DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

(8) Referring now to FIGS. 1-6, the preferred embodiment of the integral bird anti-migration panel of the present invention is shown, generally numbered at 1000. Said integral anti-migration panel 1000 is generally conformed by a plurality of arches 1100 having a stepped pyramidal shape; a plurality of crossbars 1200, and reticles 1300 of different dimensions.

(9) The integral anti-migration panel 1000 is made of plastic or other light materials that do not rust due to the effects of humidity, ammonia or any other chemical.

(10) As shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 4, the plurality of arches 1100 are spaced apart equidistantly from each other and are joined together at their sides by the plurality of cross members 1200 and are integrally attached to said cross members to form a single element. As shown in FIG. 1, the join of said arches 1100 and said crossbars 1200 allows the formation of reticles 1300 of different dimensions.

(11) Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, it can be seen that the smallest dimension reticle 1300 is located in the lower part of the panel and the largest dimension reticle 1300 is located in the upper part of said integral anti-migration panel 1000, this configuration is designed to prevent chicks or small birds from passing through the panel from one side to the other. The squares are enlarged as they move away from the floor so that at any age of the birds they cannot pass through the integral anti-migration panel 1000. The integral anti-migration panel 1000 is placed since the chickens are small and is removed when the birds finish their production cycle and are removed for slaughter.

(12) The reticles 1300 of different dimensions allow the air to pass through the integral anti-migration panel 1000 without difficulty, that is to say, there is no obstruction for the circulation of the air from one side to the other, which is an important factor, since the integral anti-migration panel 1000 is designed to avoid any air deflection. This allows the refreshing and cooling of the birds with the passing of air.

(13) Referring again to FIGS. 1 and 2, it can be appreciated that the upper crossbar 1200 attached to the upper end of said arches 1100, comprises undulations 1210, which prevents the birds from perching by making uncomfortable the rest thereon, which is different to all the others panels known in the prior art where the upper part is linear and straight favoring the birds to perch on the upper part thereof. Likewise, it can also be appreciated that the lower crossbar 1200 joined to the lower ends of said arches 1100 forms a support base to place the integral anti-migration panel 1000 on the farm floor; likewise, said lower cross member comprises a plurality of projections 1220, which are configured to fix the panel on the ground in the position desired by the user, by burying or inserting said projections 1220 into the ground.

(14) Referring again to FIG. 2, it is appreciated that the attachment between integral anti-migration panels 1000 to form an anti-migration barrier is made by means of joint rings 1400, thus, it is not required placing the panels one on top of the other, which would result in the use of more panels to cover the desired length.

(15) Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, it is shown that the ends of the integral anti-migration panels 1000 that are in contact with the walls, have a cap 1500 to prevent birds from getting inside the panels 1000. Said caps are attached to the panel by means of the joining rings 1400. By placing this element, it can be considered that the barrier is sealed and closed without any open area through which the birds can enter therein.

(16) As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, during the formation of the anti-migratory barrier, there is an exception of union between the panels, which is the area where the automatic feeders and automatic nipple-type drinkers pass, wherein for this purpose a pyramidal support base 1500 is placed between the panels, which is attached to the panels by means of joint rings 1400 and allows the passage and support of said feeders and drinkers. Likewise, in case where the passage of the automatic feeders and automatic nipple-type drinkers does not coincide with the union of two integral anti-migration panels 1000, one of the ondulations 1210 of said panel 1000 can be removed to allow the pass and support of said feeders and drinkers, as shown in FIG. 7.

(17) In accordance with the foregoing, it will be evidente for a person skilled in the art that the embodiments of the integral anti-migration panel of the present invention and their respective components described above are presented for illustrative purposes only, since a skilled person can perform numerous variations to the same, as long as they are designed in accordance with the principles of the present invention. As consequence of the previous, the present invention includes all the embodiments that a person skilled in the art may propose from the concepts contained in the present description, in accordance with the following claims.
