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 method and system for monitoring the feces of caged chickens. The camera bracket is fixed above the conveyor belt, the CCD camera is installed on the camera bracket, the motor drives the conveyor belt to run, the motor and the CCD camera are connected to the computer; the chicken cage is placed above the conveyor belt, and the chicken manure in the chicken cage falls on the conveyor belt and is transported along the conveyor belt , the images of chicken manure on the conveyor belt are sequentially collected by the CCD camera, the color and thickness of the feces on the conveyor belt are obtained through image processing, and the monitoring data are obtained. The type of feces and the health of the chickens in each cage are monitored. The present invention can be refitted on the basis of the existing feces cleaning belt in chicken cages; it can be opened at a fixed time to accurately obtain the defecation situation of chickens in each chicken cage; by comparing with the color and thickness of normal feces, it can accurately judge the health of poultry situation.

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...
