Intelligent animal feeding system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent animal feeding system which comprises an electronic mark on the body of an ingestion animal, an identity recognition unit, a feeding trough, a control unit, a fodder preparing unit, a triggering unit, a biosensor and an environment collector. The fodder preparing unit, the triggering unit, the biosensor and the environment collector are respectively connected with the control unit. The identity recognition unit is used for reading information of the electronic mark and transmitting the information to the control unit. The control unit is used for analyzing behavioral habits of the ingestion animal within corresponding time according to data collected by the triggering unit, the biosensor and the environment collector, a free eating time quantum and a limited eating time quantum of the ingestion animal are set according to the behavioral habits, and the speed and the volume of edible fodder conveyed by the fodder preparing unit to the fodder trough are automatically adjusted in the set free eating time quantum. According to the intelligent animal feeding system, the behavioral habits of the ingestion animal are conformed, the stress response of the animal is reduced, and the maximization of the economic benefit of animal breeding is achieved. In addition, the invention provides a feeding method of the intelligent animal feeding system.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of animal feeding, in particular to an animal intelligent feeding system and method. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the breeding industry, the original animal feeding method of manual feeding can no longer meet the needs of breeding, so automatic feeding equipment has appeared. The common automatic feeding equipment in the market can perform automatic quantitative feeding or batch feeding. It realizes the automatic feeding of animals without guards and frequent feeding, but this method often needs to change the feeding habits of the animals themselves, which is easy to cause stress to the animals, which is not conducive to the welfare of animals, and also It is easy to cause waste and staleness of feed, and it is still impossible to leave artificial participation. [0003] In order to overcome this defect, another more intelligent feeding equipment has been produced. This equipment trigge...

Problems solved by technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the aquaculture industry, the original animal feeding method of manual feeding can no longer meet the needs of breeding, so automatic feeding equipment has appeared. The common automatic feeding equipment in the market can perform automatic quantitative feeding or batch feeding. It realizes the automatic feeding of animals without human guards and frequent feeding, but this method often needs to change the feeding habits of the animals themselves, which is easy to cause stress to the animals, which is not conducive to the welfare of animals, and also It is easy to cause waste and staleness of feed, and it is still impossible to leave artificial participation

[0003] In order to overcome this defect, another more intelligent feeding equipment has been produced. This equipment triggers feeding by arching a certain device by the feeding animal, which conforms to the behavior of the animal itself and can effectively avoid the feeding of the animal. The generation of stress behavior, but there are also disadvantages: because foraging animals not only have arching behaviors to touch the trigger device when they need to eat, but also arching behaviors and then touch the trigger device when playing, the trigger device is in the It is impossible to distinguish the feeding behavior or play behavior of the feeding animals, and the next time the feeding behavior is triggered, it will cause a serious waste of feed, and it is also impossible to achieve precise feeding control, which will affect the maximum economic benefits of animal breeding
