The top side (10) for receiving the excrement (K) of the excrement conveyor belt (2) is divided into several excrement conveyor belt sections (TBl, TB2) arranged one after the other in the conveying direction (F)； and the at least one discharge element (4) is arranged in such a way that air is blown onto only one of said excrement conveyor belt sections (TBl, TB2).
