Abstract

Battery-hen cage with adjustable perch for accommodating hens in a manner which is better for the species and for separating sick hens and dead hens. The hen cage has a loose, installed ceiling which can be moved approximately 10 cm upwards or downwards. The perch is raised up during the day, in a longitudinal slot through a plurality of cages, by means of a wire cable pull. During the night, the perch is lowered. Raising and lowering is necessary because the cage interior would be too narrow during the day and defecation and cannibalism would result. The separation of sick hens and dead hens is possible in that said sick hens and dead hens no longer sit on the perch at night, and they can be very easily removed by a slide without any great any financial outlay. In the existing cage for accommodating hens, all cages had to be sorted through by hand daily, which is not financially viable. If dead hens remain on the floor, then there is the danger of poisonous corpse bacteria being transferred into the eggs. Moreover, the cadavers are eaten by the living hens.

Description

Tierkäfig-Batier ie-Hüh nerkäf ig Animal cage Batier ie chicken cage

Die Erfindung betrifft eine Verbesserung eines Batterie-Hühnerkäfiges, mit einer verstellbaren Sitzstange.The invention relates to an improvement of a battery chicken cage, with an adjustable perch.

Es sind Batterie-Hühnerkäfige ohne Sitzstangen seit Jahrzehnte bekannt. Das Deutsche Tierschutzgesetz vom 24. Juli 1972 fordert: Niemand darf ein Tier ohne vernünftigen Grund Schmerzen, Leiden oder Schäden zufügen. In Paragr. 2 Tierhaltung heißt es: Verhaltensgerechte Unterbringung gewähren. Seit Menschengedenken bis zur Einführung der Batterie-Käfighühnerhaltung wurden Hühner nur mit Sitzstangen gehalten. Der Urselbsterhaltungstrieb der Hühner ist, sich nachts auf höher gelegenen Sitzplätzen in Sicherheit zu bringen. Nur so hatten die Hühner in der freien Natur eine Überlebenschance vor ihren natürlichen Feinden. Selbst Hühner, die über neun Monate in Batterie-Hühnerkäfigen ohne Sitzstangen gelebt hatten, versuchten mit letzter Kraft vor Angst sich auf höher gelegenen Sitzstangen in Sicherheit zu bringen.Battery chicken cages without perches have been known for decades. The German Animal Welfare Act of July 24, 1972 demands: Nobody is allowed to take an animal without it cause pain, suffering, or harm for any reasonable cause. In Paragr. 2 animal husbandry it says: Provide behavioral accommodation. From time immemorial to With the introduction of battery cage rearing, chickens were only kept with perches. The chickens' primary instinct for self-preservation is to sit on higher seats at night to bring to safety. This was the only way for the chickens to survive in the wild from their natural enemies. Even chickens that have been in battery chicken cages for over nine months had lived without perches, tried with the last of their strength from fear to bring higher perches to safety.

ich bin davon überzeugt, daß durch eine verhaltensgerechte Nachtruhe eine bessere Verdauung, weniger Streß, weniger Krankheiten, ein größerer Gewinn zu erzielen ist. Auch die Fußmuskulatur der Hühner wird auf den Sitzstangen artgemäß entlastet. Die Sitzstangen werden im Käfig während der Tageszeit hochgezogen, um den Kanibalismus zu vermeiden und um eine Bekotung der Hühner zu verhindern.I am convinced that by getting a proper night's sleep better digestion, less stress, less sickness, greater gain can be achieved. The foot muscles of the chickens also become species-appropriate on the perches relieved. The perches are pulled up around the cage during the daytime to avoid cannibalism and to prevent the chickens from being pooped.

Wenn beim Hochziehen der Sitzstangen Hühner auf der Sitzstange sitzenbleiben, so müssen sie die bewegliche Decke des Käfiges mit ihrem Körper tragen. Dieses ist sehr unangenehm für die Tiere, so daß sie ohne Verletzungsmöglichkeit die Sitzstange sehr schnell verlassen. Hühner ohne Sitzstangen in Käfigen zu halten, ist für mich eine der größten Tierquälereien. Batterie-Hühnerkäfige, in denen die Sitzstangen rauf und runter bewegt werden können, sind mir persönlich nicht bekannt.If chickens stay on the perch when pulling up the perches, so they have to carry the movable ceiling of the cage with their bodies. This is very uncomfortable for the animals, so that they can sit on the perch without any possibility of injury left very quickly. Caging chickens without perches is for me one of the greatest cruelty to animals. Battery chicken cages in which the perches that can be moved up and down are not known to me personally.

Die Erfindung soll nun anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung, die ein Ausführungsbeispiel darstellt, näher erläutert werden.The invention will now be based on the accompanying drawing, which shows an embodiment represents, are explained in more detail.

Es zeigen Fig. 1 eine perspektivische Ansicht einer speziellen Ausführungsform des erfindungsgemäßen Käfiges, Fig. 2 einen Grundriß des Käfiges nach Fig. 1.1 shows a perspective view of a special embodiment of the cage according to the invention, FIG. 2 is a plan view of the cage according to FIG. 1.
