DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In the field of animal husbandry and veterinary medicine, the collection of fecal samples is an important part of disease diagnosis, health monitoring and scientific research. Accurate and convenient fecal samplers can not only improve work efficiency, but also ensure the quality and reliability of samples.

[0028] Importance of Fecal Samplers Fecal samples are of great significance in veterinary diagnosis and are mainly used in the following aspects: 1. Disease diagnosis: By analyzing pathogens, parasite eggs, bacteria and viruses in feces, it is possible to diagnose whether an animal has a specific disease. 2. Health monitoring: Regularly collect fecal samples to monitor the health of the animal's digestive system and prevent the occurrence of diseases. 3. Scientific research: Fecal samples are important materials for studying animal nutrition, intestinal microbial communities and environmental impacts. 4. Drug residue detection: By analyzing drug residues in feces, the effectiveness and safety of drug use can be evaluated.

[0029] Common types of stool samplers: The manual sampler is the most basic stool sampling tool, usually composed of a handle, a sampling head and a collection container. The operator controls the sampling head into the stool through the handle, and then transfers the sample to the collection container. The advantages of the manual sampler are simple structure and low cost, but the operation process is cumbersome and easily affected by human factors. Structural features: Handle: used for holding and operation, generally made of plastic or metal. Sampling head: usually spoon-shaped or needle-shaped, used to collect stool samples. Collection container: used to store samples, generally disposable plastic tubes or bottles. Common disposable samplers include plastic sampling rods and sampling bags. Structural features: Plastic sampling rod: made of sterile plastic, with a sampling head at one end and a handle at the other end. After sampling, transfer the sample to the collection container. Sampling bag: a sterile plastic bag with an open end and a closed end. Put the feces into the bag during sampling and send it for inspection after sealing.

[0030] Key technologies and development trends: 1. Material science The material selection of the sampler is crucial to its performance and reliability. Commonly used materials include plastics, metals and composite materials. In recent years, the application of new biodegradable materials and antibacterial materials has made the sampler more environmentally friendly and safe. Biodegradable materials: such as polylactic acid (PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL), can be degraded in the natural environment to reduce environmental pollution. Antibacterial materials: such as silver ions and nanosilver, have excellent antibacterial properties to prevent sample contamination. 2. Microelectromechanical system (MEMS) The application of microelectromechanical system (MEMS) technology in fecal samplers makes the sampler more miniaturized and precise. MEMS technology can realize the integration of microsensors, actuators and controllers to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of the sampler. Microsensors: used to detect the physical and chemical properties of feces, such as temperature, humidity, pH value, etc. Microactuators: used to control the movement of the sampling head to achieve accurate sampling. Microcontrollers: used to process sensor data and control the sampling process. 4. Multifunctional integration Multifunctional integration is one of the development trends of fecal samplers in the future. By integrating multiple functions, the sampler can achieve multiple uses and improve its efficiency. Common multi-functional integrations include sample pretreatment, sample preservation, and sample analysis. Sample pretreatment: By integrating filters, centrifuges and other equipment, the collected stool samples are pretreated to improve sample quality. Sample preservation: By integrating cooling devices, desiccants and other equipment, the sample storage time is extended to ensure sample stability. Sample analysis: By integrating microscopes, chromatographs and other equipment, the collected stool samples are analyzed on-site to improve the speed of diagnosis.

[0031] Case Analysis 1. Application of automatic samplers in large-scale farms: A large-scale farm introduced an automatic feces sampler system, including an electric sampler and a pneumatic sampler. This system can realize automatic sampling, which greatly improves the sampling efficiency. Through wireless communication technology, the sampling data can be transmitted to the central control system in real time, which is convenient for managers to conduct data analysis and decision-making. After a period of use, the disease diagnosis rate and health management effect of the farm have been significantly improved. 2. Application of disposable samplers for clinical diagnosis: A veterinary clinic uses disposable feces samplers, including plastic sampling sticks and sampling bags. These samplers are sterile and convenient, avoiding cross contamination and improving the reliability of samples. Through connection with mobile devices, sampling data can be transmitted to the laboratory in real time, which speeds up the diagnosis. Patient satisfaction and the diagnosis and treatment level of the clinic.
