Monitoring device for poultry cultivation illumination intensity independent selection characteristic

Abstract

The invention discloses a monitoring device for the poultry cultivation illumination intensity independent selection characteristic. Poultry are placed and fed in a cuboid experiment framework, lightproof fluorescent cloth covers the side face of the periphery of the experiment framework, lightproof shading cloth is hung in the experiment framework to divide the experiment framework into a bright area and a dark area. A light source is arranged in the bright area, the illumination intensity gradually decreases outward from the central point, corresponding to the light source, of a planar light field under the light source, the floor of the bright area is divided into three illumination intensity areas, a feeder and a water bowl are arranged in each illumination intensity area, and the entrance of the framework is formed in the experiment framework and located on the same side of the light source. A camera is arranged on the experiment framework, the light source is connected with a controller, the camera is connected with a digital video recorder, and the digital video recorder is connected with a display screen. According to the monitoring device, the required illumination intensity can be selected according to the preference of the poultry, the monitoring device has strong flexibility in the aspects of the research cycle and the object, learning of the demand rules of the poultry in the aspect of the illumination intensity is facilitated, and the demand rules can be used as the basis of large-scale application light source arrangement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a monitoring method for poultry behavior, in particular to a monitoring device for autonomously selecting characteristics of light intensity for poultry breeding. Background technique [0002] Poultry is a light-sensitive animal with a highly developed visual system. The stimulation of light will change some of its specific physiological characteristics and behavior, and then change its production performance. The important role of light has been realized by most scientific workers and producers. A large number of studies have shown that among all lighting factors, light intensity is the main factor affecting animal behavior. In actual production, poultry are kept in a fixed space and in an artificially set light environment. However, some light environment settings are not reasonable. For example, in order to reduce the amount of poultry exercise, improve the feed conversion rate, and reduce the damage caused by pecking, p...

However, some light environment settings are not reasonable

For example, in order to reduce the amount of poultry exercise, improve the feed conversion rate, and reduce the damage caused by pecking, producers usually use low light, but this practice also brings many negative effects: high incidence of leg disease, skeletal hypoplasia, Decreased immunity, decreased activity of poultry flocks, etc.

Moreover, the practice is clearly contrary to the concept of animal welfare
