[0056] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an electronic ear tag monitoring system for livestock. Detailed Implementation

[0057] To make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the invention. However, the invention may also be practiced in other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0059] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single embodiment or an embodiment selectively excluded from other embodiments.

[0060] Example 1

[0061] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a method for monitoring livestock using electronic ear tags. The method for monitoring livestock using electronic ear tags includes...

[0062] S1. The electronic ear tag is installed on the animal's ear for unique identification, and the data sampling frequency is automatically adjusted according to the animal's activity intensity for data collection;

[0063] Specifically, attaching electronic ear tags to an animal's ear for unique identification involves selecting an electronic ear tag that includes multiple sensors and GPS positioning functions, and embedding a unique electronic ID in the ear tag. This electronic ID is then linked to the animal's detailed information in the management system, allowing for real-time monitoring of the animal's physiological indicators.

[0064] Multiple sensors, including body temperature sensors, heart rate sensors, three-axis accelerometers, and gyroscopes, are used to attach electronic ear tags containing various sensors and GPS positioning functions to the animals' ears, enabling unique identification of each animal. The unique electronic ID embedded in the ear tag not only simplifies the animal identification process but also allows for real-time monitoring and accurate recording of each animal's health and location information. By binding these unique electronic IDs with the animal's detailed information in the livestock management system, animal management becomes more systematic and automated, improving the efficiency of animal monitoring, reducing the risk of data confusion and misidentification, and thus enhancing the overall management quality and response speed of the livestock business.

[0065] Furthermore, data collection includes automatically adjusting the data sampling frequency based on the intensity of animal activity.

[0066] The animal's movement was monitored in real time using a triaxial accelerometer in the ear tag, and the animal's activity intensity I was calculated.

[0067]

[0068] In the formula, T is the length of the sampling window, k is a constant, and a x (t), a y (t), a z (t) is the acceleration of the animal along the x, y, z axes at time t;

[0069] Calculate the moving average θ and standard deviation δ of the activity intensity:

[0070]

[0071] In the formula, m is the number of sampling points within the time window, and I v This represents the animal activity intensity at the v-th sampling point;

[0072] Adjust the data sampling frequency f based on θ and δ:

[0073]

[0074] In the formula, f min and f max These are the minimum and maximum values ​​of the sampling frequency, respectively, and α is an adjustment coefficient calculated using a genetic algorithm.

[0075] Based on the current sampling frequency, sensors in the electronic ear tag are used to periodically collect physiological data of the animals, and the collected data is stored in a central database.

[0076] Using a triaxial accelerometer in the ear tag to monitor animal movement in real time, the method of adjusting the data sampling frequency according to the intensity of animal activity allows the system to dynamically collect data as needed. By calculating the moving average and standard deviation of animal activity intensity and adjusting the data sampling frequency based on these calculations, the sampling frequency is increased when the animal is highly active to capture more health data, and decreased when the animal is at rest or less active to save resources. This not only optimizes the data collection process and reduces the cost of data storage and processing, but also ensures that high-quality data is obtained at critical moments, thereby improving the accuracy and timeliness of health monitoring.

[0077] S2. Extract features from the collected physiological indicator data and detect the animal's health status based on the extracted features;

[0078] Specifically, feature extraction from the collected physiological indicator data includes:

[0079] The collected data is cleaned, filtered, and standardized. The collected animal physiological index data are then classified according to the animal's electronic ID to form an animal dataset.

[0080] Heart rate features H(t) were extracted from animal datasets using an autoregressive moving average model.

[0081]

[0082] In the formula, o is a constant term, and φ i It is the autoregressive coefficient, θ j It is the moving average coefficient, φi and θ j The least squares method is used to determine ∈(t), where ∈(t) is the error term, p and q are the order of the model, determined based on the autocorrelation function (ACF) and partial autocorrelation function (PACF) of the data, l and j represent indices, and t is time.

[0083] Extracting body temperature features C from animal datasets:

[0084] C=∫e -2πwbt T(t)dt

[0085] In the formula, T(t) is the body temperature value at time t, b is the frequency variable used to analyze the periodic components of body temperature changes, and w is the complex unit.

[0086] Extracting activity intensity feature A from the animal dataset:

[0087] A = [μ A ,σ A ,S A ]

[0088] In the formula, μ A It is the average value of the activity intensity, σ A It is the standard deviation, S A It is the entropy based on the distribution of activity intensity;

[0089] The S A The calculation formula is expressed as follows:

[0090]

[0091] In the formula, p(c) is the probability density function for estimating activity intensity, n is the total number of data points, and c is the number of numerical points in the activity intensity data. i A is a single data point, h is the bandwidth, and K is the kernel function. Kernel functions include linear kernel functions, polynomial kernel functions, and Gaussian kernel functions, etc. In this embodiment, the preferred kernel function is the Gaussian kernel function.

[0092] All extracted data features are fused to form a fused feature vector set Q:

[0093]

[0094] In the formula, Q is the final set of feature vectors after PCA processing.

[0095] The Autoregressive Moving Average (ARMA) model is a commonly used method in time series analysis to describe patterns of change in time series data. It involves cleaning, filtering, and standardizing the collected data, then classifying it according to the animal's electronic ID, enabling efficient data analysis. By utilizing advanced statistical and machine learning models, such as ARMA and kernel density estimation, features of physiological indicators like heart rate, body temperature, and activity intensity can be extracted. This allows for the accurate extraction of useful information from large amounts of physiological data. Effectively fusing these features to form a fused feature vector set can then be used to accurately assess the animal's health status. This not only enhances the depth and breadth of data analysis but also makes the obtained health assessment results more scientific and accurate, providing a reliable basis for subsequent health management and emergency measures.

[0096] Furthermore, detecting animal health status based on extracted features includes,

[0097] An animal health status detection model is constructed based on a random forest model. The number of trees is determined and the maximum depth of the trees is set. The minimum sample split and the minimum number of leaf nodes in the sample are also set.

[0098] The animal health status detection model was trained using training set data, and k-fold cross-validation was implemented to evaluate the model performance. The model parameters were then optimized based on the cross-validation results.

[0099] After training, the extracted data features Q are input into the animal health status detection model to obtain the animal health status detection results: "healthy", "mildly unwell", and "severely ill".

[0100] By constructing an animal health status detection model using a random forest model, key features were extracted from animal physiological data and applied to the prediction model. Through precise adjustment of model parameters, high data utilization and prediction accuracy were ensured. Training with training set data and implementing k-fold cross-validation not only optimized model performance but also significantly improved the model's generalization ability through a data-driven approach. Through refined data processing and machine learning techniques, the monitoring of animal health status became more accurate and timely, thereby achieving the beneficial effects of early diagnosis and treatment, and reducing the long-term impact of animal diseases and treatment costs.

[0101] S3. Implement response measures based on the test results and generate individual animal health reports, and store and back up the data;

[0102] Specifically, implementing response measures based on test results and generating individual animal health reports includes:

[0103] If the test result is healthy, continue to collect physiological data regularly through electronic ear tags;

[0104] If the test result indicates mild discomfort, a notification will be sent to the administrator's mobile device and email, the animal will be observed more frequently, and changes in relevant health indicators will be recorded.

[0105] If the test result indicates a serious illness, an emergency protocol will be automatically triggered, automatically sending detailed health alerts and the animal's location to designated veterinarians and caregivers for further examination and treatment based on the animal's specific symptoms.

[0106] Detailed individual animal health reports are generated based on the test results for each animal and the resulting emergency measures, and these health reports are sent to veterinarians and animal handlers via email.

[0107] By taking corresponding response measures based on animal health status test results, customized management for different health conditions is achieved, improving the timeliness of treatment. This differentiated response mechanism enables more efficient allocation of resources, ensures rapid response to animals in high-risk states, and reduces interference with healthy or mildly unwell animals. All measures and health status assessment results are compiled into individual health reports, which are sent to veterinarians and managers via email, providing detailed data and decision support, and enhancing the professionalism and efficiency of livestock management.

[0108] Furthermore, storing and backing up the data refers to classifying and storing the collected and processed physiological indicator data, extracted data features, test results, emergency measures, and individual animal health reports into a central database, backing up the data, and controlling access to the data.

[0109] By classifying and storing all key data, including physiological indicators, extracted data features, test results, emergency measures, and individual health reports, in a central database and implementing backup and access control, the security and integrity of the data are ensured. This systematic data management strategy not only improves the reliability and security of the data but also facilitates historical data analysis and trend prediction, providing a scientific basis for the formulation of future health management strategies.
