rubber, synthetic rubber, thermoplastic elastomer, silicone, or other polymer compound. The total length from the bottom to the upper end of the nipple base is about 102 to 103 mm. About 75% of the total length of the nipple and preferably about 75 mm, the flat part at the upper end of the nipple has a peripherally curved peripheral part that fits the vertical part of the barrel part, and the diameter of the flat part is 5 to 7 mm, outside the peripheral curve The radius of the inner wall of the peripheral curve is 6.5 to 7.5 mm, the thickness of the wall extending downward is about 2.6 mm, and the thickness of the flat portion is about 2. mm. 4 mm, set to be thinner than the wall extending downward, the flat part is provided with an X-shaped slit, which can provide a nipple for supplying liquid to calves and other mammals, The length corresponding to the hollow nipple extending from the flange as seen in the patent document 1 (2) is about 60 mm, and the outer end of the nipple is closed by a concave member having a radius of about 5 mm. A slit having a length of 5 to 10 mm is provided in the center of the member, and a pair of webs for reinforcing the nipple from the inside are integrated on the inner wall of the nipple, and the animal is used in use. Suck or bite nipple The outer wall is squeezed and the outer wall is squeezed, stress is applied to the slit, the outer edge is deformed by the hardness of a pair of webs, and the slit is spread to allow liquid to flow more easily. Something like

しかし、前者特許文献1(1)に示されているような人工哺乳用の乳首は、乳首基部の底部から上方端までの全長が、約102ないし103mmに設定してあり、本願出願人は、こうした従来型の全長寸法とした乳首を使用していると、多くの子牛が、哺乳用ミルクなどの液状飼料類を鼻腔へ逆流してしまったり、咳込みを発生したりすることが多く見られることに逸早く気づき、また、特許文献1(2)に示された人工哺乳用の乳首は、乳首に相当する部分の長さを約60mmとしているものの、乳首の基端を液体源容器の内面に適合する形状とし、該液体源容器の出口に密着するよう装着可能なものとしてあるから、該液体源容器の出口形状によっては、子牛の口唇が、該液体源容器の出口に緩衝して、長さ約60mmの乳首の全体を口に含むことができず、子牛の舌の可動域が制限されたり、長さ約60mmの乳首全体を超えて、乳首が喉頭または舌隆起付近にまで達してスムーズな嚥下反射が抑制され、一度のみ込んだ哺乳用ミルクが鼻腔に逆流したり、咳込んだりすることがあり、こうした従来型の人工哺乳用の乳首の全長寸法の子牛口腔内への不適合が、円滑な嚥下の妨げとなっているのではないかとの思量に至った。

However, the nipple for artificial feeding as shown in the former Patent Document 1 (1) has a total length from the bottom of the nipple base to the upper end of about 102 to 103 mm. Using these conventional full-length nipples, many calves often cause liquid feeds such as milk for milk to flow back into the nasal cavity or cause coughing. The nipple for artificial feeding shown in Patent Document 1 (2) has a length corresponding to the nipple of about 60 mm, but the proximal end of the nipple is the inner surface of the liquid source container. Therefore, depending on the outlet shape of the liquid source container, the lip of the calf may be buffered at the outlet of the liquid source container. , Mouth the whole nipple about 60mm in length Can not be included, the range of motion of the calf's tongue is limited, the nipple reaches the larynx or the vicinity of the tongue bulge over the entire nipple of about 60 mm in length, and smooth swallowing reflex is suppressed, only once Infant feeding milk may flow back into the nasal cavity or cough, and this non-conformance of the full length of a conventional artificial feeding nipple into the calf oral cavity prevents smooth swallowing. I came to think that it might be.

(問題意識)
上述したとおり、従前までに提案のある各種人工哺乳用の乳首は、何れも乳首の全長が、子牛の口唇から舌隆起付近まで達するほど長いために、舌中隔に充分達しない程度に短過ぎたりして、子牛のスムーズな嚥下反射が妨げられ、哺乳用ミルクを鼻腔へ逆流してしまったり、咳込みを発生したりすることが多いということに逸早く気付いた本願出願人は、例えば、ホルスタイン種から生まれた子牛であれば、出生後直ちに母子分離され、初乳を人工的に哺乳し、その後30〜60日の間で子牛市場に出荷されるまで人工哺乳が行われ、また、黒毛和種子牛では、出生から3日間母牛による自然哺乳が行われるが、4日目に母子分離され、人工哺乳に切り替えられるのが一般的な牛子牛の哺乳方法となっていて、子牛の人工哺乳は、母子分離後7日間哺乳瓶による人工哺乳が行われ、その後、乳首付きバケツまたは哺乳ロボット(機械が子牛個体の哺乳量をコントロールする)での哺乳に移行するのが通常であり、こうした人工哺乳期間中に、哺乳用ミルクが鼻腔に逆流したり、咳込んだりする症状の後に哺乳子牛が、耳管舌隆起を介して中耳に流れ込み、中耳炎を発症したり、呼吸器病症候群を発生したりしている実情に気付き、ストレスによる免疫力低下が病原菌の感染を招き、呼吸器病を招くとする学説に疑問を呈するに至ったものである。
(Awareness of problems)
As described above, the nipples for various types of artificial feedings that have been proposed so far are so short that they do not reach the lingual septum because the total length of the nipple is so long that it reaches from the calf's lip to the vicinity of the tongue bulge. Applicants who quickly noticed that the calf's smooth swallowing reflex was hindered, often causing milk to flow back into the nasal cavity and coughing, for example, If the calf was born from a Holstein breed, the mother and the baby are separated immediately after birth, the colostrum is artificially sucked, and then artificial feeding is performed until it is shipped to the calf market within 30 to 60 days. Moreover, in Japanese black cattle, natural feeding by mother cows is performed for 3 days from birth, but on the fourth day the mother and the baby are separated and switched to artificial feeding is a general feeding method for cow calves, Calf artificial feeding, mother and child isolated Artificial feeding is carried out with a feeding bottle for 7 days, and then it is usually shifted to feeding with a bucket with a nipple or a feeding robot (the machine controls the feeding amount of the calf individual). , After the symptoms of suckling milk flowing back into the nasal cavity or coughing, the calf flows into the middle ear through the lingual tongue bulge and develops otitis media or respiratory disease syndrome As a result, the hypothesis that stress-induced decline in immunity leads to infection with pathogenic bacteria and leads to respiratory disease has led to doubts.

(発明の目的)
そこで、この発明は、哺乳子牛が、呼吸器症状発生以前に起こす、哺乳用ミルクの鼻腔への逆流と咳込みとに着目し、その原因と目される哺乳用乳首の形状および寸法を、より母牛の乳房と乳頭とに近づけ、子牛の嚥下反射を円滑に促進し、鼻腔への逆流をより安全に防止可能とし、より確実に哺乳量を高めて健康を維持可能とし、効率的に子牛を育成可能とする新たな人工哺乳技術の開発はできないものかとの判断から、逸速くその開発、研究に着手し、長期に渡る試行錯誤と幾多の試作、実験とを繰り返してきた。その結果、今回、遂に新規な構造の人工哺乳牛用乳首、および新規な構造の人工哺乳牛用嚥下補助具を実現化することに成功したものであり、以下では、図面に示すこの発明を代表する実施例と共に、その構成を詳述することとする。
(Object of invention)
Therefore, this invention pays attention to the backflow to the nasal cavity of suckling milk and coughing that occurs before the occurrence of respiratory symptoms, and the shape and size of the suckling nipple that is considered to be the cause of this invention, It is closer to the udder and nipple of the mother cow, smoothly promotes the swallowing reflex of the calf, makes it possible to prevent backflow into the nasal cavity more safely, makes it possible to increase the amount of milk more reliably and maintain health, and it is efficient From the judgment that it is possible to develop a new artificial feeding technology that can raise calves in the future, the development and research have been started quickly, and trial and error over many years and many trials and experiments have been repeated. As a result, we have finally succeeded in realizing a nipple for an artificial cow with a novel structure and a swallowing aid for an artificial cow with a novel structure. The following is representative of this invention shown in the drawings. The configuration will be described in detail along with the embodiment.

(発明の構成)
図面に示すこの発明を代表する実施例からも明確に理解されるように、この発明の人工哺乳牛用乳首は、基本的に次のような構成から成り立っている。
即ち、母牛の乳頭形を模した所定外径で、子牛の口唇先端から舌中隔に充分に達すると共に、子牛の口唇先端から舌隆起に到達しない所定長さの筒壁形状とし、該筒壁先端に乳頭孔を有する先端壁の設けられた乳頭部、および、母牛の乳頭根元付近である乳房先端形を模した所定外径で、所定長さの樽壁形状とし、該樽壁基端には、液状飼料供給源の液状飼料供給口に対して脱着自在とする装着口が設けられたものにする一方、該樽壁の装着口を設けた基端とは反対がわとなる該樽壁先端に、該乳頭部の基端を、互いの内部同士が連通するよう一体化した上、該樽壁先端の該乳頭部基端との接続部分外周囲に、哺乳子牛による該乳頭部のくわえ深さを、該乳頭部の所定長寸法に規制可能とする口唇制限環状壁の設けられた緩衝樽部を有するものとした構成を要旨とする人工哺乳牛用乳首である。
(Structure of the invention)
As will be clearly understood from the embodiments representing the present invention shown in the drawings, the nipple for an artificial cow of the present invention basically comprises the following configuration.
That is, with a predetermined outer diameter that imitates the nipple shape of a calf, it reaches the tongue septum sufficiently from the lip tip of the calf, and has a cylindrical wall shape with a predetermined length that does not reach the tongue bulge from the lip tip of the calf, A barrel wall shape having a predetermined outer diameter and a predetermined length simulating a teat provided with a tip wall having a teat hole at the tip of the tube wall and a breast tip near the base of the nipple of a mother cow, and the barrel The base of the wall is provided with a mounting port that is detachable with respect to the liquid feed supply port of the liquid feed supply source, while the opposite side of the base end provided with the mounting port of the barrel wall The base end of the nipple is integrated with the barrel wall tip so that the insides of the barrels communicate with each other, and the outer periphery of the connection portion between the barrel wall tip and the nipple base is formed by a calf. A buffer barrel portion provided with a lip-restricting annular wall that can regulate the holding depth of the nipple to a predetermined length of the nipple. A nipple for artificial feeding cattle to gist a configuration in which a.

この基本的な構成からなる人工哺乳牛用乳首は、換言すれば、母牛の乳頭形を模した所定外径で、子牛の口唇先端から舌中隔に充分に達すると共に、子牛の口唇先端から舌隆起に到達しない所定長さの筒壁形状とし、該筒壁先端に乳頭孔を有する先端壁の設けられた乳頭部、および、母牛の乳頭根元付近である乳房先端形を模した所定外径で、所定長さの樽壁形状とし、該樽壁基端には、液状飼料供給源の液状飼料供給口に対して脱着自在とする装着口が設けられたものにする一方、該樽壁の装着口を設けた基端とは反対がわとなる該樽壁先端に、該乳頭部の基端を、互いの内部同士が連通するよう一体化した上、該樽壁先端の該乳頭部基端との接続部分外周囲に、哺乳子牛による該乳頭部のくわえ深さを、該乳頭部の所定長寸法に規制可能とする口唇制限環状壁の設けられた緩衝樽部を有するものとし、人工哺乳に伴う子牛鼻腔への液状飼料の逆流や誤嚥を防止可能とされて円滑な哺乳を可能とした人工哺乳牛用乳首ということができる。     In other words, the nipple for artificial feeding cows having this basic structure has a predetermined outer diameter imitating the shape of a nipple of a mother cow, sufficiently reaches the lingual septum from the tip of the lip of the calf, and lips of the calf.
