Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of life cycle monitoring, and in particular to an in-situ stress-free full-life cycle production performance measurement system in pastoral areas. Background Art

[0002] The field of life cycle monitoring technology aims to comprehensively track and evaluate the performance of individuals and groups throughout their life cycle. By collecting data in real time and analyzing the performance of animals at different growth stages, it helps evaluate the long-term impact of environmental factors, feeding conditions and management methods on animal health and production capacity.

[0003] The purpose of the pastoral in-situ stress-free full life cycle production performance measurement system is to accurately measure the production performance of animals at each stage from birth to death through stress-free environmental monitoring, improve pastoral breeding efficiency, optimize animal production performance, avoid stress reactions in animals caused by human interference, ensure the authenticity and stability of data, and at the same time provide accurate production performance evaluation and real-time monitoring to help breeders reduce production costs and improve production efficiency. Through precise data support, it provides a scientific basis for feeding management and environmental adjustment, improves the overall benefits of pastoral breeding, and can provide innovative solutions for related industries, promote the industry to develop in a more efficient and sustainable direction, and thus bring considerable economic benefits and social value.

[0004] Existing technologies are not comprehensive enough for real-time judgment of production performance monitoring and health status during the life cycle. They are limited to monitoring of a single stage and certain specific indicators, and rely on sampling and testing at regular and fixed time points. They cannot reflect the dynamic performance of animals in different growth stages in real time, resulting in the inability to capture small fluctuations in animal health and production capacity in a timely manner in long-term tracking and evaluation, missing the best time for intervention, lacking accurate data analysis for different growth stages, and unable to conduct timely production performance evaluation based on actual data fluctuations. When production efficiency is low, it is impossible to accurately determine the specific cause, and it is impossible to conduct a comprehensive evaluation based on environmental factors and health status. The animal production performance monitoring system relies on Reliance on a single data source and a lack of comprehensive analysis of multi-dimensional data results in inaccurate division of life cycle stages, poor adaptability to environmental changes, inability to dynamically adjust to climate change and changes in feeding conditions, and inability to effectively determine the adaptation of animals through environmental adaptability analysis, leading to delayed diagnosis of animal health problems and unnecessary losses. In addition, existing technologies have problems with data processing lags. Due to the low frequency of data collection and delays in the processing process, real-time feedback on animal production performance cannot be achieved. It is difficult to determine through real-time data whether the animals are in a state of stress and whether there is a potential risk of decreased production capacity, resulting in an inability to make adjustments in the shortest time.

[0061] See also Figure 3 ,The life cycle stage identification module includes a data collection submodule, a data screening submodule and a life cycle stage judgment submodule, among which:

[0062] Data collection submodule: Based on the animal's weight, growth rate, and activity pattern data, it regularly collects the animal's weight and activity frequency. It uses sensors to record the animal's weight and activity pattern data every hour, obtains animal-related activity information through monitoring equipment, records and saves the data hourly, and generates collected data.

[0063] Data screening submodule: Based on the collected data, the hidden Markov model is used. It is assumed that different stages of the animal life cycle can correspond to different hidden states. Each hidden state has a certain observation probability distribution. Through training on historical data, the state transition probability and the observation probability under each state of each life cycle stage are learned. The data that meets the conditions is screened out by comparing with the set standard range. The data that cannot pass the standard screening is regarded as irrelevant data and is eliminated to generate the screened data.

[0064] Life cycle stage determination submodule: Based on the screening data, the module compares the animal's weight change and growth rate with the set weight and growth rate thresholds hour by hour to check whether they meet the standards, identify whether the animal is in the correct life cycle stage, calibrate the specific standards for each stage, and generate the life cycle stage division results;

[0065] Data Collection Submodule: Based on animal weight, growth rate, and activity pattern data, sensors are used to regularly collect animal weight and activity frequency. The sensors record animal weight data every hour and obtain animal-related activity information through monitoring equipment. The collected data includes weight, activity frequency, and activity pattern. The monitoring equipment records the animal's dynamic behavior information at a high frequency, accurately obtaining hourly data points. Each collected data point is stored in real time in a storage unit and initially formatted. The configured collection program ensures that data is accurately collected within the set time interval. Each data collection will generate collected data, including the weight value, activity frequency value, and activity pattern at the corresponding time point within each time period.

[0066] Data screening submodule: Based on the collected data, the hidden Markov model is used to screen the collected animal weight, growth rate and activity data. The state space of the hidden Markov model is defined as different life cycle stages, each stage corresponds to a state, and the observation symbol is the collected data, namely weight change, activity frequency and growth rate. The hidden Markov model screens the collected data according to the preset life cycle stage standards, uses the Baum-Welch algorithm to train the model parameters, and performs probability estimation for the state selection at each moment, and uses the Viterbi algorithm to decode and obtain the most likely life cycle stage. By performing hourly comparative analysis of weight, growth rate and activity data, data that meets the set life cycle standards is screened out, and irrelevant noise data is removed. The generated screening data includes valid data sets and removes invalid data that does not meet the conditions to ensure the accuracy and validity of the data;

[0067] Life cycle stage determination submodule: Based on the filtered data, an hourly comparison algorithm is used to compare the filtered data with the set weight and growth rate thresholds. The thresholds used are standard values ​​set in advance according to different life cycle stages. The absolute error method is used to calculate the deviation between weight change and growth rate and the standard threshold. When the deviation exceeds the preset standard threshold, the data is marked as abnormal and further screened and classified to determine whether the data meets the standard range of the life cycle stage. The deviation value of all weight change and growth rate data from the threshold will be used to determine whether the animal is in the correct life cycle stage. Through hourly comparison and threshold verification of data, classification operations are performed to reasonably classify the data. The specific standards for each stage are calibrated based on the classification results, and the life cycle stage division results are finally generated. The life cycle stage of each animal is calibrated in detail to ensure the accuracy and rationality of the life cycle stage.

The weight is set according to the contribution of each data to the production efficiency. The weighted sum calculation method is used to integrate the weighted data and finally calculate the production efficiency value. Through the data update process, the calculation results are adjusted in real time to generate the production performance fluctuation identification results, which include the production efficiency fluctuations in each life cycle stage for subsequent analysis.
