Robot and method for unmanned collection of animal saliva sample in livestock farm

Abstract

The invention discloses a robot and a method for unmanned collection of animal saliva samples in a farm. Comprising a structural bracket, a power system, an execution system, a sample storage system and a control system, the power system is installed on the structural support and used for driving the structural support to move horizontally. The execution system is mounted on the structural bracket and is used for grabbing and moving the collection bags in the sample storage system; one part of the sample storage system is mounted on the structural bracket, and the other part of the sample storage system is mounted on the execution system and is used for collecting an animal saliva sample into a collection bag and storing the animal saliva sample; and the control system is electrically connected with the power system and the execution system to control work. According to the invention, the unmanned quarantine process of the centralized livestock farm during epidemic period of epidemic diseases is realized, the quarantine time is greatly shortened, the complexity of the quarantine process, the disinfection difficulty and the sample pollution possibility are reduced, and the acquisition process is remotely monitored through wireless data transmission, so that management personnel can make a response in time.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an unmanned collection robot in the field of animal husbandry quarantine, in particular to a robot and a method for unmanned collection of animal saliva samples in farms. Background technique [0002] As the world's largest pork producer and consumer, my country's pork production has long accounted for more than 60% of the total meat production, ranking first in the world, and the country's annual pig production is more than half of the world's (about 700 million head in 2015-2018). ). In recent years, epidemic swine diseases such as swine fever, PRRS, swine ring disease, etc., have had a huge impact on the pig industry. Take African swine fever (ASF) as an example, which is an acute, severe and highly contagious infectious disease caused by African swine fever virus infecting domestic pigs and various wild boars. Once infected, the mortality rate is high. As high as 100%, it is one of the most serious epidemic diseases. [0...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] In summary, although the existing detection methods for epidemic diseases can achieve the purpose of detection, they often use manual blood collection for invasive detection, which requires high requirements for operators.
