DE102009015558A1 - Feeding device for feeding bolus into gastroesophageal vestibule of dairy cattle, for improving e.g. activity of vestibule, has plunger running in feeding aiding body, and fiber part formed from natural structural-effective plant parts - Google Patents

Abstract

The device has a plunger (2.5) running in a feeding aiding body. A crude fiber part is formed in the form of bolus (1) from all natural structural-effective plant parts e.g. straw and hay, and a structural-effective synthetic base material. Handpieces are pressed such that the crude fiber part is directly fed from a holding cone into a gullet by the plunger. A barbed hook prevents dropping out of the crude fiber part from the holding cone. A bolus core (1.1) is surrounded by a bolus jacket (1.2) formed from materials, which are decomposable in fluid. The jacket is formed from materials such as cellulose containing material, albuminous material, gelatinous material, or amylaceous material.

Description

State of the art

It is known that animals (especially dairy cattle) on an energetic fed very high level be to the claims to meet the needs of modern dairy cattle husbandry.

in this connection In particular, it is about providing the energy for production the milk. This claim contradicts the one from a certain point claims the physiological forestomach function. By the high energetic Density in animal feed becomes an essential part of the structured crude fiber fraction from the basic food to a minimum. The structured crude fiber fraction but is for an animal-friendly forestomach function is indispensable. Through this feed ingredient the forestomach peristalsis is supported. This in turn leads to improvement the recalculation activity and the upheaval the feed components in the forestomach system. Furthermore, the Most of the microorganisms (infusoria) of the foresaws exclusively express their maximum digestive activity realize structured raw fibers.

comes this sensitive system except Balance, so occurs very often a hyperacidity of the Forestomach system. The effects on animal health are enormously. The forestomach flora changes and the appetite, remission and forestomach activity of the animals drops sharply. In this vicious circle expire need the affected animals in urgent need of a therapy of imbalance.

It it is known that the forestomach activity by various therapeutic approaches To be improved. They all aim at the appetite of Raise animals, that's enough To pick up roughage or structured crude fiber. For one gives it's pharmacological substances that are directly at the starvation center in the brain of the animals and on the other there are so-called rumen starters (cartridges, liquids or Bollus) which with the help of essential oils, energy boosters or other herbal supplements to increase the appetite.

It is also known that other diseases, such. B. foreign bodies, calcium derailments or ketoses are treated by means of special Bolli.

Disadvantages of the state of technology

Of the significant disadvantage of the prior art is that the stimulation the Fresslust runs uncontrolled. Most animals then eat selectively and eliminate feed with low structural content. Through this selective eating behavior the negative effects in the forestomach system are intensified.

One Another disadvantage of the pharmacologically active substances are the blocking periods on the milk and edible tissues.

Object of the invention

task The invention is easy on forestomach activity and forestomach health and improve efficiently.

These The object is achieved by a device having the features according to claim I solved.

The Bolli are characterized by the fact that the Bolli to the main component consist of structurally active crude fiber fractions. Being structurally effective Halmlängen from about 5 to 8 cm to understand. From this half length stimulate these raw fibers the forestomach action by mechanical stimuli on the walls of the Rumen. This stimulation stimulates the animals to ruminate, which has the consequence that the saliva produced during ruminating Regulation of acidic environments contributes to the forestomach system.

The structured raw fibers can consist of various indigestible raw fibers. Come here Hay, grass leaves, straw, corn stover or other straw plants Ground substance for the Vormagenbolli in question.

at The use of these basics is to pay attention to them same are not contaminated microbiologically or inorganically.

The Ground substance (structured crude fiber) is used after harvesting and conservation in the first processing step to the required half length of 5-8 cm crushed. Subsequently is the loose crude fiber fraction by means of pelleting in the needed Size and shape pressed. Then be These blanks are placed in a Bollusmantel, the hydrophilic Bollus blanks before the early Ingress of liquid protect. Otherwise the Bolli is already too early in the esophagus would swell and this clogged. The Bollusmantel consists of water-soluble Materials like z. B. in the pharmaceutical industry in the form of capsules be used. Furthermore you can also gelatinous, cellulose-containing or protein-containing Products are used as Bollusmantelmaterial. They dissolve then after manual administration by means of bruise in Forestomach system itself and put the structured crude fiber free.

Description of the invention

embodiments The invention is illustrated in the drawings and will become more specific hereinafter described.

It shows

1 : A schematic representation of the Bollus and the associated Bolluseingebers according to claim I.

The Bollus ( 1 ) consists of a Bollusmantel ( 1.2 ) and the bolluskernel ( 1.1 ). The basic material for the bolluskernel ( 1.1 ) may be various structural raw fibers. For this purpose, straw, hay, grass lice and other raw fiber-rich straw plants come into question. The structurally active raw fibers are chopped into lengths corresponding to the animal species, so that they can not form lumps in the forestomach system. Preferably, the chop length is 5-8 cm. Afterwards the fiber shreds are pressed under pressure, so that a very dense, compact and stable bollus is created. This bollus is then planted with a bollus ( 1.2 ) wrapped. This coat can consist of gelatin-containing, cellulose-containing or protein-containing materials which dissolve only in the forestomach system. Thus, too early swelling of the bollus ( 1 ) prevented.

The Bollus itself is using standard input help ( 2 ) entered into the esophagus of the animal. The Bollus ( 1 ) is placed in the holding cone ( 2.3 ). Barbs ( 2.4 ) prevent the falling out of the bollus. By pressure on the handpiece ( 2.6 ) and ( 2.2 ), the bollus is pushed over the pressure pin ( 2.5 ) which in the input aid body ( 2.1 ) runs out of the retaining cone ( 2.3 ) pushed directly into the esophagus. Then the bollus is swallowed, the bolus coat ( 1.2 ) decomposes and the bolluskern ( 1.1 ) can develop its structural effect in the forestomach system.
