Abstract

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: drinking bowl for feeding of goatlings includes a drinking reservoir, arranged in the form of a rectangular box on legs (1), in the centre of which in parallel to side walls with holes for exit of a teat part of bottles with feed (6) there is a lower (3) and an upper (4) supports, between them there are rigidly fixed transverse guides (5), providing for inclination of the bottles placed inside by 30°.

EFFECT: increased efficiency of feeding and simplified design of a drinking bowl.

Description

The present invention relates to animal husbandry and is intended for artificial feeding of kids.

One of the important national economic tasks is to increase the production of livestock products. Of particular relevance is the issue of increasing production of goat milk due to the increased number of childhood allergic diseases.

An analysis of the technologies for growing young animals in foreign and domestic animal husbandry shows that the most labor-intensive process, especially in dairy goat breeding, is raising kids up to 3-4 months of age.

In domestic goat farming under individual peasant farming, the feed mixture is poured into a cup or other container, the goat’s head is tilted to a liquid level, and the attendant mimics the presence of a nipple with a finger of his right hand (see Zelensky G.G., “Goat breeding”, M. : Kolos, 1981, p.17), (see Erokhin A.I., Erokhin S.A., “Breeding of sheep and goats”, M, Kolos, 2009, p. 285)

The disadvantages of this technology include a large period of taming to the use of food, as well as finger injuries with sharp goat picks.

Known for the individual use of bottles with nipples for feeding animals (see Kovalenko PV "Sheep and goats", M .: Kolos, 2005, p.224); Lebedko E.Ya., Nikiforova L.N. “Goats: breeding, keeping, care”, Rostov-on-Don, Phoenix. 2011, p.138).

This approach is ineffective and is used for livestock 1-3 of the uterus in individual farms. The disadvantages include: low efficiency due to the high cost of manual labor. Little kids grow up timid as a result of violence.

The use of plastic buckets of foreign manufacture is known (see Chikalev A.I. “Goat breeding”, Gorno-Altaisk, 2010, p.207).

The disadvantages include the fragility of the dishes, as well as their high cost.

The technical task is to increase labor productivity during the transition from individual to group normalized feeding of young animals by creating a drinking bowl design that allows feeding after the young animals have been beaten away from the queens at 8-10 days of age at the end of the colostrum period. The basis for the development of the design is the instinct of group imitation of kids in each other.

This is achieved by using the developed design of the drinking bowl, consisting of a rectangular box with legs, in the center of which the lower and upper supports are located parallel to the side walls with holes. Transverse guides are attached to them symmetrically with respect to the holes, providing a 30-degree inclination of the bottles placed inside.

In FIG. presents a general view of a group nipple drinker in axonometric projection, where:

1 - a rectangular box on the legs, 2 - transverse reinforcing rail, 3 - lower support board, 4 - upper support board, 5 - transverse guides, 6 - holes for the nipple part of the bottles. The choice of bottle options is diverse, does not significantly affect the technology of feeding various feed mixtures or pure milk. A separately prepared feed mixture is poured into bottles for evaporation with a temperature of 37.0-38.0 ° С.

In order to study the effectiveness of the developed drinking bowl, a comparison was made of three options for feeding the kids.

Efficiency of using various technologies Indicators Feeding from a bowl (“finger”) Feeding from foreign pails with nipples The claimed drinker The cost of working time for 1 goal., Min 10 four 2,5 Number of kids fed in one hour 6 150 240 Number of kids fed in 8 hours 48 1200 1920 The cost of drinking 1 kid, rubles. 5.16 7.03 1.36 The cost of drinking 100 goals, rubles. 516 703 136 The cost of acquiring a technologist, equipment 150 2500 600 The cost of working time per 100 goals, people / hour 16.7 6.6 4.1 Savings, person / hour 10.1 12.6

From the data in the table it can be seen that in one hour of using the drinker, 234 more goats will be drunk than when feeding from a bowl (finger). Based on 100 goals, the cost of one feeding using the claimed design of the drinking bowl amounted to 136 rubles, and when using foreign buckets 703 rubles. This saves staff time and the cost of acquiring process equipment.

Claims (1)

A drinking bowl for feeding kids, including a drinking container, characterized in that the container is made in the form of a rectangular box on the legs, in the center of which parallel to the side walls with openings for the exit of the nipple part of the bottles with food are the lower and upper supports, while the transverse supports are rigidly fixed between them guides providing an inclination of the bottles placed inside 30 °.
