SELF-FEEDER FOR CATTLE Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A01K5/02 A01K1/10 A01K7/02 A01K13/00 

FIELD: agricultural technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to process equipment for mechanization of technological processes for servicing farm animals. The self-feeder for cattle includes vertical racks, bases and dividing arches. The self-feeder is made in a wall-mounted version of the installation, providing its technological connection through a feed opening in the longitudinal wall of the livestock room with a feed storage bank. The base of the separating arches of the self-feeder is made two-tube arc-shaped with distribution flexible pipelines that provide the supply and distribution of drinking water to the watering machines, the supply of hydrogen-activated pH water to the feed processing devices, the supply of compressed air flow and hydrogen-activated pH water to the skin treatment device. The self-feeder is equipped with elements of reserving drinking and activated water of the livestock room, shut-off valves. The device for the treatment of the skin of an animal, controlled and capable of changing its position in a vertical plane relative to the serviced animal, is equipped with a membrane diaphragm pump, a pneumatic cylinder, a pulsator that provides reciprocating motion relative to the upper part of the animal’s trunk of rotating brush devices. Control of technological operations and individual structural elements when servicing animals is carried out with the help of hand held laser speed cameras.

EFFECT: invention provides an improvement in the quality of the feeding process of animals with their loose housing system, a decrease in the environmental safety of the internal space of the livestock room, a decrease in the contamination of the milk being milked with microflora.
