IMPROVEMENT TO NEEDLE FOR INNOCULATING NUTRIENTS INTO THE INNER ENVIRONMENT OF FERTILE EGGS

Abstract

An improvement to a needle for unnoculating nutrients into the inner environment of fertile eggs represents an inventive solution in the field of poultry farming, in particular in the sector of poultry breeding, specifically in the industry of equipment for the application of fluids into fertile eggs, in order to render nutrition feasible and effective in the pre-hatching stage of fertile eggs (Ov), being particularly useful for protecting the embryo, avoiding the direct intramuscular injection of nutrient into the embryo. An improved injection tool (4) has been designed for that purpose in the form of an injection needle with a rounded free end (42) and with a plurality of openings (43) next to same, through which the nutrient is injected, while the rounded free end (42) prevents piercing of the embryo (Em).

Claims

Improvement applied to needle for inoculating nutrients into the inner environment of fertile eggs, wherein a system for inoculating fluid inside fertile eggs is formed by an egg module (m1), consisting of a shell (Ca), amniotic fluid (Li) and embryo (Em), which is subject to the action of the inoculation module (m2), comprising an operating mechanism (1) supporting the shell perforation tool (2) in the form of a tubular punch whose interior also houses the improved injection tool (4), in the form of an injection needle characterized in that it comprises a body (41) with free rounded end (42), and, adjacent to this rounded end (42) is defined a plurality of openings (43) with outlet angle ().

2. Improvement applied to needle for inoculating nutrients into the inner environment of fertile eggs, according to claim 1, wherein in one embodiment the improved injection tool (4) is characterized by having two openings (43).

3. Improvement applied to needle for inoculating nutrients into the inner environment of fertile eggs, according to claim 1, wherein in one embodiment, the improved injection tool (4) is characterized by a base (41) with a diameter of 1 mm and openings (43) with a diameter of 0.60 mm.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0039] The following detailed description should be read and interpreted with reference to the presented drawings, showing the state of the art for inoculating fluids into the interior of eggs, and device for this purpose, and, as complement, is disclosed the needle improvement for inoculating nutrients into the inner environment of fertile eggs, and the novel condition of inoculation of nutrients not intended to limit the scope of the invention, this being only limited as explicit in the framework of claims.

[0040] a. State of the art: as shown in FIG. 1, the system for inoculating fluid into fertile eggs is disclosed which, in a referential form is formed by:

[0041] a.1 egg module (ml) consisting of egg (Ov) shell (Ca), amniotic fluid (Li) and embryo (Em), see FIG. 2;

[0042] a.2 inoculation module (m2), formed by an inoculation device (Di) composed of an operating mechanism (1) which supports the shell perforation tool (2), in the form of a tubular punch whose interior also houses the injection tool (3), see FIG. 2;

[0043] Since the scope of the present invention is restricted to innovation applied in the injection tool, its constructive concept detail will be shown in the form of a conventional injection needle, which is formed by a body (31) and at its free end is defined a cutting bevel (32), as evidenced in FIGS. 5a and 5b,

[0044] The technical effect obtained with this conventional configuration of the inoculation device (Di) means the possibility of needle access (3) inside the egg (Ov), its beveled end (32) being positioned only in the amniotic fluid (Li), see FIG. 3 as penetrating into the embryo (Em), see FIG. 4, which, as already discussed in the technique section, is appropriate for inoculating vaccines, but, in principle, is not a desired condition for the inoculation of nutrients.

[0045] b. About the inventive technique: as shown in FIG. 6, the system formed for inoculating fluid within fertile eggs is disclosed (Ov), which again in a re-missive form is formed by:

[0046] b.1 Egg module (ml), consisting of a shell (Ca), amniotic fluid (Li) and embryo (Em), see FIG. 6;

[0047] b.2 inoculation module (m2): comprising an operating mechanism (1) supporting the shell perforation tool (2) in the form of a tubular punch whose interior also houses the improved injection tool (4), in the form of an injection needle formed of a body (41), whose free end (42) is rounded, a plurality of openings (43) which are provided with outlet angle () being defined adjacent to this rounded end, wherein in a preferred embodiment at least two apertures are defined (43), as evidenced in FIGS. 9a and 9b;

[0048] The technical effect obtained with this configuration of the inoculation device (Di) with the improved injection tool (4) means the possibility of access of the needle (4) inside the egg (Ov), and its rounded end (42) can be positioned only in the amniotic fluid (Li), see FIG. 7 and at the most compressing the embryo (Em), see FIG. 8, which, as already discussed in the technical section, is the appropriate scenario for the nutrient inoculation condition, whereby the nutrient is injected through the openings (43).

[0049] In addition, a technical specification of the inventive concept of the improved injection tool (4), its base (41) with a diameter of 1 mm and openings (43) with a diameter of 0.60 mm

[0050] The choice of the preferred embodiment of the subject invention in this application, as described in this detailing section, is only given as an example. Any changes, modifications, and variations can be made to any other embodiments of the improved injection tool (4), which changes may be designed by those skilled in the art, however, without diverging from the object disclosed in the present patent application, which is exclusively defined by the appended claims.

[0051] It appears from what has been described and illustrated that the improvement applied to needle for inoculating nutrients into the inner environment of fertile eggs as claimed herein, complies with the rules governing the patent in the light of the Industrial Property Law, and deserving from what was exposed and as a consequence, the respective privilege.
