An automatic animal feeding device

Abstract

The invention relates to an automated animal feeding device which comprises a feeding trough, a controller, a trigger, a biosensor and a batcher. The trigger, the biosensor and the batcher are respectively connected with the controller. The controller is used for analyzing behaviors of an ingestion animal within corresponding time according to data collected by the trigger and the biosensor, a free eating time quantum and a limited eating time quantum of the ingestion animal are set according to the behaviors, and the controller is used for controlling the batcher to prepare and convey edible fodder to the feeding trough according to the data sent by the trigger in the set free eating time quantum of the ingestion animal. According to the automated animal feeding device, real-time eating needs of the ingestion animal can be analyzed according to the behavior habits of the ingestion animal, the free eating time quantum and the limited eating time quantum of the ingestion animal can be determined according to the behavior habits, the fodder is provided according to ingestion signals actively given out by the ingestion animal, the eating speed and the eating volume of the ingestion animal can be regulated. Thus, the eating behavioral habits of the ingestion animal are accommodated, and fodder waste is effectively avoided.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of animal feeding, in particular to an automatic animal feeding device. 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 triggers feeding by...

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 the foraging animals will not only have arching behavior to touch the trigger when they need to eat, but also will perform arching behavior and touch the trigger when they are playing. 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
