Description

The invention relates to the mechanization of labor-intensive processes in animal husbandry and can find application both on large and small farms of cattle in the milk or meat sector.

The aim of the invention is to increase the efficiency of feeding animals of different age and gender groups.

The goal is achieved by that. that in the feeder for feeding roughage containing a hopper, the side walls of which are made in the form of racks fixed on the frame, connected by horizontal rods, on which vertical rods are mounted to move along them, horizontal rods are equipped with clamps for vertical rods and installed vertical plane.

In FIG. 1 shows a proposed feeder, side view; in FIG. 2 - the same, rear view; in FIG. 3 - section for feeding young animals and adult animals, which is available to animals; in FIG. 4 ~ part of the surface of FIG. 3, side view; in FIG. 5 knot of fastening and fixing the rods to each other.

The feeder includes a feed hopper 1 mounted on a wheeled chassis, in which, after lifting or shifting to the side of the roof sections 2, hay is loaded in rolls. Animals access to hay through the gratings of sections 3, 4, 5, some of them (for example, section 3) made with fixed rods, others like sections 4 and 5 with movable rods.

A section for feeding young animals and adult animals is depicted in FIG. 3. It includes fixed vertical posts resting on a chassis frame 6 7. Guides 8 are fixed to them, along which a horizontal pipe 9 can move up and down, on which vertical rods (or pipes) are moved using rings 10 and 11 using bolts 11 12, 13, 14, 15. From below, these rods

'3 are attached to another horizontal rod (pipe) 16. which, using brackets 17, is attached to the frame 6. while having the ability to move vertically. In FIG. 4, in particular, shows the change in position of the brackets 17 and vertical rods when moving the rod 16 down.

The feeder works as follows.

If in section 5 of the feeder feeding of the young is expected, then the rods 12-15 are set evenly across the width of the feeder, thereby organizing five windows for the young. At the same time, the pipes 9 and 16 are moved down. In this case, a stern window is formed, convenient in height and width for babies, but inconvenient for adults and even just for older animals (which are fed in other sections at this time). If you need to feed adult animals - the rods 14 and 15 are placed right next to the rack 7, and with the help of the rods 12 and 13, three aft windows with a width of 500 mm for adult animals are arranged on the same width of 1600 mm.

upward so that the height of the window was comfortable for adult animals.

If necessary, you can organize windows of intermediate sizes, four windows in the width of the section. The proposed feeder will allow you to effectively organize the feeding of animals, providing the setting of the feeder in accordance with the structure of a particular herd and adjustment as the gender and age structure changes.
