DE10200254A1 - Stall, for animal husbandry, has trapezoid animal boxes in a circle around a center silo, with covered and open-air spaces for the animals and integrated supplies and installations - Google Patents

Abstract

The stall, for animal husbandry, has a circular shape with trapezoid boxes in a circle around the center fodder silo (1). The boxes are structured so that at least one-third of the space is in the open air. The free space and covered space give boxes in a unified complex. The straw is stored on the roof (5). The supplies are integrated with the stall e.g. hot water (4), milking assembly (15), washing facilities (14), stores, and the like. Solar (6) and wind energy give power supplies.

Description

With the previous economy, the areas in to whom the work is carried out, separately: stable, Barn, forage storage, storage, etc. This causes many costs, including transportation costs. The stables are usually narrow, but difficult with machines accessible, so difficult to clean.

In order to present the current status, the Description added some photos.

With factory farming ( picture 1) one tries to produce cheaply.

The animals are kept in narrow boxes, if artificial Light etc.

Extreme forms of factory farming (so-called agricultural factories), which must be understood as cruelty to animals, are with shown in photos 3, 4 and 5.

The animals are in their own droppings, e.g. T. on slatted floors, they were deprived of the opportunity to move. For smaller animals such as turkeys, chickens (chickens) and. ä. the stables are only cleaned after the animals have been brought to the Battles were picked up.

Most basic hygienic conditions since time apply since man has recognized that hygiene is the Basics to prevent the spread of Infectious diseases and the onset of epidemics neglected.

To counteract this, large quantities Disinfectants (which act similarly to antibiotics) and because of that Animals are more susceptible to disease, medication (mostly, so-called antibiotics).

But this is not without consequences for people.

Some of the substances remain in the meat. Part of is from excreted in the animals and gets with the manure on the Fields. From there they get into the groundwater and can are taken up by food plants.

The life of animals consists of fear and stress.

In this context I refer to my book "AIDS - or crisis in the relationship between man and nature ", in which It is proven that antibiotics are one of the causes of this The development of the immune deficiency disease is AIDS and not a virus coming from Africa (see sheet without number).

Photo 2 shows an animal-like attitude compared.

With this method, however, the effort is high, the number of the animals that are within a certain time Ready for slaughter can be brought, low. It has to make the products more expensive.

The advantages are u. a. in the quality of the meat (it has a better taste) and in the Safe for consumers to consume.

With the invention is now the possibility of a larger Keep number of animals in conditions that are in Stand in harmony with nature, be created. Height Productivity should be linked to an attitude where the animal is no longer a mere economic factor, that is, seen as an inanimate object.

The overall production process is said to be simplified and the effort can be reduced.

Due to the open spaces integrated in the barn, they have Animals run without taking up much more space than with conventional barn systems.

Exercise, sun, fresh air are the prerequisites for herd health.

The production areas were merged. That in the The silo is placed in the middle of the barn Entrance area filled. The straw should be stored in the roof be (serve as thermal insulation at the same time) and if necessary fall into the barn through hatches in the ceiling or pushed. Other necessary materials should be stored in the room above the entrance area. Also the cleaning system for the animals and the Milking system (for cattle farming) can be integrated into the barn become.

One barn segment should be cleaned every day. In the box, the machine must be parked (where the covered part of the stable is called a "garage" can serve).

The use of disinfectants is said to clearer separation of areas in which people and Stop animals, be drastically lowered.

Once a week a herd crosses at Stable change the entrance area. About the hygienic conditions to maintain, there are foldable (massive) gates essential. This will remove the one that the animals use covered.

The barn can be operated fully automatically. the Farmers have only a few jobs left, almost can only be carried out by machine.

The invention can be according to the state of the art be designed. This includes the generation of electricity from solar energy and wind to provide Hot water u. a. to care for the animals.

An additional gate on the outside can be used Fixed path when picking up the animals become.

The silo can also be operated as a high silo. The Risk of freezing the feed in winter is likely not exist due to the integration into the roof area.

The open spaces should be at least a third of the Stalls include. (There are 8 stall segments and that Input segment.)

It would be ideal to build the stable in the middle of the field. The route to work appears opposite the Possibilities of further reducing the Production effort like a trivial.

Because the benefits are obvious, we are only supposed to some aspects are mentioned.

The feed could be grown around the barn. The transport routes for the feed but also for liquid manure and natural fertilizers were eliminated or minimized. If you opened the barn segments to the field, you could the animals get the feed themselves from time to time. During this time no further work was done.

Pigs like to dig in the ground, chickens also peck the last blade of grass away. So far the potatoes, which remained just like the grass cover, which at Harvesting of forage stopped, plowed in. This would allow harvests to be used more fully.

Claims (1)

It is a stable for keeping farm animals of all types and sizes (i.e. cattle, pigs, poultry, etc.), which is intended to simplify the production process and reduce the effort. At the same time, management should be in harmony with nature.
The barn is characterized by the following: - This has a round shape. - The boxes intended for animal husbandry have a trapezoidal shape and are arranged in a circle around the silo. - The silo in which the feed is stored is integrated in the barn and arranged in the middle. - At least a third of the boxes for keeping the animals are outdoors. Open space and covered part of the stable form a uniform complex. - The straw is stored in the stable, namely in the attic. - All other facilities and systems necessary for animal husbandry such as hot water storage, milking system (for cattle farming), washing system, storage, etc. are arranged within the barn.
