Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of Aythya baeri incubation, in particular to a method and device for improving the success rate of artificial incubation of Aythya baeri eggs. BACKGROUND

[0002] Aythya baeri belongs to the Anseriformes Anatidae Aythya, is a national key protected wild animal in China, is also listed as a critically endangered (CR) level in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, and the global mature individual number is less than 700 in 2019. In 2022, the first artificial population of Aythya baeri in China was established in Beijing Zoo, and the number of artificial population has reached more than 100. Improving the reproductive success rate is the key to prevent the extinction of the species. At present, effective artificial incubation technology is urgently needed in two scenarios: one is the emergency rescue of abandoned nest eggs in the wild (due to factors such as waterlogging, human disturbance, and natural enemies), and the other is the population rejuvenation and expansion of zoos, wetland protection areas and artificial breeding bases to improve the hatching rate of Aythya baeri.

[0003] Although the existing general incubation technology has formed a standardized incubation procedure, including fixed temperature and humidity curve, egg turning program, egg airing time and weight loss rate reference range, these procedures are mainly based on the experience of related species and do not take into account the special needs of endangered species. For example, the current artificial incubation technology makes the hatching rate of Aythya baeri not higher than 60%. Moreover, the effectiveness of the existing incubation work is highly dependent on the personal experience and intuition of the technicians, and lacks scientific quantification and standardized operation guidance, especially when dealing with precious species such as Aythya baeri rescue eggs, this dependency is particularly evident. For example, the egg evaluation completely relies on the naked eye observation and experience judgment of the operator, and lacks a set of standardized embryonic development atlas of Aythya baeri as the "gold standard". This leads to the inability to accurately determine whether the embryo is developing normally at different ages, making it difficult to detect developmental retardation or stagnation early, missing the intervention opportunity, and the judgment standards of different operators are not the same, resulting in poor repeatability of the results.

[0004] In addition, although modern incubators have the functions of automatic temperature and humidity control, egg turning and environmental data recording, their control logic is based on universality and does not have built-in biological data or models of specific species (such as Aythya baeri). Its monitoring function is usually limited to environmental parameters (such as temperature and humidity in the box), and cannot automatically and integrally evaluate the physiological state of the egg itself (such as embryonic development and weight loss). For example, the eggshell structure, embryonic metabolic rate and gas exchange efficiency of Aythya baeri are significantly different from those of poultry. Simply applying the temperature and humidity curve and weight loss standard of poultry (such as 10%-15% throughout the process) cannot meet the optimal development needs of Aythya baeri, which is often the main reason for abnormal embryonic development, stillbirth and weak chicks.

[0005] And the prior art only provides a broad final weight loss range, lacks a fine-to-the-day weight loss trajectory model throughout the entire incubation cycle, and the overall moisture management is extensive, and the weight loss control is lagging. Humidity control is a "post-remedy", and when the weight loss deviates, the embryo may have been damaged. Prospective and precise moisture management cannot be achieved, resulting in large fluctuations in the hatching rate and healthy chick rate.

[0006] When airing eggs in the incubator, the heating is turned off and the door is opened, the temperature drops slowly, the stimulation to the embryos is weak and uneven (especially the eggs in the corners), and at the same time, the stable incubation environment in the box is severely damaged, the recovery period is long, and all embryos are affected. When airing eggs in the ordinary air environment, the temperature and humidity of the environment cannot be controlled, and the embryos are prone to suffer from heat stress or cold stress due to overcooling, overheating, excessive dryness or draught, causing irreversible damage.

[0007] In addition, weighing, egg inspection and environmental control are several separate operation links, and the data is recorded on paper or in different electronic spreadsheets, making it difficult to perform instant and correlated comprehensive analysis. Decision-making relies on the brain integration of fragmented information by technical personnel, and the hatching data is fragmented, resulting in low decision-making efficiency, low efficiency, errors, and the inability to form an efficient standardized process, resulting in a high dependence on a small number of experienced experts for successful incubation. The above-mentioned complex monitoring and control process requires a large amount of manpower to cooperate, and it is difficult to replicate and promote in basic units such as zoos and nature reserves, which restricts the overall efficiency of the Aythya baievskii population protection.

[0008] As can be seen, the above-mentioned existing incubation method lacks specific biological data for the Aythya baievskii and cannot meet the special incubation needs of this endangered species. The present application is based on this, and a method and device for improving the artificial incubation success rate of Aythya baievskii eggs are created, which can detect problems in the incubation process of Aythya baievskii in a timely manner based on the Aythya baievskii embryo development atlas and weight loss model, and give intelligent control suggestions, greatly improving the hatching rate and reproductive success rate of Aythya baievskii, and becoming the current industry's much-needed improvement target. SUMMARY

[0009] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a method for improving the artificial incubation success rate of Aythya baievskii eggs, which can detect problems in the incubation process of Aythya baievskii in a timely manner based on the Aythya baievskii embryo development atlas and weight loss model, and give intelligent control suggestions, greatly improving the hatching rate and reproductive success rate of Aythya baievskii, thereby overcoming the deficiencies of the existing artificial incubation method of Aythya baievskii eggs.

[0010] To solve the above technical problems, the application provides a method for improving the artificial hatching success rate of Aythya baieviana eggs, which comprises the following steps: increasing the egg inspection and weighing steps during the hatching of the Aythya baieviana eggs, obtaining an embryo atlas by egg photography during the hatching of the Aythya baieviana eggs, weighing the Aythya baieviana eggs for at least two consecutive days, calculating the actual weight loss rate, and then comparing the obtained embryo atlas and actual weight loss rate with a pre-constructed embryo development sequence atlas database and a theoretical weight loss rate database of the Aythya baieviana young ducklings during hatching, generating an evaluation conclusion and a control suggestion according to a preset logical matrix, so as to timely find the hatching development condition of the Aythya baieviana eggs and timely adjust according to the control suggestion, and finally improve the hatching success rate.

[0011] Further improvement, the constructed embryo development sequence atlas database of the Aythya baieviana young ducklings during hatching is obtained by photographing the embryos of the Aythya baieviana eggs hatched for 0-26 days by egg photography;

[0012] The constructed theoretical weight loss rate database of the Aythya baieviana young ducklings during hatching is calculated by an Aythya baieviana egg weight and hatching day regression model.

[0013] Further improvement, the Aythya baieviana egg weight and hatching day regression model is obtained from the egg weight loss curves of the Aythya baieviana young ducklings hatched successfully in the past years, and the Aythya baieviana egg weight and hatching day regression model is as follows:

[0014] y=-0.2527x+43.68 (R²=0.9992)

[0034] Determination condition: The actual weight loss rate is less than the theoretical weight loss rate, and the deviation is <3.0%, and the embryonic development state is normal or delayed.

[0035] Evaluation Conclusion: The egg loses weight insufficiently, which will limit the embryonic development space or cause suffocation later.

[0036] Regulation Suggestions: Appropriately reduce the humidity of the incubation environment to accelerate water evaporation, and consider increasing the airing frequency to twice a day to improve gas exchange.

[0037] (III) Development delay with abnormal weight loss

[0087] Exemplary embodiments of the present application will be described herein below with reference to the accompanying drawings. While exemplary embodiments of the present application are shown in the drawings, it is understood that the present application can be embodied in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that this application will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the application to those skilled in the art.

[0088] I. Construction of a unique incubation database for the tufted duck

[0089] From 2019 to 2025, the Beijing Zoo carried out research on artificial incubation technology for rare and endangered tufted ducks, constructed an egg embryo development atlas during incubation of the tufted duck and an artificial incubation technology system for the species, including standard processes such as preservation and transportation, incubation temperature and humidity, egg turning, egg airing, and egg checking, as well as key parameters such as egg weight loss.

[0090] Among them, by checking the eggs and taking photos of the egg embryos during 0-26 days of the tufted duck, the first innovative construction of the embryo development sequence atlas database during the incubation of the young duckling of the tufted duck was carried out, as shown in the accompanying Figures 1 to 3 The corresponding daily egg checking atlas in the accompanying Figures 1 to 3 The characteristics of the 0-26 day embryo development of the tufted duck are described as follows:

[0091] On the 0th day of incubation, when checking the eggs under strong light, the high permeability of the egg can be seen, and the whole egg color is transparent and uniform.

[0092] On the first day of incubation, the egg is highly permeable and the whole egg is still relatively transparent. The yolk shadow can be seen faintly.

[0093] On the second day of incubation, the egg is still highly permeable and there is no obvious change compared with the first day.

[0094] On the third day of incubation, the egg disc projection can be observed. The egg disc projection is located on the surface of the yolk and moves with the egg disc. The egg disc projection is red in color. The yolk projection is clear. Fine blood vessels can be seen, and the embryo has not formed a clear spider web.

[0095] On the fourth day of incubation, there is a significant change compared with the third day. The spider web embryo can be observed when the egg is examined. The blood vessels are clear and obvious. Careful observation can see the heartbeat. The embryo occupies 2 / 3 of the yolk projection. At this time, the yolk projection is clear, and the spider web embryo moves with the yolk. The boundary between yolk and albumen is obvious.

[0096] On the fifth day of incubation, the yolk projection is close to the sharp end of the egg. The embryo develops rapidly, and the spider web blood vessels almost cover the surface of the yolk projection. The blood vessels are fine and obviously thickened, with obvious branches. The heartbeat of the embryo can still be seen.

[0097] On the sixth day of incubation, the yolk projection has reached the sharp end of the egg. At this time, the spider web embryo has developed and the blood vessels are abundant, forming a rich blood vessel network. The fetus is slightly brighter around, and when the egg is shaken, the fetus can be observed to move with the shaking. When the egg is still, the fetal movement can be observed to be relatively slight. The blood vessel network of the embryo has not reached the dorsal side. From the side, the edge of the blood vessel network can be seen to reach about half of the egg.

[0098] On the seventh day of incubation, the yolk projection almost reaches the edge of the sharp end of the egg, and the blood vessel network almost covers the surface of the yolk projection. From the side of the egg, it can be observed that the blood vessel network has reached 1 / 2 of the egg.

[0099] On the eighth day of incubation, the fetus can be seen to sink and float in the amniotic fluid. Black eye spots can be seen. On this day, the blood vessel area has crossed the midline of the egg. On the dorsal side, the upper part of the blood vessel area is closer together, and the development is faster than the lower part, which is the main feature of this day. The blood vessel network projection looks virtual but is clear. The blood vessel area near the air chamber is growing towards each other. The lower end is bright.

[0100] On the ninth day of incubation, it can be observed that the blood vessel network under the dorsal air chamber is closer than yesterday, and the color of the blood vessel network is darker and clearer than yesterday, and the blood vessels are thicker. The embryo is still sinking and floating from the front.

[0101] On the tenth day of incubation, the blood vessel network near the air chamber on the dorsal side of the egg has not completely closed. Today, the observation of the blood vessel network from the dorsal side and the side is similar to the ninth day of incubation. But when the egg is examined from the front, the amplitude of the embryo's up and down movement increases, and the embryo is more active.

[0102] On day 11 of incubation, the vascular network near the real end of the dorsal side of the egg is closed (allantoic closure). The yolk shadow is visible in the middle of the egg when the egg is candled. The yellowish shadow is the yolk shadow.

[0103] On day 12 of incubation, the blood vessels on the dorsal side of the egg are darker and more prominent. The blood vessel shadow is more distinct when the egg is candled. The yolk shadow on both sides of the egg is also darker. The air cell is also observed to be larger. Fetal movement is observed, but the movement is not as "fluffy" and is more forceful, but the frequency appears to be reduced.

[0104] On day 13 of incubation, the yolk shadow is observed to be closer to the middle of the egg from the dorsal side of the egg. The blood vessels are prominent and bright in color on the dorsal side. The projection of the embryo is observed on the ventral side of the egg, and forceful fetal movement is observed.

[0105] On day 14 of incubation, the projections of the embryo and the yolk are observed in the middle of the egg, and the upper and lower portions of the egg are more transparent. The projection of the embryo is dark, which is believed to be the feather. The fetal movement is forceful.

[0106] On day 15 of incubation, the shadow of the embryo in the egg is larger than yesterday, occupying about half of the face.

[0107] On day 16 of incubation, the dark shadow in the egg almost reaches the pointed end. The blood vessels are still visible on the side near the air cell.

[0108] On day 17 of incubation, the shadow in the egg has completely covered the pointed end, and the shadow on the air cell side has also expanded, but blood vessels are visible on the air cell side. The fetal movement is still apparent, but the displacement is smaller due to the increased size of the embryo.

[0109] On day 18 of incubation, the air cell is observed to be larger when the egg is candled. The pointed end is completely dark, and the blood vessels are visible about 1 cm below the air cell, with one side being bright red and the other side being slightly darker.

[0110] On day 19 of incubation, when the egg is candled, it is observed that the shadow of the embryo on one side almost reaches the lower edge of the air cell, and there is more space on the other side. The fetal movement is observed to be apparent and active.

[0111] On day 20 of incubation, compared to day 19 of incubation, the blood vessels are observed to be darker and thicker.

[0112] On day 21 of incubation, the air cell is observed to be larger and the edge is more inclined. The embryo almost touches the lower edge of the air cell during fetal movement, but it has not broken through the air cell boundary.

[0113] On day 22 of incubation, the embryo has broken through the boundary of the air cell during fetal movement, but it has not broken through.

[0114] On day 23 of incubation, the air cell is more tilted. A few dark blood vessels can still be seen.

[0115] On day 24 of incubation, the air cell is more tilted, and almost no dark red blood vessels can be seen in the egg.

[0116] On day 25 of incubation, the fetus's body has reached the air cell and turned to lung respiration. The egg can be placed close to the ear to hear the chick's call, and the fetus's beak can also be heard pecking the shell.

[0117] On day 26 of incubation, the air cell end pecks the shell and has broken through. The next step will continue to peck the shell until hatching.

[0118] Through the study of the weight loss curve of the successful hatching of the green-headed diving duck hatchlings in previous years, the regression model of the egg weight and incubation days of the green-headed diving duck is successfully derived: y = -0.2527x + 43.68 (R² = 0.9992), where x is the incubation days and y is the egg weight. As shown in the attached Figure 4 Theoretical weight loss rate database of green-headed diving duck hatchlings during incubation is obtained using the regression model of green-headed diving duck egg weight and incubation days.

[0119] II. Based on the green-headed diving duck embryo development atlas and weight loss model, a reasonable logical matrix classification system is preset

[0120] According to the research results in previous years, by combining the qualitative data of embryo development images with the quantitative data of weight loss rate, a set of gradient, operable, and reasonable logical matrix classification system from "normal monitoring" to "high-risk alarm" is formed, so that this method can surpass simple data display and truly realize expert-level diagnosis and intelligent control. The core classification standards are as follows:

[0121] 1. Normal state

[0122] Development comparison: the standard atlas of embryo development characteristics and the current incubation days is consistent ≥ 90%.

[0123] Weight loss analysis: the deviation between the actual weight loss rate and the theoretical weight loss rate is within ±1.5%.

[0124] Evaluation conclusion: "embryo development and weight loss state are normal."

[0125] Control suggestion: "no adjustment, continue to incubate according to the current parameters."

[0126] 2. Slight abnormality, observation is recommended

[0127] Determination conditions (any one can be met):

[0128] Condition A (slight developmental delay): the development comparison is consistent between 85%-90%, but the weight loss is normal.

[0129] Condition B (Minor deviation in weight loss): Deviation in weight loss rate between ±1.5% and ±3.0%, but with normal development.

[0130] Evaluation Conclusion: "Embryo development is slightly delayed" or "There is a minor deviation in the weight loss rate from the theoretical value".

[0131] Regulation Recommendation: "It is recommended to strengthen observation, focusing on the development trend in the next evaluation period. The incubation parameters can be temporarily adjusted."

[0132] 3. Active intervention is required

[0133] Decision Conditions and Recommendations:

[0134] (1) Excessive weight loss

[0135] Decision Condition: Actual weight loss rate is greater than the theoretical weight loss rate, with a deviation of >3.0%, and the embryo development state is normal or delayed;

[0136] Evaluation Conclusion: "Ovum loses weight too fast, with the risk of dehydration."

[0137] Regulation Recommendation: "Immediately increase the humidity of the incubation environment (such as recommended increase of 3%-5% RH). Consider short (1-2 seconds) warm water spray or transfer to a high humidity gradient incubator for incubation before the next airing of eggs."

[0138] (2) Weight loss is too slow

[0139] Decision Condition: Actual weight loss rate is less than the theoretical weight loss rate, with a deviation of <3.0%, and the embryo development state is normal or delayed;

[0140] Evaluation Conclusion: "Ovum weight loss is insufficient, which may lead to limited embryo development space or late asphyxia."

[0141] Regulation Recommendation: "Appropriately reduce the humidity of the incubation environment (recommended reduction of 2%-4% RH) to accelerate water evaporation, and consider increasing the airing frequency to twice a day to improve gas exchange."

[0142] (3) Development delay with abnormal weight loss

[0143] Decision Condition: Development alignment degree is <85%, and accompanied by any type of abnormal weight loss.

[0144] Evaluation Conclusion: "Embryo development is delayed, accompanied by abnormal weight loss, and the incubation environment may not be suitable."

[0145] Regulation Recommendation: "First, adjust the humidity according to the recommendations in (1) or (2) above. At the same time, strictly check and ensure that the incubation temperature is stable at a core temperature of 37.5°C ±0.1°C."

[0146] 4. Serious abnormalities / high-risk alarm

[0147] Determination condition (any of the following conditions can be met):

[0148] Condition C (development arrest / death): In two consecutive assessments, the embryo development image shows no progress or shows obvious signs of death such as blood ring, sticky shell, etc.

[0149] Condition D (severe weight loss out of control): The absolute value of weight loss rate deviation is greater than 5%, and the development is severely delayed.

[0150] Condition E (complex severe problem): Severe development delay (conformity <80%) accompanied by severe weight loss abnormalities.

[0151] Evaluation conclusion: "high risk of embryo development arrest" or "severe imbalance of hatching environment".

[0152] Regulation suggestion: "high risk alarm! It is recommended to perform artificial egg inspection immediately to confirm the viability of the embryo. If it is confirmed to be alive, an emergency intervention plan needs to be implemented: thoroughly check the accuracy of the temperature and humidity sensor, adjust the humidity to the theoretical median value, and prepare possible artificial delivery plans. The egg needs to be managed separately."

[0166] Six, Example 1

[0167] An animal park carries out an artificial breeding project of Shanhoutian duck, and has a batch of high-quality species eggs with known exact egg laying dates. The goal is to realize fine and data-based management, and improve the overall hatching rate and healthy chick rate.

[0168] 1. Standardized hatching:

[0169] After weighing and photographing all the species eggs, they are put into the incubator one by one for incubation, numbered, and aired at a fixed time every day.

[0170] 2. Intelligent egg airing evaluation:

[0171] The routine daily 10 o'clock starting airing eggs, the operator clicks on the egg and the airing device "start / boot", the main control mechanism control environment control mechanism to start, make internal environment adjustment to 27 ℃. Subsequently, the operator sequentially each egg in the incubator into the upper part of the weighing sensor 12 egg tray 13, weighing and image acquisition, and then placed in the airing rack 17 for airing. At the same time, the operator through the man-machine interaction mechanism corresponding to each egg number input into the main control mechanism, to get each egg embryo development and weight analysis data, these data will be automatically stored in the main control mechanism.

[0172] Take the 18th day egg Z05, egg Z08 as an example:

[0173] (1) for egg Z05: the weight loss rate data calculated after weighing is highly consistent with the theoretical weight loss rate data, and the embryo atlas is basically consistent with the standard atlas in the database. The evaluation result displayed at the human-computer interaction interface is "embryo development and weight loss state are normal", and the control suggestion is "no adjustment, continue to incubate according to the current parameters".

[0174] (2) for egg Z08: the weight loss rate data calculated after weighing shows that it loses weight too fast. At the same time, the embryo atlas comparison found that the embryo activity is slightly weak, and the blood vessel color is deep. The evaluation conclusion displayed at the human-computer interaction interface is: "the egg loses weight too fast, there is a risk of dehydration." It belongs to the level of active intervention, and the control suggestion is: "immediately increase the environmental humidity of subsequent incubation (such as increasing 3-5% RH); or consider spraying warm water on the egg before the next airing (for a short time of 1-2 seconds); or replace it to the high humidity gradient incubator for incubation, to slow down the water loss."

[0175] 3, effect and data value:

[0176] The breeder immediately took "humidification" measures for Z08. In the following evaluation, the weight loss rate of Z08 was effectively curbed, although it did not completely return to the theoretical curve, but successfully passed the last critical period and hatched smoothly.

[0177] 4, after the incubation, the system exported the complete data report of all eggs, including daily weight loss curve, key development node image, etc.

[0178] In this embodiment, by analyzing the data of Z08, the zoo optimized the emergency plan for similar situations, and accumulated valuable standardized data for future breeding work.

[0179] Seven, example 2

[0180] A wild wetland reserve found a discarded green-headed diving duck egg, which may be in the development period, the staff moved it to the artificial incubator, but due to the uncertainty of the exact egg laying date and the early development conditions, the incubation is uncertain. The method according to the present application is specifically operated as follows:

[0181] 1. Incubation and record:

[0182] After cleaning and disinfecting the rescued egg, it is numbered A01 and placed in the egg checking and airing device for weighing and photographing. The weight is 41.153g, and the development days of A01 egg are the 10th day according to the comparison of the photograph atlas. The most suitable temperature and humidity conditions for 10 days of incubation are used for incubation.

[0183] 2. First intelligent egg airing evaluation (estimated 11th day):

[0184] The next day, A01 egg is placed in the egg checking and airing device again for weighing and photographing. The weight is 40.80g, and the actual weight loss rate is 0.86%. Compared with the theoretical weight loss rate (0.614%) on the 11th day, the weight loss is slightly larger. According to the comparison of the photograph atlas and the embryo picture on the 11th day in the database, the degree of yolk sac membrane blood vessel convergence of A01 egg embryo is slightly lower than the standard, and the evaluation result is "slight delay of embryo development, and slight deviation of egg weight loss rate". The control suggestion is: "it is suggested to appropriately increase the humidity of the incubator in the subsequent incubation to promote normal weight loss; and ensure that the incubation temperature is stable at the standard value, and continue to observe."

[0185] 3. Effect verification:

[0186] The operator adjusts the humidity of the incubator according to the control suggestion. In the subsequent two days of egg airing evaluation, the system shows that the weight loss rate of the egg gradually returns to the theoretical curve, and the delayed development image disappears after comparison, and the evaluation result is "normal development". Finally, the wild rescued egg is successfully incubated into a healthy duckling.

[0187] This embodiment avoids the blindness of completely relying on experience by first objectively evaluating the uncertainty of the wild abandoned nest egg; it also continuously and accurately detects the development and weight loss of the egg in the middle of incubation, discovers the composite problem of "delayed development" and "abnormal weight loss" in time, and effectively corrects it by adjusting the humidity, avoiding the occurrence of dead fetus in the later period. The method combined with the use of the device can truly reduce the technical threshold, so that even the rescuers who lack experience in incubating green-headed diving ducks can also operate professionally according to the clear guidance of the system.

[0188] The application provides a method for improving the artificial hatching success rate of Aythya baieviana eggs, which can realize rapid and non-destructive detection of multiple eggs, greatly save labor, realize high efficiency and batch management. In addition, the method can accurately identify individual abnormal eggs in batch hatching and provide individualized regulation scheme to realize "one-to-one" nursing and improve the overall hatching rate.

[0189] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the present application in any form. Those skilled in the art can make some simple modifications, equivalent changes or modifications by using the disclosed technical content, which are within the protection scope of the present application.
