Description

  The present invention relates to a device for installing a solid salt in a wild animal at an arbitrary place to promote the intake of the solid salt.

  2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, the number of wild animals has rapidly increased in Japan due to a decrease in the hunting population and an aging population. In particular, the number of wild animals belonging to the deer family, bovine family, and wild boar family has increased remarkably, and a wide range of human damage has been observed, such as damage to agricultural crops in agriculture, planting and bark in forestry, and vehicle impact in transportation. Is in a constant situation.

  Such damage occurs because there is a site (hereinafter referred to as a protected area) where human activities are conducted in the wildlife habitat, and wild animals enter the protected area. . Examples of the protected land include a site having fields and fields, a site used for forestry, a site having railways and roads, and the like.

  As a countermeasure against such damage, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a herbivore invasion deterrent fence in order to prevent wild animals from entering a protected area.

  According to the herbivore invasion deterrent fence disclosed in Patent Literature 1, when a herbivore invades, emergency evacuation is easy and the fence is damaged at the time of evacuation while having a function of deterring herbivore invasion. Even in this case, it is possible to effectively prevent a broken object from entering the road side.

  However, since such conventional measures are installed at the boundary between the protected area and the outside of the protected area, there is a problem that the installation takes time.

  Even when such conventional measures are taken, wild animals may invade protected areas. This is due to the behavioral behavior of wild animals. Hereinafter, the behavioral behavior of wild animals (for example, deer family and bovine family, hereinafter referred to as target animals) classified into the ruminant order as wild animals will be described.

  The target animal decomposes and ferments dietary fiber such as cellulose taken from grass or the like via symbiotic microorganisms such as bacteria that coexist in the stomach. The target animal uses as its own energy source by absorbing organic matter mainly composed of lower fatty acids such as acetic acid, propionic acid, and butyric acid, which are produced by decomposing and fermenting dietary fiber, and symbiotic microorganisms.

  In addition, when the target animal degrades and ferments the dietary fiber in the stomach to lower the hydrogen ion concentration index (pH) in the stomach, the symbiotic microorganisms are less likely to be activated. For this reason, the target animal promotes the activation of symbiotic microorganisms by ingesting minerals such as salt and iron.

  As described above, the symbiotic microorganisms not only degrade and ferment dietary fiber, but also serve as an energy source for the target animal, and thus play an extremely important role for the target animal. The target animal in which such a symbiotic microorganism coexists in the stomach not only ingests dietary fiber such as grass but also aggressively ingests minerals as necessary for maintaining its own life.

  However, in the natural environment, the target animal cannot sufficiently take in minerals from dietary fibers such as cellulose taken from grass and the like, and can also take minerals contained in these from soil and bark. However, since the amount is very small, it is not possible to take enough minerals.

  Therefore, it is considered that the target animal is always in a state of deficiency of minerals, and if there is anything necessary for maintaining its own life in the protected area, even if it enters the protected area without regard to physical safety, Behavioral habits of ingesting dietary fiber and minerals are seen.

  On the other hand, measures have been taken to prevent the target animals from entering the protected area by installing solid salts for wild animals using the behavioral habits of the target animals.

  The solid salt for wild animals contains minerals such as salt and iron. Since it is rare for a target animal to go out of its habitat and ingest nutrients, solid salt for wild animals is desirably provided in the habitat of the target animal. Solid salt for wildlife placed in the habitat of the target animal will be placed directly on the ground outside the protected area.

  If the wild animal solid salt is found in the target animal, it is taken continuously to replenish minerals. As a result, the target animal can stay around the solid salt, that is, outside the protected area for a long time (for example, about several hours).

  However, the solid salt for wild animals has a problem that it is melted by being installed directly on the ground, by absorbing rainfall or moisture on the ground. Further, there is a problem that the solid salt for wild animals is buried by snow and fallen leaves. As described above, since the solid salt for wild animals is continuously exposed to the outdoor environment, there is a problem that the installation position cannot be determined.

  In addition, since solid salts for wild animals are not fixed to the ground in particular, they can continue to be ingested by the target animal, causing the position to move, making it impossible to determine the installation position. was there.

  If the location of the solid salt for wildlife can no longer be determined, the habitat of the target animal should be searched based on the position of the target animal, such as dung, food scars, and pomegranate marks. And will be installed outside the protected area again. In addition, when the solid salt for wild animals is continuously consumed by the target animal and becomes small, or is completely consumed, the solid salt is re-installed outside the protected area.

  However, in order to install solid salt for wildlife outside the protected area again, it is necessary to search for habitats based on the position of the target animal, such as dung, food scars, and pufferfish traces. For this reason, if the location of the solid salt for wildlife can no longer be determined, it takes a great deal of effort to find the habitat of the target animal, and it takes time to search for that location again. There was a problem that it would.

  In addition, solid salt for wild animals is placed directly on the ground, making it difficult to access the target animal when marking it with urine or the like on wild animals other than the target animal. There is a problem that the effect of staying around cannot be significantly exhibited.

  A monkey or basket made of resin or the like may be used as a solid salt for wild animals in which the solid salt is installed.

  However, such a monkey or basket is not fixed to the ground, and thus has a problem that it moves from its initial installation position.

  Therefore, as a solid salt installation device for wild animals for installing solid salt for wild animals, a solid salt installed in an outdoor environment is difficult to be buried or melted due to a change in the natural environment, and the installation position can be easily determined. It has been demanded.

  Further, the installation device 1 loosens the fastening between the bolt 51 and the nut 52, thereby weakening the pressing force acting on the column 2 between the abutting portion 413 and the notch portions 422a and 423a. It can be removed from the support column 2.

  That is, the attachment member 4 is detachably attached to the column 2. For this reason, in the installation device 1, the storage container 3 that stores the solid salt 9 is mounted on the support 2 via the mounting member 4 so that the height can be adjusted.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 9, when the shoulder height of the adult of the target animal 8 is H1, the setting device 1 adjusts the height of the storage container 3 to the shoulder height H1 of any adult of the target animal 8. Can be set. In other words, the setting device 1 can be arbitrarily set to a height at which the target animal 8 can easily take the solid salt 9 without being limited by the individual difference of the target animal 8. In other words, when the target animal 8 is, for example, Sika deer, H1 is set to about 1.0 m, and when the target animal 8 is Honshu deer, which is relatively smaller than Sika deer, for example, H1 is set to about 0.8 m. It is possible to do.

  In addition, when the shoulder height of the adult animal of the non-target animal 7 which is not the target animal 8 is H2, the height of the accommodation container 3 may be set to be higher than the shoulder height H2 of the adult animal of the non-target animal 7. It becomes possible. Accordingly, the setting device 1 can prevent the non-target animal 7 other than the target animal 8 from being easily marked on the solid salt 9 by urine or the like, so that the target animal 8 ingests the solid salt 9. Can be encouraged. As a result, the target animal 8 can stay around the installation device 1 on which the solid salt 9 is installed.

  Here, the non-target animal 7 other than the target animal 8 is assumed to be a wild animal smaller than the target animal 8, and refers to, for example, a vulture fox or a red fox. That is, when the non-target animal 7 other than the target animal 8 is, for example, a red fox, it is possible to set H2 to about 0.4 m and set the installation height of the storage container 3 higher than H2.

  In addition, since the height of the storage container 3 can be arbitrarily set, for example, when the height of the ground G relatively rises due to snowfall or fallen leaves, the solid salt for the target animal 8 is adjusted to the raised ground G. 9 can be set again to an optimal height at which it is easy to ingest.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the installation device 1 has the two bottom plates 31 that are inclined so that the storage container 3 expands toward each other as it goes upward, thereby storing the rectangular solid salt 9 in the storage container. 3, the upper surface of the solid salt 9 is arranged in a mountain.

  As a result, when the target animal 8 ingests the solid salt 9, the setting device 1 can ingest the solid salt 9 of the target animal 8 from both sides. That is, the installation device 1 enables the plurality of target animals 8 to ingest the solid salt 9 at the same time, and the effect of keeping the target animal 8 near the solid salt 9 for a long time (for example, about several hours) is more significantly. It is possible to demonstrate.

  In addition, the installation device 1 is arranged such that when the upper surface of the solid salt 9 is arranged in a mountainous manner, when rain falls, the rainwater poured on the upper surface of the solid salt 9 flows along the mountainous shape of the solid salt 9. Therefore, it is possible to prevent rainwater from staying on the upper surface of the solid salt 9. As a result, the installation device 1 can prevent the solid salt 9 from being melted by such rainwater.

  Although the illustration is omitted in the installation device according to the present invention, a rain shield member that covers the upper side of the solid salt may be attached to the support. It is assumed that the rain shield member is made of, for example, a plate made of steel, resin, or the like. In such a case, it is possible to prevent rainwater from directly falling onto the solid salt, and as a result, it is possible to prevent the solid salt from being melted. In addition, the mounting position of the rain shield member is not limited to the column, but may be a member that constitutes the installation device according to the present invention, such as a storage container or a locking member.

  FIG. 11 is a plan view showing an alternative example of the installation apparatus 1 to which the present invention is applied.

  In this case, in particular, the mounting member 4 includes a U-shaped bolt 401 having a U-shape in plan view, a nut 402, and the attachment plate 6. In such a case, the U-shaped bolt 401 is inserted into the hole 320 of the side plate 32, the side plate 32 and the U-shaped bolt 401 are brought into contact with the column 2, and the nut 402 is screwed to the tip of the shaft of the U-shaped bolt 401. Let me. The attachment plate 6 is interposed between the nut 402 and the side plate 32.

  In such a case, when the U-shaped bolt 401 and the nut 402 are fastened, a pressing force acts on the column 2 between the side plate 32 and the U-shaped bolt 401. As a result, the storage container 3 is attached to the column 2. In addition, by loosening the connection between the U-shaped bolt 401 and the nut 402, the housing container 3 can be removed from the column 2. In this manner, the mounting member 4 is removably mounted on the column 2. The accommodation container 3 may be attached to the column 2 by using a plurality of U-shaped bolts 401.

  In the installation apparatus 1 having such a configuration, the height of the storage container 3 can be arbitrarily set by appropriately setting the position of the attachment member 4 attached to the column 2.

  In such a case, in particular, the support column 2 has a plurality of through holes 2 a at intervals on the side surface thereof, and the mounting member 4 includes the bolt 403, the nut 404, and the attachment plate 6. In such a case, after aligning the hole 320 of the side plate 32 with the through hole 2a of the support column 2, the bolt 403 is inserted through the hole 320 and the through hole 2a, and the nut 402 is screwed onto the shaft tip of the bolt 403. Let me. In addition, the attachment plate 6 is interposed between the head of the bolt 403 and the side plate 32.

  In such a case, when the bolt 403 and the nut 404 are fastened, a pressing force acts on the column 2 between the side plate 32 and the nut 404. As a result, the storage container 3 is attached to the column 2. Further, by loosening the connection between the bolt 403 and the nut 404, the container 3 can be removed from the column 2. In this manner, the mounting member 4 is removably mounted on the column 2.

  The installation apparatus 1 having such a configuration can arbitrarily set the height of the storage container 3 by appropriately setting the position of the through hole 2a of the column 2 that is aligned with the hole 320 of the storage container 3. It becomes possible.
