AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing group feeding system for pregnant sows has not performed well in China. The main reasons include the high educational requirements for users, heavy reliance on after-sales service, troublesome pig training, insufficient feeding time due to large herds, high equipment modification costs, and inconvenience in parameter adjustment.

Method used

By acquiring information about each sow and its feed intake, a precise feeding strategy is generated. Using a card reader to read ear tag information, combined with feed scales and sensor monitoring, the feed amount is controlled, enabling precise feeding of each sow and simplifying the operation process.

Benefits of technology

It enables precise feeding of sows, simplifies the operation process, reduces the technical requirements for operators, reduces equipment modification costs, improves feeding efficiency, and reduces abortion and weak piglets.

Abstract

This invention discloses a method and device for feeding sows. The method includes the steps of: acquiring information about the sows entering the feeding device and their feed intake to generate a feeding strategy; and determining the feed amount based on the feeding strategy. In this invention, by independently identifying information for each sow and generating a corresponding feeding strategy based on its pregnancy status and daily feed intake, the feeding strategy is effective for that specific time. This allows for the determination of the feed amount for the sows entering the feeding device, achieving precise feeding of the sows. The method is simple to operate, requires minimal skill from operators, and facilitates easy adjustment of the sows' body condition.
