Abstract
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.
In den Fig. 1 und 2 sind gleiche Teile mit den gleichen Bezugszeichen versehen, wobei zur Unterscheidung die entsprechenden Bezugszechen in der Fig. 2 mit einem Strich versehen sind.In Figs. 1 and 2, the same parts are given the same reference numerals provided, the corresponding reference numerals in FIG. 2 are marked with a line.
Fig. 1, durchlaufendes Rundrohr 3 in der Mitte parallel oben zum Futtertrog 7 so eingebaut, daß es mit einem Motor gedreht werden kann.Fig. 1, continuous round tube 3 in the middle parallel to the top of the feed trough 7 installed so that it can be rotated with a motor.
Fig. 1, bewegliche Decke 6, die auf vier Zapfen an zwei gegenüberliegenden Wänden 4 eingebaut sind, lose aufliegt. Die Decke 6 kann nach oben etwa 10 cm gehoben werden, wo wiederum vier Zapfen an zwei gegenüberliegenden Seiten es verhindern, daß die Decke 6 nach oben herausgehoben werden kann.Fig. 1, movable ceiling 6, which on four pins on two opposite Walls 4 are installed, rests loosely. The ceiling 6 can be lifted up about 10 cm where, in turn, four pins on two opposite sides prevent it, that the ceiling 6 can be lifted upwards.
Fig. 1, Sitzstange 11 , aufgeschlitzt auf durchgehendes Flacheisen aufgepreßt.Fig. 1, perch 11, slit on a continuous flat iron pressed on.
Fig. 1, Längsschlitz 9, worin das Flacheisen 5 senkrecht rauf und runter durch mehrere Käfige bewegt werden kann.Fig. 1, longitudinal slot 9, wherein the flat iron 5 vertically up and can be moved down through several cages.
Fig. 1, Drahtseil 10 wird an Flacheisen 5 und an Rundrohr 3 befestigt, so daß durch Drehen des Rundrohres 3 und Aufwickeln des Drahtseiles die Sitzstange 11 rauf und runter bewegt werden kann.Fig. 1, wire rope 10 is attached to flat iron 5 and to round tube 3, so that by turning the round tube 3 and winding the wire rope, the perch 11 can be moved up and down.
