Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a pig feeding device suitable for raising pigs.

[Problems to be Solved by Prior Art and Invention]

A conventional pig feeding apparatus is a powdered feed source tank, a main feeding pipe extending upward from a single row or a plurality of rows of pig bunches in the pig pen, and a branch from the main pipe, which hangs down toward each pig bundle. A branch pipe and a bait box below each of the branch pipes are provided, and the long-distance powder feed conveying member provided in the conveyance main pipe is driven by a powder feed conveying drive device to supply the powder feed. From the source tank, via the main pipe and each branch pipe, the powdered feed is dropped into the feeding box of each pig so that it can be supplied at all times without restriction. An unrestricted feeding method is known in the art, which allows unlimited eating for 24 hours. In this case, it is general that a water drinking container is provided adjacent to the bait box, and a water drinking device for always drinking water is attached to the container.

Since the conventional feeding method described above feeds the swine of powdered feed in this way, the powdered feed flies up every meal and pollutes the air in the pig house, which easily causes respiratory illness. ,
Management such as administration of medicines is required, and it is difficult to manage its production, such as poor growth and illness before it grows to a prescribed size, and it becomes a major management problem such as a decrease in production efficiency. ing.

Moreover, powdered foods are difficult to eat and also reduce appetite. Furthermore, since it is easy to dry on the throat, there are many opportunities to drink water and it is easy to stain the surrounding area. At that time, there is much waste of feed such as water overflowing from the feed box together with the powder feed, which is uneconomical. Furthermore, the mud-like feed causes serious problems such as generation and reproduction of fungi such as mold, causing diseases.

In order to prevent such inconvenience, water is added to the powdered feed in the feed supply tank to make a lump food, which is pumped to each pig bunches through the main pipe and branch pipe to the feed box and The device is known from JP-A-51-102992,
Molds such as mold are generated in the main pipe and branch pipes,
It has been found that the feeding method and apparatus which are practically suitable are not suitable because they cause illness of pigs.

[Means for Solving the Problems]

The present invention eliminates the inconveniences of the above-mentioned conventional pig feeding method and apparatus and countermeasures, prevents air and other surrounding pollution due to scattering of powdered food during meal, and prevents the occurrence of diseases associated therewith, and Is easy to eat, and maintains a hygienic environment to promote growth,
In order to improve the production efficiency, the powdered feed is passed through the main pipe and branch pipe, and then the powdered feed is mixed with an appropriate amount of water,
The present invention provides a feed device for pig farms which is fed as a wet feed to a feed box, and in this case, the feed amount of the powdery and wet feeds can be automatically controlled by a simple device and which is easy to manufacture and relatively inexpensive. In addition, a main transporting pipe connected to the powdery feed source tank and having a powdery feed transporting member driven by a driving device is provided above the pig tuft row arranged in the pig house, and The branched branch pipes are extended downward to the storage tanks respectively provided in these pig bunches, and water and powdered feed are mixed between each storage tank and the feeding box provided in each pig bunches. A mixing device is interposed, and a regulating pipe that is fitted in each of the branch pipes so as to be vertically movable is provided to form a stretchable branch pipe.

[Action]

According to the above-described pig feeding apparatus of the present invention, when the powdery conveying driving device is driven, the powdery feed in the powdery feed source tank is conveyed by the conveying member in the conveying main pipe, It is conveyed in the main pipe, supplied from the first branch pipe into the storage tank therebelow, and when it reaches the lower end of the branch pipe, it cannot be automatically supplied. Next, it is supplied to the storage tank therebelow via the next branch pipe, and thus a predetermined amount of powdered feed is sequentially stored in each storage tank. When the powdered feed in each of the storage tanks and water are mixed by a mixing device, it becomes a wet feed, which is supplied to the feed box. That is,
Wet feeding is obtained.

In the above-mentioned device, the branch pipe is fitted into the branch pipe so as to be vertically movable so that the branch pipe can expand and contract. Therefore, by adjusting the position of the branch pipe as desired, the powder feed can be stored. Supply into the tank, because the powdered feed stays at the level up to the lower end of the specified pipe set at its desired position,
A certain amount of powdered feed can be supplied and stored in the storage tank.

In this case, when providing the quantitative display on the regulation tube,
It is convenient to know the feed amount of powdered feed into the tank according to its height position.

Further, in the above-mentioned device of the present invention, the mixing device comprises a container and an agitator provided in the container and driven by a driving device, and the container communicates with a bottom opening of the storage tank. Has an opening portion, an opening portion connected to the water supply pipe, and an opening end for supplying wet feed to the feeding box, and when the stirrer is intermittently operated by the drive device, The opening provided in the container of the mixing device,
Since it is in communication with the bottom opening of the storage tank, when the drive device is driven, the stirrer rotates, and as the stirring blade rotates, it receives and stirs the powdered feed in the storage tank. Transfer to the front. On the other hand, since the container receives water supply through the opening connected to the water supply branch pipe, it can be uniformly mixed with the powdered feed to obtain wet feed, which is fed to the feeding box through its open end. Thus, when the mixing device is driven intermittently, the predetermined amount of powdered feed can be intermittently divided as wet feed to feed the feeding box, while the driving stop time is It will be meal time.

The container of the mixing device is preferably a horizontally extending cylindrical container, and the stirring blades of the stirrer are preferably screw blades, whereby uniform mixing of the powdered feed and water and the opening end are achieved. Is carried out, so that the wet feed is dropped and supplied from the open end of the container to the feed box.

The water supply branch pipe is provided with an electromagnetic valve interposed therebetween, When the electromagnetic valve and the motor of the driving device that drives the mixing device are to be operated synchronously and intermittently, stirring and water supply are simultaneously performed at a required interval, and a predetermined amount of wet type is used. Intermittent feeding of feed is performed.

Furthermore, when the downward feed guide cylinder is attached to the open end of the tubular container, the wet feed can be properly supplied to the feed box below the open feed end from the open end.

Further, by providing a detachable lid plate at the opening end,
It is possible to wash the mixing device. That is, a cover plate is applied to the opening end, and water is supplied from the water supply pipe into the container in this state, while stirring is performed by the stirrer, and when the cover plate is removed next time, it is attached to the container. The wet feed that is being treated can be washed away from the open end together with water. If this is repeated a desired number of times, the mixing device can be sufficiently washed.

In this case, when a handle device that holds the outer surface of the lid plate and opens and closes the lid plate is provided near the open end, the lid plate can be easily opened and closed, and the cleaning operation can be performed easily. .

Furthermore, in the present invention, when the feed guide tube is detachably attached to the open end of the tubular container, it is convenient for replacement or maintenance management. As a modified example of the bait guide cylinder, when the bait guide cylinder is composed of an upper cylinder fixed to the open end of the tubular container and a synthetic resin cylinder detachably attached to the upper cylinder, The synthetic resin cylinder to which the wet feed is easily attached can be replaced with a new one as needed when the feed is attached and soiled, and the sanitary condition can be easily maintained. In this case, when the outer peripheral surface of the synthetic resin cylinder is covered with a corrosion-resistant metal cylinder, the pig can be protected from being bitten and the damage can be prevented.

When the feed box is provided with a radial partition and a conical projection at the center thereof, the wet feed falling from above can be distributed to the radial feed trays around it by the conical projection.

In addition, the pig feeding apparatus of the present invention is provided with a drinking container in each pig bunches, and when a drinking water supply pipe connected to a water supply source is provided so as to extend into the water drinking container of each pig bunches, it is not required. , Can drink water. In this case, it is also desirable to provide an opening / closing valve in the main water supply pipe or each water drinking branch pipe to perform limited water supply.

Further, in the device of the present invention, the feeding is provided with a radial partition and a conical projection at the center thereof to form a radial space partitioned by the partition, and the tip of the water absorption branch pipe is formed into an annular shape. If the normally closed water-drinking valve is located above each of the radially partitioned spaces, the bait guide cylinders will be placed in the respective partitioned spaces of the bait box. The wet feed falling from the colliding with the conical projections of the feeding box is dispersed in four directions and distributed in each of the radially partitioned spaces. When a pig puts a mouth on the water-closed mouth valve, it automatically opens and can drink water.

Furthermore, when the pig feeding apparatus of the present invention is connected to an automatic restricted feeding control panel to be an automatic restricted feeding apparatus, the powdered feed in the storage tank is divided into a plurality of times, and the predetermined amount of wet The feed can be automatically fed intermittently after a certain pig meal time.

〔Example〕

Next, the pig feeding apparatus of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a plan view of a pig farm equipped with a pig feeding device of one embodiment of the present invention in a pig house. FIG. 2 shows an enlarged perspective view of a part thereof. In the drawings, 1 indicates a powdered feed source tank. The tank 1 stores a large amount of powdered feed sufficient to distribute the powdered feed to a large number of pig tufts 2, 2, ....
The term "powdered feed" is used to describe various types of cereal flour, rice bran, fish meal,
Other than literally powdered feed such as other powdered feed, it is mainly composed of this and non-powdered fine particles such as grains, crushed granules, bran, defatted sludge, etc. It is a general term including those that can be seen. The large number of pig tufts 2, 2, ... In the example shown in the figure, 12 tuft tufts in one row are arranged in two rows, and a desired number of piglets to be raised in each tuft is stored and raised. To do. A storage tank 4 is provided in each pig bundle 2 which is normally deviated to one side thereof, for example, located above the vicinity of the fence 3 on the passage side. A certain amount of powdered feed is supplied to the storage tanks 4, 4, ... From the powdered feed supply source tank 1 through the main transport pipe 5 and each branch pipe 6 branching from the main transport pipe 5 and hanging down. I chose That is, the main pipe 5 communicates with the inside of the tank 1 and is arranged in a ring shape across the two rows of pig tufts 2, 2, ... Is provided in a drooping manner, and has an annular powder feed conveying member 7 over the entire circumference thereof, and the powder feed conveying driving device 8 provided in the vicinity of the tank 1 provides the member 7 To drive. The powder feed conveying member 7
Is a plastic disc made of metal or synthetic resin wire 7a as shown in FIG.
7b is provided, or a known commercially available one such as a wire 7a provided with screw-shaped blades 7c is sufficient. The powdered feed is received and conveyed in the space of the blades, enters the first storage tank 4 below it through the first branch pipe 6 closest to the tank 1, and the powder is stored in the storage tank 4. When the granular feed is accumulated and reaches the lower end of the branch pipe 4, its feeding action is automatically interrupted, so that the powdered feed carried by the transport member 7 is stored in the storage tank 4 next to the branch pipe 6. To the second storage tank 4 and then a predetermined amount is supplied in the same manner, and then a predetermined amount of powdered feed is sequentially distributed to all the storage tanks 4 in the same manner. .

According to the present invention, each branch pipe 6 is preferably provided with a regulating pipe 6a fitted vertically movably, and the branch pipes 6 are configured to be expandable and contractible. It is easy for one of the attachment means to be fitted into the branch pipe 6 slidably and firmly so as to be stopped at a predetermined position by strong frictional engagement, but in the illustrated example, the branch pipe 6 is provided.
A plurality of pin holes 10, 10, ... Which are provided in the normal pipe 6a fitted in the pin holes 9 in a vertical direction at regular intervals.
One of the above is aligned with the pin hole 9 of the branch pipe 6, and the locking pin 11 is inserted into this to fix the regulating pipe 6a at the required selection position. Thus, the powdered feed is supplied to the storage tank 4 to a height position corresponding to the lower end of the regulation pipe 6a, and the storage amount is automatically regulated. Thus, by lowering the regulation pipe 6a, the storage amount is reduced, and by raising it, the storage amount is increased, so that the storage amount of the powdered feed in the tank 4 can be adjusted as desired. . Thus, each pin hole of the regulation tube 6a
It is convenient to display numbers indicating the storage amount of the powdered feed in the tank 4 on the sides of 10, 10 ,. Thus, considering the number of pigs in each pig tuft 2, 2, ...
The required amount of the powdered feed to be stored in one storage in each storage tank 4 is determined.

As another attachment means, a method may be considered in which the defining pipe 6a is loosely fitted to the branch pipe 6 and attached to the branch pipe 6 so as to be held by an external vertically moving support arm (not shown).

Furthermore, according to the present invention, a mixing device 13 for mixing water and powdered feed is provided between each storage tank 4 and the feed box 12 installed on the floor surface of the pig tuft 2. The mixing device 13 comprises a container 13a and an agitator 13b provided inside the container and driven by an external driving device 14, and the container 13a is provided at the bottom opening 4a of the storage tank 4. It has an opening 15 communicating with it, an opening 17 connected to a water supply pipe 16 connected to a water supply source, and an opening end 18 opening directly above the bait box 12. The stirrer 13b includes a rotating shaft 19 and stirring blades 20.

Thus, by driving the mixing device 13 by the driving device 14, the powdered feed in the storage tank 4 is stored in the container.
It is supplied into the inside of 13a and stirred by the stirring blade 20, and mixed with water supplied from the water supply pipe 16 to form a wet feed,
The food is supplied from the open end 18 of the container 13a to the food box 12 therebelow. The water supply pipe 16 is composed of a water supply main pipe 16a connected to a water supply source and a water supply branch pipe 16b branched from the water supply main pipe 16a and connected to the mixing device 13 of each pig bun 2.

Thus, according to the feeding method of the present invention, after the dry feed from the powder feed source tank 1 to the storage tank 4 is carried out in this manner, the feed powder 12 is installed in each pig cell 2 of the pig box 12. In the feeding process, water was added to and mixed with the powdered feed in the feeding process to form a wet feed, which was fed to the feed box 12. Unlike the case of feeding, there is no inconvenience that powdered feed floats in the air and pollutes the air, or powdered feed scatters around it and pollutes the surrounding environment. , It is easy to eat because it can always secure a good environment and is a wet feed. Therefore, it is also possible to prevent the occurrence of tracheal disease and death due to breathing air that is crowded with powdered food as in the past, and to eliminate the need for management such as medication and treatment due to illness, and to reduce production management costs. It brings advantages such as improved growth and improved production efficiency.

The amount of water added to the powdered feed powder is about 20 to 65% by weight.
A degree is preferable. If it is about 20% by weight or less, there is a tendency that a portion where water is not mixed is generated. On the other hand, if it exceeds about 65% by weight, it becomes a mud stream and becomes unpleasant to eat, which is not preferable.

As shown in the drawings, the mixing device preferably uses a horizontally extending cylindrical container as the container 13a, and a stirrer 13b provided in the container 13a has a rotating shaft extending in the longitudinal direction.
19 and a screw-shaped stirring blade 20 on its peripheral surface. The bait box 12 is provided below the open end 18 of the cylindrical container 13a. The other open end of the cylindrical container 13a is closed by a closing plate 21, and one end of the rotating shaft penetrates the closing plate 21 and is projected to the outside, and the transmission mechanism of the drive unit 14 is provided at the protruding end.
It was connected to 14b. Reference numeral 22 is an oil seal member, and 23 is a bearing pillow block. The transmission mechanism 14b includes a motor 1
It comprises a sprocket 24 of 4a, a sprocket 25 provided at the protruding end of the rotating shaft 19, and a roller chain 26 connecting the sprockets 24, 25. Reference numeral 27 denotes a metal support frame fixedly mounted on one end of the container 13a, and the motor 14a is fixedly mounted on the upper surface thereof. The storage tank 4 is preferably
Generally, the diameter becomes smaller toward the lower end as shown in the drawing, and the lower end is formed into a so-called hopper having a cylindrical rim surrounding the bottom opening 4a. Cylindrical protrusion 2 that projects the cylindrical edge of the hopper 4 onto the peripheral surface of the opening 15 of the container 13a.
8 It was attached to the receiving step for fitting on the inner peripheral surface. Further, a hose nipple 29 is projectingly provided on the outer peripheral surface of the water supply receiving opening 17 of the container 13a, and the water supply branch pipe 16b is connected to this.

Thus, the operation of the mixing device is as follows. By starting the motor 14a of the drive device 14, to operate the agitator 13b, with the rotation of the screw blade 20,
Through the bottom opening 4a of the storage tank 4 that communicates with the opening 15 of the container 13a, the powdered feed in the storage tank 4 is supplied and stirred into the container 13a, and then transferred to the other side. ,
On the way, mixed with water supplied through the opening 17,
It is discharged from the open end 18 of the container 13a as a uniform wet feed, and is dropped and supplied to the feed box 12 below. Then, after the lapse of the predetermined time, the motor 14a of the drive device 14 is stopped, and at the same time, the supply of water is stopped, so that a certain amount of wet feeding is performed in the feeding box
Given to twelve. Then, the stop time is the pig's meal time, after that, the motor 14a is started again, the drive device is operated for a certain time, and the predetermined amount of wet feed is again supplied to the feeding box 12, In this way, the intermittent operation of the mixing device is performed until the predetermined amount of powdered feed in the storage tank 4 is exhausted. Then, in order to perform the intermittent feeding similar to the above, the storage tank 4 again supplies and stores a predetermined amount of powdered feed from the powdered feed source tank 1 by the above-mentioned means, and Prepare a restricted feed for the wet feed.

When feeding 3 to 4 meals a day to each pig bun, and when performing restricted feeding each time, usually, the powdered feed is stored and stored in each storage tank 4 three times corresponding to the number of meals. It is common to carry out 4 to 4 times, but the 3 to 4 meals may be supplied and stored in each of the storage tanks 4 at once. In this case, the tank 4 is constructed to have a volume corresponding to this.

In order to synchronize the motor 14a and the water supply, the supply pipe 16 is provided with an electromagnetic valve 30 in each of the water supply branch pipes 16b in the illustrated example, and its operation time and stop are controlled by a control panel described later. A predetermined amount of time is given in advance so that a predetermined amount of wet feed and the time required for one or more of all pigs in the pig cluster to complete one meal can be given, and all pigs in the pig cluster are provided. Allow the animals to be fed intermittently multiple times as needed to complete the meal.

In general, an on-off valve 31 is interposed in each of the water supply branch pipes 16b so that the amount of water supplied can be adjusted appropriately. The open end 18 of the cylindrical container 13a is the feed box 1 for wet feed.
It is preferable to attach a bait guide cylinder 32 for guiding the fall to the downward direction 2 so as to be perpendicular to the open end 18. The attachment is generally performed by fitting the peripheral edge of a circular hole formed in the side wall of the bait guide cylinder 32 to the outer peripheral surface of the open end 18 and fixing it by welding, tacking or the like. However, it may be detachably attached, and may be separated for maintenance and inspection.

In the illustrated example, the bait guide cylinder 32 is composed of an upper cylinder 32a and a lower cylinder 32b, the upper cylinder 32a is fixedly attached to the opening end 18, and the lower cylinder is attached to the lower end of the upper cylinder 32a. 32b detachably attached, for example, the lower cylinder 32b is a thin synthetic resin cylinder such as a film, and the portion fitted to the upper cylinder 32a is a band (not shown) if desired. You may tighten it. The synthetic resin cylinder 32b is relatively inexpensive when it is a thin and flexible film material,
Since there is a risk of being bitten by a pig, it is preferable to protect the outer peripheral surface of the pig with a corrosion-resistant metal tube 32c. Thus, when the lower tube 32b becomes dirty, it can be replaced with a new one.

Thus, as a result of the operation of the mixing device 13, as described above,
Wet feed adheres to the inner peripheral surface of the container 13a and the stirrer 13b, and if left as it is, spoilage of the feed and various bacteria such as mold will occur, and as a result of feeding it in the subsequent operation, the pig will be fed. It can cause various diseases and deaths.

According to the present invention, in order to prevent this, the lid plate 33 is provided at the opening of the opening end 18 of the container 13a so as to be able to be closed so that the inside of the container 13a can be washed at appropriate times. In the drawing, the lid plate 33 is
It consists of a circular rubber lid. When cleaning, the lid plate 33
Is to close the open end 18, while operating the motor 14a in this state, while injecting water from the water supply branch pipe 16b into the container 13a, rotating the stirrer 13b in a state where an appropriate amount of water has accumulated, The inside is washed by stirring. Next, if the lid plate 33 is removed and the open end 18 is opened, the screw with which the stirrer 13b is rotated discharges the water containing the residual feed. By repeating this operation a desired number of times, the inside of the container 13a is sufficiently washed,
It will be in a clean state. Therefore, during the rest of the mixing device 13,
There is no inconvenience as described above.

Thus, in order to facilitate the cleaning work,
It is preferable to provide a handle device 34 that holds the outer surface of the lid plate 31 and opens and closes the lid plate 31 so that the opening and closing can be performed at any time. In the drawing, the handle device 34 is shown as a grip portion.
34a and a swing support arm 34b integrally extending from the lower part thereof, a support plate 34c fixed to the outer surface of the lid plate 33 connected to the tip of the rotation support arm 34b, and a lower end of the grip portion 34a. And a horizontally extending rotary shaft 34b. The rotary shaft 34d is provided at the upper end of the bait guide cylinder 32 on one side thereof in a direction extending in parallel to the open end 18 of the container 13a. Inserted in the notch grooves 32d, 32d, by operating the grip portion 34a, the lid plate 33,
As shown by the chain line and the solid line in FIG. 12, the swing support arm 33b can be attached to the open end 18 so as to be openable and closable about the axis 34d. In the drawing, 35 is the shaft 34d
Shows a U-shaped frame plate having grooves 36, 36 rotatably fitted and held at both ends thereof, the left and right end plates of which are fixedly fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the outer periphery of the bait guide cylinder 32 by welding or the like. Thus, the handle device 34 was assembled integrally with the bait guide tube 32.

In the pig feeding apparatus of the present invention, generally, as in the conventional case, a drinking container 37 is provided in each pig cell 2, preferably adjacent to the feeding box 12, and branched from the water main pipe connected to the water source. Further, a water-drinking branch pipe 38 extending to the water-drinking container 37 of each pig cell 2, 2 ,. Reference numeral 39 denotes an opening / closing valve interposed in each branch pipe 38, whereby the water supply is stopped or the water supply amount is adjusted. The lower end of the branch pipe 38 may have a normally-closed valve protrusion, and the protrusion may be pressed to open the valve. Alternatively, a solenoid valve may be used to open the drinking container 37.
Alternatively, water may be limited and water supply may be limited.

In the illustrated example, the drinking water branch pipe 38 is connected to the water supply main pipe 16a to which the water supply branch pipe 16b is connected, but is connected to a water supply main pipe connected to a water supply source provided separately from the water supply main pipe 16a. It doesn't matter if you do this. Each feeding box 12 is sufficient if it has a size capable of accommodating at least one serving of food, but the example shown above is sufficient to accommodate one serving of two. This is the case when a size is installed.

Next, an embodiment of the feeding method of the present invention using the above-mentioned device of the present invention will be described.

〔Example〕

Ten pigs to be raised in each pig cluster 2 should take 1 kg of powdered feed per meal per head and 3 kg 3 meals per day.
An explanation will be given of a method for feeding 10 animals on a two-day feeding basis of 30 kg in three times in the morning, daytime and evening.

First, the powder feed transporting drive device 8 is operated to move the powder feed in the powder feed source tank 1 through the main pipe 5 and the branch pipe 6 of a certain length to the powder feed of each pig tuft 2. In the feed storage tank 4, for breakfast, for example, 10 kg of feed for 10 cows at 6 am
Was transported and stored. The bait box 12 was a bait box for two animals. Starting the driving device 14 of each pig tug, operating the agitator 13b, at the same time, actuating the electromagnetic valve 30 in synchronization with this, water from the water supply branch pipe 16a into the container 13a of the mixing device 13 It is supplied at a constant rate, and this is uniformly mixed with the powdered feed that is introduced from the storage tank 4 into the container 13a and is stirred and transferred to the front, and the open end 18 of the container 13a is used as wet feed. Further, the food was guided to the outside of the food box 12 through the food guide cylinder 32 and fed. In this case, the amount of water added to the powdered feed is
It was about 60% by weight. At this time, the motor 14a of the drive device 14
Driving time is 1 minute, during which feeding amount 2kg for 2 animals
Were fed to the bait box 12. Immediately after the feeding time of 1 minute, the driving device 14 was stopped. Thus, the time required for 2 pigs to finish eating the wet feed for 2 pigs was 4 minutes. After the stop time of 4 minutes, the driving device 14 was started again and was driven for 1 minute to feed 2 kg of wet feed for 2 animals to the feeding box 12. Another two pigs finished eating it in 4 minutes. Again, the driving device 14 was driven for 1 minute, and 2 kg of wet feed for 2 animals was fed to the feeding box 12. Two other pigs finished eating it in 4 minutes.
The driving device 14 is driven again for 1 minute, and the wet feed for 2 animals 2
2 kg of pigs were fed and finished eating within 4 minutes. After that, the driving device 14 is driven again for 1 minute,
2 kg of wet feed for 2 animals was fed. Thus, 10 pigs were completely fed with 10 kg. As a result, feeding 12
No wet feed was eaten. During the breakfast of these 10 dogs, the traditional powder mill did not fly into the air or its surroundings, and the breakfast was completed while maintaining a good environment. Thus, breakfast was completed for 10 animals 25 minutes after the start of feeding.

The drive unit 14 stopped operating until the next lunch time. At lunch time, which is the second meal, for example, at 12:00 pm, the restricted feeding of 10 kg for 10 cows was finished again in the same manner as for breakfast. A small amount of wet feed remained in feeding box 12 after 25 minutes, but was completely gone after 26 minutes.

At 6:00 pm for dinner, feed again as above,
We fed 10 kg of wet feed to 10 dogs and all of them were ingested.

In this way, since the necessary and sufficient predetermined amount of wet feeding is provided in each meal, there is no waste in feeding, regular eating habits are attached, and the above-mentioned adverse effects of unrestricted feeding are completely eliminated. As a result, all 10 pigs were able to sleep well, and healthy breeding was secured.

The feeding and supply from the powder feed feed tank 1 to each storage tank 4, the operation of the drive unit 14, and thus the mixing unit 13 for a predetermined time as described above, and the stop thereof are all programmed in advance. Provided with an automatic control device for automatic restricted feeding device,
It is common and preferable to perform the above-mentioned automatic restricted feeding by operating the control panel.

If the required amount of powdered feed to be transported to and stored in each storage tank 4 at one time differs due to the degree of growth and number of pigs in the pig cluster, depending on the respective required amount. Then, the restriction pipe 6a attached to the branch pipe 6 is moved up and down to set the respective predetermined positions, so that the storage amount in each storage tank 4 can be adjusted by such simple equipment and adjustment work. Such an adjusting device, which can be adjusted as desired, is advantageous in that it has a simple structure, is inexpensive to assemble, and is easy to operate.

In the feeding apparatus of the present invention, the feeding box 12 has at least one
It is sufficient that one head can accommodate one meal, but generally, as in the above-described example, a size that several heads can simultaneously serve is generally available. If necessary, the bait box can be configured as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15. That is, immediately below the bait guide tube 32, a circular dish-shaped bait box 1 protruding around the conical projection 12a is formed.
2 and further, the grille-shaped frame partitions 12b, 12b, ... Are radially arranged from the center, and are equally divided into equally spaced radial spaces 12c, 12c, ... Partitioned by the partitions 12b, 12b. However, a large number of pigs can be fed at the same time from the surrounding area. Thus, the wet feed falling from the feed guide cylinder 32 is
