Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of intelligent farming technology, and in particular to an intelligent management system, method and related equipment for fattening pig farming. Background Technology
[0002] In modern animal husbandry, fattening pig farming is a crucial link in pork production. With population growth and increasing demand for pork, traditional fattening pig farming methods face numerous challenges.
[0003] In existing pig farm management techniques, traditional fattening pig farm management typically relies on manual observation and experience-based judgment. Farm staff need to frequently inspect the pigpens to monitor the pigs' health, feeding habits, and behavior. However, this approach has many limitations. Manual observation is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also difficult to achieve real-time and comprehensive monitoring, easily overlooking crucial information. Regarding feed management, traditional methods often rely on estimations to provide feed, failing to accurately supply feed according to the actual needs of each pig, leading to feed waste or nutritional imbalances. Health monitoring is often only discovered after pigs have shown obvious symptoms, at which point treatment is often difficult, increasing treatment costs and potentially impacting growth or even causing death, resulting in economic losses for the farm. Environmental control is also a challenge in traditional farming. Maintaining optimal temperature, humidity, and ventilation conditions is difficult, affecting the growth rate and health of fattening pigs.
[0004] With the development of technology, intelligent technologies are gradually being applied to various fields, but their application in the fattening pig farming sector remains relatively lagging. Currently, although some farms have begun to introduce some automated equipment, most of this equipment is single-function, lacks systematization and integration, and cannot achieve comprehensive, precise, and efficient farm management. Therefore, developing a comprehensive intelligent farm management system for fattening pigs to achieve precise monitoring, scientific management, and intelligent control throughout the entire growth process has become an urgent need to improve farming efficiency, ensure pork quality, and enhance the economic benefits of farms.

[0066] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0067] In existing pig farm management techniques, manual inspection is the most traditional method. Workers periodically inspect the pig farm to check temperature and humidity, feed supply, and the health and behavior of the pigs. While simple, this method is extremely inefficient in large-scale farms, making real-time monitoring and management difficult. Especially when there are sudden changes in the pig farm environment or the health of the pigs, manual inspections cannot detect problems in time, which can easily lead to the spread of disease or insufficient feed supply, increasing management costs and risks.
[0068] Some modern farms have introduced automated sensor monitoring systems. While the solution of wearing or injecting sensors on pigs can record the movement trajectory of pigs, it requires equipment maintenance, which is costly. In addition, wearing or injecting sensors may cause stress reactions in pigs, affecting their health and growth. At the same time, the sensors are easily damaged during actual use, resulting in unstable monitoring data, which further increases the difficulty and cost of maintenance.
[0069] Traditional IoT networking methods typically use a single communication protocol for data transmission, which cannot simultaneously achieve low power consumption and communication stability. Furthermore, most existing IoT systems lack fault redundancy design; if a communication link fails, the system may be paralyzed, leading to data transmission interruption and increasing maintenance complexity and cost.
[0070] Given that most current intelligent management solutions for fattening pig farming are ill-suited to the complex and ever-changing business needs, this applicant has researched and developed an intelligent management solution for fattening pig farming. The intelligent management system for fattening pigs provided in this application manages target fattening pig farms. This system employs a star topology network, enabling real-time, long-distance, low-power transmission of low-throughput data, as well as real-time transmission of high-throughput data, providing efficient data transmission and stable communication. The system also features redundancy; if one communication protocol in the first or second transmission module fails, another protocol automatically takes over, effectively ensuring stable system operation. Furthermore, the environmental monitoring module and pig detection module of the intelligent management system provided in this application utilize various sensors and cameras to achieve real-time and accurate monitoring of the farm environment and the health status of fattening pigs. This allows for timely detection of health problems in fattening pigs, effectively improving the accuracy, scientific management, and intelligent control of the entire fattening pig growth process, thereby increasing farming efficiency, ensuring pork quality, and enhancing the economic benefits of the farm.
[0071] The methods provided in this application can be used in a variety of general-purpose or special-purpose computing device environments or configurations. For example: personal computers, server computers, handheld or portable devices, tablet devices, multiprocessor devices, distributed computing environments including any of the above devices, etc.
[0072] This application provides an intelligent management method for fattening pig farming. This method can be applied to various farming management systems, as well as to various computer terminals or smart terminals. The executing entity can be the processor or server of the computer terminal or smart terminal.
[0073] The following is combined Figure 1 This application introduces an optional system architecture for intelligent management of fattening pig farms, as provided in its embodiments. Figure 1 As shown, the system architecture may include remote devices, cloud servers, and gateway modules.
[0074] In practical applications, multiple functional nodes can be deployed according to the actual needs of the farm, such as... Figure 2 The system architecture shown allows for communication between remote devices and the cloud server via WiFi, and between the cloud server and the gateway module via Ethernet. Multiple functional nodes can also be deployed in the gateway module.
[0075] For example, multiple functional nodes can be deployed for the gateway module according to the needs of fattening pig farms.
[0076] For example, the gateway module may include a coordination and control module, a first transmission module, a second transmission module, a power supply module, an environmental monitoring module, and a pig monitoring module. The coordination and control module can be connected to the environmental monitoring module, the pig monitoring module, the power supply module, the first transmission module, and the second transmission module, respectively.
[0077] The environmental monitoring module is responsible for collecting environmental parameters of the target fattening pig farm and transmitting them to the coordination and control module.
[0078] In practical applications, the environmental monitoring module can deploy various sensors to collect various environmental parameters of the farm, according to the actual application needs of the farm.
[0079] For example, the types and number of detection units in the environmental monitoring module can be customized according to the specific needs of the farm to meet the needs of farms of different sizes and types.
[0080] For example, an environmental monitoring module may include a temperature and humidity monitoring unit, a gas concentration monitoring unit, a pressure monitoring unit, and a liquid level monitoring unit.
[0081] Among them, the temperature and humidity detection unit can monitor the temperature and humidity data of the target fattening pig farm in real time, so as to provide a suitable growth environment for the fattening pigs;
[0082] The gas concentration detection unit can be responsible for detecting the concentration of harmful gases in the air of the target fattening pig farm, such as ammonia and carbon dioxide, to ensure the air quality of the farm and prevent harmful gases from affecting the health of the pigs.
[0083] The pressure detection unit can detect the weight data of the target fattening pigs so as to monitor the growth status of the fattening pigs. In practical applications, in order to reduce management costs, pressure detection sensors can be installed in the pigsty where the target fattening pigs are active to monitor the weight data of each target fattening pig.
[0084] The liquid level detection unit can be responsible for detecting the remaining amount of feed or liquid in the feeding device of the target fattening pig. For example, the liquid level detection unit can detect the remaining amount of feed in the feed bucket to ensure the timeliness of feed supply.
[0085] The feeding device provided in this application embodiment can be a highly efficient feeding system. It can effectively solve the feeding and drinking problems of fattening pigs. Its design is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized pig farms, especially in penned environments where multiple pigs are eating or drinking at the same time. It can effectively alleviate overcrowding, improve feeding efficiency, and enhance animal welfare.
[0086] Figure 3 and Figure 4 An example is a schematic diagram of a feeding device structure, wherein, Figure 3 This is a front view of the feeding device provided in the embodiments of this application; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the upper and lower isometric projections of the feeding device provided in the embodiments of this application.
[0087] like Figure 3 As shown, the feeding device may include a control panel 1, a camera device 2, a feeding port 3, a feeder 4, a feed trough 5, a water trough 6, a waterer 7, and an emergency switch button 8.
[0088] The emergency switch button 8 can be deployed on the control panel 1. The emergency switch button 8 can be used by the user to turn the feeding device off or on based on a preset emergency shutdown or startup strategy. For example, the emergency switch button can be used to respond to emergencies and minimize losses.
[0089] The control panel 1 may include a control unit and a display unit. The display unit can be used to display the operating status of various parts of the feeding device, environmental data collected by the environmental detection module, and activity and status data of each target fattening pig collected by the pig detection module. The control unit can be used to allow users to intelligently adjust the parameters of the target fattening pig farm and query the historical data of the target fattening pig farm and the historical data of each target fattening pig.
[0090] For example, in practical applications, the control unit and display unit can transmit data via an HDMI interface. The display unit can intuitively present the operating status of each node, as well as collected environmental data, pig behavior data, feed status, and other information, providing a user-friendly interface. The control unit allows users to adjust system parameters and query data through this interface. The system supports viewing historical data; users can choose to view data for a month or a quarter, facilitating the analysis and evaluation of the farm's long-term operation.
[0091] The camera device 2 can be connected to the control panel 1 and can be used to monitor the status of the feeding port 3, feeder 4, feed basin 5, water basin 6 and waterer 7 respectively.
[0092] Control panel 1 is used to control the operation of various parts of the feeding device;
[0093] Feed inlet 3 can be installed above feeder 4 and can be used to feed various target fattening pigs;
[0094] The feed trough 5 can be installed below the feeder 4 and can be used to hold feed for feeding various target fattening pigs. The feeder 4 can include a first liquid level sensor, which can be used to monitor the remaining feed data of the feeder 4. In actual application, a stirring device can also be added to the feeder 4 according to actual breeding needs so that the feed in the feeder 4 can be stirred.
[0095] For example, when water, solvents, or solid nutrients need to be added to the feed, the stirring device in feeder 4 can be activated to ensure that the water, solvents, or solid nutrients in feeder 4 are fully mixed with the feed, thereby improving the feeding effect.
[0096] The water basin 6 can be installed below the water feeder 7 and can be used to hold liquid for feeding the target fattening pigs.
[0097] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown in the schematic diagram of the water feeder structure, the water feeder 7 may include a stirring device 9, a second liquid level sensor 10, and a weight sensor 11. The stirring device 9 is used to stir the liquid or solid in the water feeder 7. The second liquid level sensor 10 is used to monitor the liquid balance data of the water feeder 7. The weight sensor 11 is used to monitor the liquid weight data of the water feeder.
[0098] For example, to comprehensively monitor the health of pigs, high-resolution cameras can be deployed in the monitoring system to monitor the pigs' drinking and eating behaviors in real time. The data captured by the high-resolution cameras can be used to calculate the number of pigs feeding in real time, and combined with pressure sensors, the remaining amount of feed and water in the feeder can be calculated, allowing for dynamic adjustments to the amount of feed and water provided.
[0099] To optimize animal nutrient intake, a stirring device can be introduced into the feeder, and a similar innovative design can be implemented in the waterer. This design ensures that water is thoroughly and evenly mixed with any added nutrients, medications, or other solutions. This effectively prevents additive precipitation and ensures the solution remains homogeneous. Furthermore, the stirring device significantly accelerates the dissolution rate of additives in water, especially for substances that are difficult to dissolve, improving dissolution efficiency. The uniformly mixed solution avoids localized high or low concentrations, ensuring that all nutrients and medications are fully utilized and reducing waste. This not only improves the effectiveness of medication and nutrient intake in animals, contributing to their health and growth, but also prevents clumping or blockage in the waterer, facilitating proper equipment maintenance and operation.
[0100] Staff can use their experience to feed and water at set times and in set quantities, or set parameters based on statistical data and calculated recommended times and quantities provided by the system. This allows managers to combine their professional knowledge with the system's intelligent recommendations to scientifically manage the entire pig farm's feeding operations.
[0101] The modular design of the feeding device provided in this application facilitates maintenance and upgrades, giving it good adaptability and scalability for long-term use. Overall, this system brings significant technological advancements to the pig farming industry, promoting both improved pig farming efficiency and animal welfare.
[0102] The pig detection module is responsible for collecting activity and status data of each target fattening pig in real time, analyzing the data, and then transmitting the analyzed data to the coordination and control module.
[0103] The pig detection module may include an image acquisition unit and an edge computing unit. The image acquisition unit can collect the activity trajectory data and status data of each target fattening pig in real time and transmit them to the edge computing unit. The collected activity trajectory data and status data of the target fattening pig may include image data and video stream data.
[0104] The edge computing unit can receive the activity trajectory data and status data of each target fattening pig transmitted by the image acquisition unit, and analyze them in real time to determine the movement trajectory, behavior, ID and location information of each target fattening pig and transmit them to the coordination and control module.
[0105] For example, in practical applications, edge computing units have local computing capabilities and can process and analyze the collected data in real time. For instance, by analyzing the collected data of fattening pigs, the behavior, ID, and location information of the fattening pigs can be identified. The identified behavior, ID, and location information of the fattening pigs can be further processed to finally determine the behavior, ID, and location information of the fattening pigs and transmit it to the coordination and control module.
[0106] The process by which the edge computing unit receives the activity trajectory data and status data of each target fattening pig transmitted by the image acquisition unit, and performs real-time analysis to determine the movement trajectory, behavior, ID, and location information of each target fattening pig, may include the following:
[0107] In step S11, the edge computing unit receives the activity trajectory data and status data of each target fattening pig, and performs real-time detection on them through a preset detection and analysis model to obtain the bounding box and behavior classification results of each target fattening pig.
[0108] The preset detection and analysis model can be trained by using the activity trajectory dataset and state data of the target fattening pig as training samples, and the bounding boxes and behavior classification results of the training fattening pig included in the activity trajectory and state data as sample labels.
[0109] The preset detection and analysis model can be deployed in the edge computing unit to achieve real-time detection, location tracking and behavior analysis of fattening pigs.
[0110] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the network structure of the detection and analysis model provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 6 As shown, the detection and analysis model provided in this application embodiment can be the YOLO-CS model. The detection and analysis model provided in this application embodiment adds a dual attention mechanism, adding a CA attention mechanism in the 5th layer of the backbone and an SE attention mechanism in the 9th layer, so as to improve the detection and analysis model's ability to process different information and effectively suppress invalid information.
[0111] The YOLO-CS model provided in this application embodiment can use the GSConv module to replace the ordinary Conv module for downsampling, so as to effectively improve the computational efficiency, reduce the amount of computation and the number of parameters, and thus improve the computational speed.
[0112] In practical applications, the GSConv calculation of the YOLO-CS model provided in this application includes two stages: the Squeeze stage and the Ghost generation stage.
[0113] (1) The standard convolution operation in the Squeeze stage can produce feature maps. , The calculation formula can be:
[0114] ;

[0117] ;
[0118] This is the first output of the Squeeze phase. Each feature map This represents a linear transformation operation.
[0119] Step S12: Perform multi-target tracking on each target fattening pig, assign a unique ID to each target fattening pig, and record the movement path of each target fattening pig.
[0120] For example, in practical applications, multi-target tracking tasks can be performed based on the ByteTrack tracker, and a unique ID number can be assigned to each pig, while the movement path of each pig can be recorded.
[0121] By using the ByteTrack tracker for multi-target tracking and assigning a unique ID to each pig while recording its movement path, the risk of disease caused by implanted tracker sensors can be effectively avoided by avoiding the need to implant tracker sensors in each fattening pig. This also effectively reduces costs and increases efficiency.
[0122] Step S13: Extract image data for each target fattening pig based on the bounding box of each target fattening pig.
[0123] Step S14: Preprocess the image data of each target fattening pig to obtain the edge information of the ID of each target fattening pig.
[0124] Step S15: Identify the edge information of the ID of each target fattening pig to obtain the identification result of the ID of each target fattening pig.
[0125] For example, in practical applications, Canny edge detection can be used to preprocess the image data corresponding to each pig, making the edge information of the ID more prominent. The specific steps are as follows:
[0126] (1) Use a Gaussian filter to smooth the image and reduce the impact of noise on edge detection.
[0127] (2) Use the Sobel operator to calculate the gradient of the image in the horizontal and vertical directions to obtain the intensity gradient and direction of the image.
[0128] (3) Suppress non-maximum values in the gradient direction, remove non-edge pixels, and retain local maximum values.
[0129] (4) Use high threshold and low threshold to determine strong edges and weak edges respectively.
[0130] (5) By connecting the weak edges through the strong edges determined by the high threshold, the complete edge is finally obtained.
[0131] In practical applications, OCR (Optical Character Recognition) can be used to identify the ID number of each pig, obtain the ID number corresponding to each fattening pig, and calibrate the corresponding ID number in the tracker to ensure the stability of each pig's ID in a dynamic environment.
[0132] Step S16: The identification result of the ID of each target fattening pig is calibrated with the ID determined for tracking it to determine the ID of each target fattening pig.
[0133] For example, in practical applications, each pig can be periodically calibrated with an ID number written on it using bright, easily visible, and durable paint to distinguish it from others.
[0134] Step S17: Based on the movement trajectory and ID of each target fattening pig, determine the movement trajectory, behavior and location information of each target fattening pig.
[0135] The coordination and control module can receive data transmitted from the environmental monitoring module and the pig monitoring module, analyze it, and then transmit it to the cloud server through the first transmission module and the second transmission module according to the data type for users to view.
[0136] In practical applications, the first transmission module can use the WiFi protocol, and the second transmission module can use the LoRa transmission protocol.
[0137] For example, such as Figure 2 The system architecture shown in this application embodiment allows the intelligent management system to adopt a star topology network. In practical applications, the gateway is responsible for receiving data from each node and transmitting all collected information to the cloud server via an Ethernet interface. The gateway is compatible with both LoRa and WiFi protocols and can select the appropriate communication protocol based on the data type.
[0138] In practical applications, the WiFi protocol, also known as Wireless Fidelity, is a technical standard that allows electronic devices to communicate wirelessly over local area networks (WLANs) and the Internet. The WiFi protocol supports QoS (Quality of Service) mechanisms, providing different quality of service for different types of data packets through priority queuing and bandwidth allocation, ensuring the data transmission quality of real-time applications such as voice and video. In terms of security, it supports multiple encryption algorithms and authentication mechanisms, such as WEP, WPA, and WPA2, and also supports security measures such as SSID hiding and MAC address filtering to enhance the security of wireless networks.
[0139] Therefore, the first transmission module in the system provided in this application embodiment can use the WiFi transmission protocol to transmit high-throughput data, for example, it can transmit the collected video stream data.
[0140] LoRa (Long Range) is a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) communication technology protocol primarily used for long-distance, low-power communication between Internet of Things (IoT) devices. It can achieve long-distance communication of several kilometers to tens of kilometers with extremely low power consumption. LoRa employs spread spectrum modulation technology, specifically chirped spread spectrum (CSS). This technology spreads the signal in the frequency domain, giving it better anti-interference capabilities and a longer transmission distance. It's like distributing information across a wider frequency range; even if some frequencies are interfered with, the information can be recovered from other frequencies.
[0141] In open environments such as rural or suburban areas, the communication distance can reach 10-20 kilometers or even longer; in urban environments, due to interference from buildings and other obstacles, the communication distance can still reach about 1-5 kilometers. This allows it to cover a larger area and reduce the number of network infrastructure deployments required.
[0142] LoRa devices consume extremely low power in sleep mode, only a few microamps or even less. In operating mode, power consumption can also be kept low depending on factors such as data transmission frequency and power. For example, a battery-powered LoRa sensor node, with proper configuration, can have a battery life of several years, significantly reducing device maintenance costs.
[0143] A single LoRa gateway can connect tens of thousands of terminal devices simultaneously, which is crucial for large-scale IoT applications (such as environmental monitoring systems in smart cities and vehicle tracking in intelligent transportation systems), effectively supporting the access of a large number of devices.
[0144] Therefore, the second transmission module provided in this application embodiment can use the LoRa transmission protocol to transmit low-throughput data.
[0145] Therefore, the intelligent management system provided in this application embodiment can use both LoRa and WiFi protocols for data transmission. The LoRa protocol is responsible for transmitting low-throughput data, mainly used for collecting low-volume data such as environmental monitoring data and feed feeding commands in fattening pig farms. The WiFi protocol, on the other hand, is responsible for transmitting high-throughput data, such as video streams, to ensure the real-time performance and efficiency of video transmission.
[0146] In practical applications, each node communicates with the gateway module via either a LoRa or WiFi transmission module, supporting both protocols and offering advantages such as low power consumption, long-distance transmission, and high stability. Furthermore, the transmission network of the intelligent management system provided in this embodiment employs a fault redundancy design. When one communication protocol (LoRa or WiFi) in the intelligent management system fails, the other communication protocol can temporarily take over the data transmission task and send a warning message to the gateway module, ensuring stable system operation.
[0147] For example, Figure 7 This example illustrates the structural diagram of the various modules of a gateway module.
[0148] In practical applications, such as Figure 7 As shown in the diagram, the coordination and control module is responsible for driving the operation of other modules and collecting relevant data from each module. The coordination and control module can communicate with the LoRa transmission module via a serial port to transmit low-throughput data, such as environmental parameters and feed feeding status, to the cloud server. Simultaneously, the coordination and control module can communicate at high speed with the pig detection module via the SPI bus, ensuring rapid processing and transmission of video stream data collected by the pig detection module, as well as information on the behavior, ID, and location of fattening pigs.
[0149] The remote device can be used to allow users to view data on the cloud server and receive target instructions made by users based on the data viewed on the cloud server, and transmit them to the coordination and control module so that the coordination and control module can adjust the operating strategies of the environmental detection module and the pig detection module in real time according to the target instructions.
[0150] For example, in practical applications, the remote devices in the intelligent management system provided in this application embodiment can be connected to the farm via a cloud server. Users can monitor the farm's operating status in real time through the remote devices and adjust the system parameters as needed.
[0151] For example, in practical applications, after collecting data from each node, the coordination and control module can transmit the data to a remote server via an Ethernet interface to achieve centralized management and remote monitoring of the entire farm's data.
[0152] In this application, remote devices can access the intelligent management system provided by the embodiment of the application through web page authentication. The remote devices can be mobile phones, computers, or mobile terminals.
[0153] The power module is responsible for supplying power to all other modules in the gateway module except for the power module itself. The main function of the power module is to perform 220V step-up and step-down conversion, AC and DC conversion, and to supply specific voltages according to the actual needs of each module.
[0154] Furthermore, in order to better monitor the health status of the animals raised in the farm, the intelligent fattening pig farming system provided by the real-time flow of this application may also include a health monitoring system.
[0155] Among them, the health monitoring system can analyze the environmental conditions of the target fattening pig farm and the activity and status data of each target fattening pig based on data from the cloud server.
[0156] For example, the analysis results of the environmental conditions of the target fattening pig farm can be used to determine whether the environment of the target fattening pig farm meets the growth requirements of each target fattening pig. If it is determined that the environment of the target fattening pig farm does not meet the growth requirements of each target fattening pig, an environmental anomaly warning signal can be issued, and the rectification measures for the target fattening pig farm can be determined based on the environmental anomaly warning signal to remind staff to intervene.
[0157] For example, the analysis results of the activity data and status data of each target fattening pig can be used to determine whether there are any abnormalities in the growth trend or growth status of each target fattening pig. If it is determined that there are target fattening pigs with abnormal growth trends or growth status, an early warning signal for the fattening pig abnormality can be issued. Furthermore, based on the early warning information for the fattening pig abnormality, maintenance and adjustment measures for the fattening pigs with abnormal growth can be determined to remind staff to intervene.
[0158] For example, when the health monitoring system detects that the farm's environmental conditions are unreasonable, such as abnormal temperature and humidity or declining air quality, or when it detects that fattening pigs are suspected of being sick, the health monitoring system can automatically issue an alarm and provide suggested measures in the display unit to help users deal with potential problems in a timely manner and ensure the health of the pigs and the stability of their growth environment.
[0159] Furthermore, to better facilitate staff in viewing abnormal information about farms or fattening pigs, adjustment measures for the target fattening pig farms or target fattening pigs can also be displayed on the display unit.
