<Process>
(1) Water Water flows from the first pump unit 21 to the drinking water supply pipe 11. In the middle of flowing through the drinking water supply pipe 11, the water is partially drunk from the opening 38 by the livestock 31. Other water flows through the circulation part 40 a to the drinking water receiving pipe 12 and returns to the first pump part 21. Since water circulates, insects are unlikely to occur. Water is discarded regularly.

It is further preferable to provide a filter 34 before water comes out from the first pump unit 21 and returns. Microbial generation and dust can be removed.
(2) Fertilizer or water Water or fertilizer is flowed from the second pump unit 22 to the fertilizer water supply pipe 13. Water or fertilizer is discharged (sprayed) from the discharge port 39 to the outside (grazing field 52) while flowing through the fertilizer water supply pipe 13. Sprayed on the grass 32. Other water or fertilizer flows through the circulation part 40 b to the fertilizer water receiving pipe 14 and returns to the second pump part 22. However, it is not necessary to flow water or fertilizer to the fertilizer water receiving pipe 14 and return it to the second pump. When water or fertilizer is passed through the fertilizer water receiving pipe 14 and returned to the second pump, homogeneous fertilizer and water can be provided to the grass 32.

<Effect>
In the grazing unit 101 of the first embodiment, water is circulated and water that does not generate microorganisms or the like is given to the livestock 31, so that the livestock 31 can be reared without lowering its appetite. The grass 32 is also given water or fertilizer to grow. As a result, the livestock 31 can eat and raise the grass 32.
In the above description, the second fence 18a includes the drinking water supply pipe 11 and the drinking water receiving pipe 12. However, the second fence 18a may not be a fence. There may be a drinking water supply pipe 11 and a drinking water receiving pipe 12.

The same applies to the following second embodiment.
That is, the second fence 18a and the first fence 18b may not be fences surrounding the livestock 31. The livestock 31 may not be surrounded by the grazing unit 101.

(Another example 1): Temperature adjustment unit 23
The difference from the above is that the supply device 19 has a temperature adjusting unit 23 (FIG. 1). Matters not described are the same as described above. The livestock 31 has no appetite when the temperature is high, such as in summer. By flowing cold water through the drinking water supply pipe 11 at the temperature adjusting unit 23, the body temperature is lowered and the appetite is recovered. As the temperature adjustment unit 23, water may be cooled and warmed by a compressor, a radiator, a chiller, a heater, or the like.

The temperature adjustment unit 23 is a Peltier element or the like. Can cool and warm. In summer, the water should be cooled, and in winter it should be warmed so that the water does not freeze.
As a result, the appetite of the livestock 31 does not drop, and growth is promoted.

(Example 2)
In this example, the grazing land is changed. Matters not described are the same as described above.
In FIG. 3, the grass 32 of the grazing ranch 52 is eaten and reduced by the livestock 31. Therefore, it is preferable to move the grazing farm 52.

In this case, the supply device 19 is not moved, and the first fence 18 b is moved to the periphery of the supply device 19.
As an example, the pasture field 52 is moved to the pasture field 51 in FIG. A part of the grazing unit 101 is moved.

In this case, the 2nd fence 18a has the drinking water supply pipe | tube 11, the drinking water receiving pipe | tube 12, etc., and movement requires time and an effort. Therefore, the 1st fence 18b is moved to the adjacent grass growth field 51, without moving the 2nd fence 18a. As a result, the pasture field 52 and the pasture growth field 51 are interchanged.
As a result, the livestock 31 can be grazed while growing the grass.

  In addition, it is good to move the grazing field 52 to the circumference | surroundings of the supply apparatus 19 sequentially for every fixed period. Further, in the above, the first fence 18b may be resident without moving. That is, the second fence 18a, the first fence 18b, and the supply device 19 may not be moved, and only the grazing field 52 and the pasture growth field 51 may be replaced.

Further, the grazing farm 52 or the pasture growing ground 51 may be surrounded by the second fence 18a, and the water may be circulated around the pasture 52 or pasture growing ground 51. In this case, the drinking water receiving pipe 12 is not necessary.
(Embodiment 2): Solar panel In Embodiment 2, the solar panel 70 is added to the said Embodiment 1. FIG. Matters not described are the same as those in the first embodiment. Electricity generated by the solar panel 70 is stored in the secondary battery 63. This electricity is used in the first pump unit 21 and the second pump unit 22. There are many cases where there is no power source around the pasture, and it is effective to use the solar panel 70 to generate electricity.

This will be described with reference to the perspective views of FIGS. In any case, a solar panel 70 is arranged in the grazing unit 101 to form a shade 81.
In FIG. 5, the solar panel 70 is arrange | positioned on the side surface of the 1st fence 18b. A solar panel may be arranged on the side surface of the second fence 18a.

In FIG. 6, the solar panel 70 is arrange | positioned on the top side of the corner part which consists of the 2nd fence 18a, the supply apparatus 19, and the 1st fence 18b. In this case, the lower part of the solar panel 70 is shaded. Good for a break of livestock 31 by the shade.
In FIG. 7, the solar panel 70 is supported by the top side of the first fence 18 b and the column 46. The lower part of the solar panel 70 is shaded. Instead of the first fence 18b, the second fence 18a may be used.
FIG. 8 is a plan view of the ranch 100. FIG. 9 is a sectional view thereof. In FIGS. 8 and 9, the solar panels 70 are arranged using the first fence 18 b on the opposite side of the grazing unit 101 of the ranch 100. A support 71 supports one side of the solar panel 70. A shade 81 with a large area is formed.
