Testing system and method for identifying limp of dairy cattle early

Abstract

The invention relates to a testing system for identifying limp of dairy cattle early. The testing system comprises a 3D membrane stress plate and a ramp which are arranged in sequence, wherein guide bars are respectively arranged on two sides of the 3D membrane stress plate and the ramp, and photoelectric sensors are arranged on the guide bars. The testing system further comprises a counter connected with the photoelectric sensors. An anti-slip antiseptic rubber blanket is laid on the 3D membrane stress plate, and the counter and the 3D membrane stress plate are connected with a data acquisition and record device. The testing system has the advantages that the 3D membrane stress plate serves as a test sensor to pick up acting force of dairy cattle to the ground, the dairy cattle can pass through a testing channel without interference during testing, and the testing system is simple, convenient and feasible. A test method has no special requirements for environments and light. A large amount of data information can be acquired by the membrane stress plate, real conditions of the acting force of dairy cattle to the ground during walking can be reflected accurately, and therefore, operators can identify whether dairy cattle limp or which legs of dairy cattle limp early through the data analysis result.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a test system and method for early identification of cow lameness. The test system is mainly installed at the exit of the cow milking parlor. Eliminate the influencing factors of the pressure signal measured by the left and right two 3D film stress plates to ensure that the cow passes the test system in the most natural state, so that the final data obtained to identify whether the cow is lame and which leg is lame is more accurate. Background technique [0002] The existing technology for identifying lameness of dairy cows is mainly to observe the lameness of dairy cows with the naked eye by experienced breeding technicians. When lameness of dairy cows is found, the situation is already quite serious, and the possibility of cure is very low. As a result, the lame condition of dairy cows cannot be identified early, resulting in great economic losses. At present, the technology of animal foot pressure measurement trail system...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0002] The existing technology for identifying lameness in dairy cows is mainly through visual observation of the lameness of dairy cows by experienced breeding technicians. When lameness in dairy cows is found, the situation is already quite serious and the possibility of cure is very low.

This leads to the inability to identify the lameness of dairy cows early, resulting in great economic losses

At present, the technology of animal foot pressure measurement trail system has been basically realized, but this technology is only suitable for light-weight animals, and it can only judge whether it has lameness, and cannot judge which leg has lameness
