Handheld wireless double-probe backfat instrument and system thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a handheld wireless double-probe backfat instrument and a system thereof. Double-probe design is adopted in the instrument and is more convenient in use compared with single-probe design, testing times of pig measurement are decreased, only two times of measurement are needed for one pig originally, and only one time of measure is needed at present; the positions of probesare relatively fixed, only the spine of each pig needs to be found accurately in measurement, the distance from the spine of each pig to a measurement point does not needed to be measured again, and measurement is facilitated. The specific cause is that at present, a single probe is adopted for detection, two times of detection are needed, the first time is finding from the position of the spine of each pig to a measurement point, and the second time is backfat measurement; while, the handheld wireless double-probe backfat instrument adopts two probes for simultaneous measurement, and due to the fact that the separating distance of the axes of the two probes arranged on the arc-shaped end face is 130 mm, and the distances from the axes of the left and right probes to a central arc are equal. The two ultrasonic probes are respectively located on two sides of the probe, and the arc lengths from the axes of the probes are 65 mm.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of breeding, and relates to a hand-held wireless double-probe backfat meter and a system thereof. Background technique [0002] At present, the reproductive performance of sows is one of the important indicators to measure the economic benefits of pig production. Problems such as the body condition of gilts for mating, and the high elimination rate of sows in the first litter due to lack of estrus after delivery have always plagued the normal production of industrial pig farms. The nutritional status at mating and weaning has a direct impact on the reproductive performance and reproductive life of sows. Therefore, the research on the nutritional status of sows at different physiological stages has become the key to solving the above problems. Because backfat thickness is easy to measure, it is often used as an important indicator to reflect the nutritional status of pigs. [0003] The measurement of backfat can also...

Problems solved by technology

The body condition of the gilts for mating, the high rate of culling of the first parity sows after delivery due to lack of estrus, etc. have always plagued the normal production of industrialized pig farms

[0005] At present, the backfat tester uses a probe to test pigs. Backfat testing often needs to test both sides of the pig’s spine, and both sides need to be measured, and the backfat test of pigs needs to test the fat thickness at the outer 65mm of the spine, so the spine needs to be measured. It is relatively troublesome to measure the length of the outer side in actual use
