Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for storing dent corn, which is a feed for cattle and horses, in a bag having a simple structure, and to the bag.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Raw grass that has been cut off as livestock feed for cattle and horses in the winter period is widely stored by deoxidizing it as a so-called roll baler, which is wrapped with a non-breathing film such as polyethylene or vinyl chloride. Has been adopted.

It is also widely known that dent corn, which has been harvested in large quantities by a corn harvester or the like and cut into small pieces, is silaged and useful as a feed for cattle and horses having high palatability and nutritional value.

[0004]

Among the above-mentioned livestock feeds, apart from those that can be used for roll balers, such as raw grass, dent corn that is not suitable for roll balers has been stored in silos until now. Since there was no road, there was a problem that small-scale farmers with insufficient capital had a great disadvantage in raising livestock with dent corn.

In view of the above situation, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for silencing dent cones easily and inexpensively without resorting to large equipment such as silos, and a bag for the method.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention has a large-sized hoistable container, which has been used as a container for storing grains by many farmers regardless of its size. Assuming that a bag is used, at least in the body where the bottom outlet can be opened and closed, a cylindrical inner bag made of non-breathable plastic film is bound at the bottom opening. Anaerobic that adheres to Dentco under deoxidized condition by inserting in closed state, filling and filling the inner bag with dent cone, and binding and closing the upper opening of the inner bag to seal the contents. It is a method that promotes appropriate fermentation of bacteria.

[0007]

According to the method of the present invention, by enclosing dent corn in a non-air-permeable inner bag, the inner bag is kept in a deoxygenated state, which promotes fermentation of anaerobic bacteria and improves taste and freshness of livestock. This has the special effect of enabling long-term storage of high dent corn.

[0008] Further, a large number of bags filled with the above-mentioned dent cones are stored outdoors by stacking them in several stages, and the contents of the bags are compressed under the load of the bags in the upper stage, so that the internal air is not discharged. Since it is discharged, there is also an effect that the deoxidized state is more favorably maintained.

Further, according to the container structure of the present invention, the lower edge of the discharge port (including the lower end opening of the inner bag) opened at the time of providing the domestic feed to the livestock is at a certain height from the floor surface. By supporting the bag in a lifted state,
There is also an effect that the inner dent corn is naturally supplied according to the amount of feed consumed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The structure of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the embodiments shown in the drawings. In FIG. Is an upper lid which is attached to the upper edge of the body part via the fasteners 3a and the like so as to be openable and closable, and 4 is a suspension band sewn to the body part 1 of the bag.

The body 1 may be made of a material having poor air permeability such as cloth, or may be a net formed by Russell knitting of synthetic resin monofilaments or a large number of thick synthetic resin sheets. May be composed of a breathable material such as a perforated sheet having the pores of
Further, the discharge port 2 on the lower bottom of the body part may be provided with a fastener (not shown) or may be formed into a chrysanthemum shape as illustrated in FIG. 2 as long as it has a strength capable of withstanding the weight of the contents in the closed state. It is optional to provide the incision pieces 2a and insert the string 2b or the like into each of the distal end portions thereof so that they can be closed by squeezing.

Numeral 5 is a cylindrical inner bag which is mounted in the body 1, and is made of a non-breathable film such as polyethylene, vinyl chloride or vinyl acetate, and the size of the inner bag is the contents. When the outer peripheral surface of the inner wall of the body portion 1 is in contact with the inner wall of the body portion 1 when it is filled, and the vicinity of the upper and lower openings is tied with a string 5a or the like when the contents are filled, The requirement is that the bag length can be obtained.

In the figure, 6 is a dent cone housed in the inner bag, 7 is a hook of a separate lifting mechanism that engages with the hanging belt 4 of the bag, and 8 is the floor of a barn or the like.

The container according to the present invention having the above-mentioned structure is deoxygenated by a simple method of accommodating the dent cone 6 in the inner bag 5 and sealing it, and accumulating it in an appropriate place in the field. The anaerobic fermentation of Dentcorn 6 is promoted, and fresh silage of high quality can be obtained.

Next, an example of use of the container for storing dent cones according to the present invention described above will be described. First, the outlet 2 of the lower bottom 1a of the body is closed, and the lower end opening is squeezed and bound with a string 5a or the like. The inner bag 5 is inserted from the upper edge opening 1b of the body 1 to expand the inside, and the upper end of the inner bag 5 is fixed to the upper edge opening 1b of the body by folding back.

As described above, the dent cones 6 discharged from the throwers (none of which are shown) of the corn harvester are mounted on a loading platform such as a truck for transporting a plurality of packaging bags having the inner bags 5 attached thereto. It is received in the inner bag 5, and when one inner bag is full, the thrower is transferred to the next empty bag, and the upper end opening of the inner bag 5 of the already-sealed bag is squeezed and bound with a string 5a or the like to seal it. After repeating the work of closing the upper lid 3 again, they are transported to an appropriate place in the field, and when the cargo is unloaded, the hanging band 4 of each bag is lifted by the hook 7 of the lifting mechanism.
It is hung up on the floor and piled up and stored in several stages.

When the dent corn 6 stored according to the above-mentioned procedure is provided as livestock feed for the winter season, the dent corn 6 is carried into a barn in each bag unit, and the bag is suspended with a sling belt 4 and a hoisting mechanism prepared in advance. Using a hook 7 (not shown), the discharge port 2 on the lower bottom of the body and the lower end opening of the inner bag 5 are lifted up to a position where they can be opened, and at a position where a predetermined amount of the dent cone 6 falls and collects on the floor 8. The bag is fixedly supported (see FIG. 3).

The dent corn is fed to the livestock in this state, and the dent corn 6 on the floor surface naturally drops from the bag in an amount commensurate with the amount consumed and a fixed amount of feed is constantly supplied to the floor surface. .

[0019]

According to the simple storage method of the dent corn and the bag according to the present invention, not only the container for storing grains, which is owned by most farmers, can be used as it is for the body portion including the upper lid. Inner bag is also available at low cost,
Moreover, since it can be used repeatedly to a certain extent, it consumes a very small amount, and its economic effect is extremely remarkable as compared with the conventional method which requires a large silo or the like for silting of dent corn.

In addition, since the large number of bags can be stored in the open field, unlike the ones stored indoors or in a certain facility, there is no need to select a storage location or construction cost of the facility. It has the versatility to be used by many small-scale farmers.

Further, according to the bag structure of the present invention, when the internal feed is provided to the livestock, the bag is opened so that the lower opening of the discharge port or the lower end opening of the inner bag is separated from the floor surface by a certain amount. By adjusting the hoisting height, the dent cones are naturally replenished from the inner bag according to the amount of feed consumed on the floor, and the balance is always in the inner bag to maintain freshness. The effect is also obtained.
