Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of meat duck farming systems, and more particularly to an ecological meat duck farming system. Background Technology
[0002] In the current duck farming sector, traditional farming methods have significant shortcomings in environmental control. Ducks at different growth stages have specific and differentiated environmental requirements; however, most existing farming techniques adopt extensive environmental management strategies, failing to fully consider the unique requirements of ducklings, young ducks, and adult ducks, resulting in a low degree of matching between the farming environment and the needs of ducks at each growth stage. This mismatch directly triggers a series of problems. On the one hand, low feed conversion rates mean that ducks cannot fully absorb nutrients from feed in their current environment, resulting in wasted feed resources and increased farming costs. For example, under unsuitable temperature and humidity conditions, the ducks' metabolism is disrupted, and the activity of digestive enzymes decreases, significantly reducing the efficiency of feed digestion and absorption. On the other hand, the disease risk of ducks increases significantly. Harsh farming environments become breeding grounds for bacteria and viruses. The ducks' immunity is weakened in unsuitable environments, making them susceptible to various diseases such as serositis and avian influenza. Once an outbreak occurs, it not only leads to increased mortality rates among ducks but may also affect the overall production efficiency and product quality of the farm. Existing environmental control technologies for poultry farming lack independent environmental control modules tailored to different growth stages. Most farms are equipped with only one general-purpose environmental control system, which cannot accurately provide suitable temperature, humidity, light, and ventilation conditions for ducks at different growth stages. Furthermore, the lack of a unified intelligent control system makes it difficult to centrally monitor and intelligently adjust environmental parameters in various farming areas, and to respond promptly and accurately to real-time growth status and environmental changes in the ducks. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an innovative duck farming system that divides the management areas into duckling, young duck, and adult duck stages, and sets up an independent environmental control module for each management area that can be controlled by a unified unit. This system can construct an environmental optimization model to achieve precise regulation of the environment in each management area, thereby improving the overall efficiency of duck farming.

[0016] The central control unit is used to construct an environmental optimization model.
