Integrated device for catching and identifying number of cage-free chicken in farm

Abstract

The invention relates to an integrated device for catching and identifying the number of cage-free chicken in a farm, and belongs to the field of poultry breeding equipment. A device which integratesthe capture and individual counting of the cage-free chicken and can work independently with the capture and the individual counting is provided; according to the technical scheme, the device comprises a catching device and a number identifying device, wherein the catching device and the number identifying device are detachably connected, and the catching device is positioned in front of the number identifying device; an opening is arranged in front of the catching device, a plurality of rotating drums are arranged on the opening, a layer of thin flexible pipe is laid on the cylindrical surfaces of the rotating drums, straight gears are coaxially fixed on the rotating drums, the plurality of straight gears are linearly arranged and meshed, the straight gear at one end is connected with a motor driving shaft, a first conveyor belt is arranged inside the catching device; the number identifying device comprises an number identifying unit with a power source, a second conveyor belt is arranged in the number identifying unit, the power source provides power for the second conveyor belt, and two pairs of signal transmitters and signal receivers are arranged on two sides of the number identifying unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an integrated device for catching and identifying chickens in free-range farms, and belongs to the technical field of poultry breeding equipment. Background technique [0002] The existing loose chicken farmers still use manual capture of chickens, and a few farmers forming an industrial chain will buy special capture equipment from abroad. For the vast majority of farmers, manually go to catch, the amount of catch is large, and the workload required is also very large. Determining the number of free-range chickens has always been a difficult task. Free-range chickens run around, the range of activities is uncertain, and it is not easy to count the number clearly. Many existing devices for counting chickens are aimed at chickens raised in cages. The activity area for raising chickens is small, so it is convenient to count the number of chickens. The most common way to identify the number of free-range chickens is to wear foot...

Determining the number of free-range chickens has always been a difficult task. Free-range chickens run around, the range of activities is uncertain, and it is not easy to count the number clearly. Many of the existing devices for counting the number of chickens are aimed at chickens raised in cages. The activity area for raising chickens is small, and it is convenient to count the number

The most common way to identify the number of free-range chickens is to wear foot rings on each chicken to determine the number of chickens. The workload is cumbersome and the cost is high. It is not suitable for the breeding system of developing countries in the short term.
