Animal box, particularly for a sow durings its pregnancy, wall element for such an animal box and installation with a plurality of such boxes

摘要

The cage is designed to hold animals, particularly during the gestation period, and is formed from two wall elements (11), which are located to form the side walls. At least one of these wall elements is formed from a fixed principal panel (11a), with a retractable panel (11b) fitted to the rear of the principal panel. This retractable panel is fitted in such a way as to pivot relative to the principal panel around a vertical axis (XX') so as to provide two positions relative to the principal panel. In the first position, the two panel are arranged roughly in line with each other and in the second position, the retractable panel is retracted to a position, where it forms a right angle with the principal panel.
