[0002] The fundamental purpose of raising female even-toed ungulates at present is to provide animal protein for humans by breeding offspring. Each adult female even-toed ungulate has its own estrus cycle. During the estrus cycle, its estrus can be detected through various traits and bred in time, which can be used as an important key node to improve the breeding efficiency of female even-toed ungulates and reduce waste. At present, whether an animal is in estrus is determined by experienced breeders through manual on-site observation or by real-time viewing of monitor content. However, relying solely on manual observation of animals to identify their status has a high error rate.

[0003] Therefore, how to provide an accurate technical solution for animal estrus monitoring has become a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the invention

[0025] The technical solutions in some embodiments of the present application will be described below in conjunction with the drawings in some embodiments of the present application.

[0026] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters represent similar items in the following drawings, so once an item is defined in one drawing, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent drawings. At the same time, in the description of this application, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used to distinguish the description and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0027] In the related art, in order to improve the breeding efficiency of female even-toed ungulates, it is usually determined whether the animal is in estrus through artificial vision and machine vision. However, this determination method is highly dependent on manual labor, has high labor costs, and different people have different experiences. The error rate of relying solely on manual observation of the animal's state to determine whether it is in estrus is very high.

[0028] In view of this, some embodiments of the present application provide a system for monitoring animal estrus, which is composed of an identity body temperature detection module, an identity body temperature receiving module, an estrus monitoring module, a cloud server and a terminal. After receiving the body temperature information of the animal, the estrus monitoring module can analyze it and determine the estrus result of the animal. And transmit it back to the cloud server and the terminal device. Some embodiments of the present application can automatically monitor whether the animal is in estrus without human participation, and the accuracy of the monitoring results is relatively high. The animals mentioned in this application can be hoofed animals such as pigs, sheep, and cattle.

[0029] The following is combined with Figure 1 The overall composition structure of the animal estrus monitoring system provided by some embodiments of the present application is exemplified.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, some embodiments of the present application provide a system for animal estrus monitoring, which may include: an identity temperature sensor 110 (as a specific example of an identity temperature sensing module), an identity temperature receiver 120 (as a specific example of an identity temperature receiving module), an estrus monitoring module 130, a cloud server 140, and a terminal 150; as well as a feeder 160 and a feed trough 170. Automatic feeding can be achieved through the feeder 160 and the feed trough 170, which is convenient for intelligent animal breeding. Among them, the identity temperature sensor 110 and the identity temperature receiver 120 can realize data transmission when they are in the same field.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present application, the terminal 150 may be a mobile terminal or a non-portable computer terminal, which is not specifically limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0032] The following is an example of Figure 1 The functions of each module in it.

[0033] In some embodiments of the present application, the identity and temperature sensor 110 is used to collect animal identity information and temperature information.

[0034] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, Figure 1The identification temperature sensor 110 shown can be worn on the ear of an animal, and can collect the animal's identification information and current body temperature information through wireless radio frequency technology. Each animal has a unique identification information ID, and the identification information can be used to monitor a specific animal. When collecting the animal's body temperature, it can be collected according to a preset period, for example, once every 2 seconds. The embodiments of the present application are not specifically limited here.

[0035] In some embodiments of the present application, the identity and body temperature receiver 120 is used to receive the animal identity information and the body temperature information.

[0036] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, an animal wearing an identity temperature sensor 110 enters the receiver field and can send identity information and temperature information to the receiver (i.e., identity temperature receiver 120) in real time. After receiving the information, the receiver transmits the information to the estrus algorithm module (as a specific example of the estrus monitoring module 130).

[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the animal estrus monitoring system also includes: a behavior detection module (not shown in the figure), which is used to: determine the body posture state of the animal; wherein, when the body posture state is standing, the identity and body temperature detection module is activated.

[0038] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, the behavior sensor (as a specific example of the behavior sensing module) can determine whether the animal is in a standing or lying posture state. The male adult and the aphrodisiac are placed in place or sprayed in time. When the behavior sensor detects that the female individual is in a standing posture, the identity and body temperature sensor 110 will automatically sense the identity information and body temperature information of the animal individual multiple times.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, the cloud server 140 is used to: determine the batches and pens of the animals to be monitored, and confirm that the behavior detection module is in normal working condition, and then receive the estrus program start instruction sent by the terminal; send the estrus instruction corresponding to the estrus program start instruction to the estrus monitoring module.

[0040] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, the cloud server 140 is composed of a database and management software, both of which are deployed in the cloud, so that remote access and sharing of data can be achieved, facilitating multi-location and multi-user collaboration. Among them, the database can be classified and stored, not limited to the uplink data of the above-mentioned identity temperature sensor 110, identity temperature receiver 120, and estrus monitoring module 130; and decision instructions (for example, estrus instructions) can be issued according to needs. The management software can realize functions such as human-computer interaction and data query.

[0041] Specifically, the cloud server 140 can determine the batches and pens of the pre-monitored animals in the estrus start module of the cloud service platform (i.e., cloud server 140) according to batch production or planning, confirm that the behavior sensor is normal and start the estrus program on the mobile terminal to achieve the purpose of controlling feed in advance and eliminating feed in the feed trough, and at the same time issue an estrus algorithm start command (i.e., estrus instruction) to the estrus algorithm module.

[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, the cloud server 140 is used to: receive the animal estrus result.

[0043] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, the estrus monitoring module 130 may transmit the estrus identification result (ie, the animal estrus result) back to the cloud server 140 to complete an estrus identification process.

[0044] In some embodiments of the present application, the estrus monitoring module 130 is used to: after receiving the estrus instruction sent by the cloud server, determine the animal estrus result by analyzing the body temperature information, wherein the animal estrus result represents whether the animal is in estrus.

[0045] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, the estrus algorithm module starts the algorithm after receiving the estrus instruction issued by the estrus initiation module in the cloud server 140, and determines whether the animal is in estrus based on the identity information and body temperature information (as a specific example of the animal estrus result).

[0046] In some embodiments of the present application, the estrus monitoring module 130 is used to: if the body temperature information is greater than the body temperature reference value, confirm that the animal is in the estrus state; if the body temperature information is not greater than the body temperature reference value, confirm that the animal is not in the estrus state.

[0047] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, the real-time collected animal body temperature information TN is compared with the normal body temperature T (as a specific example of a body temperature reference value). If TN>T, it is confirmed that the animal is in estrus, otherwise it is not in estrus.

[0048] In order to better evaluate whether the animal is in estrus, in other embodiments of the present application, the estrus monitoring module 130 is used to: obtain the average body temperature of the body temperature information within a preset time period; if the average body temperature is greater than the body temperature reference value, it is confirmed that the animal is in the estrus state; if the average body temperature is not greater than the body temperature reference value, it is confirmed that the animal is not in estrus.

[0049] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, the estrus monitoring module 130 can calculate the body temperature information received within the preset time period to obtain the average body temperature, and compare the average body temperature with T to determine whether the animal is in estrus. The preset time period can be 4s, 8s, 10s, etc. The preset time period can be set according to actual needs, and the embodiments of the present application are not specifically limited here.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present application, the estrus monitoring module 130 is used to: issue an indication message when it is confirmed that the animal is in the estrus state.

[0051] For example, in some embodiments of the present application, when it is confirmed that the animal is in estrus, a light indication that is easily discernible to the naked eye can be given by an on-site indicator light (as a specific example of the indication information). Alternatively, the indication information can also be sent to the cloud server 140, and the cloud server 140 pushes the indication information to the mobile terminal. It should be understood that the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this. In some application scenarios, after receiving the indication information, the breeder can further confirm whether the animal is in estrus. The specific selection can be made according to the actual application scenario, and the embodiments of the present application are not specifically limited here.
