Animal physiological index detection system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an animal physiological index detection system and method and belongs to the technical field of animal physiological index detection. The system comprises a weighing unit; an animal detection structure is arranged on a weighing tray; the animal detection structure comprises an animal detection passage, an auto-door 1 is arranged at the back end of the animal detection passage while an auto-door 2 is arranged at the front end of the animal detection passage; a thermal infrared imaging sensor is arranged on a right guard; an ultrasonic sensor 1 is arranged at the back endof the right guard and used for detecting whether animals enter the animal detection passage or not and the distance between the ultrasonic sensor 1 to the animals; an ultrasonic sensor 2 is arrangedat the front end of a left guard. The detection method includes the steps of a, assigning an initial state to the system; b, detecting closing trigger signals of the auto-doors; c, acquiring information of the sensors; d, acquiring weight of animals; e, after finishing the step c, triggering to generate an opening signal of the auto-door 2; and f, detecting an opening trigger signal of the auto-door 1. The system and method has the advantages of high safety, high reliability, high automation level and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal physiological index detection. Background technique [0002] In the field of animal husbandry, the weight, body size and body temperature of animals are the three most important physiological indicators, which can reflect their growth and nutritional status. Through the monitoring of body weight and body size, breeders can make reasonable and dynamic adjustments to the feeding plan, and at the same time formulate different feeding and management plans according to different individual animals to achieve precise feeding; through monitoring body temperature, breeders It can judge the health status of animals and specific physiological states such as estrus and childbirth. [0003] At present, there are mainly two methods for measuring physiological indicators such as animal weight, body size and body temperature: manual measurement and automatic measurement. The manual measurement method refers to ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although this method can realize automatic measurement, there are certain technical difficulties. First, there are relatively many related devices and methods for automatic measurement of body weight, but there are relatively few systems that can measure body weight, body size and body temperature at the same time.

Secondly, most of the automatic measuring devices need to fix the animal's body, such as clamping and other operations, these contact operations are likely to cause certain damage and influence on the animal's body and psychology

[0004] To sum up, the existing methods for measuring animal physiological indicators inevitably require contact with animals, which poses potential risks to the physical and mental health of animals.
