Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of intelligent feeder control technology, and in particular to an intelligent feeder control method, device, equipment and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] In the wave of intelligent livestock farming, the demand for precision feeding technology in the pig farming industry is becoming increasingly urgent, and intelligent feeding systems have become core equipment for improving breeding efficiency and reducing costs. The breeding efficiency of growing-finishing pigs is closely related to the feeding program, which requires precise matching of nutrient supply with the pigs' growth rhythm and digestive characteristics. Therefore, the scientific configuration of feeding parameters has become the key to intelligent feeding technology.

[0003] Currently, various intelligent feeding technology solutions have emerged in the market. Some solutions focus on the architecture of intelligent group feeding systems, featuring local servers, cloud interaction, and remote control capabilities, but do not provide a specific dynamic parameter configuration system for the entire life cycle of growing and finishing pigs. Some solutions adopt a centralized mixing wet feed feeding mode, achieving feeding by pre-mixing feed and water. Other solutions focus on precise individual feeding of pregnant sows, designing low-frequency feeding strategies based on touch sensors.

[0004] However, the core problem with existing technologies is the lack of a dynamic parameter system that is deeply coupled with the hardware of intelligent feeding equipment and adapted to the group rearing scenario and rapid growth needs of growing and finishing pigs. Most existing parameters are static and isolated settings, which cannot achieve the synergy between equipment functions and pig growth curves, thus restricting the maximization of economic benefits in farming.

[0024] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, 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 of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0025] Figure 1 A flowchart illustrating a smart feeder control method provided in this application embodiment. (In conjunction with...) Figure 1 As shown in the embodiments of this application, the intelligent feeder control method may include the following steps. This method is mainly applied to the entire growth cycle of growing-finishing pigs (from 21 days of age to slaughter). By scientifically configuring and dynamically adjusting feeding parameters, the feeding is precisely matched with the growth needs of the pigs.

[0026] S101. Obtain a preset set of feeding control parameters for the intelligent feeder, the set of feeding control parameters including feed-water sequence, feeding mode, feeding frequency, feed-water ratio, feeding curve and feeding interval parameters.

[0027] The set of control parameters is a complete system pre-set based on the physiological characteristics, nutritional needs, and breeding practice data of growing-finishing pigs at different growth stages. These parameters work together synergistically to provide a basis for the precise operation of the intelligent feeder. The feed-water sequence and feeding mode are fixed settings to ensure the stability of the core feeding logic; the feeding frequency, feed-water ratio, feeding curve, and feeding interval are dynamically set according to the age and growth stage of the pigs to adapt to their differentiated needs at different growth stages. This parameter set can be retrieved through the intelligent feeder's local storage module or downloaded from a cloud server via an IoT platform, ensuring convenient and accurate parameter acquisition.

[0028] S102. Based on the set of feeding control parameters, control the intelligent feeder to perform feeding operations, and at the same time collect the feeding data of the feeding object.

[0029] The intelligent feeder features a dual-path synchronous feed and water delivery module, a timed and quantitative control module, and a real-time feed data acquisition module. These modules work together to ensure that feeding operations are executed precisely according to preset parameters. The real-time feed data acquisition module captures relevant information during the pigs' feeding process, including but not limited to clearing speed, feeding duration, and remaining feed amount. This data directly reflects the pigs' feeding intentions and nutritional needs, providing data support for subsequent parameter adjustments.

[0030] The feed-water sequence in the set of control parameters is set to synchronous feed-water delivery. Synchronous feed-water delivery refers to maintaining temporal and spatial consistency between feed and water during the feeding process, ensuring they mix instantly upon arrival at the feeding area. This aims to balance the palatability of wet feed with the guarantee of feed freshness. Controlling the intelligent feeder based on the set of control parameters involves controlling the dual-path delivery module of the intelligent feeder to drive feed and water to arrive at the feeding area synchronously in time and space, according to the synchronous feed-water delivery method. Specifically, the dual-path delivery module is connected to the feed storage unit and the water source respectively. Through internal precision control circuitry, the operating speed and start-up timing of the feed conveying screw and water pump are adjusted to ensure that when feed is discharged from the outlet, water also flows out from the water outlet simultaneously, and the two are mixed after falling into the feed tray. For example, during the feeding of 21-day-old pigs, the dual-channel conveyor module starts synchronously according to a preset program, delivering feed at a rate of 5 grams per second and water at a rate of 12.5 milliliters per second, achieving a feed-to-water ratio of 1:2.5 for synchronous mixing. This method avoids the problems of clumping, rancidity, and mold caused by pre-mixing of feed in traditional centralized stirring feeding, while also improving the pigs' willingness to eat and ensuring feeding hygiene and pig health.

[0031] The feeding frequency in the set of control parameters is divided into increasing intervals according to the growth stage of the pig. The feeding frequency refers to the number of times the intelligent feeder performs feeding operations per day. Dividing the feeding frequency into increasing intervals according to growth stage is designed based on the physiological characteristics of growing and finishing pigs, which have short digestive tracts and require small, frequent meals. The purpose is to reduce the digestive burden on pigs per feeding and promote continuous nutrient absorption. The control of the intelligent feeder to perform feeding operations based on the set of control parameters includes performing feeding at the following frequencies within the increasing intervals: 6 times / day for pigs aged 21-49 days, 8 times / day for pigs aged 50-75 days, 8 times / day for pigs aged 76-100 days, and 10 times / day for pigs aged 101 days to slaughter. In practice, the timed and quantitative control module has a built-in timing unit that starts the feeding program according to preset time nodes. For example, during the 21-49 day stage, the daily feeding time nodes can be set to 6:00, 9:00, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00, and 21:00, with the duration of each feeding determined based on the feed intake per pig during that stage. From 101 days to the slaughter stage, two additional feeding nodes are added at 1:00 AM and 4:00 AM to the original eight feedings to meet the nutritional needs of the pigs during their rapid growth later on. This high-frequency feeding method, which increases with age, can maintain the pigs' intestinal health, avoid digestive stress caused by excessive feeding at a single time, and improve growth rate and feed conversion efficiency.

[0032] The feed-to-water ratio in the set of control parameters is divided into gradient decreasing intervals according to the growth stage of the pigs. The feed-to-water ratio refers to the mass-to-volume ratio of feed and water during feeding. The gradient decreasing setting is to adapt to the gradually increasing intestinal digestive capacity and changing water demand of pigs as they grow older. A higher water ratio in the early stage is conducive to digestion transition, while a lower water ratio in the later stage is conducive to increasing dry matter intake. The feeding operation of the intelligent feeder controlled by the set of control parameters includes: delivering feed and water according to the following ratios in the gradient decreasing intervals: from 1:2.5 to 1:2.0 for the 21-25 day age stage, 1:2.0 for the 26-35 day age stage, 1:1.8 for the 36-42 day age stage, 1:1.6 for the 43-48 day age stage, 1:1.5 for the 49-75 day age stage, and 1:1.5 for the 76 day age to the slaughter stage. In practice, the intelligent feeder's dual-path synchronous feed-water delivery module determines the corresponding feed-to-water ratio based on the pig's current age. This ratio is controlled by adjusting the feed and water delivery volumes. For example, at 21 days old, the ratio is 1:2.5, with 250 ml of water delivered for every 100 grams of feed. At 25 days old, the ratio gradually transitions to 200 ml of water per 100 grams of feed, with the water delivery volume reduced by 10 ml per 100 grams of feed daily during this transition. This dynamically adjusted feed-to-water ratio ensures that pigs meet their water needs and maintain digestible feed in the early weaning stage, while also increasing dry matter intake during the fattening period, providing sufficient nutrition for rapid growth and reducing digestive problems caused by improper feed-to-water ratios.

[0033] The feeding mode in the set of control parameters is set to a quantitative feeding mode. Quantitative feeding mode refers to a feeding method that presets a fixed feeding amount based on the pig's growth stage and adjusts it according to actual feeding behavior. Its core principle is to avoid feed waste while meeting nutritional needs. Controlling the intelligent feeder to perform feeding operations based on the set of control parameters includes: feeding according to the preset feeding amount in the quantitative feeding mode, and dynamically adjusting the preset feeding amount based on collected feeding data. The preset feeding amount is calculated based on the nutritional standards and growth rate of growing-finishing pigs at different stages. For example, the preset daily feeding amount for a 21-day-old pig is 100 grams, gradually increasing with age. After each feeding, the real-time feeding data acquisition module detects the amount of remaining feed in the feed tray. If the remaining amount exceeds 10% of the preset feeding amount for three consecutive times, the next feeding amount is reduced by 5%. If the feed tray is emptied within one hour of the start of feeding, and the pig is still feeding, the next feeding amount is increased by 3%. This model ensures an adequate supply of nutrients for pig growth while minimizing feed waste and improving the utilization rate of breeding resources.

[0034] The feeding interval in the set of control parameters is set to 2-5 minutes. The feeding interval refers to the time interval between multiple feeding operations during a single feeding cycle. This interval is gradually shortened with increasing age to better simulate the natural feeding behavior of pigs. Controlling the intelligent feeder based on the set of control parameters involves controlling feeding in multiple batches according to the feeding interval. Specifically, after a single feeding cycle begins, the timed and quantitative control module delivers feed in batches according to the preset feeding interval. For example, at 21 days of age, the feeding interval is 5 minutes, and a single feeding is completed in 3 batches, with each batch containing 1 / 3 of the total feed amount. As the pigs grow older, the feeding interval gradually shortens, reaching 2 minutes after 101 days of age, with a single feeding completed in 5 batches. This multi-batch feeding method avoids the waste and contamination caused by feed piling up in the feed tray at once, while ensuring that pigs can eat fresh feed throughout the feeding cycle, maintaining their continuous feeding interest and further improving feed utilization.

[0035] S103. Dynamically adjust the parameters in the set of feeding control parameters based on the feeding data.

[0036] Dynamic correction refers to the real-time optimization of adjustable parameters in the set of feeding control parameters based on feed intake data, ensuring that feeding parameters always align with the actual growth needs of pigs. This is a key step in achieving precision feeding. Data such as clearing speed and feeding duration acquired through the real-time feed intake data acquisition module can reflect the pigs' digestive capacity and feeding willingness, providing a reliable basis for parameter correction.

[0037] The feeding curve in the set of feeding control parameters is based on a baseline daily feed intake increased by 5% to 15%. This feeding curve describes the change in daily feed intake of pigs with age. The baseline daily feed intake refers to the average daily feed intake of growing-finishing pigs under standard breeding conditions. The increase is to reserve sufficient nutritional redundancy to meet the individual growth differences of the pigs. The dynamic correction of the parameters in the set of feeding control parameters based on feed intake data includes: adaptively adjusting the feeding curve based on the feed intake data. For example, if feed intake data shows that the actual finishing speed of the pigs is 20% slower than the preset speed for two consecutive days, it indicates that the feed intake corresponding to the current feeding curve exceeds the pigs' digestive capacity. In this case, the increase percentage of the feeding curve is reduced by 3%. If it is detected that the pigs still have a strong need to eat based on the feed intake corresponding to the feeding curve, and the finishing speed is 30% faster than the preset speed, the increase percentage is increased by 2%. Through this dynamic adjustment, both the adequacy of nutritional supply and the avoidance of intestinal burden caused by overfeeding are ensured, making the feeding curve more closely match the individual growth patterns of the pigs.

[0038] To more clearly illustrate the practical application logic of the control method of this application, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the specific matching relationship between the feed intake and feeding interval of a single pig throughout the entire growth cycle of growing-finishing pigs. This matching relationship is an important component of the set of control parameters of this application, and works in conjunction with parameters such as feed-to-water ratio and feeding frequency to achieve precise feeding.

[0039] In the specific implementation of this application, the feed intake per head is set based on the nutritional needs of growing-finishing pigs at different ages, while the feeding interval is adjusted in close accordance with the evolution of the pigs' digestive capacity. The two exhibit a regular dynamic adaptation change, as detailed below: Between 21 and 30 days of age, piglets are in the early stages of weaning, and their digestive system has not yet fully adapted to solid feed. The feed intake per piglet gradually increases from 100 grams to 299 grams, with a feeding interval of 5.0 minutes. This slower feeding pace and gradually increasing intake ensure that piglets can smoothly adapt to the feeding pattern, consume sufficient feed, and avoid digestive stress. Between 31 and 40 days of age, the piglets' digestive capacity begins to improve, and the feed intake per piglet increases from 346 grams to 501 grams. The feeding interval is adjusted accordingly to 4.5 minutes, while still meeting nutritional needs. While meeting growing demand, the diet also adapts to improved digestive efficiency. From 41 to 50 days old, pigs grow rapidly, further increasing their nutritional needs. The feed intake per head increases from 518 grams to 672 grams, and the feeding interval is shortened to 4.0 minutes to ensure timely nutrient supply. From 51 to 60 days old, pigs enter a rapid growth phase, with the feed intake per head increasing from 689 grams to 844 grams. The feeding interval is set at 3.5 minutes to further optimize feeding efficiency and match the nutrient supply rhythm required for rapid growth. From 61 to 80 days old, pigs… As growth stabilizes, feed intake per head gradually increases from 861 grams to 1232 grams, with a feeding interval of 3.0 minutes to maintain a stable feeding rhythm and promote steady improvement in nutrient absorption and growth performance. From 81 to 100 days of age, pigs enter the mid-finishing stage, and nutritional needs continue to rise, with feed intake per head increasing from 1259 grams to 1769 grams. The feeding interval is adjusted to 2.5 minutes to meet the rapid growth requirements of the mid-finishing stage. From 101 to 140 days of age, pigs are in the late-finishing stage, and their nutritional needs reach their peak. Feed intake increases from 1796 grams to 2844 grams, with the feeding interval shortened to 2.0 minutes, maximizing nutritional supply in the later stages of fattening and providing sufficient support for weight gain. From 141 to 153 days of age, the pigs' weight approaches the slaughter standard, and the growth rate slows down. The feed intake per pig stabilizes at 2800 grams, with the feeding interval maintained at 2.0 minutes to ensure stable nutritional supply. From 154 to 190 days of age, the feed intake per pig increases to 2900 grams, with the feeding interval still maintained at 2.0 minutes until the pigs are slaughtered, ensuring sufficient nutritional reserves before slaughter.

[0040] The dynamic matching settings for feed intake per head and feeding intervals mentioned above are precisely formulated based on the physiological characteristics, digestive capacity, and nutritional needs of growing and finishing pigs at different ages. By adjusting the feeding intervals in stages and coordinating with the corresponding feed intake standards, it not only avoids the waste and pollution caused by feed accumulation in the feed tray, but also continuously maintains the pigs' interest in eating, ensuring sufficient intake and efficient absorption of nutrients. Together with other parameters such as feed-to-water ratio and feeding frequency, it provides key support for optimizing feeding effects, further verifying the scientific nature and practicality of the set of feeding control parameters in this application.

[0041] To verify the technical effectiveness of the control method of this application, a control experiment was also set up to compare the breeding effect with that of traditional feeding methods and clarify the advantages of the method of this application.

[0042] (I) Experimental Design

[0043] Experimental subjects: Growing-finishing pigs with similar health conditions and weights were selected as experimental subjects and divided into an intelligent feeding group and a traditional feeding group (stainless steel feed trough group). The intelligent feeding group had a sample size of 850 pigs with an initial average weight of 5.95 kg; the traditional feeding group had a sample size of 1697 pigs with an initial average weight of 5.87 kg. The rearing environment (temperature, humidity, ventilation, etc.) and basic feed formula were kept consistent for both groups to ensure the fairness of the experiment.

[0044] Feeding equipment and parameters: (1) Intelligent feeding group: The intelligent feeder is equipped with a dual-path synchronous feed and water conveying module, a timed and quantitative control module and a real-time feed data acquisition module. The feeding is strictly carried out in accordance with the control method of steps S101-S103 of this application. The specific parameters are as follows: ① Feed-to-water ratio: From 1:2.5 to 1:2.0 (gradient 0.1) during the 21-25 day age stage; 1:2.0 during the 26-35 day age stage; 1:1.8 during the 36-42 day age stage; 1:1.6 during the 43-48 day age stage; 1:1.5 during the 49-75 day age stage; and 1:1.5 during the 76 day age to the slaughter stage.

[0045] ② Feeding frequency: 6 times / day for the 21-49 day age stage; 8 times / day for the 50-75 day age stage; 8 times / day for the 76-100 day age stage; 10 times / day for the 101 day age stage to the slaughter stage.

[0046] ③ Material and water sequence: Material and water are conveyed synchronously, controlled by a dual-path conveying module.

[0047] ④ Feeding mode: Quantitative feeding mode, with dynamic fine-tuning of feeding amount based on feed intake data.

[0048] ⑤ Feeding curve: Increase the daily dry feed intake by 10%, and follow the matching relationship between the feed intake per head and the feeding interval as mentioned above.

[0049] ⑥ Feeding interval: 2-5 minutes, gradually shortened as the material ages, in accordance with the aforementioned matching relationship.

[0050] (2) Traditional feeding group: Traditional stainless steel feed troughs are used, and the feeding mode is adopted. Only dry feed is fed, and no dynamic parameter adjustment or feeding data collection and feedback is performed.

[0051] Experimental period: Starting from 21 days of age of the pigs and continuing until the pigs reach slaughter weight (around 125kg).

[0052] Testing indicators: After the experiment, the feed conversion ratio, meat production cost and ROF (feed conversion efficiency related indicators) of the two groups of pigs were statistically analyzed as the core basis for evaluating the feeding effect.

[0053] (II) Experimental Results and Analysis

[0054] After the experiment, the breeding effects of the two groups of pigs were statistically compared. The statistical results of the core indicators are shown in the table below:

[0055] The experimental results above show that the intelligent feeding group using the control method of this application reduced the feed conversion ratio by 0.12 compared to the traditional feeding group, reduced the meat production cost by 0.26 yuan / kg, and improved the ROF index by 3 compared to the traditional feeding group. These results fully verify the scientific validity and practicality of the control method of this application: the synchronous feed and water delivery mode fundamentally avoids the risk of feed spoilage associated with traditional centralized mixing feeding; the dynamically adapted feed-to-water ratio and feeding frequency accurately match the physiological needs of growing and finishing pigs at different stages; and the dynamic parameter correction based on feed intake data achieves real-time alignment between nutrient supply and the actual growth needs of the pigs.

[0056] Compared to traditional single-feeding methods, the control method of this application can fully utilize the efficiency of the intelligent feeder without modifying the hardware. This improves feed conversion efficiency, reduces feed waste, lowers breeding costs, and ensures the growth performance of pigs. The experimental results further demonstrate that the dynamic parameter system constructed in this application can achieve deep coupling between the intelligent feeding equipment and pig growth performance, providing practical technical support for the intelligent and refined development of the livestock breeding industry.

[0057] Through the coordinated execution of the above steps, the refinement of specific parameter matching relationships, and the verification of comparative experiments, the intelligent feeder control method of this application can fully leverage the precise control potential of the equipment without modifying the hardware. It not only solves the problems of feed deterioration, waste, and mismatch of nutrient supply in traditional feeding methods, but also adapts to the physiological characteristics of different stages of growing and fattening pigs, ensuring the intestinal health and growth performance of pigs, and providing strong technical support for the intelligent upgrading of the livestock breeding industry.

[0058] The above are some specific implementations of an intelligent feeder control method provided in the embodiments of this application. Based on this, this application also provides a corresponding device. The device provided in the embodiments of this application will be described below from the perspective of functional modularity.

[0059] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an intelligent feeder control device provided in an embodiment of this application. (Combined with...) Figure 2 As shown, the intelligent feeder control device 200 provided in this application embodiment includes: The acquisition unit 210 is used to acquire a preset set of intelligent feeder dispensing control parameters. The set of dispensing control parameters includes feed-water sequence, feeding mode, feeding frequency, feed-water ratio, feeding curve and dispensing interval parameters.

[0060] In one implementation of this application, the feed-water sequence in the set of control parameters is set to synchronous feed-water delivery. The control unit is specifically used to control the dual-path delivery module of the intelligent feeder to drive the feed and water to arrive at the feeding area synchronously in time and space according to the synchronous feed-water delivery method.
