Abstract

The invention relates to a storeyed housing for livestock, such as for instance a battery cage or a breeding cage for poultry, comprising a heating and/or cooling device for influencing the temperature of a bottom of a storey of the storeyed housing, wherein the heating and/or cooling device is placed in or near the bottom of the storey.

Description

Storeyed housing for livestock
The invention relates to a storeyed housing for livestock, such as for instance a battery cage or a breeding cage for poultry. The invention particularly relates to influencing the temperature i n the storeyed housing so that an advantageous climate is created and maintained for a good health and/or development of the livestock in the storeyed housing. The invention furthermore relates to a method for housing livestock in a storeyed housing.
Up until now heated air is commonly used in the stables for housing animals. To that end the air in the stables is heated by means of for instance gas or oil-fired heat cannons. For achieving a more or less homogeneous temperature distribution the heated air is circulated by means of fans. It is also known to guide the heated air to the livestock by means of a tube system .
The use of known heating systems, in which the heated air has to be forcedly circulated within the stable by the fans, has various drawbacks:
Hot air tends to rise, resulting in a heat gradient in vertical direction; that means that the air up in the stable is warmer than the air below in the stable. In order to regulate the temperature in the various storeys of the storeyed housing so as to counter this natural gradient, a lot of hot air has to be moved by many or large fans.
Disposing many or large fans within the stable results in a lot of noise and vibrations which adversely affects the livestock in the storeyed housing.
Moreover the animals will continuously be exposed to draught which may also adversely affect the health of the livestock. The windchill temperature may strongly differ at a slightly lower or higher air speed. If the stable temperature is 35°C, the air humidity 50% and the air speed 0 meter/second, the windchill temperature will also be 35 °C. If however the air speed is 2.5 meter/second, the windchill temperature will drop to 22.2°C, a difference of 1 2.8°C.
At a stable temperature of 35°C, air humidity of 70% and an air speed of 0 meter/second, the windchill temperature is 38.3°C. If the air speed goes up to 2.5 meter/second, the windchill temperature is 24.4°C; a difference of 1 3.9 °C. So in distributing the heat through the air, the air speed is of great influence on the windchill temperature. As a result a proper windchill temperature can hardly be set adequately.
It is an object of the invention to improve on this.
To that end the invention provides a storeyed housing for livestock, comprising a heating and/or cooling device for influencing the temperature of a bottom of a storey of the storeyed housing, wherein the heating and/or cooling device is placed in or near the bottom of the storey.
With the device according to the invention the local temperature in a storey can now be regulated by heating and/or cooling the bottom of the storey in question.
In an embodiment the heating and/or cooling device comprises a heat exchanger. Preferably the heat exchanger comprises ducts for passing a heating or cooling fluid through them, and supply and discharge apertures for supplying and discharging the fluid. An advantage of using such a heating or cooling fluid is that the actual heating or cooling device for heating or cooling the fluid can be placed at a distance from the storeyed housing. As a result it may for example be possible to connect several storeys of the storeyed housing and/or several storeyed housings to one and the same heating and cooling device. Moreover such a heating or cooling device often generates a lot of noise as it is provided with pumps, compressors, burners etcetera. By placing this source of noise at a distance from the storeyed housing, the level of noise and vibrations in or near the storeyed housing can be considerably reduced, which has a positive influence on the animals in the storeyed housing. For regulating the desired temperature of the bottom of a storey, the ducts of the heat exchanger are connected to the heating and/or cooling device via the supply and discharge apertures so that heating and/or cooling fluid can flow through the heat exchanger. The temperature of the bottom of a storey may be regulated by regulating the temperature of the heating and/or cooling fluid, regulating the flow rate of the heating and/or cooling fluid through the ducts of the heat exchanger, or in another known manner.
In an embodiment the heat exchanger comprises a first duct and a second duct, wherein the heat exchanger is adapted for a flow direction of the fluid through the first duct that is opposite to the flow direction of the fluid through the second duct. Preferably the first duct is situated adjacent to the second duct. As a result the temperature differences in the storey floor are considerably levelled, as a result of which a homogeneous temperature distribution over the bottom of the storey is created. Because of such a homogeneous temperature distribution, the animals can make use of the entire surface of the bottom of the storey, as a result of which this surface can be optimally used.
In an embodiment the heating and/or cooling device is shaped like a level plate. Said level plate may then form the bottom on which the animals live.
To that end the level plate may at the upper side be provided with stable litter. The heating and/or cooling device may also consist of round or flat, oval hoses.
In an embodiment the bottom of the storey comprises a conveyor belt. Preferably the heating and/or cooling device is placed between a circulating belt of the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt here forms the bottom on which the animals live, which bottom may or may not be provided with stable litter. By using the conveyor belt on which the animals live, the stable litter can easily be refreshed. Putting the animals on the belt and delivering them is also easy by letting the conveyor belt run.
In a further embodiment a netting bottom, grid or perch is placed above the conveyor belt. In this case the animals live on the netting bottom, the grid or perches. The excrements of the animals fall on the conveyor belt and can easily be dried and be removed between times. Apart from heating the bottom of the storey, the heating and/or cooling device in this case also ensures the drying of the excrements. By effectively drying and removing these excrements between times, the ammonia production of said excrements is counteracted to a great extent, which is advantageous to the hygiene and creates a healthier stable air in the storeyed housing.
In an embodiment the heating and/or cooling device comprises a regulating device for controlling the heating and/or cooling device for regulating the temperature of the bottom a storey to an adjustable value of the temperature. In the course of their lives the optimal temperature of the bottom the animals live on varies. In the beginning the animals need a lot of heat. By supplying said heat to the bottom on which the animals live, the animals have a cool head and warm legs. In case of poultry the residue yolk will be digested better as young chicks will always have a warm belly. The risk of coli-contamination is thus reduced. When the animals are a little older their need for heat becomes less. This need may be met by setting the wanted value of the temperature of the bottom of the storeyed housing. In an embodiment the regulating device is adapted for separately regulating the temperature of the bottom of several storeys. As a result every level of the storeyed housing can be provided with the best temperature for the animals living thereon. Moreover the stable air in a stable will always be warmer above than it is below. By using the bottom heating/cooling the optimal living temperature for the animals on the various levels can be achieved despite said natural gradient.
In an embodiment of the storeyed housing the heating and/or cooling device comprises storage means for temporarily storing warm and/or cold fluid, respectively. In this way the heat released by animals in a later stage of life, can be stored, for instance in the ground, and be reused for warming the animals in the breeding stage.
The invention furthermore provides a heating and/or cooling device suitable for a storeyed housing as described above.
The invention furthermore provides a method for housing livestock in a storeyed housing, wherein a temperature of a bottom of a storey is regulated by means of a heating and/or cooling device placed in or near the bottom of the storey.
In an embodiment a regulating device controls the heating and/or cooling device for regulating the temperature of the bottom of a storey to a set value of the temperature.
Preferably the temperature of the bottom of several storeys is regulated separately by the regulating device.
Because of the storeyed system with bottom heating and/or bottom cooling according to the invention the well-being, health and animal quality can be improved. Moreover the NH3 emission, the CO2 production, the stench and energy consumption can be reduced. Moreover it results in a better stable utilisation, and lower costs of labour.
The invention will be further elucidated on the basis of the exemplary embodiment shown in the attached drawings, in which:
Figure 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a bottom assembly for housing livestock according to the invention;
Figure 2 shows a second exemplary embodiment of a bottom assembly for housing livestock according to the invention;
Figure 3 shows a schematic view in cross-section of a storeyed housing for livestock according to the invention.
The exemplary embodiment as shown in figure 1 comprises a level hollow plate 1 which is provided with substantially parallel oriented ducts 2, 3, wherein the ducts 2, 3 extend in the longitudinal direction of the bottom assembly (in a direction practically transverse to the cross-section of figure 1 ). Said heating or cooling plate 1 has been placed in a frame 5 by means of a support 4.
The device as shown in figure 1 is furthermore provided with a belt conveyor, wherein the heating and/or cooling plate 1 has been placed between a circulating conveyor belt 6. At the upper side of said belt conveyor stable litter 7 has been strewn on which the animals can be placed.
The ducts 2, 3 in the heating and/or cooling device 1 are substantially oriented parallel to the conveyance direction of the belt conveyor. As a result the supply and discharge apertures for a heating and/or cooling fluid can be placed at the head end of the bottom assembly, as a result of which they can easily be connected to a heating and/or cooling device which preferably is spaced apart from the bottom assembly. For achieving a homogeneous temperature of the heating and/or cooling plate 1 , the heat exchanger 1 is connected such that the fluid in two adjacent ducts 2, 3 flows in opposite directions with respect to each other. In this exemplary embodiment the supply apertures of the ducts 2 and the discharge apertures of the ducts 3 are placed at the one head end of the bottom assembly, whereas at the other head end of this bottom assembly the discharge apertures of the ducts 2 and the supply apertures of the ducts 3 are placed. The flow direction in the ducts 2 thus is opposite the flow direction in the ducts 3.
In a second exemplary embodiment as shown in figure 2, the animals live on the grids, perches or a netting bottom 8 disposed above the upper belt of the belt conveyor.
Figure 3 shows an exemplary embodiment of the storeyed housing that is provided with five storeys 1 1 -1 5. The bottom of each storey is designed as shown in figure 1 . Said bottom may also be designed as shown in figure 2. The height 16 of a storey and the width of the storeyed housing 17 are typically adapted to the type of animal housed in there. The length of such a storeyed housing may be approximately 100-1 50 meter. Furthermore each storey, depending on the length installed, will both comprise feeding devices 1 8 and drinking facilities 1 9. A storey may furthermore be provided with lighting means 20, for instance lamps or neon tubes. In order to emit extra radiation heat to the animals in the breeding stage, heating lamps may be suspended, which preferably emit a radiation heat that can be regulated in accordance with the need of the animals. When the storeyed housing is used for poultry, a storey 1 1 -1 5 may also comprise resting and/or laying facilities.
It is observed here that the exemplary embodiments of the invention described above are meant to illustrate the invention and not to limit the invention. An expert will certainly be capable of designing alternative embodiments that fall within the scope of protection of the attached claims. For instance the embodiment described above mentions the use of a heating and/or cooling fluid that flows through ducts of a heat exchanger for influencing the temperature of the bottom. Alternatively use may naturally also be made of electric heating and/or cooling devices, such as for instance an electric resistance element or a Peltier element.
