Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus for placing in a stall to dispense fodder to animals in the stall in controlled manner, which apparatus includes a foot and a superstructure on the foot, which foot has a broad base on the side directed toward a floor of the stall for stability during use, and is formed from elements which can be assembled in situ in the stall.

Abstract: A building for accommodating livestock with a roof having two roof parts extending obliquely downward from a ridge, wherein transparent plate material extends parallel to the ridge, the ends edges of which plate material close to the ridge form between them a ventilation slot. At a distance above the ventilation slot a roof cap is arranged with a width greater than that of the ventilation slot.

Abstract: The invention relates to a grid floor for a cattle stable. This floor comprises a grid formed by a number of mutually parallel supported beams with interspaces and a receiving surface arranged under the grid with a passage opening. The surface of the receiving surface is smooth and transporting means are arranged which are movable over the receiving surface and to the passage opening.

Abstract: A displaceable feeding fence. This feeding fence comprises an elongate frame, a fence arranged on the frame with a number of passage openings for the head of an animal, and support and guide members connected to the frame which support and guide the frame such that it can be displaced transversely of its longitudinal direction forward and backward through a stroke length over a ground surface. The feeding fence further comprises a mat of flexible material which is connected to the frame with a longitudinal edge over the length of the fence and which is connected to the floor with an opposite longitudinal edge. In the fully advanced position the mat extends over the floor surface to the rear of the frame.

Abstract: This invention relates to a displaceable feeding fence for cattle. The feeding fence comprises an elongate frame, support and drive means for supporting the frame for stable displacement over the ground surface and for displacing the frame thereover, and a fence mounted on the frame with openings through which the animals can place their head. The support means comprise a floor plate extending rearward of the frame and scraping means are arranged which are formed by a downward protruding scraping edge on the rear side of the floor plate and a scraper plate having a downward protruding scraping edge on the front side of the frame.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cubicle partition comprising at least one standing pipe and, connected thereto, a bracket-shaped rail bent from tube material, wherein a mounting plate is fixed to the bottom end of the standing pipe. The standing pipe comprises a reinforcing foot which extends diverging downward from a distance above the bottom end.

Abstract: Device for feeding animals comprising at least one feeding fence with a frame displaceable over a ground surface, a number of bars attached to the frame which in pairs define openings through which the animals can place their head, and means for displacing the feeding fence over the ground surface. The frame supports through support means directly on the ground surface and is provided with a floor plate extending at a small interval above the ground rearward of the frame to a rear edge making contact with the ground, which plate can support at least the front legs of the animals which have pushed their head through the respective openings, wherein the feeding fence is of the self-catching type having close to each opening a swivel bar locking behind the head of the animal after the head has been pushed through the opening, and wherein the displacing means comprise motor drive means which prevent movement of the feeding fence in the non-active state.

Abstract: A device for accommodating an animal to be tended, particularly a cow, comprising a frame formed by relatively spaced lateral frame parts and a frame part interconnecting the former, the lateral frame parts bounding an accommodation space open at least to the front and the underside for receiving the animal and furthermore comprising supporting members connected with the frame for supporting the animal with respect to the frame, the supporting members comprising a belly-strap and back supporting elements coming into contact with the animal's back.

Abstract: Charges of loosely bunched crop material are swept along an arcuate wall section leading to the inlet opening of a baling chamber while their volumes are decreased by compressing them radially outwardly against the arcuate wall section. The feeding and compressing mechanism is in the form of a rotary drum having radial partitions defining the feeding and compressing chambers and hinged plate portions to effect the compressing.
