Livestock temperature sensing device, and system and method using same for remotely diagnosing diseases in livestock

Abstract

The present invention relates to a livestock managment apparatus using a livestock temperature sensing device, and more particularly, to a livestock temperature sensing device having a built-in temperature sensor that can sense the temperature of livestock without having to exchange or replace the livestock temperature sensing device once the device is attached to the body of an animal even when the animal grows. The present invention further relates to a system and method using the livestock temperature sensing device for diagnosing diseases in the livestock, wherein the system has a communication device capable of transmitting the results of the sensed temperature and transmitting disease information to a terminal of a caretaker when the temperature of the animal rises above a reference temperature so as to enable a remotely-located manager to easily determine the state of health of the livestock. According to the present invention, the livestock temperature sensing device consists of: a temperature sensor; a livestock body penetrating portion; a temperature sensing body having a temperature information transmitting terminal; and a temperature sensing body fixing means for fixing the temperature sensing body to the livestock. In the livestock temperature sensing device, the temperature sensing body consists of at least two temperature sensors on the bottom thereof so as to perform a temperature-correction function according to changes in body temperature and outdoor temperature, and the temperature sensing body fixing means consists of: a support plate; a resilient portion; a resilient portion support plate; and a temperature sensing body coupling portion, and a GPS module is selectively contained in the temperature sensing body. The system of the present invention further consists of: a portable communication device for receiving the temperature information transmitted from the temperature sensing body, and including a display unit; and software for analyzing, interpreting, or evaluating the temperature information received by the portable communication device, wherein the system can diagnose diseases in the livestock according to the analyzed temperature information. Further, in the system of the present invention capable of diagnosing diseases in livestock, the temperature sensing body has a warning device, the portable communication device transmits warning information according to the analyzed temperature information of the livestock, and the warning information is received from the warning device, such that the system has the function of selecting an animal suspected of having a disease according to the generation of a warning signal. The method for diagnosing diseases in livestock of the present invention consists essentially of: measuring a temperature using the temperature sensing device (step 1); transmitting temperature information on the measured temperature by means of a wireless transmission means (step 2); receiving the transmitted temperature information by means of the portable communication device (step 3); processing, analyzing, and interpreting the temperature information received from the portable communication device (step 4); and displaying the processed temperature information (step 5).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a livestock management device using a livestock body temperature sensing device, in particular, to a livestock body temperature sensing device, a livestock disease diagnosis system using the livestock body temperature sensing device, and a method thereof, and the livestock body temperature sensing device is installed on the body of the livestock Even if the livestock grows, there is no need to replace it, and a body temperature sensor capable of sensing the body temperature of the livestock is loaded, and the livestock disease diagnosis system using the livestock body temperature sensing device is provided with a communication device capable of transmitting the body temperature sensing result. When the body temperature rises above the reference body temperature, disease information is transmitted to the administrator terminal, so that the administrator located in the distance can easily check the health status of the lives...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Domestic animals are infected by infectious diseases, and it is impossible to communicate the situation to humans. Moreover, it is not easy for breeders to know whether livestock has diseases. Therefore, disease management of livestock is actually difficult.

[0005] Thus, a method of inserting a wireless chip into an ear tag and using the wireless chip to manage livestock with the ear tag has been proposed. However, the method is only used to identify livestock and cannot sense abnormal conditions of livestock, so it cannot be actively used. make corresponding

[0006] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, it is necessary to manage the history of livestock separately. For this reason, it is widely used to wear ear tags on the ears of livestock and use the ear tags to identify livestock. The text information of livestock information, therefore, it is difficult to manage a lot of livestock in a planned way, especially, there is a problem that ear tags tend to fall off as livestock grow
