Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention mainly relates to the technical field of breeding weighing, and specifically relates to an automatic weighing system and a weighing method for sheep breeding. Background Art

[0002] Mutton is tender and delicious, with low cholesterol and fat content, rich in vitamins B1, B2, B6, iron, zinc and selenium, and high in nutritional value. In recent years, my country's animal husbandry, especially sheep farming, has continued to develop and reached a certain scale. With the further development and expansion of the scale, highly automated breeding equipment and management systems have become a general trend.

[0003] The weight information of sheep has always been an important parameter reflecting their physical health. Therefore, daily weight testing can help understand their health status, adjust feeding plans, and achieve scientific feeding. Traditionally, sheep weighing is generally performed manually. Specifically, a sheep needs to be restrained by several people at a time to prevent it from moving before it can be weighed. This method is not only inefficient, but also during the restraint process, the sheep will struggle with all their strength, increasing the physical exertion of the workers, wasting manpower, making the weighing work unable to continue, and causing stress reactions in the sheep, which will affect the sheep's physical health and the breeding effect of the sheep.
