RU2361393C2 - Feeding-rack with heating for feeding of minks during winter months in north conditions - Google Patents

Abstract

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to breeding of animals for furs field. Feeding-rack contains casing, implemented of all-veneer plywood, allowing nest for placement of pan with fodder and heating element "ЭНГЛ-1", installed in iron case for fodder heating at air temperature lower -30°C, located in the bottom of feeding-rack. Parts of casing implemented of all-veneer plywood, cover, nest, and bottom are connected by one screw, executing as pivot for cover. Cover is fixed by bolt-holder.

EFFECT: providing of slow cooling-down of fodder.

Description

Minks eat food slowly in small portions, therefore, in the winter months, at low outdoor temperatures below -30 ° C, they do not have time to eat while the food is warm, since food with a temperature of 60-70 ° C, placed on open metal or other feeders at a temperature below -30 ° C quickly freeze, as a result of the animals they can’t eat the food completely right away, so they try to drag the frozen food into the nest, polluting it with food, and if they eat the frozen food, they spend additional energy.

The purpose of the invention is to design feeders for feeding minks in the winter months in the harsh conditions of the North.

Known feeder for minks (see RU 2114528, class A01K 1/02, 07/10/1998).

The proposed mink feeder in the harsh conditions of the northern winter contains a casing made of multilayer plywood, having a nest for placing a pan with food and a heating element ENGL-1 installed in an iron casing for heating the food at an air temperature below -30 ° C, located at the bottom feeders, and parts of the casing made of multilayer plywood, the lid, the socket, the bottom are connected by one screw acting as a hinge for the lid, and the lid is fixed by a fixing bolt.

The feeder has a square shape (Fig. 1, 2), consists of a casing with a side of 15 cm, a height of 5 cm, which has a cover (4) made of one layer of plywood, nests for the feeder (7) with a diameter of 12 cm, height 2 cm, made by gluing two layers of plywood, a pan for feed (8) and the bottom (6), made by gluing two layers of plywood, along which passes an ENGL-1 type heating element (9) embedded in an iron casing (10), so that did not bite minks.

All parts of the casing of the feeder are connected with one bolt (1), which simultaneously acts as a hinge for the cover.

The cover has a handle (3) and is locked in the closed state with a locking bolt (2).

As a feeder, heat-resistant plastic pans with a handle with a diameter of not more than 12 cm and a height of not more than 2 cm are used (Fig. 3).

Using a feeder. In the winter months, at an outdoor temperature of -20 ° С, feed placed in a feeder with an initial temperature of 60 ° С cools without additional use of a heater to a temperature of + 20 ° С for 1 hour, at an air temperature below -30 ° С for 30 minutes, and when using a heater, the feed temperature is maintained up to + 20 ° C for 1 hour.

After eating the beast until the next distribution of the feed, the feeder is closed by turning the hinge screw and fixed in the closed position with a locking bolt (Figs. 1, 2).

The technical result is that in the proposed feeder, the food cools down slowly, thereby ensuring normal intake of food by minks in the harsh conditions of the northern winter.

Claims (1)

A mink feeder in the harsh conditions of the northern winter, containing a casing made of multilayer plywood, having a socket for placing a pot with feed and an ENGL-1 heating element installed in an iron casing for heating the feed at an air temperature below -30 ° C, located at the bottom feeders, and parts of the casing made of multilayer plywood, the lid, the socket, the bottom are connected by one screw acting as a hinge for the lid, and the lid is fixed by a fixing bolt.
