Device for the rearing of small animals, in particular mast poultry, such as chicken

摘要

Facility for accommodating small animals, in particular fattening poultry such as cockerels, in an animal house, having a plastic grid-like carrying floor (21) which passes through said house, is designed as a conveyor and is supported by carrying profiles (38) which extend transversely with respect to the conveying direction of said floor and approximately parallel to the plane of the carrying floor and are in operative connection with lateral conveying members (conveying chains 51), there being arranged, on the upper side of the carrying floor (21), in each case above the carrying profiles (38), soft, elastically compliant cushions, in particular in the form of tubular hollow bodies or profiles (40). In order to simplify the structure, the carrying floor (21) is formed from a continuous web of a comparatively thin-filament netting (10). IMAGE
