Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of livestock and poultry management, and in particular to a livestock and poultry health status detection and early warning system. Background Art

[0002] Poultry farming includes two types of farming: caged and non-cage. Among non-cage livestock, especially non-cage white-feathered broilers, the amount of activity of broilers during their growth process is increased, which improves the final health of the chicken and is used by many fast food chains.

[0003] Usually, different breeds of poultry and livestock have different requirements for their activity levels. For example, white-feathered broilers usually require more than a thousand steps of exercise per day. The current amount of exercise of the broilers can be recorded by tying a pedometer on the chicken's feet. When the number of steps is insufficient, a prompt or alarm will be issued, and the broilers can be driven away manually to ensure that the poultry and livestock reach sufficient amount of exercise to maintain their health.

[0004] The problem is that the current management of the health status of poultry and livestock is carried out by controlling the number of steps per day, but the lack of accuracy in manual driving can easily cause poultry and livestock that have met the exercise standards to over-exercise, thereby increasing feed consumption and reducing the feed-to-meat ratio. In view of this, the present invention proposes a livestock and poultry health status detection and early warning system to solve the problem of insufficient accuracy in human management of livestock and poultry exercise. Summary of the invention

[0009] A positioning monitoring module, an analysis module and an early warning management module, wherein the positioning monitoring module is used to obtain the positioning data and step counting data of each poultry and livestock and upload the positioning data and step counting data to the analysis module and the early warning management module;

[0010] The analysis module performs motion analysis on the current livestock and poultry based on the acquired step counting data to obtain analysis results;

[0011] The early warning management module includes a feeding management unit and an early warning unit. The feeding management unit generates a feeding plan based on the analysis results and positioning data to increase the exercise of some poultry and livestock. The early warning unit obtains the health coefficient based on the pedometer data after using the feeding plan and determines whether to issue an early warning message based on the health coefficient.

[0012] Through the above technical solution: it provides a method for managing the feeding process through step counting data and positioning data, thereby increasing the exercise process of some livestock and poultry that do not exercise enough. Specifically, the present invention analyzes the current movement status of livestock and poultry through motion analysis, generates customized feeding plans based on the movement status, thereby adapting to different breeding groups, and monitors the health status based on the movement status of livestock and poultry after feeding management, which can promote timely discovery of livestock and poultry health problems.

[0013] As a further technical solution of the present invention: the process of performing motion analysis to obtain analysis results includes:

[0014] The step counting data is divided into several partitions according to whether it is in the feeding time, and the partitions include the feeding interval and the non-feeding interval;

[0015] For each partition, a standard fitting curve of the number of steps and time is constructed through historical data, and the predicted value is obtained by comparing it with the actual curve, and then the motion coefficient is generated by the predicted value and the benchmark value;

[0016] The exercise coefficient is used to determine whether the amount of exercise of poultry and livestock in the non-feeding range meets the standard.

[0023] Through the above technical solution: a process for judging whether the livestock exercise is up to standard is provided. Specifically, the present invention first obtains the motion coefficient through the actual number of steps and the actual function curve of the actual number of exercise steps and time, and then judges whether the amount of exercise is up to standard based on the motion coefficient. Compared with the single consideration of the actual number of exercise steps, the exercise habits of the livestock are taken into comprehensive consideration, and it is possible to distinguish between the cases where the amount of exercise is slightly exceeded and slightly insufficient, and these two states are judged as meeting the exercise standard, thereby avoiding misjudgment and improving the fault tolerance range of judgment.
