Definitions

  • the invention concerns an installation for feeding animals, consisting of a dosage unit that can be operated by the animal for delivering feed in a dry form into a trough, and a nipple connected to a supply pipe for supplying water to the trough, which can also be operated by the animal.
  • the nipple for supplying the water is connected directly to the waterworks or to a water reservoir.
  • the disadvantage of this construction is that the fodder is given to the animal cold, which is less appetizing than fodder which is given warm.
  • the animal will ingest less fodder than if the fodder had been warm, and it will have to produce more energy tc raise the temperature of the ingested food in its digestive tract.
  • These factors have a negative effect on the growth rate of the animal.
  • the weather when the weather is hot the animal will tend tc imbibe more water to cool down than is strictly necessary for an optimal development of the animal, which will result in more manure being produced.
  • the present invention provides an installation for feeding animals in which the water which is added to the feed in the trough has the required temperature from the very first drop and the animal will not imbibe excessive amounts of water. This effect has been obtained in the present invention by connecting the water nipple tc the water mains by means of a ring main equipped with a pump and a thermostatically controlled heating element in order to keep the water that is fed to the nipples at a pre-set higher temperature.
  • the ring main for supplying the nipples with water is preferably not connected directly to the water mains, but to the bottom of a reservoir equipped with a float valve; the water mains then enters the reservoir via a ball valve operated by a float.

  • the water in the .ring main can be heated by including a second reservoir in the ring main which is connected to the reservoir with the float valve and which contains a thermostatically controlled heating element.
  • the pump should preferably be placed in that part of the ring main which is located between the buffer tank and the nipple.

Abstract

L'invention a pour objet une installation d'alimentation d'animaux, dans laquelle l'eau qu'on ajoute à l'aliment sec dans la mangeoire est à la température nécessaire depuis la première goutte, ce qui empêche l'animal d'ingurgiter des quantités d'eau excessives. On a obtenu cet effet en reliant la sortie d'eau à la canalisation d'eau au moyen d'une conduite circulaire équipée d'une pompe et d'un élément de chauffage à commande thermostatique afin que l'eau alimentée à la sortie, se maintienne à une température prédéterminée plus élevée. L'eau chaude est pompée continuellement par la conduite circulaire afin de conserver sa chaleur. Si on actionne le dispositif de sortie de l'eau, la pression réglable se trouvant dans la conduite intérieure provoque l'écoulement immédiat de l'eau chaude hors de la sortie. L'eau chaude qui ne s'écoule pas hors de la sortie de la conduite, retourne au réservoir (6) par l'intermédiaire de l'espace situé entre la conduite intérieure concentrique (7) et la conduite extérieure (5), étant donné que la conduite intérieure (7) se termine près de la sortie (4) et est reliée de manière à déboucher dans la conduite extérieure (5). Cette conduite aboutit dans un réservoir (6) équipé d'un thermostat et d'un élément de chauffage. Un système d'approvisionnement (13-15) se trouve dans ce réservoir (6) ou dans un réservoir partiellement séparé (12) et sert à remplir automatiquement la conduite circulaire en eau. On peut utiliser cette invention pour desservir un grand nombre de sorties d'eau. On peut effectuer la mise en application de l'invention de façons diverses, non limitées au procédé décrit par l'exemple.
