Flexible sensing device and method for achieving animal oestrus judgment and physical condition classification

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of sensing technology application, in particular to a sensing device for monitoring animal physiological behavior signals in real time and a method for carrying out judgment and classification on animal oestrus and physical conditions. The sensing device comprises a flexible sensing assembly worn on the body of an animal, a wireless network transmitting system and an upper computer on a monitoring center. The flexible sensing assembly comprises minitype sensing function modules for measuring the exercise amount, the temperature, the blood pressure and the electrocardio of the animal, all signals collected by the sensing function modules are transformed, processed and then sent into a minitype storage, and then the signals are uploaded to the upper computer of the monitoring center through the wireless network transmitting system. The minitype sensing function modules, a minitype power supply module, a microcontroller, the minitype storage and a minitype wireless sensor are all arranged on a strap-shaped flexible substrate and are covered by a thin film layer. The whole system is small in size, soft, flexible, convenient to use, suitable for carrying out long-term real-time monitoring on daily activities and physical conditions of animals, capable of accurately judging oestrus behaviors and physiological conditions and is beneficial to supervision of the whole production and circulation process of livestock.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the application field of sensing technology, in particular to a sensing device for real-time monitoring of animal physiological behavior signals, and a method for judging and classifying animal individual estrus behavior and health status. Background technique [0002] Livestock and poultry production is one of the important sources of human food supply chain. In order to achieve the purpose of healthy breeding and effective control of various diseases, it is very necessary to implement the whole process quality supervision of livestock and poultry. Due to the continuous development of advanced sensing and information network technology, real-time digital security monitoring of livestock and poultry becomes possible. At present, developed countries such as the United States, Japan, and France have related products put into commercial use, such as implantable physiological signal detection systems, which place implants used to ...

Problems solved by technology

The sensors used in the monitoring systems in the above two documents are all large-scale rigid structures made of hard materials, which not only have the disadvantage of insufficient contact with the animal’s body, which affects the detection accuracy, but also cause physiological load and psychological stress on the animal. The burden affects its normal behavior and physiological state; in addition, sometimes the sensor will malfunction due to the friction and bumping of animals against each other
