摘要:
An arrangement for division of animals into groups and transfer of groups of animals to a stunning apparatus (3) comprises an oblong corridor section (10) in which animals can be driven from an entrance end to an exit end. It has a division gate (12) in the corridor section between the entrance end and the exit end, which gate is placed in such a way that the corridor area (1Ob) between the division gate and the exit end has room for a number of animals corresponding to the group size. In continuation of the corridor section (10) a transfer section (16) is placed at the exit end of the section, which transfer section has room for a number of animals corresponding to the group size and has a connection with the entrance to the stunning apparatus. The transfer section between the corridor section and the stunning apparatus provides the advantage that the division process becomes less dependent on the subsequent process where a group of animals are driven into the stunning apparatus and stunned, which increases the capacity of the system.
摘要:
A stunning box (2) for large animals for slaughter, especially cattle, characterized in that it has a stationary base (4) and an animal receiving module (6) which is rotatably mounted about a longitudinal axis on the base (4) thereof, and - in an upright state - a bottom on which the animal which is to be slaughtered can walk, in addition to comprising a first side wall (22), also characterized in that a second side wall (2) which is separate from a door receiving module is provided.
摘要:
A method is described of delivering animals from a runway (10) having outer fencing (37, 38) to a handling area (40), comprising the steps of: introducing animals into said runway (10) and allowing them to move towards said handling area (40); allowing a first animal into said handling area (40) from said runway (10); moving at least one gate (21, 22) from a first position adjacent said outer fences (37, 38) to a second position adjacent the centre of said runway (10) so as to prevent a second animal from entering said handling area (40), the gate (21, 22) elastically gripping the head of the animal when in said second position, so that when the animal moves forward the gripping pressure increases by said at least one gate (21, 22) moving further towards the centre of said runway (10) and when the animal moves back the gripping pressure reduces; and after processing of said first animal, moving said at least one gate (21, 22) back to said first position and repeating steps 2 to 4. An apparatus is described which includes at least first and second gates (21, 22) which extend respectively from outer walls (37, 38) of a runway (10) to first locations adjacent the centre of the runway (10) for preventing animals leaving the same. The first and second gates (21, 22) are movable substantially horizontally from the first locations to a further position for allowing animals to leave the runway (10). The apparatus includes elastic gripping means.

A method is described of delivering animals from a runway (10) having outer walls (37,38) to a handling area (40), comprising the steps of:
introducing animals into the runway (10) and allowing them to move towards the handling area (40); allowing a first animal into the handling area (40)from the runway (10); moving gates (21,22) from a first position adjacent the outer walls (37,38) substantially horizontally to a second position adjacent the centre of the runway (10) to prevent a second animal from entering the handling area (40); and after processing of the first animal, moving the gates back to the first position.
An apparatus is described which includes at least first and second gates (21,22). The first and second gates (21,22) extend respectively from outer walls (37,38) of a runway (10) to first locations adjacent the centre of the runway (10) for preventing animals from leaving the same. The first and second gates (21,22) are movable substantially horizontally from the first locations to a further position for allowing animals to leave the runway (10).
摘要:
Apparatus is provided for separating a flock of animals into groups, prior to being slaughtered in a slaughterhouse. The apparatus comprises an oblong corridor (5) which is wide enough to allow the animals to turn around in the corridor, and at least one transverse wall (7; 8; 9) protrudes from one side wall of the corridor so far into the corridor that two animals cannot pass through the gap between the transverse wall and the other side wall of the corridor at the same time, whereas one animal has free access through the gap.
摘要:
An animal lift consisting of a lift mechanism, a vertical mast housing at least a portion of the lift mechanism, a horizontal shaft rotatably coupled to the lift mechanism about a longitudinal axis of rotation of the shaft, and a cradle coupled to the shaft, the cradle constructed of a horizontal support member having a surface for engaging the sternum or underbelly of an animal along the animal's longitudinal axis from head to tail and a pair of vertical side walls.
