Description

The health of pigs is directly related to social and economic interests and food safety; the pigs' body size, weight, body temperature, behavior and other physiological growth indicators are important indicators reflecting the individual physiological state and health status of pigs. Monitoring the above indicators and promptly issuing warnings for abnormal situations is a top priority for the pig breeding industry.

[0003] According to the time dimension-based abnormal behavior monitoring method for pigs mentioned in the invention patent with Chinese patent application number 202410818638.X, the time dimension-based abnormal behavior monitoring method for pigs can reduce the cost of manpower monitoring of abnormal behavior of pigs and improve breeding quality when used. However, the time dimension-based abnormal behavior monitoring method for pigs classifies and monitors each pig when used to avoid data overlap. This monitoring method is prone to the problem that when a single pig in a group of pigs has health abnormalities, it is not easy to be monitored in time and it is easy to spread to an entire group of pigs. It is impossible to visualize the data management of the health of the pigs, making it impossible to reasonably arrange monitoring resources and improve monitoring efficiency.
