Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of unique collection of poultry breeding data, and particularly to a plank road type duck breeding determination device, a determination system and a training method. Background Art

[0002] The feed conversion rate has always been the focus of livestock and poultry breeding work. Feed intake and body weight are the core indicators of the feed conversion rate. Currently, the devices for measuring poultry often have inaccurate data on feed intake and body weight because breeding poultry (breeding ducks) follow and enter the measurement institution, that is, multiple breeding poultry enter the measurement institution at the same time. As a result, the monitored feed conversion rate has no reference significance. At the same time, due to the protection of two blocking doors, namely the plank road door and the feeding door, each feeding data is uniquely exclusive. After a duck fails in the plank road competition, it can no longer approach the previous duck, avoiding the phenomenon of fur damage due to competing for food and fighting among ducks.

[0003] In addition, during the process of monitoring the feed conversion rate, it is usually monitored from young poultry to adult breeding poultry. At the beginning, the breeding poultry are afraid or difficult to accept the measurement institution, and it is difficult to collect data. If the breeding poultry are forced to enter the measurement institution, it is easy to cause stress reactions in the breeding poultry. By adopting the natural state and letting the breeding chickens adapt to the measurement station by themselves, the adaptation time of the breeding poultry to the measurement device is relatively long, increasing the time cost and labor cost of the breeding poultry measurement work. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a plank road type duck breeding determination device, a determination system and a training method, which can limit a single breeding duck to enter the measurement institution and enable the breeding duck to quickly adapt to the measurement device.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present invention provides a ramp plank road type duck breeding determination device, which includes a ramp plank road. The entrance of the measurement station is connected to the exit of the ramp plank road, and the exit of the measurement station is connected to the ramp-shaped slideway exit; the ramp plank road is adjacent to the slideway exit. When the breeding duck enters the measurement station through the ramp plank road, it may fall out of the ramp plank road and enter the slideway exit during the competition to enter.

[0007] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a duck breeding determination system, which includes one or several of the above-mentioned plank road type duck breeding determination devices as the feeding area, the drinking area, the fence and the intelligent management platform;

[0008] The plank road type duck breeding determination devices and one-way access doors with opposite conduction directions are arranged on the fence separating the feeding area and the drinking area, serving as a reciprocating one-way passage between the feeding area and the drinking and resting area; <l

[0009] The slope plank road type breeding duck measuring equipment uploads the collected electronic tag numbers, weight data and corresponding feed intake of the breeding ducks to the intelligent management platform through the data bus.

[0010] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a breeding duck measurement training method, which includes the following steps:

[0011] The breeding duck measuring equipment in the feeding area only replenishes the feed when it is low on feed, and does not close the door;

[0012] The access doors and / or width limiting and speed reducing accessories for controlling the duck measuring equipment are not installed, or are moved to a position that does not affect access;

[0013] A certain amount of feed is added from time to time on the slope to lure the breeding ducks into the testing station;

[0014] The breeding ducks found that the light-transmitting slide exit slid down the slide, and used the inertia of gravity to push open the one-way exit door and go out smoothly. After the ducks went out, the one-way door reset itself under the action of the spring and remained closed.

[0015] Another embodiment of the present invention provides a method for measuring and training a breeding duck, which comprises the following steps:

[0016] The RFID scanning module provided in the slope plank road type breeding duck measuring device scans the breeding ducks wearing electronic leg rings or electronic wing numbers, and the two tags are optional for the user;

[0017] Count the number of electronic tags of breeding ducks scanned every day, indicating that the number of breeding ducks enter the breeding duck measuring equipment to eat;

[0018] If the ratio of the number of ducks eating after entering the duck measurement equipment to the total number of ducks is less than the first threshold, the formal measurement time will be delayed by the preset number of days. At the same time, the placement of attractant feed should be increased to ensure that the ducks can eat the attractant feed on the way to the measurement station.

[0019] When the ratio of the number of monitored breeding ducks entering the breeding duck measuring equipment to eat and the total number of breeding ducks is greater than the second threshold, the formal measurement time begins.

[0020] The breeding duck measuring equipment of the present invention is designed to be adjacent to and communicate with the slide exit through a sloped plank road. Utilizing the physiological characteristics of breeding ducks that can climb stairs but cannot go up a certain height and sloped slide in a space with limited height and width, breeding ducks that fall from the sloped plank road into the slide exit during competition can only leave the measuring station through a one-way exit, thereby ensuring that only one breeding duck is allowed to enter the measuring station for feeding at a time, and limiting the occurrence of multiple breeding ducks entering the breeding duck measurement and feeding station. The breeding duck measurement system uses a one-way channel for the breeding duck measurement equipment to be set up on the path that the breeding ducks must pass through in the feeding area and the drinking and rest area, so that the breeding ducks can quickly adapt to the breeding duck measurement equipment and shorten the measurement training time. The measurement training method reduces the stress of the new environment for the breeding ducks being initially trained by reducing the number of entry and exit doors and limiting obstacles, and by setting a one-way channel on the path that the breeding ducks must pass through in the feeding area and the eating area, the breeding ducks can quickly adapt to the breeding duck measurement equipment. The measurement training method quickly finds the optimal time for measuring the breeding ducks by counting the number of breeding ducks that enter the breeding duck measurement equipment to feed.

[0031] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0032] Refer to Figures 1-3 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a plank road type breeding duck measurement device provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. The device includes a stair entrance 100, an entrance of a ramp plank road 200 connected to the upper part of the stair entrance. The exit of the ramp plank road is connected to the entrance of a measurement station 300. The exit of the measurement station is connected to a ramp-shaped slideway exit 400, and a one-way door 700 is arranged at the end of the slideway exit. The width of the adjustable-width ramp plank road door is adjusted to be close to the width that a single breeding duck can pass through; the ramp plank road is adjacent and communicated with the slideway exit, and the inclined line of the ramp plank road intersects with the inclined line of the ramp-shaped slideway exit. When multiple breeding ducks compete to pass through the ramp plank road and enter the measurement station, they can fall out of the ramp plank road and enter the slideway exit. By using the physiological characteristics that breeding ducks can go up stairs but cannot go up ramps, the breeding ducks that fall into the slideway exit can only slide out of the breeding duck measurement device naturally, thereby limiting a single breeding duck to enter the breeding duck measurement device. The uniqueness of the measured breeding data all stems from the fact that a single feeding event occurs each time a breeding duck enters the station uniquely.

[0033] A partial baffle 20' is arranged between the ramp plank road and the slideway exit, which can block the feed trough to prevent breeding ducks from flying obliquely through the slideway exit and entering the measurement and feeding area when passing through the ramp plank road, or staying here opportunistically.

[0034] [[ID=·18]]The exit of the ramp plank road is connected to the entrance of the measurement station. An electric feeding door 500 is arranged at the entrance of the measurement station to prevent the breeding ducks that enter the measurement station from turning around and going back the same way or blocking the following duck. A sliding through groove 510 and a motor-driven connecting rod 520 are arranged on the top wall of the breeding duck measurement device. The connecting piece at the top of the electric door passes through the sliding through groove 510 and is connected to the connecting rod. The connecting rod drives the electric door to slide in the sliding through groove to control the opening and closing of the feeding door. When the feeding door is in the closed state, a 50-mm door gap is arranged between the side of the electric door and the side wall of the breeding duck measurement device to prevent clamping the breeding duck when closing the door. A color indicator light is arranged on the side of the plank road door facing the entrance of the ramp plank road, or it is painted with a color indicator coating, or it is pasted with a color indicator sticker. After training, a conditioned reflex is established so that the breeding ducks know that the feeding door is closed and they cannot enter the measurement area to feed when they see the corresponding color.

[0035] The measuring station includes RFID horizontal and vertical two-way scanning antennas for identifying the electronic tags worn by breeding ducks. The horizontal scanning antenna is set on the other three sealed plates of the measuring station except on one side of the feeding trough, preferably on the sealed plate opposite to the feeding door. The vertical scanning antenna is set below or above the weighing scale. The electronic tag can be a wing tag or a leg ring. The two-way scanning antenna has looser requirements for the specifications of the electronic tags worn by breeding ducks, and provides two types of electronic tag identification methods for users to choose.

[0036] A feeding device 310 is arranged at one end close to the slideway exit, and a feeding trough 320 is arranged below the feeding device. The feeding trough is provided with a tunneling space and an angle guiding port that conform to the duck's pecking food. Sieve holes are arranged below the trough to filter out the powder that the duck cannot eat, and a movable drawer-type powder collection bin is provided to prevent excessive accumulation and mildew of the powder. A material weight sensor is arranged below the feeding trough; a weighing scale platform 330 is arranged on the ground close to the entrance of the measuring station, and a weight sensor is arranged below the weighing scale platform; when the breeding duck steps onto the weighing scale platform of the measuring station, the control system monitors the change of the weighing scale weight data through the weight sensor and controls the trigger signal to close the feeding door. A material weighing platform 330' is arranged on the ground close to the feeding trough 320 for weighing the feeding data of the breeding duck. During the process of the breeding duck entering the weighing scale platform to feed, the RFID horizontal and vertical two-way scanning antennas, and the vertical antenna continuously scan the electronic tag on the breeding duck to obtain the individual identity and individual dynamic weight information of the breeding duck. When it leaves the measuring area, if the RFID horizontal and vertical two-way scanning antennas cannot scan the electronic tag within the effective time and no weight signal is obtained, then this feeding event ends, and the measuring station enters the calculation time point for obtaining and settling the current feeding data. During this period, the measuring station remains in the closed state, and at the same time, the remaining feed in the current feeding trough is weighed and calculated. When the remaining feed is less than the minimum remaining feed set by the system, the feeding motor is started to replenish the feed according to the preset replenishment amount. After the replenishment is completed, the current feed weight is weighed as the starting feed weight for the next event. After the above operations are completed, the measuring station reopens the feeding door and waits for the start of the next event.

[0037] With the cooperation of the above additional exclusive mechanism, the weight sensor collected by the measuring station each time is used to collect the weight signal of a single breeding duck, and the material weight sensor is used to collect the feed intake of a single breeding duck. After the management system summarizes and processes the ratio of the feed intake and the corresponding weight gain of each breeding duck collected each time and every day, the feed conversion ratio of all individuals or groups during the measurement period for this batch of measurement tests is obtained.

[0038] Because the exit of the sloped plank road is connected to the entrance of the measuring station, and the feed trough is close to the exit of the slide, the breeding ducks have to turn 90 degrees when entering the measuring station. This turning design allows the breeding duck's body to block the possibility of the next duck entering, further limiting the entry of a single breeding duck into the breeding duck measuring equipment. The duck's 90-degree turn at the entrance of the measuring station will take up extra time, causing the door to close while the duck is still crossing the hurdle. During this extra time, the duck is still at the entrance of the measuring station and blocks the entrance of the measuring station, preventing the situation where the feeding door has not yet been closed and the next duck has entered the measuring station when the door is closed.

[0039] The cover plate on the side of the measuring equipment opposite the feeding door, the cover plate behind the feeding trough, the cover plate on the side opposite the feeding trough, and the cover plate on the top of the scale platform are all made of semi-transparent material to prevent the ducks from being afraid to enter the measuring area due to the darkness inside during training. The passageway at the exit of the measuring equipment is the brightest part of the entire measuring equipment, making it easier for ducks to follow the brightest direction, identify the exit, and slide down the chute at the exit.

[0040] The friction between the slide material at the slide exit and the duck's feet is small. As long as the duck steps on the slide, it can only slide down the slope of the slide under the action of inertia. When its body touches the two opposing one-way doors 7, the duck cannot stop and the micro-spring door is naturally pushed open, and the duck goes out from here. Because it is a one-way door, the duck can only enter from the stair entrance but not from the slide exit. The one-way door is semi-transparent, which is convenient for the duck to identify the exit. At the same time, the ducks outside can see the ducks eating at the measuring station through the gap in the door, which further lures the ducks into the station to feed.

[0041] In order to further prevent the following breeding ducks from entering the measuring station, a foldable and retractable enclosure is provided on the other side of the ramp plank road opposite to the slide exit. The foldable and retractable enclosure includes several enclosures whose sides are movably connected in sequence, preferably three enclosures. The first enclosure 201 is movably connected to the entrance close to the measuring station through a rotating shaft, hinges or articulated parts. The second enclosure 202 is parallel to the direction of passage of the ramp plank road. In this direction, the plane 204 where the preset cover plate of the measuring equipment close to the side of the ramp plank road is located is also parallel to the surface of the second enclosure. The third enclosure 203 is close to the entrance of the ramp plank road. The third enclosure is movably connected to the entrance close to the ramp plank road through a rotating shaft, hinges or articulated parts. The plane 204 forms a trapezoidal structure with the three enclosures. The second enclosure is located on the ramp plank road. By adjusting the length of the first enclosure or the second enclosure, the distance between the second enclosure 202 and the plane 204 is increased or decreased to adjust the width of the ramp plank road for the breeding ducks to pass through. See the attached figure. Figures 5-6. Driven by the second enclosure panel, the infrared sensor 206 provided on the first enclosure panel 201 changes its own position and the angle range for scanning the ramp plank road.

[0042] Since ducks grow and change greatly, and the age determination is carried out in advance. At this time, the duck individuals are small and relatively agile. Relying solely on the feeding door cannot enable them to queue up one by one to enter the determination station to achieve the uniqueness of feeding data. Therefore, a plank road door 205 is provided on the ramp plank road to implement double restrictions of the plank road door and the feeding door for a single breeding duck to enter the determination station.

[0043] See Figures 4-6 , one side of the plank road door 205 is rotatably installed on the second enclosure panel. Under the simultaneous cooperation of the folding and telescopic enclosure panel and the plank road door, the width of the ramp plank road is adjusted to only allow a single breeding duck to pass through. There are two implementation methods for the plank road door:

[0044] First, above the rotation connection point of the plank road door and the second enclosure panel. When the first breeding duck enters the scanning space of the infrared sensor 206, this duck has already passed through the plank road door, blocking the light and triggering the plank road door to close. The plank road door rotates clockwise and gradually moves away from the infrared sensor 206 for the closing action. Attached Figure 4 in which the plank road door 205 rotates clockwise until the ramp plank road is closed, as shown in the attached Figure 5 the closed state of the plank road door; thus blocking the entry of the next duck closely following it, and the duck passing through the plank road door continues to move upward into the determination station.

[0045] Second, below the rotation connection point of the plank road door and the second enclosure panel (not shown in the figure). When the first breeding duck enters the scanning space of the infrared sensor 206, the plank road door 205 rotates counterclockwise, that is, initially rotates forward to the right and gradually closes against the tail of the duck's body that has entered half of its body into the plank road door, and cooperates with the elastic light-shielding plate on the right side of the plank road to reserve an appropriate space to ensure closing. At this time, the plank road door is close to the folding and telescopic enclosure panel, and the opening of the plank road is adjusted to only allow one duck to enter. Open the plank road door and the feeding door, and the next feeding determination event enters the determination station, and so on in a cycle.

[0046] The breeding duck passing through the plank road door is scanned by the infrared sensor to generate a trigger signal, controlling the motor 207 to drive the plank road door to close through the connecting rod. This motor is arranged on the bottom surface of the top of the measuring device. The ramp plank road door opens and closes, controlling the opening and closing state of the ramp plank road.

[0047] See Figure 4 , when there is no breeding duck in the determination station, the electric door and the feeding door are both open, which is the open state after being processed as a feeding event or a supplementary feeding event. See Figure 5, when the body of the breeding duck passing through the gangway door except for the head or feet is detected by the infrared sensor and triggers the closing action of the gangway door, the next duck is not allowed to enter; when the breeding duck passing through the gangway door completely enters the weighing platform in the measuring station and the weight sensor under the weighing platform detects a change in data, a signal is triggered to close the feeding door, and at this time, the breeding duck is out of the scanning range of the infrared sensor. See Figure 4 , when the RFID horizontal and vertical two-way scanning module in the measuring station does not scan the electronic tag within the effective time, does not obtain the weight signal, and both the gangway door and the feeding door are in the closed state, it is determined that the breeding duck has left, and the weight, feed intake and remaining feed data in the feeding trough of the breeding duck for this feeding event are settled; when the remaining feed data in the feeding trough settled this time is less than the preset weight value, the feeding trough is replenished to the initial feed weight. After the above tasks are completed, the feeding door is opened first, and after the feeding door is fully opened, the gangway door is triggered to open, and the next feeding event is entered.

[0048] See Figures 7-9 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a gangway type breeding duck measuring device provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. The device includes a stair entrance 1, a ramp gangway 2 connected to the upper part of the stair entrance, a measuring part 3 connected to the other end of the ramp gangway, and a slide exit 4 with a slope connected to the other end of the measuring part; the width of the ramp gangway is less than the width for two breeding ducks to pass through and greater than the width for one breeding duck to pass through; the ramp gangway is adjacent to the slide exit, and the inclined line of the ramp gangway intersects with the inclined line of the slide exit with a slope. When the breeding duck passes through the ramp gangway and enters the measuring part, it can fall out of the ramp gangway and into the slide exit. Utilizing the physiological characteristics that the breeding duck can go up the stairs but not the slope, the breeding duck that falls into the slide exit can only leave the breeding duck measuring device, thereby limiting a single breeding duck to enter the breeding duck measuring device to measure the basic breeding data.

[0049] Partial baffles 20 are arranged between the ramp gangway and the slide exit, which can block the feeding trough to prevent the breeding duck from flying obliquely through the slide exit and entering the measuring area when passing through the ramp gangway.

[0050] Spring suspension rods are arranged at the top of the ramp gangway. One end of the spring suspension rod slides in a chute 21 arranged on the top support frame or roof plate, and the other end of the spring suspension rod is close to the ramp gangway and can slide in the width direction of the ramp gangway to adjust the space of the entrance for breeding ducks of different body sizes; the spring suspension rods divide the ramp gangway in the width direction of the ramp gangway, and the longitudinal space forms two parts of the entrance. When two ducks follow closely and enter the ramp gangway at the same time, the breeding duck near the slide exit side of the entrance will inevitably fall off the gangway and into the slide exit under the limitation of the gangway width, thereby further limiting a single breeding duck to enter the breeding duck measuring device to measure the basic breeding data.

[0051] The ramp gangway leading to the entrance of the measuring part rises slowly, which can slow down the passing speed of the breeding duck on the gangway and give time for two or more breeding ducks following closely at the same time to fall off the ramp gangway.

[0052] The exit of the ramp plank road is connected to the entrance of the measurement unit. An electric door 5 is provided at the entrance of the measurement unit. A sliding through groove 51 and a motor-driven connecting rod 52 are provided on the top wall of the breeding duck measurement device. The connecting member at the top of the electric door passes through the sliding through groove 51 and is connected to the connecting rod. The connecting rod drives the electric door to slide in the sliding through groove to control the opening and closing of the electric door. When the side of the electric door approaches the side wall of the breeding duck measurement device, the electric door is closed. At this time, the electric door is perpendicular to the side wall of the breeding duck measurement device. When the electric door is in the closed state, a 50-mm door gap is provided between the side of the electric door and the side wall of the breeding duck measurement device to prevent the breeding duck from being clamped when the door is closed. On the side of the electric door facing the ramp plank road, there is an indicator light of a certain color, or paint or sticker with color indication. After training, a conditioned reflex is established so that the breeding duck knows that the electric door is closed and it cannot enter the measurement area to feed when it sees the corresponding color.

[0053] The measurement unit includes a reader for identifying the electronic tag worn by the breeding duck, a feeding device 31 provided at one end close to the exit of the slide, a feed trough 32 provided below the feeding device, a weighing sensor provided below the feed trough, a weighing platform 33 close to the entrance of the measurement unit, and a weight sensor provided below the weighing platform; when the breeding duck steps onto the weighing platform of the measurement unit, the control system monitors the change in the weight data of the weighing platform through the weight sensor and controls the trigger signal to close the electric door; during the process of the breeding duck entering the weighing platform to feed, the reader continuously scans the electronic tag on the breeding duck to obtain the individual identity and individual dynamic weight information of the breeding duck. When it leaves the measurement area and the reader cannot scan the electronic tag within the effective time and no weight signal is obtained, the control system considers that this feeding event has ended, sets a state to keep the door closed and does not allow the next breeding duck to enter the measurement area. At the same time, the feeding data of this time is weighed and settled. And when feeding supplement is needed, that is, when the remaining feed in the feed trough is less than the minimum value set by the system, feeding supplement is carried out. After the feeding supplement is completed and the feed weight to be added for the feed weight settlement is added, the electric door is reopened.

[0054] The weight sensor is used to measure the change in the weight of a single breeding duck, and the weighing sensor is used to measure the feed intake of a single breeding duck. The feed conversion efficiency is obtained by the ratio of the feed consumption of a single poultry to the weight gain.

[0055] Since the ramp plank road is adjacent to the slide exit and the feeding trough is close to the slide exit, the breeding ducks have to turn 90 degrees when entering the measuring section. This turning design blocks the possibility of the next duck entering, further restricting single breeding ducks to enter the duck measuring device to measure the breeding basic data. There is also a hurdle 34 on the weighing platform or on the weighing platform near the entrance of the measuring section. The ducks' crossing of the hurdle and 90-degree turn will take extra time, causing the door to close while the ducks are still crossing the hurdle. During this extra time, the ducks are still inside the entrance of the measuring section and block the entrance of the measuring section, preventing the next duck from entering the measuring section during the time when the electric door has not closed and is conducive to closing the door.

[0056] After the breeding ducks cross the hurdle on the weighing platform, they continue to move forward. The length of the weighing platform is about 600 mm, which can meet the needs of general ducks from ducklings to finished ducks. There is a width-limiting board on its left side to prevent ducks from standing outside the weighing platform.

[0057] On the side of the ramp plank road opposite to its cantilever, a lure pipe 6 is arranged from the entrance of the ramp plank road all the way to the feeding trough or inside the measuring section. Bait is arranged inside the lure pipe to guide the ducks into the measuring section.

[0058] The sealing plates of the duck measuring device on the side opposite to the electric door, the sealing plate behind the feeding trough, the sealing plate on the side opposite to the feeding trough, and the sealing plate on the top of the weighing platform all adopt semi-transparent materials to prevent the situation that the breeding ducks are afraid to enter the measuring area because it is too dark inside when training to enter the duck measuring device. The passage of the slide exit is the place with the strongest light in the whole duck measuring device, which is convenient for the ducks to follow the brightest direction to identify and find the exit and slide down from the slide board of the slide exit calmly.

[0059] The friction between the slide board material of the slide exit and the duck's foot is small. As long as the breeding duck steps on the slide board, under the action of inertia, the breeding duck can only slide down along the sloping slide board. When its body touches the two double-opening one-way doors 7, the doors will open naturally, and the breeding duck can go out from here to the outside. Since it is a one-way door, the breeding duck can only enter from the stair entrance and cannot enter from the slide exit. The one-way door is semi-transparent, which is convenient for the breeding duck to identify the exit.

[0060] See Figure 10 , which is a schematic structural diagram of a duck measuring system provided by Embodiment 3 of the present invention. This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1 or 2. The system includes one or several of the above-mentioned duck measuring devices A as the feeding area, the drinking and resting area, and uses the additionally provided duck measuring device A and the one-way access door B as the reciprocating one-way channel between the feeding area and the drinking and resting area, as well as the intelligent management platform.

[0061] The duck house is physically divided into a feeding area and a drinking and resting area by a fence or other enclosure structure. The duck measuring device and a one-way access door are arranged on the dividing fence 8. Since the duck measuring device itself is also a one-way passage, and its conduction direction is opposite to that of the one-way access door, it is convenient for the breeding ducks to move back and forth between the drinking and resting area and the feeding area. The duck measuring device uploads the electronic tag number, body weight data and feed usage data of the breeding ducks it collects to the intelligent management platform.

[0062] Setting the duck measuring device on the dividing fence will not provide feed. Optionally, the weighing platform can weigh the body weight or stop weighing the body weight. In the embodiment of the present invention, by using the living habits of the breeding ducks, the breeding ducks are forced to pass through the duck measuring device on the dividing fence when going back and forth between the feeding area and the drinking area, so that the breeding ducks can quickly adapt to the duck measuring device.

[0063] A method for training duck measurement provided in Embodiment 4 of the present invention. This embodiment is based on Embodiment 3, and the method includes the following steps:

[0064] The duck measuring device in the feeding area only replenishes feed when there is a lack of feed and does not perform the door closing operation.

[0065] Control the feeding door of the duck measuring device and / or the spring boom or the plank road door for width limitation and deceleration not to be installed, or move them to a position that does not affect entry and exit.

[0066] Add a certain amount of feed to the induction pipe or the ramp plank road from time to time to lure the breeding ducks into the measurement station.

[0067] The breeding ducks find the slideway exit and slide down from the slideway;

[0068] Turn on the faucet to make the sound of running water to attract the ducks to enter the drinking area through the duck measuring device on the dividing fence;

[0069] Return to the feeding area through the one-way access door.

[0070] Since when performing the uniqueness measurement of the data of the breeding ducks, the breeding ducks that are not adapted to the strange measuring device can only be measured after training. In the duck measurement training method of this embodiment, by pre-luring food to perceive the environment, the stress of the initially trained breeding ducks entering the measuring device can be reduced, and the training adaptation time can be shortened, so that the breeding ducks can enter the measurement station as soon as possible and effective measurement data can be collected.

[0071] A method for training duck measurement provided in Embodiment 5 of the present invention. This embodiment is based on Embodiment 3, and the method includes the following steps:

[0072] Scan the breeding ducks wearing electronic tags through the RFID scanning module of the duck measuring device;

[0073] Count the number of electronic tags of breeding ducks scanned every day, indicating that the breeding ducks of this quantity enter the breeding duck measurement equipment to eat;

[0074] The intelligent management platform monitors that the ratio of the number of breeding ducks entering the breeding duck measurement equipment to eat to the total number of breeding ducks is less than the first threshold of 85%. The official measurement time should be delayed by a preset number of days to allow more breeding ducks to adapt to the eating environment of the breeding duck measurement equipment; at the same time, the feeding of attracting feed should be strengthened to ensure that the ducks can eat the attracting feed on the aisle when entering the measurement station.

[0075] The intelligent management platform monitors that the ratio of the number of breeding ducks entering the breeding duck measurement equipment to eat to the total number of breeding ducks is greater than the second threshold of 99%, and the official measurement time starts.

[0076] Observe the preset number of days for 1% of the breeding ducks, and eliminate the breeding ducks that still cannot adapt to the breeding duck measurement equipment.

[0077] Since when performing data uniqueness measurement on breeding ducks, the breeding ducks that are not adapted to the unfamiliar measurement equipment need to be trained before measurement. In order to ensure the unity of the measurement data, the breeding duck measurement training method in this embodiment helps the breeding measurement personnel to find the best time for breeding duck measurement more quickly.

[0078] The above is the preferred implementation manner of the present invention. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art of this technology, without departing from the principle of the present invention, several improvements and retouches can still be made, and these improvements and retouches are also regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
