Description

The invention relates to the field of methods and devices used to accelerate the growth of animals, in particular for incubation of birds, and can be used in breeding systems of animal organisms in agriculture, medicine and other industries.

The well-known "Method of hydroponic cultivation of C3 plants" described in patent RU No. 2281647, which consists in supplying purified carbon dioxide under a sealed film covering the plants.

Its disadvantage is that under the film the air pressure does not exceed atmospheric.

The device “Floating bioreactor for growing microalgae in an open reservoir”, described in patent RU No. 2524993, consisting of a sealed container floating on a reservoir, pipelines for the supply and selection of gases, was selected as a prototype.

Its disadvantage is that it is complex in design and is not intended for use in incubation of birds.

No devices and methods suitable for the accelerated raising of animals under increased gas pressure in an airtight container were found.

The objective of the invention is to provide a method and device for the accelerated growing of animals by creating in an airtight container increased gas pressure, which would activate the intensity of metabolic processes and thereby accelerate protein synthesis.

The technical result of the invention is a new property of increased gas pressure, which allows to accelerate the development of animals by densifying (increasing pressure) air in a special hermetic container equipped with a life support system.

The achievement of the claimed technical result and, as a result, the solution of the problem is achieved by the fact that in a sealed container equipped with a life support system, as well as monitoring the temperature, humidity and condition of animals, an increased pressure of gases is created, which use air, and a natural decrease in pressure tanks as a result of the development of animals are compensated by supplying oxygen and carbon dioxide to the tank.

The task is also achieved by the fact that the device (for example, for the incubation of birds, quail) consists of an egg tray placed in an airtight container with a lid and a system for controlling and regulating temperature, gas pressure, humidity, illumination, monitoring the development of embryos in eggs to the rotation mechanism of the sealed container, and also has a decompression and gas injection system.

In FIG. 1 shows a diagram of an internal device, and FIG. 2 is a side view, without a cover 21.

The method consists in the fact that when creating increased pressure (in this case a shock occurs - a life-threatening condition) in an airtight container there is an accelerated development of animals by activating the intensity of metabolic processes and the associated accelerated protein synthesis due to the increased gas pressure, which provides this intensity.

Relict geological conditions are created in the pressure chamber incubator (increased carbon dioxide content - 0.6%, increased atmospheric pressure - 6.5 atm and a shortened day - 9.4 hours), which contribute to increased absorption of carbon dioxide, which stimulates the accelerated development of young birds and increases its vitality.

Relic time animals had a large mass and high viability, including due to the possibility of assimilation of a large amount of carbon dioxide.

Over time, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere decreased and reached 0.03%. The size of the animals decreased, and they lost the ability of their far-distant ancestors to absorb carbon dioxide in large quantities. Moreover, in large quantities it has turned into poison.

Nevertheless, in the genes of animals, including domesticated ones, information was preserved about their historical evolution - from relict forms to the current state. Genes that carry information about previous ancient forms are blocked by genes of current forms. Under extreme conditions, such as a return to relict geological conditions, genetic memory can be restored, which will lead to the restoration of signs of their wild ancestors, including the absorption of carbon dioxide.

The device (Fig. 1) consists of a strong sealed container 1, inside of which a tray 2 with incubated eggs 3, electric fans 4 for internal air circulation (shown by arrows) are installed. To cool the air, and therefore the eggs in front of the fans in the direction of air movement, there are water radiators 5. Cooling is carried out with cold water, for example, from a centralized water supply system through a controlled valve 6. Radiators 5 are used in the same way as condensation air dryers, for which under them there are trays 7 for collecting condensed water, which flows through tubes 8 into a controlled valve 9, which, when opened, is squeezed out of the tank 1 by internal air pressure. Simulation of a shortened day is carried out by luminaires 10. The preset air parameters are maintained using a block of 11 sensors: CO2, temperature, humidity and pressure (necessary for stage decompression through a controlled valve 12). The operating pressure is maintained by an emergency valve 13 set at 6.5 atm. To pump air from the receiver of the compressor into the tank 1, the controlled valve 14 is used, and to supply carbon dioxide from the cylinder, the controlled valve 15. The pressure is visually monitored 16. To turn the eggs, the tank is installed on the supports 17 through the roller bearings 18, and the valve 6 , 14 and 15 are connected to external devices by flexible pipelines. If there is a drive (not shown), automatic rotation of the container 1 is possible. To heat the air around the container 1, the insulated electric blanket 19 with a wire heater 20 is smelled. After loading, the container is closed by a sealed cover 21 with an inspection window 22. The temperature of the eggs is controlled by the sensor 23. All sensors (11 and 23) are monitored, and the valves (6, 9, 12, 14 and 15) are controlled by a control unit (not shown), such as a computer. The side view (Fig. 2) is shown without cover 21.

The device operates as follows.

According to the first option

The method is carried out in a pressure chamber equipped with gas metering systems, maintaining the required temperature and humidity, lighting and turning eggs, as well as decompression.

The modes (temperature, humidity and egg rotation) of egg incubation are well-known generally accepted.

After creating the relict atmosphere, a 2-3-hour exposure is made, equalizing the pressure and air composition inside and outside the eggs, followed by a 5-6-hour exposure at 25 ° C, creating conditions for the simultaneous start of embryo development during further incubation. Thus, incubation in relict geological conditions and the memory of the ancestors recovered at the same time will allow to absorb a greater amount of carbon, which means to intensify the intensity of metabolic processes and protein synthesis. In turn, this will lead to stimulation of embryo development, accelerated postembryonic development of young birds and increase its viability.

Tray 2 with eggs 3 is pushed into the container 1, it is hermetically closed by a cover 21 and a relict atmosphere is created in it:

valve 14 opens and ambient air (ϕ = 50%, t = 20 ° C, CO2 = 0.03%, P = 1 atm) up to 6.5 atm is pumped into the container from the compressor receiver, after which valve 14 closes;

valve 15 opens, air in tank 1 is enriched with CO2 to a minimum permissible concentration of 0.4%, then valve 15 closes.

After creating the relict atmosphere and 2-3 hours of exposure at room temperature, the heater 20 is turned on and the preheating temperature is maintained at 25 ° C for 5-8 hours. Immediately after warming up, the heater 20 begins to work more intensively, the air temperature in the incubator reaches the working temperature of 37.8 ° C and continues to be maintained at this level until the start of the withdrawal. During withdrawal, the temperature drops to 37 ° C. The temperature readings are taken from the air temperature sensor (sensor block 11) and maintained at the required level by turning on / off the heater 20, carried out by the control unit.

If the air humidity exceeds that required by the incubation process, valve 6 opens, cold water begins to circulate through the radiators 5, the condensate formed on them flows through the tubes 8 into valve 9, with the help of which it is removed from the tank 1. The moisture is removed by successive repeated short-term valve openings 9. After each opening, after a while, necessary to equalize the humidity (due to the mixing of air by the fans) throughout the tank, it is measured. After reaching the required humidity, the opening of the valve 9 stops, and the valve 6 of the circulation of cold water closes.

When the concentration of carbon dioxide reaches 0.6%, valve 14 opens and fresh air is pumped from the compressor receiver into the container. At the same time, by opening the emergency valve 13, the used air leaves the tank. When the concentration of CO2 decreases to 0.4%, the valve 14 closes, respectively, and the emergency valve 13 stops bleeding air. This cycle is repeated every time the maximum concentration of carbon dioxide is reached. When replacing the air in the tank 1, both temperature and humidity change, which are adjusted by the control device according to the readings of the sensors, according to the cycles described above.

In the second half of the incubation, if the temperature on the surface of the eggs (sensor 23) of chickens, turkeys, guinea fowl, pheasants and quails reaches 38.6 ° C, and the eggs of geese, ducks and musky ducks reach 38.8-39 degrees, then valve 6 opens , cold water begins to circulate through the radiators 5, cooling the air and through it the eggs. When cooling the surface of their shell to a temperature of 33-34 ° C, valve 6 closes. Cooling is carried out every 8-12 hours, until the start of withdrawal. In the General case, in contrast to the drainage, the condensate formed in this case is not removed, but remains in the tank 1.

However, if the humidity is increased at the time the cooling starts, then drainage is also carried out according to the algorithm already described. On the other hand, if the drainage process coincides with the cooling time, then it continues according to the cooling algorithm.

On the last day of withdrawal, decompression and acclimatization of the chicks is carried out. With the beginning of the last day, the valve 12, which releases air, opens, and the pressure in the tank 1 drops. The pressure is controlled by the corresponding sensor (sensor block 11) and when it is reduced by a predetermined value (Δ = 0.27 atm), the valve 12 closes. Such a reduction is carried out every hour, until atmospheric and daytime are reached, enough for this (6.5 atm / 0.27atm = 24 hours).

After each stage of pressure reduction, the pressure in the tank 1 will no longer be able to exceed the last value, since the sensor 13 begins to perform the function of a pressure limiter (some analogue of the emergency sensor, the discharge value of which after each stage decreases by 0.27 atm).

Now, when CO2 concentration is reduced, it is valve 12 that will be used to bleed air from tank 1, and valve (6.5 atm) 13 will remain purely emergency. The concentration values (maximum and minimum) of CO2 will also decrease stepwise. If you do this in 6 steps of 4 hours each, then these values (max-min.) Can look like this (0.6-0.4; 0.5-0.3; 0.4-0.2; 0, 3-0.1; 0.2-0.05; 0.1-0.05 atm).

Next, the lid 21 opens, the tray 2 extends and the young growth is transferred to the brooder.

According to the second option.

The broodstock (for example, quail and quail) is placed in a pressure chamber equipped with a life support system and a decompression system, then air pressure (shock conditions) is created, the laid eggs are placed in an incubator and the chicks are removed by the above method. In this case, the probability of awakening relic memory increases, since it can occur in two cases: during the formation of an egg and / or during incubation.

The proposed method and device will accelerate the development of animals and reduce the time to reach their productive age.

Currently, the device is at the prototype stage and is being tested.
