Problems solved by technology

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to measure the weight of pigs efficiently and accurately without stress, overcome the shortcomings of large errors and complicated processes in the prior art, and further provide a livestock weight estimation device and method combined with a tracking system and a scale. The weighing scales in the sub-regions of the pen and the tracking information provided by the sensor above the pigsty establish a known information equation group of each pig's weight. When the rank of the equation group meets the unique solution condition, the weight of each pig can be uniquely solved. , to achieve accurate weight detection of pigs without stress

Embodiment 1

[0035] A livestock weighing device combined with a tracking system and a scale, which includes the following modules:

[0036] (1) Tracking sensor module; this tracking sensor module can identify each pig and number it, and simultaneously track and output the position information of each pig in real time; wherein, the tracking sensor is installed directly above the center point of the pigsty, and the sensor height and The position can be adjusted according to the actual situation, covering all positions of the pigsty plane.

[0037] (2) Body weight measurement module: This module uses the ground scale to measure the weight of the pig, and measures the weight of the pig on the ground scale. Among them, the load-bearing support point installed in the special position of the pigsty, the slatted plate, the front of the trough, the front of the water tank, etc., the area of ​​the weighbridge is at least larger than the area of ​​an adult pig, and the pigsty should contain at least ...

Embodiment 2

[0041] A livestock weight estimation method combining a tracking system and a scale, comprising the following steps:

[0042] Step 1. Obtain the weight information of the pig.

[0043] (1) Identify the location information of pigs: the tracking sensor can identify each pig, and track and output the location information of each pig in real time. There can be only one, two or more partition scales, and they can be placed in special areas, such as troughs In front of the drinking trough, etc., but the area must be at least larger than the area of ​​an adult pig to facilitate measurement.

[0044] Wherein, in the present embodiment, two partition scales are used, on the left and right sides of the pigsty.

[0045] (2) Obtain the total weight of the pigs on the floor scales in each area: use the floor scales on the left and right sides of the pigsty to measure the total weight of the pigs in each area, and wait until the pigs stop moving on the floor scales or the movement range i...

Abstract

The invention provides a livestock weight estimation device and method combining a tracking system and a platform scale. The device comprises a tracking sensor module, a weight measurement module, a data transmission module and a data processing module. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) identifying pig position information and obtaining pig weight information on the platform scale; (2) transmitting the measured pig position information and pig weight information to a computer; (3) establishing a known information equation set of pig weight, and uniquely solving the weight of each pig, and under the condition that the obtained information equation set cannot reach the solvable condition, repeating the steps (1) and (2), and obtaining measurement equations of different pig weight combinations again until the equation set formed by all the equations reaches the solvable condition. The device and method of the invention can realize stress-free measurement of the pig weight, are accurate in measurement and high in applicability, can remotely monitor the weight change of the pigs, and save time and labor.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of computer technology applied to animal husbandry production, and in particular relates to an animal husbandry weighing device and method combined with a tracking system and a scale. Background technique [0002] In the animal husbandry production process of pigs, it is necessary to measure the weight of pigs in different growth stages and different feeding management methods in a timely and accurate manner, so as to accurately grasp the growth of pigs, improve animal husbandry production efficiency, and save production costs. [0003] Stress is an important factor affecting livestock production. Traditional driving and contact weight measurement will bring severe stress to the pig herd, and it will consume time and labor and increase production costs. For the weight measurement of the pigs in the group breeding pen, the weighing method usually adopted is: a kind of ground scale is placed in the group breed...
