An electronic temperature measuring ear tag and a livestock body temperature accurate measuring method

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of animal body temperature detection and provides an electronic temperature measuring ear tag and a livestock body temperature accurate measuring method. The electronic temperature measuring ear tag comprises an ear tag body provided with a circuit board and a battery; the ear tag body comprises an ear tag head matching an ear tag fixer; the ear tag body is provided with at least two temperature probes on the same side as the ear tag fixer; the circuit board is provided with AD sampling units which are connected with the temperature probes separately; each AD sampling unit is electrically connected with a master control unit which controls the temperature probes to collect the body temperature of livestock synchronously and periodically; the master control unit is electrically connected with a storage unit used for storing collected body temperature data; the storage unit is electrically connected with a wireless communication unit which reads stored body temperature data and sends data periodically. With at least two temperature probes, the problem is solved that obtained temperature values are low because contact points are not attached to the surfaces of ears within a short time during movement of livestock in a temperature measuring period, and the accuracy of temperature measurement data is improved.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of intelligent breeding animal body temperature detection, in particular to an electronic temperature measuring ear tag and a method for accurately measuring the body temperature of livestock. Background technique [0002] Body temperature is one of the most important vital characteristics of livestock, and many infectious diseases can cause changes in body temperature. Use traditional measurement methods such as inserting a mercury thermometer into the pig’s anus to measure temperature, or use an infrared thermometer to measure the temperature of pig ears. These several traditional methods all need to manually measure the body temperature of the animals one by one, which takes a long time and high labor costs. At the same time, traditional manual methods have a long detection time and low timeliness. Measures such as isolation cannot be taken in a timely manner. This causes rapid disease transmission and may ca...

However, the plan is to place the temperature sensor in the detection hole of the ear tag, and report the body temperature according to the value obtained by the sensor in the detection hole. In this way, once the animal’s ears are not in close contact with the detection hole, the measured body temperature will be much lower than the actual body temperature. poor data accuracy

[0006] Existing body temperature ear tags all use single-point temperature measurement ear tags, which are prone to the following two problems: the ears of livestock are not absolutely
