DESCRIPTION
La présente invention concerne un dispositif pour nourrir les poulains indépendamment de leurs mères.DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a device for feeding foals independently of their mothers.
Il y a peu de temps encore, les poulains s'élevaient au pré sans apport de nourriture supplémentaire ; les mères subvenaient largement à leurs besoins. Until a short time ago, foals were raised in the meadow without any additional food; mothers largely supported themselves.
Les courses ne débutant pour les trotteurs qu'à l'âge de quatre ou cinq ans, les éleveurs laissaient aux foals le temps d'une croissance naturelle donc lente. Vers l'âge de quatre ans, le poulain avait effectué toute sa croissance et pouvait ainsi participer à des courses bien moins rapides que maintenant. As the races only started for trotters at the age of four or five, breeders gave foals time for natural growth, which was therefore slow. By the age of four, the foal had grown fully and was able to participate in races much slower than now.
De nos jours, les méthodes ont changé et la rentabilité se veut indispensable dès l'année de leurs deux ans. Nowadays, methods have changed and profitability is essential from the year of their two years.
Dès ce jeune âge, sans apport supplémentaire, l'animal serait incapable de supporter des efforts violents ; il faut donc apporter un complément à l'alimentation du poulain dès le premier mois de sa naissanoee d'où maintes difficultés et l'intérêt de l'invention. From this young age, without additional contribution, the animal would be unable to support violent efforts; it is therefore necessary to provide a supplement to the feeding of the foal from the first month of its birth, from where many difficulties and the interest of the invention.
Voioi énumérés les principaux problèmes rencontrés par les éleveurs suivant la méthode utilisée :
- la première consiste à laisser le poulain au pré avec sa mère ; une ration commune complémentaire à l'herbage est donnée. La réaction de la poulinière est de chasser son foal et lui manger sa ration d'où la conséquence d'une suralimentation de la mère et d'une sousalimentation du poulain.Here are the main problems encountered by breeders according to the method used:
- the first consists in leaving the foal in the meadow with his mother; a common ration complementary to the herbage is given. The reaction of the broodmare is to chase her foal and eat her ration from where the consequence of an overfeeding of the mother and an underfeeding of the foal.
- pour éliminer les inconvénients de la première méthode, l'éleveur attache la poulinière le temps que son foal mange. Le résultat alimentaire est bon mais il en résulte pour l'éleveur une perte de temps considérable et une astreinte supplémentaire surtout si l'on multiplie le nombre de poulinières. - to eliminate the disadvantages of the first method, the breeder ties the broodmare while his foal eats. The feed result is good, but this results in a considerable loss of time for the breeder and an additional strain, especially if the number of broodmares is multiplied.
- la troisième méthode, la plus utilisée par les grands élevages con- siste à disposer dans un endroit du pré une grande mangeoire commune à tous les poulains. Pour ne pas que les mères approchent, il est érigé une clôture tout autour ; les poulains passent dessous. Cette dernière technique, proche de l'invention comporte plusieurs inconvdnients et non des moindres. Les plus forts poulains chassant les plus faibles, il en découle comme précédemment une suralimentation des uns et une sousalimentation des autres. Les foals s'agrescent sans cesse avec tous les risques d'accidents que cela comporte. I1 en résulte également un gaspillage énorme entrainant des dépenses inutiles à l'éleveur. Et surtout, le poulain mangeant sa ration en se méfiant des autres, se stresse et ne profite pas pleinement de cet apport indispensable à sa précocité. - the third method, the most used by large farms, consists of having a large feeder in a place in the meadow common to all foals. To prevent mothers from approaching, a fence is erected all around; the foals pass underneath. This latter technique, close to the invention has several drawbacks and not the least. The strongest foals chasing the weakest, it follows as above an overfeeding of one and an underfeeding of the other. Foals are constantly increasing with all the risk of accidents that this entails. It also results in a huge waste resulting in unnecessary expenses for the breeder. And above all, the foal eating its ration while being wary of the others, becomes stressed and does not take full advantage of this contribution essential to its precocity.
L'invention élimine ces inconvénients en permettant de nourrir parfaitement le poulain dans le calme dès son plus jeune âge. Elle a l'avantage supplémentaire de préparer l'animal à rentrer dans un van étroit d'où un gain de temps pour l'avenir. The invention eliminates these drawbacks by allowing the foal to be perfectly fed in peace from a very young age. It has the additional advantage of preparing the animal to enter a narrow van, saving time for the future.
La figure I représente le traçage au sol du dispositif selon l'invention. Le couloir (I) emprunté par le poulain le dirige face au ratelier (3) ainsi qu'à la mangeoire (4) située sous le ratelier légèrement en avant. La surface (2) située entre les deux couloirs (I) est utilisée pour stocker la nourriture (botte de foin ronde ou carré, céréales etc... Figure I shows the tracing on the ground of the device according to the invention. The corridor (I) used by the foal directs it facing the rack (3) as well as the feeder (4) located under the rack slightly forward. The surface (2) located between the two corridors (I) is used to store food (round or square haystack, cereals etc ...
La vue arrière (FIG 2) côté entrée des poulains montre la possibilité d'étendre ce nourrisseur à l'infini. The rear view (FIG 2) on the entry side of the foals shows the possibility of extending this feeder to infinity.
Un système d'emboztement chevillé (FIG 3) permet les jonctions succes- sives. A plugged socket system (FIG 3) allows the successive junctions.
L'entre-deux (7) correspond au passage d'un homme amené à intervenu de part et d'autre du nourrisseur ; il est obturé par une porte. The in-between (7) corresponds to the passage of a man brought to intervene on either side of the feeder; it is closed by a door.
La vue de côté (FIG 4) laisse apparaître des panneaux de contrt-pla- qué marin (I3) servant à délimiter les couloirs (I), un entwnoir (9) surmonté d'un cache amovible (IO) en bâche transparente laissant à l'é- leveur la visibilité de ses poulains. The side view (FIG 4) reveals marine plywood panels (I3) used to delimit the corridors (I), a funnel (9) surmounted by a removable cover (IO) in transparent tarpaulin leaving the breeder the visibility of his foals.
Sur les figures 5 et 6, la coupe de ltentotnoir (9) explique la distribution simultanée des céréales (I2) puis du foin (II) grâce à une planchette (I9) pivotante autour d'un axe (I4) qui, lorsqu'elle est relevée permet un passage des céréales (I2) dans la mangeoire ; baissée, elle empêche le foin (II) de descendre. I1 se trouve donc suspendu, accolé au ratelier (3) au dessus des céréales (12). voir FIG 5 et 6. In FIGS. 5 and 6, the cross section of the tent (9) explains the simultaneous distribution of the cereals (I2) and then the hay (II) thanks to a board (I9) pivoting around an axis (I4) which, when is raised allows a passage of cereals (I2) in the manger; lowered, it prevents the hay (II) from going down. I1 is therefore suspended, attached to the rack (3) above the cereals (12). see FIG 5 and 6.
La mangeoire (4) coulisse sur deux rails (I5) FIG 7 ce qui permet à l'éleveur de nettoyer celle-ci sans passer de l'autre côté. The feeder (4) slides on two rails (I5) FIG 7 which allows the breeder to clean it without going to the other side.
Avant d'emprunter le couloir (I), le poulain aura passé sous une clôture (6) électrique ou non d'environ Im20 de haut ne laissant à sa mèe aucune possibilité de l'accompagner. Before taking the corridor (I), the foal will have passed under an electric fence or not (6) about Im20 high, leaving his mother no possibility to accompany him.
Le nourrisseur est fabriqué en tube carre emboîtable, le toit, l'en tshrirs le cache sont en banche, les cotés sont en contreplaque marin. The feeder is made of a nestable square tube, the roof, the cover and the cover are in sheets, the sides are in marine plywood.
Des plaques en fer (I6) perforées FIG 8 sont soudées sous chaque tube (18) et permettent l'encrage au sol par des aiguilles en fer (17). Perforated iron plates (I6) FIG 8 are welded under each tube (18) and allow inking to the ground by iron needles (17).
Le dispositif selon l'invention est particulièrement destiné à complémentariser l'alimentation des poulains dès l'âge de un mois jusqu'au débourrage (environ dix huit mois). The device according to the invention is particularly intended to supplement the feeding of foals from the age of one month until the breaking in (approximately eighteen months).
