Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of animal breeding, and in particular to a temperature measurement method based on live breeding. Background Art

[0002] Body temperature is an important physiological indicator for all animals. Taking pigs as an example, maintaining a constant body temperature is a necessary condition to ensure the normal metabolism and life activities. Abnormal body temperature is an important manifestation of physiological dysfunction in pigs. In pig farming, diseases accompanied by fever symptoms account for a large proportion, such as swine fever, swine influenza, swine plague, streptococcal disease, toxoplasmosis, contagious pleuropneumonia, pseudorabies, and Haemophilus parasuis. When pigs are infected with diseases, the increase in body temperature often appears earlier than other symptoms. Therefore, body temperature monitoring is one of the indispensable bases for diagnosing pig diseases. Online monitoring of pig body temperature and timely early warning are necessary ways to avoid economic losses in the pig industry and improve production efficiency.

[0003] At present, most of the temperature measurement methods used on the market are rectal temperature measurement and handheld infrared thermometer. Both of these temperature measurement methods have many problems. When using the rectal temperature measurement method, the breeder needs to insert the thermometer into the pig's anus and rectum, which is cumbersome. The thermometer cannot stay in the pig's anus and rectum for a long time, so real-time pig temperature monitoring cannot be achieved. The thermometer may break in the pig's anus and rectum, causing damage to the pig, posing a safety hazard, and this method is difficult to use in large-scale farms. When using the handheld infrared thermometer method, in order to ensure data accuracy, the operator must maintain a sufficiently short safety distance when holding the thermometer. When the pigs are angry, they are easily attacked by the pigs. The non-cooperation of the pigs leads to low efficiency, and it is easy to cause missed inspections and re-inspections. The poor farm environment is easy to contaminate the lens of the thermometer, affecting the work of the thermometer.

[0004] In order to avoid these problems, a Chinese patent discloses an animal temperature measurement ear tag, a temperature measurement method and a system (publication number CN110839552A). The patent technology arranges an integrated circuit module with a wireless communication function and a plurality of temperature sensors (a first temperature sensor and a second temperature sensor) in the ear tag body. The plurality of temperature sensors can respectively obtain the temperature measurement data of the animal, so as to correct and report the temperature measurement data, etc., which is conducive to obtaining accurate and stable temperature measurement data of the animal; however, it is mentioned in its specification that when this method is adopted, the first temperature sensor and / or the second temperature sensor are arranged in the hollow part of the ear tag post, and the ear tag post is closely fitted with the pig's ear, which is conducive to the first temperature sensor and / or the second temperature sensor accurately and stably collecting the actual temperature data of the animal, but in this way, the temperature of the pig's ear is transmitted to the ear tag post, and the temperature sensor is installed in the hollow part of the ear tag post, and the temperature is indirectly transmitted to the temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor cannot be directly in close contact with the pig's ear, thereby causing the temperature sensor to be unable to directly measure the temperature, so this method cannot ensure that the measured temperature is accurate at all times, and also has obvious defects. Therefore, those skilled in the art provide a temperature measurement method based on live breeding to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Summary of the invention
