Embodiment Construction

[0041] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0042] Such as figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, the specific implementation system includes a chicken cage 1, a conveyor belt 2, a machine vision detection device 3, a CCD camera 7 and a motor 4; the chicken cage 1 is located above the conveyor belt 2, and the conveyor belt 2 is installed below the chicken cage 1, and the conveyor belt 2 is used to accept And transport the eggs, the eggs laid by the chickens in the chicken coop 1 leak from the bottom of the chicken coop 1 and fall onto the conveyor belt 2 and are transported along the conveyor belt 2. A plurality of chicken cages 1 are included, and the plurality of chicken cages 1 are arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 2 .

[0043] One end of the conveyor belt 2 is installed and connected to a motor 4, and the motor 4 drives the conveyor belt 2 to work; the machine vision det...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method and a system for monitoring egg laying performance of a laying hen zone of cage-rearing laying hens. Wherein coops are arranged side by side, a conveying belt is arranged below the coops, and a machine vision detection device with a CCD camera and a lighting device is arranged at the conveying outlet end of the conveyor belt; chicken lay eggs and the eggs leak fromthe bottom of the hencoop and fall onto the conveying belt, after all eggs are laid, the conveying belt is started, the eggs pass through the machine vision detection device in the conveying processalong with the conveying belt, the CCD camera is triggered to shoot and obtain conveying belt surface images with the eggs, and egg contours in the images are obtained through image processing. And counting is performed to obtain the number of eggs, and processing is performed to obtain the coop area position, the egg color, the egg size and the egg weight of each egg, thereby realizing real-timemonitoring. According to the system, the change conditions of the egg laying number, the egg weight and the egg color of each egg laying area every day can be monitored, the egg laying performance andthe health condition of the laying hen area are monitored, the system is simple, and the cost of breeding equipment is saved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a detection method and system for chickens and poultry, in particular to a method and system for automatic egg counting and location egg production performance monitoring of caged laying hens. Background technique [0002] Cage breeding is a commonly used large-scale breeding method for laying hens. Its advantage is that the eggs can be transferred to the conveyor belt and transferred to the egg collection area uniformly by the conveyor belt. In actual breeding, the number of eggs, egg weight and egg color of laying hens are important basis for judging the laying performance and health of laying hens. Normal laying hens have constant laying performance. Significant changes in egg weight and egg color often indicate changes in laying hens in this area, which can reflect that the laying hens in this area are in different sub-health states or have sick or dead chickens. For example, the body weight of the hen at the start of layi...
