Antistress device for pig

Abstract

The present invention discloses an animal welfare facility, in particular to an anti-stress machine used for a pig which is arranged in a hutch for meeting the demand of such normal actions as rooting and bite and so on of pigs, reducing the fight and attack actions between pigs and bringing down swine herd stress. The technic proposal comprises a cavity (1) for rooting of the pig which is provided with a rope (3) for the bite of the pig; the cavity is also provided with a suspension ring (2); materials for emitting smell are arranged in the cavity (1). The present invention has the advantages that the invention is firm and durable, easy to be cleaned and disinfected and is able to be produced in large scale, moreover, the invention is easy to be discerned by pigs, which attracts the pigs to study and play for long time. The use of the facility reduces the abnormal actions of pigs and the attack to the fellows, reduces the play and damage of pigs to the feeding facility and increases the harmony of swine herd, thus being beneficial to improving production performance.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an animal welfare facility, in particular to a pig that is installed in a pen to meet the normal behavior needs of pigs such as nasal arching and biting, reduce fighting and aggressive behavior among pigs, and reduce the stress of pigs Use an anti-stressor. Background technique [0002] It is the nature of pigs to dig into the soil for food, gnaw their teeth and other behaviors. At present, there are only conventional feeding facilities and equipment in the process of raising pigs in intensive houses, such as feeding troughs, drinking fountains, etc. Facilities and equipment for normal behaviors such as gnawing and molaring lead to a barren pen environment and lack of diversity. Pigs lack occasions or opportunities to express their normal gnawing and molar behavior, which affects the behavioral development of pigs. Weak piglets are often affected by other The attack of pigs, abnormal behaviors such as tail biting, ear biting a...

Problems solved by technology

Although this kind of bendable knotted rope can also be bitten by big pigs, due to the strong destructive ability of big pigs, it is easy to be damaged, resulting in short use time and increased breeding costs. At the same time, the hardness of the rope itself is low and cannot It satisfies the teeth grinding behavior of pigs, and its material is made of cotton yarn rope. Under the environmental conditions of pig houses, it is very easy to be polluted and damp, thus breeding bacteria, and it is not easy to disinfect. application

[0004] Similarly, the disclosed U.S. Patent US6622659B2 provides a porous sphere skeleton animal toy made of materials such as plastics and natural rubber, which can be used for pigs to perform exploration behaviors such as nose arching, because pigs have strong adaptability to the environment, and this The shape and color of this kind of toy are single, lack of long-term attraction to pigs, easily make pigs lose interest, and cannot make them perform long-term behaviors such as nasal arching and biting. There are also disadvantages that are easily damaged and cannot be used for a long time
