A device and method for calves condition monitoring based on linkage of behavior characteristic spectrum

Abstract

A device and method for calves state monitoring based on linkage of behavior characteristic spectrum, including dual cameras, switch and computer, external controller and external actuator, the cameras are connected to the computer through switches, and the cameras collect calf activity video as the monitoring system Signal input, the computer analyzes the video to obtain the individual status and behavior information of the calf, and performs fuzzy reasoning to obtain the control quantity and alarm parameters. The external controller is connected to the computer through a serial port and receives the control parameters, and adjusts the working parameters of the external actuator to improve the performance of the calf. In the breeding environment, the SIM communication device is used to send alarm messages; the invention uses two cameras combined with image analysis technology to monitor the behavior information and state parameters of calves around the clock, and conduct environmental regulation according to individual state parameters, so as to solve the problem of calves in animal husbandry production. The collection and utilization of individual behavior information.

Description

A device and method for calves condition monitoring based on linkage of behavior characteristic spectrum technical field This patent belongs to the technical field of dairy cow individual behavior state monitoring, and in particular relates to a device and method for calves state monitoring based on behavior characteristic spectrum linkage, which has abnormal alarm and environment control functions. Background technique Large-scale dairy cow breeding is an effective way to improve the efficiency and level of dairy cow production, increase farmers' income, improve the quality and safety of dairy products, improve the ability to prevent and control diseases, and achieve the coordinated development of animal husbandry and the environment. Large-scale farming has brought new challenges and requirements to feeding management methods and methods. Since there are differences in age, parity, and lactation stage among individuals in dairy cows, and the difference in milk production...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The above research has improved the efficiency and accuracy of dairy cow information acquisition, but usually a sensor can only monitor a single information, the system hardware cost is high, and the dairy cow breeding environment is harsh, the sensor is easy to fall off and lost, and it will cause certain damage to the cow's body , the system maintenance is difficult, and it is difficult to apply it to the entire cattle farm; most of the collected information is the external physical parameters of the cows, it is difficult to monitor the advanced behavior of the cows, and it is even more difficult to know the internal pathological and physiological information of the cows; The control system adopts open-loop control, with a fixed threshold as the control parameter, and the external environment parameters are unstable, so it is difficult for the system to work in a stable state, and the energy efficiency is high, and the control effect is difficult to guarantee.

In addition, the mortality rate of newborn calves is high, so calves under the age of 6 months need to be placed in calf pens for fine feeding and management, but there is no report on the automatic system for information collection of calves

At present, dairy farms use manual regular inspections to care for calves, which not only wastes manpower and material resources, it is difficult to ensure the breeding environment of calves, and it is even more difficult to find abnormal pathological behaviors of calves in time, which can easily lead to accidental premature death of calves
