CONSTITUTION: The cow mat(100) includes: a closed cell foam for warm-keeping and cushion. The closed cell foam is formed inside the cow mat itself(100) using a foam polymer(EVA), so that the excellent warm-keeping and the good shock absorption lessen the stress of the cows and allow them to conveniently take a rest. The cow mat is installed at a low cost and formed by mixing the odorless material so as to remove the smell of the volatile compound and by using a green color like that of the natural meadow so as to help the cows to familiarly use the mat, and by mixing an inflammable material so as to prevent a fire.

Description

Cow mat with independent bubble {The cow mat}

The present invention relates to a cow mat having an independent bubble for keeping warm and cushioning, and since the independent bubble is formed in the mat itself using a foamable polymer material, the heat retention is excellent and the shock absorption is good so that the cows can rest comfortably, thus reducing stress. There are advantages to giving.

The cow mat of the present invention can be designed and constructed at low cost, and the smell of volatile compounds that cows don't like by using a odorless material is mixed and green and green-based colors similar to natural pastures are used to make cows familiar. The mat is also used to mix the flame retardant materials to help prevent fire.

Herein, the independent bubble refers to a number of spaces generated inside the mat through a process called foaming when producing the mat. By forming such an independent space can have the effect of cold protection and insulation. Some non-foamable rug products are difficult to form the space with these independent bubbles, so it is inevitably formed to be thick for insulation, and thus there is a disadvantage in that the production cost is excessive.

It is generally reported that cattle spend more than 14 hours a day lying in the barn and less than 10 hours standing.

Therefore, the resting time of the cows in the barn is absolutely important, and the time that the cows lay on their stomachs can release tension and stress in order to increase the amount of milk for cows, and to increase the weight of cows and the production of many calves. The environment must be provided.

In modern mass livestock production systems, dairy cattle breeding has been mass and specialized, and most cattle stalls and livestock stalls have been designed with cement, concrete, and steel structures in order to create a stable stall for mass production.

In particular, cows for milking are composed of elongated grooves providing feed in the center of wide concrete or steel structures, and each cow is about 1m x 2m in length and length to accommodate a cow at right angles to the direction of these grooves. The stalls are arranged.

Each barn of cows is divided into reinforcement pillars, and the cows produce milk by eating food in these individual barns.

However, most cows for milking are composed of concrete floors, and the dirt generated is washed with water to maintain cleanness, but the long-term moisture caused by these breeds of harmful microorganisms and viruses makes cows easily ill and frequent diseases. I suffered.

Cold, hard, and damp concrete floors do not want cows to lie down, so they have to stand a lot of time, resulting in lack of sleep and stress, resulting in weight loss, arthritis, reduced birthrate, indigestion, and reduced amount of milk. Cows are very frequent with diarrhea and other diseases, and in the case of calves with weak immunity, their mortality is high.

In the past, hay was laid on the soil floor of a cow's barn, so that warmth and cushions were formed so that the cow could rest easily. Hay mixed with livestock manure was used as compost.

The rug material such as hay has to be exchanged and provided continuously in order to prevent disease and cleanliness of the livestock, and the used rug material has to be processed in the barn, which is a time and costly effort.

Therefore, it is true that many farms have little practicality because of the high initial cost, maintenance cost, and high energy consumption, even if they want to build a clean device and heating equipment for cows.

Looking at the past cases of trying to solve the above problems,

Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0370799 describes a cow mat composed of a polypropylene cover and a built-in packing pack for raising healthy cows, but in terms of keeping warm due to excessive initial investment and the use of a non-foamable polymer compound. There may be many disadvantages, and by-products such as scrap may easily occur due to friction when the cow moves, and may be vulnerable to cleanliness and pollution prevention and may have problems in durability.

In the case of calves with weak immunity, living in a barn composed of existing concrete, straw, rice husk, etc. can easily cause disease caused by various bacteria.

Thus, a newly born calf may be raised for a while in the inhabited room instead of the barn, but soon sent back to the barn. Thus, in the case of ordinary calf, mortality was high due to this environment.

The Republic of Korea Registration No. 20-0268491 describes the calf protection room for calves with weak immunity, but not for mass breeding but for one or two calves. It will be a burden.

In Korea Registered Room No. 20-0215999, only the mat block for the livestock was described, but it was mentioned only in the mating part of the mat block, and there were many problems in the warmth, and the function and the description for the part such as dirt removal are insufficient.

As such, by using foaming material, it contains self-contained bubble and has excellent thermal insulation and shock absorption. It also helps to prevent fire by using flame-retardant material. The cow mat can be difficult to find the case.

In order to solve these disadvantages, the present invention makes the green color of the environment similar to that of natural grasslands at low cost and easy construction in using the cows, and rejects the cows by removing the peculiar smell of the polymer compound using the odorless material. It does not cause a reaction, and by using an expandable polymer containing an independent bubble in the mat itself, there is an advantage that can keep the cows healthy because of good heat retention and cushion.

It also uses fire retardant materials to prevent fire

The present invention relates to a cow mat and a construction method thereof, which are good and easy to maintain, so that the calf can be healthy.
