Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for raising pigs during the lactation period, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a method and apparatus for raising pigs during the lactating period, and more particularly, when a piglet is visually read after parturition and lies down to nurse a piglet. This invention relates to a method and apparatus for raising pigs during the lactation period, in which the piglets are prevented from being crushed by the falling motion of visual reading, and the growth of the piglets is promoted.

[Prior art]

In recent years, pig farming is no longer something that farmers can do on their own, and pig farmers are now raising large numbers of pigs in specialized pigpens.

In order to raise a large number of pigs in a small pigpen, these pig farmers divide the inside of the pigpen with racks and raise a large number of pigs by arranging them in a space-efficient manner.

When the sows give birth, the sows are placed in a shelf made of iron pipes called a farrowing fence for visual inspection. Next to this farrowing fence, there is a playground for the piglets (approximately 10 piglets) to play after giving birth, and the piglets are frequently fed with milk several times per hour. When the visual reader breastfeeds the piglet, the visual reader lies down on the floor of the pigpen in the farrowing rack, facing the playing field.

However, when the baby lays down in the birthing rack to breastfeed, the baby suddenly collapses to the floor due to the weight of her body, even if she tries to lie down slowly. There is a problem in that a piglet playing next to the sight reading gets crushed under the sight reading and is crushed to death by the weight of the sight reading (approximately 100 kg). Moreover, the above-mentioned I-hole operation requires visual readings to be performed suddenly and without warning, day and night, and the number of supervisors in a pigpen where the number of visual readings is about 100 ulI is about 2 to 3 people. Due to the small number of piglets and the fact that the monitoring staff often cannot see all the piglets, crushing accidents of piglets are a constant occurrence, and the damage caused by these accidents is a serious concern among pig farmers. There is an urgent need for a solution.

[Object and structure of the invention]

The purpose of the present invention is to solve the above-mentioned problems in pig farming, and to provide an excellent pig farming method that allows piglets to be reared without being crushed to death even if piglets are frequently lactated during the lactation period. The purpose is to provide equipment.

The method for raising pigs during the lactation period of the present invention which achieves the above object is to install a blocking part that restricts only the crouching movement of the pigs in a farrowing rack that can house the pigs while standing, and to prevent the pigs from lactating for one lactation. The feature is that the time required for the piglet to lie down is increased to encourage the growth of the piglet.
The lactating pig farming device of the present invention is a pig farming device comprising a farrowing fence and a baffle member mounted substantially horizontally with an inward facing position on both sides of the farrowing fence, the baffle member being substantially The device is installed at a height corresponding to the length of the foot of the person, and is characterized by being configured so that it can only be moved upward from a horizontal position.

〔Example〕

Embodiments of the method and apparatus of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

The method of raising pigs during the lactation period of the present invention allows the piglets to take time to lie down for breastfeeding inside the farrowing enclosure, and allows the piglets to understand the nursing motion of the piglets by sight reading. This is to enable them to grow and not be crushed by them. In order to realize such a pig farming method, the present invention requires a pig farming apparatus.

1 to 9 show the structure of an embodiment of an apparatus for carrying out the pig farming method of the present invention.

The pig farming apparatus 1 is composed of a farrowing fence 1O and a baffle member 20, and the farrowing 41II 110 has several horizontal bars 12 on each side between two concave frames 11 provided in the front and back direction of the pig. It has a structure with holes cut out at appropriate intervals.

The lowest horizontal bar 12b is located near the top of the pig's legs, and prevents the pig from escaping, and also controls the pig's strength q.
It swells slightly outward so that it can lie down inside. (The door and crosspiece attached to the concave frame are omitted in the drawing.) Furthermore, the baffle member 20 is provided so as to protrude inward from the farrowing fence 10, and its protruding position is located at the leg of the visual reader. stomach"
The height is about 2Qcm from the floor of the pigpen)
Although the degree of protrusion of the obstructing part (A20) is not large, the visual reading due to this obstructing part 20 is 41flllO
It is designed so that you cannot fall to the floor like that inside.

In the embodiment, a pipe 21 bent into a substantially U-shape is rotatably supported at both ends by a bracket 22 installed on the second horizontal bar 12a from the bottom of the birthing fence IO.
In order for the protruding part 21a to act as an internal force of the farrowing fence 10, the protruding part 21a is arranged so that it protrudes slightly below the feet of the pig's waist. Brackets 23 and 24 are attached to the horizontal beam 12c at the top of the birthing fence 10, and the bracket 24 is suspended by a chain 25 whose one end is locked to a bin 23a protruding from the bracket 23. The protrusion 21a is held substantially horizontally.

Therefore, the baffle member 20 does not move downward from the horizontal state due to the force of the chino 25, but the baffle member 20 loosens against the force from below to the top.
0 moves upward, that is, rotates upward around the bracket 22.

3 to 9 show parts constituting the baffle member 20. FIG.

The bracket 22 that attaches the pipe 21 to the horizontal beam 12 is
It is divided into a pipe side bracket 122 and a horizontal frame side bracket 222. FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of the pipe-side bracket 22, and the pipe-side bracket 122 includes a cylindrical portion 122b provided with a through hole 122a for rotatably receiving the pipe 21, and this cylindrical portion 122b. The slide plate 122d is provided with a protruding slide plate portion 122d, and an elongated hole 122c is bored in the slide plate portion 122d. This pipe side bracket l-122 has its through hole 1
22a are inserted loosely through the QIS 2tb at both ends of the pipe 21, as shown in FIG. 7, and are numbered. , 26 are stoppers that regulate the position of the pipe side bracket 122.

Further, FIG. 6 shows an embodiment of the horizontal beam side bracket 222, in which the elongated hole 122 of the pipe side bracket 122 is
c and the through hole 222b drilled in the access plate 222a of the horizontal frame side bracket 222 are connected to the pole l-.

They are connected via a nut 29 as shown in FIG.

Therefore, the distance between the pipe side bracket 122 and the horizontal frame side bracket 222 can be adjusted by the length of the elongated hole 122c.

Further, the horizontal beam side bracket 222 is configured such that its through hole 222c can be opened and closed by an opening/closing portion 222d so that it can be attached to and removed from the horizontal beam 12 of the birthing fence 10. That is, the opening/closing part) FA' 222d is rotatably attached to the mounting crystal part 222e of the side bracket 222 by a pin or the like, and the free end of the opening/closing part 2226 is attached to the mounting base 222.
It can be tightened with a nut 222g to a bolt 222f rotatably attached to 2e. 222h is a screw for preventing rotation when the horizontal frame side bracket 222 is attached to the horizontal frame 12.

Note that the pipe side bracket 122 has a long hole 122c.
Instead, a large number of small round holes 122i may be provided in a row as shown in FIG.
There is a through hole 222 in place of the anti-rotation screw 222h.
A rod 222j provided with a spiral protrusion may be provided inside C.

FIG. 4 shows the bracket 24 attached to the protrusion 21a of the pipe 21. This bracket 24 also has a cylindrical portion 24b provided with a through hole 24a similar to the pipe side bracket 122, and a hanging plate 24d having a hanging hole 24C is protruded from this cylindrical portion 24b. . This bracket 24 has a stopper 27.2 as shown in FIG.
7 and is freely rotatably passed through the center of the protrusion 21a of the pipe 21.

The bracket 24 is suspended by a chino 25, as shown in FIG. 8, through a hanging metal fitting 28 inserted into the hanging hole 24c. Therefore, the pipe 21 can be rotated and moved, for example to the position shown by the chain line, when the chino 25 is pulled up or pushed from below.

When the sight reading P during the lactation period is confined in the pig farming apparatus 1 of the present invention configured as described above as shown in FIG. , baffle member 2
0 protrudes near the leg (=I) of P's leg inside the birthing fence 10, so this gets in the way and makes it impossible for her to lie down in that position.

Therefore, in visual reading I), the user moves his or her hips to first get his or her body under the baffle member 20, moves the baffle part +A20, takes a posture that will not be interfered with by the baffle member 20, and then collapses onto the floor.

Therefore, the time required for the visual reader P to fall down to the floor for breastfeeding is longer than in the birthing fence 10 without the obstructing part 20, and the visual reader P's body is bent under the obstructing member 20. By not moving, the piglets around the visual reader P can sense the movement and can move away from the visual reader P. Therefore, there is no fear that the piglets will be crushed by the sudden nursing action of the visual reader P, and the born piglets will grow without decreasing in number.

In addition, if the person lying on the floor in the pig farming equipment of the present invention stands up after completing the receiving hole, the
+A20 escapes upwards, so visually reading P thinks about that action;
1ilJ will not occur.

As described above, in the pig farming method using the pig farming apparatus of the present invention, the baffle 91i restricts only the movement of the master wire to lie down on the floor, so the time required for the master wire to lie down in the farrowing rack becomes longer. In addition, the piglets can sense the movement of the parent wire lying down due to the obstructing part H, so that when the parent wire falls sideways in the farrowing rack for breastfeeding, the piglets are accidentally crushed and crushed to death. will disappear.

It should be noted that the pig farming equipment used in the pig farming method of the present invention is not limited to the equipment of this embodiment. Any device may be used as long as it has a disturbing member that allows the piglet to sense it. For example, the baffle member may be made of a plate-like object instead of a pipe, or the rotational movement of the baffle member only in the upward direction may be restricted by a stopper or the like instead of a chino.

[Results of invention]

As explained above, the present invention provides for a farrowing rack in which pigs can be housed in a standing position, and a baffle member placed substantially horizontally inward at opposing positions on both sides of the farrowing fence so as to restrict only the crouching movement of the pigs. The baffle member is installed at a height approximately equivalent to the length of the pig's legs, and is configured so that it can only be moved upwards from the horizontal position, so that the pigs in the lactating period of the pig farming equipment are able to do so for one lactation. By increasing the amount of time it takes for piglets to lie down, there is no longer any risk of piglets being crushed to death due to the parent wire falling to the floor during feeding, increasing the number of piglets that can be raised in one farrowing period, and increasing the number of piglets that can be raised in one delivery. This has the effect of reducing losses.
