Sensing system and method for animal individual feed intake and health condition monitoring

Abstract

The invention discloses a sensing system for animal individual feed intake and health condition monitoring. The system comprises an RFID ear identifier identification module, a sensor system, an upper computer, a communication device, and a PC machine. The sensor system comprises an infrared sensor, an animal feed intake measuring module, a body temperature measuring module, and a heart rate measuring module. The animal feed intake measuring module comprises a micro vibration sensor. The body temperature measuring module comprises an infrared temperature sensor. The heart rate measuring module comprises a heart rate sensor. The upper computer is also provided with a micro-storage. A microcontroller is connected with the micro-storage. The micro-storage is connected with the PC machine through the communication device. The system and the method solve problems of real-time online detection of livestock animal feed intake and health conditions, and are suitable for long-term real-time monitoring of multi-class captive-bred animals, and greatly reduce manpower and material resources, and are beneficial for supervising growth processes and health conditions of animals.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the application field of sensing technology, in particular to a sensing system and method for monitoring animal individual feed intake and health status. Background technique [0002] Feed intake is the basic way for animals to take in nutrients, and it is one of the key factors to ensure the normal growth and development of animals and the full play of production performance. At present, the main problem of real-time detection of animal feed intake is the low detection accuracy, which mainly targets group animals, and some detection methods also affect the animal's feeding behavior and feed intake. If the feed intake of individual animals can be accurately measured, it will have important practical significance for the entire animal husbandry. [0003] With the continuous development of advanced sensing and information network technologies, related products for animal feed intake monitoring also appear. For example, the cow ...

Problems solved by technology

[0007] At present, although researchers at home and abroad have conducted in-depth research on the monitoring technology of animal vital signs, there are still the following deficiencies: transplanting or swallowing temperature measuring devices can easily cause local infection or inflammation of livestock and poultry, and cannot be monitored for a long time. Although the monitoring device has no wound surface, it is inconvenient to carry
