Embodiment Construction

[0029] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0030] Such as figure 1 As shown, it includes a chicken coop 1, a conveyor belt 2, a camera bracket 3, a CCD camera 4, a motor 5 and a computer 6; the conveyor belt 2 is placed directly under a row of chicken coops 1 to receive chicken manure falling from the chicken coop 1, and the camera bracket 3 is fixed Above the end of the conveyor belt 2 along the conveying direction, a CCD camera 4 is installed on a camera bracket 5 , and the motor 5 drives the conveyor belt 2 to run. The CCD camera 4 and the motor 5 are connected to a computer 6 . The computer 6 controls the motor 5 to turn on regularly, triggers the CCD camera 4 to run the image processing program, and saves the feces information of the chickens in each chicken coop.

[0031] The camera support 3 adopts a square steel pipe.

[0032] The lens of CCD camera 4 faces the exit at the end of the c...

Abstract

The invention discloses a feces monitoring method and system for cage chicken. A camera bracket is fixed above a conveyor belt, a CCD camera is installed on the camera bracket, a motor drives the conveyor belt to run, and the motor and the CCD camera are connected to a computer; coops are placed above the conveyor belt, feces in the coops drop onto the conveyor belt to be transmitted along the conveyor belt, images of chicken feces on the conveyor belt are connected by the CCD camera in sequence, the colors and density of the feces on the conveyor belt are obtained by image processing, in order to obtain monitoring data, the colors and density of the feces are compared with a known feces-disease relation to obtain the categories of the feces, and the health of chickens in the coops are monitored. The system disclosed by the invention can be obtained reforming on the basis of the existing feces clearing belt of coops; the system is opened at a fixed time to accurately obtain the defecation conditions of the chickens in the coops; and the colors and density of the feces are compared with the color and the density of normal feces to accurately judge the health conditions of the fowl.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a feces monitoring method and system, in particular to a caged chicken feces monitoring method and system. Background technique [0002] Cage breeding is a commonly used large-scale poultry farming method, and its advantage is that the manure can be uniformly processed through the conveyor belt. In actual breeding, poultry manure is an important basis for judging whether the poultry is healthy. Normal poultry manure is strip-shaped blue-gray manure with white heads, and other manure of different colors and different quantities reflects that the chickens are in different sub-health states. Therefore, through the monitoring of poultry manure, farmers can know the health status of chicken flocks, and make adjustments by adjusting diet and increasing immunity. [0003] At present, the situation of poultry manure is usually obtained by manual observation, that is, the breeder inspects the poultry manure in the chicken coop. The di...
