A ruminant monitoring system

Abstract

The invention discloses a ruminant monitoring system and belongs to the technical field of livestock breeding engineering. The ruminant monitoring system comprises a ruminant carrying device and an outdoor monitoring device, wherein the ruminant carrying device is communicated with the outdoor monitoring device through wireless signals. When the ruminant monitoring system is used, firstly a shell fixedly provided with the ruminant carrying device is hung on the neck of a ruminant together with a hanging rope, a counterweight on the hanging rope is positioned at the lowermost end of the hanging rope, and one surface of the shell with a piezoelectric ceramic piece at the side edge of the hanging rope is closely contacted with the body surface of the ruminant inwards, so that the piezoelectric ceramic piece can be used for collecting and monitoring rumination time signals of the ruminant at any time. The ruminant monitoring system is convenient and easy to use, accurate in measurement, and high in degree of intelligentization without manual intervention. By matching with software of an upper computer, the ruminant monitoring system can be used for realizing the detection, statistics, analysis, query and the like of the rumination condition, and uninterruptedly monitoring the rumination conditions of the ruminant for 24 hours, and has high degree of intelligentization in detection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal husbandry and breeding engineering, and relates to a measurement system for ruminant rumination time, in particular to a ruminant monitoring system. Background technique [0002] Rumination activity is an important indicator of ruminant health. The rumination rhythm and time of ruminants are closely related to the health status of cattle. By collecting, processing and analyzing the ruminant signals of ruminants, the health status of ruminants can be detected and discovered more accurately. A sudden drop in rumination activity compared to normal levels can indicate that the animal has lost its appetite or may be ill. Prolonged loss of appetite is an indicator that the animal is in a diseased state. As long as there are no changes in diet, pasture management, and overall health of the ruminant, ruminant rumination is very stable. When management errors occur, the rumination rate of the herd change...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] Traditional pasture ruminant breeding mainly detects ruminant diseases through the experience and observation of pasture managers. This method has three main shortcomings: First, the accuracy is low, and the physical characteristics of cattle cannot be accurately detected through scientific methods The second is that the real-time performance is poor, and if the administrator does not detect in time, it may delay the best time for ruminant disease treatment and cause greater losses; the third is that the workload is heavy, requiring a lot of manpower and material resources to complete the disease monitoring work

The device is complex in structure, not strong enough, consumes a lot of power, and cannot be used for a long time
