The invention relates to a broiler chicken container (1, 101, 201, 301, 401) which is designed and equipped to receive and hold broiler chickens, comprising a base (11, 111, 211, 311, 411) and lateral walls (12, 13; 112, 113; 212, 213; 312, 313; 412, 413) which define an inner volume. The broiler chicken container (1, 101, 201, 301, 401) is designed and equipped so as to be stackable with broiler chicken containers (1, 101, 201, 301, 401) of the same type. The invention is characterized in that at least one support column (14, 114, 214, 314, 414) runs from the base (11, 111, 211, 311, 411) upwards through the inner volume. The support column (14, 114, 214, 314, 414) is arranged at a distance from all of the lateral walls (12, 13; 112, 113; 212, 213; 312, 313; 412, 413) so that space is provided for at least one broiler chicken between the support column (14, 114, 214, 314, 414) and any of the lateral walls (12, 13; 112, 113; 212, 213; 312, 313; 412, 413), and the support column (14, 114, 214, 314, 414) has a height so as to support the base (11, 111, 211, 311, 411) of another broiler chicken container (1, 101, 201, 301, 401) which is stacked on top of the broiler chicken container (1, 101, 201, 301, 401). The invention further relates to a unit comprising at least two of the aforementioned broiler chicken containers (1, 101, 201, 301, 401).

Stackable poultry container systems (10) are described herein along with methods of using the systems in connection with the care of poultry. The stackable poultry container systems (10) described herein may include feeder apparatus (30) that allow for the distribution of feed to all of the containers within a stack of containers through the feeder apparatus (30) provided in the uppermost container in the stack. The stackable poultry container systems (10) described herein may include a floor (20) that has waste apertures (50) formed therein to allow waste from animals located in the container to fall through the floor (20) to improve sanitation for the animals located in the container system (10). The stacks of poultry containers (10) may include waste shields located beneath each floor (20) such that waste falling through the floor (20) of a container does not pass into the container located below when the containers are stacked on top of each other.

摘要:
La présente invention concerne une installation (1) pour le confinement et la manipulation d'animaux, en particulier de volailles, utile pour les élevages. Cette installation (1) comporte au moins deux cages (2) pour le confinement chacune d'une pluralité d'animaux, lesquelles cages de confinement (2) sont montées sur un support central (3) par le biais de moyens (5) autorisant leur manoeuvre en hauteur entre - une position basse, située à proximité du sol, et - une position haute, située à distance du sol, lequel support central (3) est monté pivotant selon un axe vertical de rotation (3'), pour assurer la manoeuvre en rotation autour dudit axe vertical de rotation (3') des cages de confinement (2) associées. Cette installation permet une manipulation des animaux et leur confinement dans les cages (2) selon un mode en temps masqué : le temps nécessaire au traitement des animaux situés au niveau du poste de travail est mis à profit pour confiner d'autres animaux dans la cage située au niveau du poste de chargement.
摘要:
The invention concerns a container (4) for handling small livestock, particularly poultry, in the transportation of the poultry from a pouhryhouse to a central factory at which the poultry is processed. The container comprises a frame (6) of openwork construction which supports severel tiers of superposed drawers (8) mounted for movement relative thereto between open and closed positions. The container comprises locking mechanism which is operative to lock all the drawers simultaneously. The container comprises a lifting formation (24) which enables the container to be lifted by (for example) a modified fork lift truck, and as a consequence of such lifting, the locking mechanism is automatically rendered operative. Desirably the primary transporter (lorry or trailerl upon which the container is placed by the fork lift truck is provided with a formation (62) which is operative to retain the locking mechanism operative whilst the container rests on the lorry. The container forms part of a novel system for the transportation of poultry from geographically spaced buildings to a processing factory, at which the poultry is unloaded from the containers in a smooth and efficient manner.
摘要:
The disclosure relates to a spray applicator system for accurately and precisely dosing liquid formulations, including vaccines and probiotic formulations, to caged avian animals. In particular, the disclosure relates to spray applicators, having improved acceptance by the avian animals, relative to more disruptive prior spray applicators. The disclosed automated caged spray applicator system is designed to attach to and function with automated poultry feeding systems, routinely used in poultry house settings.
