Description

sauwohl

The invention relates to a stable for pigs for pig fattening, comprising an inner area with at least one mast bay and a covered outlet area separated from the inner area by a wall, wherein the wall has at least one

Passage, which passage with a particular lowerable

Passage gate is coverable, taking a pig through the passage of the

Mastbucht can get into the outlet area, the fattening bay has a feeding area and / or a lying area.

Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for operating such a pig housing for pig fattening.

In modern pig farms are usually used stables, which on the one hand pigs a free moving, on the other hand, but also a simple cleaning of

Enable stables. For this purpose, a stable usually in an interior of the stable or a stable room, one or more mast pens, which represent a resting area and / or feeding area for pigs, and a mostly covered

Outlet area to provide the pigs with an extended range of movement. In order to ensure a cleaning of the stable, soils of the stable, often both a bottom of the mast bay and a bottom of the outlet area, are usually formed as slatted floors. The soil is usually formed with a plurality of narrow columns, which represent passages for faeces and urine of the pig in arranged below the columns slurry channels. Faeces and urine can be removed quickly and practicably. However, the passages and the manure channels are difficult to clean areas and often lead to increased bacterial load in the house and large odor in the barn and an environment of the house. This problem is often counteracted by the fact that filter systems are installed in the barn, especially to reduce odor nuisance of the environment of the stall.

This is where the invention starts. The object of the invention is to provide a stable of the type mentioned, which allows a high level of hygiene and cleanliness in the barn and a low stress level or a pet-friendly attitude of pigs. Further, it is an object to provide a method of the type mentioned, which allows a high level of hygiene and cleanliness in the barn and a low stress level or a pet-friendly attitude of pigs. The object is achieved in that in a stall of the type mentioned in the outlet region has a Kotbereich formed with a closed or planbefestigten soil and a Entmistungseinrichtung to carry away pork faeces from the Kotbereich. Basis of the invention is the idea of a stable as possible, taking into account a natural way of life or a natural behavior of pigs

embody. Pigs are contrary to frequently used attributions very clean animals, which is why a high degree of hygiene and cleanliness in the barn is achievable that a design of the stall is adapted to a basic instinctual behavior or natural needs of a pig and thus designed particularly pet-friendly. This is achieved in particular by the fact that the stable in particular a lying area protected by environmental influences and / or

Having feeding area and a farther arranged there Kotbereich, since pigs preferably kote as far as possible from a lying area and / or feeding area.

According to the invention, it is correspondingly advantageous for at least one mast bay with a feeding area and / or lying area to be arranged in the interior area, and the dropping area to be arranged in the outlet area. Thus, the natural impulse of the pigs is maintained, kot in the faeces area or to urinate and keep the fattening bay clean. Furthermore, such an arrangement, which corresponds to the natural drive behavior of pigs, reduces their stress level so that a high meat quality can be produced. By the Kotbereich is not formed with a conventional slatted floor, but with a, in particular completely, closed soil or a planbefestigten soil, an easy cleanability of the soil is guaranteed and in particular a germ load in this area greatly reduced. Furthermore, this also advantageously a risk of injury to pigs reduced because the usual columns of a slat floor often lead to injuries to claws of pigs; this is of particular importance as these injuries take place in a particularly germ-laden area and, accordingly, have a negative impact on pig health and stress levels and, in particular, on the well-being of the pig Animals can cause. Usually, an entire outlet area is formed with a closed bottom. By the provided Entmistungseinrichtung with which pig faeces and in particular urine from the Kotbereich is transported away, it is ensured that a degree of contamination of the Kotbereiches can be kept small. Has proven this purpose, if the Entmistungseinrichtung is designed as a slide system, in particular as Faltschieberanlage or Klappschieberanlage. In addition, it has been shown that in this way a massive reduction of one

Odor nuisance is achievable, so that can be dispensed with additional filter systems. Appropriately, it is provided that the faeces area is cleaned several times a day with the manure removal device of faeces and especially urine.

In this context, closed soil or planified soil refers to a soil in contrast to a slatted floor, that is to say in particular a soil without intended gaps, through which faeces can be discharged into a slurry channel arranged below the gaps.

It is advantageous if at least one, in particular controllable, passage gate is provided in order to cover the at least one passage, preferably in such a way that a pig can pass through the passage from the mast bay into the outlet area. The at least one passage gate can be designed to cover the at least one passage at least partially or completely. Depending on

In application requirements, the port may be configured to present at least one optical obstacle and / or obstruction to air exchange or draft through the passageway and / or an obstacle to passage of the pigs through the passageway.

Thus, it has been proven that the passage gate is formed as or with a, formed in particular with plastic strips, curtain which at least partially, preferably completely covers the passage, the curtain passing through a pig from a mast bay in the outlet region through the Passage allows. Thus, the passage can be closed or covered with the curtain and at the same time enable a pig to pass from a mast bay into the outlet area. A well-being of pigs can be improved if the curtain is at least partially light-transparent, preferably transparent, formed. Advantageously, it can be provided that the passage gate is formed, the

Close passage or open. A passage gate is in this case, in particular lowerable, preferably lowerable vertically, from an open position into one

Closed position executed movable.

It is favorable if the passage gate is designed such that in the

Opening position a runaway of a pig from a fattening bay in the

Outlet area allows through the passage and is prevented in the closed position. But it can also be provided that even in the closed position, a passage through a pig through the passage is made possible, for example, in the

Passage gate with a or designed as a curtain.

If the passage gate is designed to be lowerable, it is prevented that the passage gate can be opened in the passage direction by pressing against the passage gate. It has proved to be favorable when the passage gate is designed to be rotatable about an axis of rotation aligned in the passage direction in order to pass through

Pivoting the through gate to open or close. A lowering of the passageway door thus takes place by a rotational movement. Advantageously, the passage gate on a side wall facing the outlet region, in particular the entire passage, preferably at least at both lateral passage edges and / or a passage lower edge, arranged overlapping. As a result, accessibility of a pig to a lateral edge or lower edge of the passageway from the interior area is made difficult or prevented in order to prevent the pig from being forced to push the passageway. It can be provided that the passage gate can be opened by pressing a pig from the outlet area against the passage gate, in particular a lateral and / or lower edge, or edge of the passage gate. Appropriately, a pressing element on

Durchgangsstor be arranged on a side facing the outlet region of the passage gate, which protrudes transversely, in particular orthogonally, to a direction of movement of the passage gate from the passage gate, so that the passage gate can be opened by a pushed by a pig in the direction of movement of the passage gate pressing against the pressing member, optionally displaceable or is pivotable. In this way, it is practicable that a pig can open the passage gate even when the gate is closed in order to access the interior. Transverse to a direction of movement in this context means non-parallel to the direction of movement. A direction of movement of the passage gate means in this context a direction in which the passage gate when opening or closing of the passage gate movable, for example verschiebar or

swiveling, is.

It is favorable for a well-being of pigs, if that at least one

Passage gate at least partially light transparent, preferably transparent, is formed. For this purpose, the passage gate is preferably formed with a light-transparent plastic.

For a low stress level of the animals, it has proven useful when several mast pens are arranged in the interior and the wall has several passages, in particular each passage is assigned only a single mast bay, so that a pig, starting from the outlet area by a certain passage only to one can reach certain fattening bay. Appropriately, each mast bay can be assigned a single passage here. In order to prevent a mutual blocking of pigs in one pass, in particular in the course of a dominance behavior of the pigs, it may be favorable if a fattening bay more

Passages are assigned so that a pig can pass from a mast bay over several passages in the outlet area.

It is expedient if the at least one passage has a width which essentially corresponds to a width of the at least one mast bay. In this way, a risk of injury is reduced if several pigs want to pass simultaneously from the fattening bay through the passage in the outlet area. This is especially true when a plurality of juxtaposed mast pens associated with a passage which has a width which corresponds to a total width of the plurality of mast bays arranged side by side. For a cleanliness, it is practicable if the mast bay or mast bays connected to the wall or connect so that no corner between the wall and a fattening bay forming fencing is formed by the same. Pigs like to kill in corners, especially on an outside wall. In this way this is prevented. In addition, dirt is prevented from accumulating in such a usually difficult-to-clean corner. Especially It can be advantageously provided that the at least one passage has a width which essentially corresponds to a width of the wall. In this way, a particularly free leakage of pigs from the mast bays in the outlet area allows and also achieved a simple cleanability of a transition area between mast bays and outlet area. In particular, an entire front area of the wall is opened by opening or raising a passage gate covering this passage, whereby a particularly simple accessibility via the passage to the mast bays is achievable. Particularly preferably, it can be provided that a plurality of juxtaposed mast pens is associated with a passage which has a width which corresponds to a total width of the plurality of mast pens arranged next to one another.

It is practical if at least one, in particular formed with plastic strips, curtain is provided which covers the at least one passage at least partially, preferably completely. A well-being of pigs can be improved if the curtain is at least partially light-transparent, preferably transparent, formed. In particular, the curtain can be provided as an alternative or in addition to a passage gate or have a passage gate such a curtain.

It is advantageously provided that the inner region has at least one controllably adjustable window and at least one airflow rate sensor in order to determine an airflow speed in the stall, in particular matched to a

Opening state of the at least one port, to regulate, preferably to an average air flow rate less than 5 m / s, preferably between 0.2 m / s and 2 m / s. In particular, it has a

Air flow speed between 1 km / h and 2 km / h particularly proven. This ensures a particularly continuous mixing or in particular a continuous exchange of the stable air with outside air, whereby a

Odor exposure in the stable and an odor in an environment of the stable can be further reduced. The inner area expediently has a plurality of, in particular separately, controllably adjustable windows. For efficient odor removal and a high level of well-being of pigs, has become an average Air flow rate less than 5 m / s, preferably between 0.2 m / s and 2 m / s, proven.

A practicable stable construction is achievable if the stable is formed with a supporting structure, in particular comprising vertical supports and / or beams connected to a truss, on which panels are arranged to form walls, in particular outer walls, of the house. Preferably, the panels are formed opaque or opaque. It has been proven that the stable or an inner area of the house is formed with opaque or opaque outer walls, so that ambient light or sunlight substantially only over the at least one passage or these passing through gates and / or optionally

provided windows can penetrate into the interior of the stable. It is favorable if the at least one window is designed to be opaque or closable.

Preferably, the at least one window with a displaceable or

be formed lowerable panel, wherein the panel is preferably opaque or

is formed opaque. It is advantageous if one or more wall sections of walls, in particular outer walls, of the barn are formed with one or more, preferably controllable, displaceable, in particular lowerable, panels. In this way, a ventilation of the house can be carried out efficiently.

It has proven useful that the aforementioned panels are formed with or from sheet metal, wherein the sheet is preferably formed with or made of stainless or stainless steel.

Background of the aforementioned, in particular opaque, educations of the stable or the interior of the barn, in particular of outer walls and windows, it is in the interior of the barn in comparison to an environment of the stable or the outlet area of the stable gloomy or reduced lighting intensity

Lighting situation. This supports a drive behavior described above or the natural requirements of pigs corresponding feces behavior of pigs, so that a killing and / or urination of pigs preferably takes place in the outlet area or in the fecal area. For a workable

Temperature control or temperature control in the stable, it is beneficial if panels have a thermal insulation or thermal insulation or on panels such is applied. It is practicable if the at least one passage and the at least one window are arranged on opposite sides of the inner area, preferably in north-south direction. This allows an efficient air exchange of stall air with

Ambient air, especially at elevated outside temperatures. It has proved useful for this purpose that the at least one passage on the south side of the stable and the at least one window are arranged on the north side of the stable. It is preferred if the wall of the barn, or another, especially south-facing, wall of the barn is completely openable to allow a particularly good exchange of air. It has proven useful if the outlet area at least partially south of the wall or the passage

is arranged.

It is favorable if one or more mast bays are arranged in such a way in the inner region, that their longitudinal direction is aligned in the direction of the passage or passages. This helps to reduce the stress of pigs in the fattening pens, apparently because a fattening bay provides a visual guide towards the exit area or passageway.

A cleanliness in the barn can be further increased and a stress level of pigs can be reduced if the outlet area has a pig shower, which is preferably arranged above the drop zone. In addition, by arranging the pig shower above the drop zone, a cleanability of the drop zone by the dung removal device is further facilitated. The pig's shower is suitable

designed to lead in addition to water and a detergent in the outlet area, in particular in the Kotbereich. It is preferred in this case if several, in particular separately operable, pig showers are provided.

Advantageously, it is provided that the outlet area a Wühlbereich and a

Has Wühlmaterialzufuhranlage to unload Wühlmaterial in Wühlbereich.

As a result, according to a natural need of pigs after rummaging or rolling in a rag, a stress level of pigs can be reduced, and furthermore pig cleanliness can be increased since the rotting material acts as a reaming agent or cleaning material in a raking or rolling of a pig which ablates possible contamination with faeces from a body surface of the pig, for example. In particular, hay, straw and grass have proved successful as rooting material or grass silage and / or corn silage. At the same time, the rooting material can also be designed as lining material in order to further increase the well-being of pigs. It is correspondingly advantageous if the shred material supply system is designed to supply such shred material to the shred area or to discharge it there.

A particularly high degree of cleanliness in the rooting area is achievable if the outlet area has a further manure removal device in order to de-muck the rooting area. This Entmistungseinrichtung can expediently as a slide system, in particular as Faltschieberanlage or Klappschieberanlage is formed.

It is advantageously provided that the rooting area only when needed with the

Manure is cleaned.

It has proven useful that the rooting region is arranged at least in sections between the dropping area and the wall. This makes it possible for a pig to pass through the rooting area after killing in the faeces area, so that advantageously a previously mentioned cleaning effect of a body surface of the pig can be achieved

Wühlmaterial is used. This applies in particular if the rooting region is arranged between the dropping area and the wall in such a way that a pig can only reach the at least one passage from the dropping area via the rooting area.

It is practical if the faeces area and the rooting area are separated from each other by a floor elevation that can be overridden by pigs. This makes it possible to reduce or prevent the mixing of faeces from the faeces area with shredded material from the rooting area. The outlet area is thus preferably divided into two, namely in the

Kotbereich on the one hand and the Wühlbereich other hand.

It has proved to be favorable if one or more pig drinks are arranged between the dropping area and the rooting area in order to give a pig

To provide drinking fluid. In practice, it has been shown that pigs urinate preferentially in a place which has a high degree of moisture, so that it can be achieved in this way that a urination of pigs in the vicinity of the Kotbereiches or Kotbereich takes place. Appropriately, it can be provided that a soil in an area in which a pig drinks is arranged, at least in sections, a slope in the direction Kotbereich has to guide moisture or urine in the Kotbereich or in the direction of Kotbereiches.

It is advantageous if the feces area and / or optionally the rake area each have a ground surface which at least in sections has a slope to a lowered point or lowered recessed edge of the ground surface, so that feces or shredded material collects at the lowered point. As a result, carryover of faeces from the faeces area or shredded material from the swelling area by pigs is reduced. It has proven useful if the slope has an inclination between 1% and 4%, preferably about 3%.

It is advantageous if a bottom surface of the at least one mast bay at least in sections has a slope in the direction of passage, which slope

in particular between 1% and 10%, preferably between 3% and 10%. As a result, moisture accumulation in the mast bay are avoided and discharged in the direction of passage.

A stress level of pigs is greatly reduced if the lying area and / or feeding area have a floor temperature control device to a

Set floor temperature of the lying area and / or feeding area defined. The floor temperature control device is expediently designed as a floor heating device and / or floor cooling device. It is practicable if at least one temperature measuring sensor is arranged in the inner area and / or in the mast bay and / or in a floor of the mast bay in order to regulate the floor temperature control device as a function of a temperature measured with the temperature measuring sensor. A particularly low stress level of pigs is achievable if the

Floor tempering device is adjustable so that a floor temperature is adaptable to a lying behavior of the pigs. With the

Floor temperature control device is usually a floor temperature of 20 ° C to 40 ° C adjustable. It is advantageous if the feeding area and the lying area each have a floor temperature control device in order to set or regulate a floor temperature of the feeding area and the lying area separately. Appropriately, it is provided that the feeding area is assigned at least one feeding trough, so that located in the feeding area pigs can eat from the feeding trough. It is favorable for a stress-free feeding, if the feed trough is arranged on a longitudinal side of the mast bay. It is understood that it is advantageously provided that a longitudinal direction of the feed trough is aligned substantially parallel to a longitudinal direction of the mast bay. A space-optimized design of the fattening bay is made possible by feeding troughs on both sides of the fattening bay, preferably along a

Longitudinal extent of the mast bay, are arranged. It is advantageously provided that at least one feeding trough is assigned to the feeding area, so that pigs located in the feeding area can eat from the feeding trough, wherein the feeding trough has a feed receiving surface, which in one

Cross-section orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the feed trough is substantially formed with two interconnected vertices, which have an angle between 100 ° and 140 °, preferably between 110 ° and 130 °, more preferably about 120 ° to each other, so that a groove for receiving Food is formed. In this way, it can be achieved that a quantity of food introduced into or applied to the feed trough or to the feed intake surface of the feed trough is distributed evenly in the feed trough in a short time, in order to avoid eating-space disputes between pigs during feeding. It is beneficial if the legs at a lowest point of the

Feed receiving surface, in particular directly, are interconnected.

At a distance of a pig while eating from a feeding trough of one

Feeding trough middle or lowest point pretend a feed intake surface of a feed trough can be advantageously provided that a respectively on a leading edge and / or trailing edge of the feed receiving surface further extended towards the ground distance holding surface is provided, which in an orthogonal

Cross-section through a longitudinal direction of the feed trough has substantially a contour which has an angle between 0 ° and ± 30 ° with a vertical through the front edge and trailing edge of the feed receiving surface. This makes it possible that the distance holding surface presses when feeding a pig from the trough against the neck or the throat of the pig and thereby the pig is kept at a distance from the feeding trough center. It has proven to be the case that the

Distance holding surface plate-shaped and in particular substantially vertical is guided in the direction of the ground. Usually, a partition wall between the bays is provided above the feeding trough.

A feeding from the feeding trough is facilitated when the feeding trough one to a

Having feed receiving surface or distance holding surface subsequent, continued in the direction of the ground, the feed receiving surface undercutting front surface and / or back surface to allow a close approach of a pig to the feeding trough. For this purpose, it is particularly advantageous if the front surface and / or rear surface in an orthogonal cross section through the longitudinal direction of the feed trough an angle of more than 40 °, preferably more than 50 °, with a horizontal bottom surface on which the feed trough is abgestellt has. A simple cleanability is achievable if this angle is about 60 ° and / or the front surface or rear surface in the

Are formed substantially plate-shaped. In addition to a simple cleanability, a low-cost production of the feed trough is achievable if the feed trough is formed with, preferably made of, one or more metal plates. This is especially true when the feed trough is made from a single metal plate by bending the metal plate. An efficient and space-saving use of space is achievable if several mast bays are arranged side by side in the interior, with feeding areas of mast bays arranged next to one another being assigned a common feeding trough so that pigs can eat from different mast bays out of the common feeding trough. By sharing a feed trough of pigs from several fattening pens, a space requirement of feeding troughs can be greatly reduced, so that the pigs a larger area of residence, especially lying area, is available in the fattening pens. It has been shown that by sharing a feed trough, in particular in combination with a rationed feed intake, a higher weight gain of pigs can be achieved due to a feed intake between the pigs.

It is practicable if at least one, in particular controllable,

Food dispenser is provided to fill a feeding trough or more feeding troughs, in particular separately, with feed. It is advantageously provided that a plurality of pivotable gates are arranged in the outlet region, which can be connected by pivoting to a Fencing defining a fencing area, so that the outlet area

Pivoting the gates is divided into several fencing areas to separate pigs in different fencing areas from each other. This allows a flexible division of the discharge area into several fencing areas so that pigs can be divided into groups without stress, for example in the course of an imminent removal of notes from the barn or a delivery of pigs to the barn. Praktikabel is provided for this purpose that several gate piles are arranged in the outlet region, wherein one or more gates can be pivotally mounted on a gate post.

It is favorable when gates are arranged in the outlet region and connectable to each other, that by swiveling the gates each a fencing area can be erected immediately before passages through the wall, so that a pig, which passes through a passage in the outlet area, in

Fencing area is located. As a result, pigs can be separated by expelling them from the inner area or the fattening bay through a certain passage, in particular if each passage is assigned to a single fattening bay, immediately before the passage.

A subdivision of the outlet area is particularly practicable achievable in that in the outlet region at regular intervals gate piles are arranged on which gates are pivotally mounted so that by pivoting the gates fencing between gate posts and / or between gate posts and the wall can be built to the outlet area into several, in particular rectangular, preferably square, fencing areas to divide. It is expedient in this case if the gates have a gate length such that a gate bridges a distance between two gate piles as fencing. It is preferably provided that gate piles are arranged in rows in two mutually orthogonal directions at regular intervals in order to divide the outlet region with gates pivotally mounted on gates in rectangular or square fencing areas. In particular, when a passage gate is formed with or as a curtain to cover the at least one passage, it is expedient if at least one gate is provided in the outlet region, which is pivotable in front of the passage that pigs no longer from the outlet region through the passage can get into the fattening bay.

Advantageously, a high degree of cleanliness and a low stress level of the pigs can be achieved efficiently if a computer-aided control device, in particular, for controlling or regulating optionally through-doors, windows in the

Interior area, floor temperature control devices, food dispensing equipment for filling of feeding troughs and / or Entmistungseinrichtungen is provided.

It is preferred if a particularly computer-aided control device is provided for the control and regulation of feed dispensing devices for filling feed troughs, feeding material feeding device and manure removal devices.

It is favorable if measuring devices or sensors for the measurement of

Outside air temperature, indoor air temperature, air flow rate in the stable, floor temperature of the lying area and / or floor temperature of the feeding area are provided, wherein the control device and measuring devices or sensors for a measured data transmission between the control device and the

Measuring devices are designed so that a control or regulation by the control device in response to measurement data of the measuring devices

is feasible.

It has proven particularly useful in an embodiment mentioned above, if the particular computer-controlled control device for controlling or regulating of passage gates, windows in the interior and / or

Floor tempering devices is provided and measuring devices or

Sensors are provided for measuring an outside air temperature, indoor air temperature and / or air flow speed in the stable.

Furthermore, measuring devices or sensors for measuring a

Sun radiation and / or outside air flow velocity can be provided. The Control device may in particular also for controlling the

Wühlmaterialzufuhrvorrichtung be formed.

The further object of the invention is achieved by a method of the type mentioned above for operating a pig housing according to the invention designed for pigs. According to the above features, effects and

Advantages of a pig house for pigs according to the invention also enable a method for operating such a stable a high degree of hygiene and cleanliness in the barn and a low stress level of pigs. This is especially true when the discharge area has a closed area bottomed manure area and a manure removal facility for pork and manure

in particular to remove urine from the faeces area, whereby the faeces area with the manure removal device is de-milled several times a day. It is practicable if the spout area has a rooting area and a

Wühlmaterialzufuhreinrichtung has to unload Wühlmaterial in Wühlbereich, and the outlet region has a further Entmistungseinrichtung, wherein the Wühlbereich with the other Entmistungseinrichtung is demoted if necessary. Since a separate Kotbereich is provided for a Koten or urinating, it is sufficient if the Wühlbereich only be demoted if necessary.

It is advantageously provided that a manure removal of the feces area and / or a

Entmistung the Wühlbereiches with the respective Entmistungseinrichtung and / or optionally a supply of Wühlmaterial with the Wühlmaterialzufuhreinrichtung takes place at the same time with a feeding of pigs, wherein for feeding the pigs at least one feeding area associated with the feeding trough with a

Feed dispenser is filled with food. By filling the feeding trough, the pigs are lured into the fattening bay or their feeding area, so that then the fecal area or rooting area can be de-milled in a particularly practicable way, without the pigs hindering the dunging plant.

It is favorable, if a computer-aided control device is provided in particular, which feed dispensing devices for filling feed troughs and manure removal device (s) and optionally the shredding material feed device, in particular coordinated with one another, controls or regulates, preferably according to an aforementioned temporal procedure. In this way, the stable can be operated particularly efficiently. Further features, advantages and effects emerge from the following

Appropriately, in particular controllable lowered, passage gates 7 are provided to the

Passages to cover 6 and in particular to close or open. As can be seen in FIG. 1, the through-gates 7 are in this case arranged, on a wall side facing the outlet region 5, in an overlapping manner, in particular overlapping the entire passage 6. It has been proven that the passage gates 7 are formed with or as, in particular with plastic strips formed curtains, which cover the passages 6 at least partially, preferably completely, so

Pigs can pass through the curtains through the passages 6 in the outlet area even when closed with passage gates 7 passages 6. The outlet region 5 has a Kotbereich 10 and a Wühlbereich 12, wherein the Wühlbereich 12 between the Kotbereich 10 and the wall 4 is arranged. Both the Kotbereich 10 and the rooting area 12 are formed with a closed floor or planbefestigten soil, so without slatted floors to achieve a high level of hygiene and low odor. In Kotbereich 10 and Wühlbereich 12 a Entmistungseinrichtung 11 is provided, which is expediently designed as a slide system (shown in Fig. 2). This allows efficient cleaning of the Kotbereiches 10 and Wühlbereiches 12, in particular separately from each other. It is advantageously provided that a bottom surface in Kotbereich 10 and Wühlbereich 12 each have a gradient G to a lowered recess edge of the

Soil surface to guide feces or shredded material in the direction of the lowered point. As can be seen in FIGS. 1 and 2, the bottom surface in the drop zone 10 or root zone 12 is in each case formed with two inclined sections which meet at the recess edge and have a gradient G in the direction of the recess edge.

Both in Kotbereich 10 and in the Wühlbereich 12 is designed as a slide system Manure removal device 11 is provided, which is controllably movable for manure removal along a defined denermination direction E through the drop zone 10 or rolling zone 12, commonly referred to as drop path to faeces or wadding usually from the Kotbereich 10 or Wühlbereich 12 addition, often in one Collecting pit to transport.

Fig. 3 shows a schematic representation of another stable 1 according to the invention in a horizontal cross section in a plan view. The barn 1 is designed according to the features of the barn 1 of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 and only differs from this in that the passages 6 have a width which substantially corresponds to a width of the mast bays 3. That way are

7 corners avoided especially when opened or raised pass gates. It is particularly advantageous if a passage 7 is provided, which has a width which substantially corresponds to a width of the wall 4. The passage 6 then advantageously extends over a total width of all mast pens 3. This makes it particularly susceptible to soiling and easy to clean. Preferably, the passage gates 7 are formed such that they can be lifted completely, ie up to a lower edge of a stable ceiling, in order to achieve good air circulation.

In Fig. 4, a feed trough 15 according to the invention is shown schematically, which has proven to be particularly practical in practical use to fast food in the

Distribute feeding trough 15. In order to illustrate a shape of the feed trough 15, the feed trough 15 is in this case with a cross section through a longitudinal direction L of the

Feeding trough 15 shown. The feed trough 15 has a feed receiving surface 16, which is formed in a cross section orthogonal to the longitudinal direction L of the feed trough 15 substantially with two straight sections, which form a groove forming an angle of about 120 ° to each other and at a lowest point of the

Feed receiving surface 16 are connected directly to each other.

A distance of a pig while eating from the feed trough 15 of a

Futtertrog center is advantageously determined by a respective subsequent to a leading edge and trailing edge of the feed receiving surface 16 substantially vertically continued towards the ground distance holding surface 17. Practical is next the fodder trough 15 has a front surface 18 and a rear surface 19, which follow the fodder receiving surface 16 and continue towards the ground in the direction of the ground, in order to allow a close approach of a pig to the fodder trough 15. For this purpose, the front surface 18 and the rear surface 19 are expediently substantially plate-shaped and point in one

orthogonal cross-section through the longitudinal direction L of the feed trough 15 at an angle of about 60 ° to a horizontal bottom surface, when the feed trough 15 is placed on this. In Fig. 5 is a schematic representation of a discharge area 5 of a

Stable 1 according to the invention, wherein in the outlet region 5 more

pivotable gates 20 are arranged, which can be connected by pivoting to a fencing area defining fencing. The stable 1 can be designed in particular according to the features of the housing 1 of FIG. 1 or FIG. 2 or FIG. 3. The gates 20 are arranged in the outlet region 5 in such a way that, by pivoting the gates 20, a respective fencing area can be erected directly in front of the passages 6 through the wall 4. Pigs can get through it

Drifting from the interior 2 are separated by a passage 6 immediately before the passage 6. In particular, it is practical if 5 gates 20 are provided in the outlet region, which are pivotable in front of the passages 6 so that pigs can no longer pass from the outlet region 5 through the passages 6 into an inner region 2 of the housing 1. This has proven particularly useful when curtains are provided to cover the passages 6 and the passage gates 7 are formed with such curtains.

Advantageously, it is provided that pivotable gates 20 are arranged in the outlet area 5 such that a plurality of rectangular fencing areas are formed, which rectangular fencing areas are arranged adjacent to one another in the direction of width direction of the rectangular fencing areas. Praktikabel is provided that a rectangular

Fencing area thereby has a width of one gate length. In this way, in each case pigs of a fencing area can be guided particularly easily within the outlet area 5, by respectively enlarging and reducing a fencing area by, in particular, successive pivoting of a gate 20. Such an arrangement of fencing areas has proven to be particularly effective for sequentially driving pigs of a fencing area through an exit 22 of the outlet area 5 located in one of the fencing areas, for example to remove pigs separated in the fencing areas in succession. As can be seen in FIG. 5, by successively pivoting in each case one gate 20 of a fencing area, in which the exit 22 is located or which is widened to the exit 22, one each

Fencing area adjacent fencing area are extended to the output 22, so that pigs of the adjacent fencing area can get to the exit 22. In this way, all fencing areas can each be extended one after the other to the exit 22 in order to drive the pigs of a fencing area to the exit 22 one after the other.

Appropriately, it is provided that in the outlet region 5 in uniform

Gutter piles 21 are arranged at which the gates 20 are pivotally mounted. The gates 20 in this case have a gate length such that a gate 20 bridges a distance between two gate piles 21 as fencing.

Preferably, a stable 1 is provided, comprising a lying area 9 with a

Underfloor heating as a floor temperature control device 14 with a bottom gradient of preferably 3% to 10%. In this case, for the ventilation of the stable 1 or inner area 2 of the stable 1 windows 13, in particular on a narrow side of the inner region 2, are provided, which are partially or entirely, preferably by pulling the window 13, can be opened. The passages 6 are expediently arranged on another side of the housing 1 or inner area 2, preferably opposite the windows 13, wherein the passages 6, in particular depending on a temperature in the housing 1, can be opened. The outlet area 5 has a first practical manhole path as a rooting area 12 and a second manhole area as a dropping area 10. Preferably, at least one pork drink is arranged between the first muck track and the second muck track. It has proven useful when a pig shower is installed above the second manure track.

A stable 1 according to the invention makes it possible to achieve a high level of hygiene and cleanliness and at the same time a low stress level of pigs. For this purpose, it is provided that the stable 1 a natural instinctual behavior or natural needs Considering pigs in separate areas, in particular a lying area 9 or feeding area 8 and separate faeces area 10, is divided and at the same time the Kotbereich 10 combined with a closed bottom combined with a Entmistungseinrichtung 11. It is advantageous to dispense with an otherwise usual slatted floor, whereby in particular an emanating from this hygienic risk and a risk of injury to pigs is avoided. By in an advantageous embodiment, further, a rooting area 12 and / or a with a

Tempering device temperature-controlled lying area 9 or feeding area 8

pigs are conditioned on their natural driving behavior, in particular to use the different areas in accordance with their intended purposes, as well as reducing a stress level of the pigs. Thus, the stable 1 is designed in particular animal-friendly and allows a particularly high degree of well-being of the pigs. By an advantageous provision of controllably adjustable windows 13 in the inner region 2 combined with at least one

Air flow sensor to regulate an air flow velocity in the stable 1 in particular matched to the opening conditions of the passage gates 7, in particular an odor load can be further reduced, so that it is possible to dispense with filter systems. In this way, pork can be produced with high quality and, moreover, the relevant factor in the pig fattening of an environment of the stable 1 can be reduced.
