Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of animal husbandry technology, specifically to an automated dairy cow veterinary management and analysis system. Background Technology

[0002] Animal husbandry refers to the use of the physiological functions of animals such as livestock and poultry to transform plant resources such as pasture and feed into livestock products such as meat, eggs, milk, wool, hides, and down through artificial feeding and breeding. It also covers the entire chain of production activities, including related breeding, disease prevention and control, and management of breeding facilities. It is an important part of agricultural production and a key industry for ensuring the supply of animal food for humans and providing industrial raw materials.

[0003] As one of the core sectors of animal husbandry, dairy farming's production efficiency and economic benefits are highly dependent on the health of dairy cows. Veterinary management, as a key link in ensuring the health of dairy cows, covers the entire process of disease diagnosis, treatment implementation, data recording and analysis. However, the existing management model has many technical limitations and is difficult to adapt to the needs of large-scale and refined farming.

[0004] However, current dairy cow veterinary diagnosis and treatment largely rely on the experience of individual veterinarians and lack a unified standardized system: there are no clear multi-dimensional reference standards for disease diagnosis. For common diseases such as mastitis and ketosis, different veterinarians may make a judgment based on a single symptom, such as abnormal milk or elevated body temperature, ignoring test indicators such as blood ketone levels, inflammatory factor levels, and key differentiation points such as the differences in the incidence of infectious and non-infectious diseases among different groups, which can easily lead to misdiagnosis or missed diagnosis. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an automated dairy cow veterinary management and analysis system, which solves the problem that current dairy cow veterinary diagnosis and treatment relies heavily on the experience of individual veterinarians and lacks a unified standardized system.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: an automated dairy cow veterinary management and analysis system, comprising a standard management module, a disease reporting module, a treatment execution module, and a data analysis module. Each module interacts with data and transmits instructions through a unified data transmission protocol, forming a closed-loop management system for the entire process. The standard management module is used to provide standardized benchmarks for disease diagnosis and treatment and supports dynamic updates; The disease reporting module is used to accurately input cattle disease information and establish case files; The treatment execution module is used to match standard prescriptions based on case information and execute a traceable treatment process; The data analysis module is used to perform multi-dimensional analysis of the entire process data and generate visual reports and anomaly warnings.

[0007] Preferably, the standard management module includes a standard disease database and a standard prescription database. The standard disease database contains diagnostic criteria for common dairy cow diseases. The standard prescription database and the standard disease database are interconnected. Each type of disease corresponds to at least one standardized treatment plan. The system supports administrators to regularly update the database through the backend and generate version logs.

[0008] Preferably, the disease reporting module includes an OCR ear tag recognition unit and a case filing unit. The OCR ear tag recognition unit supports automatic recognition of cow ear tags, and supports manual supplementation and marking when recognition fails. The case filing unit automatically retrieves the cow's basic file based on the ear tag recognized by OCR, and supports veterinarians to select matching disease types, supplement symptom data and generate a unique case ID.

[0009] Preferably, the OCR ear number recognition unit of the disease reporting module integrates a high-definition camera, with an automatic ear number recognition accuracy of ≥98% and a recognition time of ≤2 seconds, which can effectively and quickly recognize ear numbers.

[0010] Preferably, the case ID of the disease reporting module adopts the format of farm code-ear number-date of onset-serial number, where the serial number is the serial number of the disease record of the cow with that ear number on that day.

[0011] Preferably, the case information includes core fields such as ear number, onset date, disease type, symptom description, diagnosing veterinarian, and case ID, and supports fuzzy search and precise retrieval by ear number or case ID, with a retrieval response time of ≤1 second.

[0012] Preferably, the treatment execution module includes a prescription matching unit, a drug traceability unit, and a treatment record unit. The prescription matching unit automatically retrieves standard prescriptions based on the disease type associated with the case ID, and supports veterinarians submitting prescription adjustment requests in special circumstances. The drug traceability unit verifies the consistency between the scanned drug and the prescription-recommended drug by scanning the drug traceability code. If they are consistent, it automatically records the drug collection information and binds it to the case ID. The treatment record unit supports veterinarians in entering treatment process data and associating it with the case ID.

[0013] Preferably, the data analysis module includes a data acquisition unit, a multi-dimensional analysis unit, and a report output unit. The data acquisition unit collects all data from each module and forms a structured database. The multi-dimensional analysis unit supports automatic calculation of single-cattle dimension, prescription dimension, and correlation analysis dimension. The report output unit supports generating visual reports and setting anomaly warnings.

[0014] This invention provides an automated dairy cow veterinary management and analysis system. It has the following beneficial effects: 1. This invention constructs a standardized system for the entire "diagnosis-treatment" process through a standard management module: the standard disease database defines disease diagnosis criteria from three dimensions: "typical symptoms, detection indicators, and identification points", and includes a symptom image database to assist in intuitive judgment, reducing misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis caused by differences in experience.

[0015] 2. The OCR ear tag recognition unit of the disease reporting module of this invention (accuracy ≥98%, time ≤2 seconds) quickly completes the identification of cattle and automatically retrieves the basic file to generate a case ID (including farm code, ear tag and other information), which greatly shortens the filing time (filing time for a single dairy cow ≤1 minute) and reduces manual input errors; the treatment execution module binds data such as drug collection and administration operations with the case ID through "prescription automatic matching - drug scanning traceability - treatment record association", so as to realize the traceability of each step of diagnosis and treatment behavior.

[0016] 3. Leveraging the data analysis module to unlock data value and facilitate proactive management in farms: The multi-dimensional analysis unit supports in-depth analysis at the single-cattle and prescription levels, clearly presenting key indicators such as veterinary work efficiency and drug cost-effectiveness; the report output unit generates visual reports, intuitively displaying trends such as disease incidence and prescription adjustment rates; the anomaly warning function (triggered when disease incidence increases by ≥10% or prescription adjustment rate increases by ≥30%) can promptly identify potential problems. For example, when the disease incidence rate in a certain area suddenly increases, managers can quickly investigate environmental and feed-related causes and take preventative measures in advance.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] Example: Please see the appendix Figure 1 This invention provides an automated dairy cow veterinary management and analysis system, characterized by including a standard management module, a disease reporting module, a treatment execution module, and a data analysis module. Each module achieves data interaction and instruction transmission through a unified data transmission protocol, forming a closed-loop management process. The standard management module provides standardized disease diagnosis and treatment guidelines and supports dynamic updates. It includes a standard disease database and a standard prescription database. The standard disease database contains diagnostic criteria for common dairy cow diseases (such as mastitis, ketosis, and foot rot), rare diseases (such as bovine leukemia and listeriosis), and infectious diseases (such as foot-and-mouth disease and brucellosis). Diagnostic criteria are further subdivided into "typical symptoms (such as flocculent milk sediment and fever in mastitis), detection indicators (such as blood ketone levels ≥1.2 mmol / L in ketosis), and key differentiation points (such as distinguishing between infectious and non-infectious mastitis in herds of disease)." The system is structured around three dimensions: disease characteristics, symptoms, and disease features. It also includes a symptom image library for different disease stages. The standard prescription library and the standard disease library are interconnected. Each disease corresponds to at least one standardized treatment plan. Differentiated sub-plans are configured for different physiological stages of dairy cows (lactation / drying / pregnant cows / calves), weight ranges (<300kg / 300-500kg / >500kg), and disease severity (mild / moderate / severe). The plan includes the recommended generic name of the drug, the precise dosage calculated by body weight (e.g., 0.1ml / kg body weight), the method of administration (intravenous injection / mammary infusion, etc.), the duration of treatment, and the withdrawal period requirements. Administrators can regularly update the system through the backend and generate version logs. The disease reporting module is used to accurately input cattle disease information and create case files. The disease reporting module includes an OCR ear tag recognition unit and a case file creation unit. The OCR ear tag recognition unit supports automatic recognition of cow ear tags. If recognition fails, manual input and marking are supported. The case file creation unit automatically retrieves the basic cattle file based on the ear tag recognized by OCR. It supports veterinarians to select matching disease types, supplement symptom data, and generate a unique case ID. The OCR ear tag recognition unit of the disease reporting module integrates a high-definition camera, with an automatic ear tag recognition accuracy of ≥98% and a recognition time of ≤2 seconds, which can effectively and quickly identify ear tags.

[0020] The case ID in the disease reporting module adopts the format of farm code-ear number-date of onset-serial number, where the serial number is the serial number of the disease record of the cow with that ear number on that day; The case information includes core fields such as ear number, onset date, disease type, symptom description, diagnosing veterinarian, and case ID. It supports fuzzy search and precise retrieval by ear number or case ID, with a search response time of ≤1 second. The treatment execution module is used to match standard prescriptions based on case information and execute a traceable treatment process. The module includes a prescription matching unit, a drug traceability unit, and a treatment record unit. The prescription matching unit automatically retrieves the standard prescription based on the disease type associated with the case ID, and supports veterinarians submitting prescription adjustment requests in special circumstances. The drug traceability unit verifies the consistency between the scanned drug and the prescription-recommended drug by scanning the drug traceability code; if they match, it automatically records the medication dispensing information and binds it to the case ID. The treatment record unit allows veterinarians to enter treatment process data and associate it with the case ID. The data analysis module is used to perform multi-dimensional analysis of the entire process data and generate visual reports and anomaly warnings. The data analysis module includes a data acquisition unit, a multi-dimensional analysis unit, and a report output unit. The data acquisition unit collects all data from each module and forms a structured database; the multi-dimensional analysis unit supports automatic calculation of single-cattle and prescription dimensions, as well as correlation analysis dimensions; the report output unit supports generating visual reports and setting anomaly warnings. In the multi-dimensional analysis unit of the data analysis module, the following symbolic formulas are used for calculation: in: The number of cured cases using this prescription, The total number of cases using this prescription is determined by the cure criteria, which are consistent with the cure indicators for the corresponding diseases in the standard disease database. The cost of treatment for a single cow is: in: The actual dose received This refers to the unit price of the drug. The service fee is calculated based on a fixed standard per treatment session; in: This represents the actual quantity consumed. This refers to the unit price of consumables; Expense data is automatically synchronized to the farm's financial system, with a synchronization frequency of ≤1 hour / time. The abnormal alerts set in the report output unit of the data analysis module are triggered based on the following symbolic formulas: Abnormal disease incidence: Disease incidence rate = An alert is triggered when the disease incidence rate in a certain aquaculture area increases by ≥10% within a single statistical period compared to the previous period. This represents the number of cattle that fell ill in the area. This represents the total number of animals in the area. Abnormal prescription adjustment rate: Prescription adjustment rate = An alert is triggered when a veterinarian's prescription adjustment rate is ≥30% within a single statistical period. The number of times the veterinarian's prescription is adjusted. Total number of prescriptions issued to the veterinarian.
