Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of poultry farming technology, specifically to a poultry farming device with monitoring functions for body weight and feed intake. Background Technology

[0002] Feed costs account for over 60% of the total cost of poultry farming. Improving feed utilization efficiency through breeding high-yield, low-feed-consumption breeds, precise nutritional formulation and feeding, and enhanced feeding management efficiency are currently the main ways to reduce costs and increase efficiency in the poultry industry. Among these, in the breeding of high-yield, low-feed-consumption poultry breeds, a key step is to collect data on individual feed intake, body weight gain, and egg weight through single-cage feeding, and then assess the feed utilization efficiency of individual poultry. The key to breakthroughs in feed utilization efficiency measurement lies in improving the quantity, efficiency, and accuracy of basic breeding data such as individual feed intake, body weight gain, and egg weight collection, while reducing the costs of testing equipment and personnel.

[0003] Chinese patent CN213658048U discloses a three-dimensional poultry cage weighing device, comprising several layers of breeding cages, with weighing sensors installed at the four corners of each layer of cages. Four weighing sensors are fixed to the four uprights of the breeding cages. The weighing device also includes a weighing base, which comprises a rectangular frame covered with a support net. The four corners of the rectangular frame are fixedly connected to the four weighing sensors. Poultry live on the weighing base, which, when suspended, does not contact the uprights or the surrounding cage netting, leaving sufficient clearance for movement. However, this device still has the following problems during use: The aforementioned device uses a separate weighing sensor for each cage, which results in high hardware costs for multi-cage farming. The numerous sensor locations also increase maintenance costs. Furthermore, it is inconvenient to monitor the feed intake of poultry accurately.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. At a fixed time every morning, a fixed amount of feed is placed into the separate feeding assembly. The drive assembly controls the reversing assembly to move sequentially from left to right along the transverse guide assembly to the rear of the cage located in front of the base frame. When the drive assembly moves to the rear of the cage, the reversing assembly controls the self-cleaning poultry weighing assembly and the feed weighing assembly to rotate forward, and the feed weighing assembly will also extend forward until it is aligned with the separate feeding assembly. Then, the reversing assembly controls the self-cleaning poultry weighing assembly and the feed weighing assembly to move upward synchronously. The self-cleaning poultry weighing assembly and the feed weighing assembly will then slowly lift the separate bottom mesh assembly and the separate feeding assembly upward, ensuring that the poultry in the cage are properly positioned. No stress response occurs. At this time, the self-cleaning poultry weighing component weighs the poultry in the cage along with the split bottom mesh component and records the data as the initial weight of the poultry for the day. The feed weighing component weighs the feed in the split feeding component and records the data as the initial weight of the feed for the day. After the initial weight of the poultry and the initial weight of the feed for the day are recorded in the cages on the front side of the base frame, the reversing component controls the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and the feed weighing component to rotate 180 degrees backward. Then the drive component controls the reversing component to record the initial weight of the poultry and the initial weight of the feed for the day along the transverse guide component from right to left. 2. When the drive component controls the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and feed weighing component to move from one side of the support beam to the other, the reversing component will control the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and feed weighing component to rotate to the middle of the base frame. This avoids collisions between the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and feed weighing component and the front or rear side of the support beam. This ensures that the support beam can provide good support for the device, while the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and feed weighing component can still avoid the support beam and weigh all poultry and feed installed on the base frame. Furthermore, after each poultry weighing operation, the self-cleaning poultry weighing component will perform self-cleaning, improving the alignment accuracy of the woven bottom net and the subsequent split bottom net components, thereby improving the accuracy of poultry weighing. 3. At a fixed time each evening, the drive component again controls the reversing component to weigh all the separate bottom mesh components in the cages along with the poultry along with the lateral guide component, and records this data as the poultry's weight after feeding that day; it also weighs the separate feeding components and the remaining feed in the separate feeding components, and records this data as the remaining feed weight for that day; and the fixed time point for collecting poultry data each morning is at least eight hours apart from the fixed time point for collecting poultry data the previous evening; the difference between the initial weight of the poultry on the current day and the initial weight of the poultry on the previous day is recorded as the daily weight gain of the poultry; The daily feed intake is recorded as the difference between the initial feed weight and the remaining feed weight. The device then sends data such as the initial weight, initial feed weight, remaining feed weight, daily weight gain, and daily feed intake of each poultry to the farmers, facilitating their monitoring of each bird's feed intake and weight changes. After recording the daily weight gain and feed intake, the farmers clean the remaining feces and feed from the separate bottom net and separate feeding components, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent basic data measurements, which in turn improves poultry feed utilization efficiency, breeding efficiency, and accelerates breeding progress. 4. By combining the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and the feed weighing component, the separate bottom net component and the separate feeding component are easy to disassemble and clean. At the same time, the device can check the feed intake and weight changes of all poultry individuals in the cage with only a single weighing device, which reduces the operating cost of the device.

[0011] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0012] The terms "left," "right," "front," "back," "up," and "down" used in the following description refer to the orientation from the perspective of the front view.

[0013] Example 1: In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1-10 A poultry farming device with weight and feed intake monitoring functions includes a base frame 1, a split-type breeding cage mechanism 2, a transverse reversing mechanism 3, and a synchronous weighing mechanism 4. Several separate breeding cage mechanisms 2 are symmetrically installed on the front and rear sides of the base frame 1 for raising poultry and facilitating monitoring of poultry; The split-type breeding cage mechanism 2 includes a cage body 21, a split-type bottom net assembly, and a split-type feeding assembly; the cage body 21 is fixedly connected to the base frame 1; the split-type bottom net assembly and the split-type feeding assembly are connected to the cage body 21. The cage 21 has open slots on its side walls and top (not shown in the figure); and the front end of the cage 21 is rotatably fitted with a wire door that can be flipped open (not shown in the figure). The transverse reversing mechanism 3, used to control the synchronous weighing mechanism 4 to circulate between different cages 21, is connected to the cages 21 on the left and right sides. The lateral shifting and reversing mechanism 3 includes a lateral shifting guide assembly, a drive assembly, and a reversing assembly; the lateral shifting guide assembly is connected to the cage 21; the drive assembly is connected to the lateral shifting guide assembly; and the reversing assembly is connected to the drive assembly. The synchronous weighing mechanism 4, used for determining the feed conversion rate of individual poultry, is connected to the reversing assembly. The synchronous weighing mechanism 4 includes a self-cleaning poultry weighing component and a feed weighing component; the self-cleaning poultry weighing component is connected to the reversing component; the feed weighing component is connected to the self-cleaning poultry weighing component. Support beams 11 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the base frame 1; In this invention, at a fixed time every morning, a fixed amount of feed is fed into the split-type feeding assembly. The drive assembly controls the reversing assembly to move from left to right along the transverse guide assembly to the rear of the cage 21 located in front of the base frame 1. When the drive assembly moves to the rear of the cage 21, the reversing assembly controls the self-cleaning poultry weighing assembly and the feed weighing assembly to rotate forward, and the feed weighing assembly also extends forward until it is aligned with the split feeding assembly. Then, the reversing component controls the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and the feed weighing component to move upwards synchronously. The self-cleaning poultry weighing component and the feed weighing component will slowly lift the split bottom mesh component and the split feeding component upwards to ensure that the poultry in the cage 21 will not experience stress. At this time, the self-cleaning poultry weighing component will weigh the split bottom mesh component together with the poultry in the cage 21 and record the data as the initial weight of the poultry on that day. The feed weighing component will weigh the split feeding component together with the feed inside and record the data as the initial weight of the feed on that day. After the initial weight of the poultry and the initial weight of the feed for the day are recorded in the front cage 21 of the base frame 1, the reversing component controls the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and the feed weighing component to rotate 180 degrees backward; then the drive component controls the reversing component to record the initial weight of the poultry and the initial weight of the feed for the day in the rear cage 21 of the base frame 1 from right to left along the transverse guide component. Furthermore, when the drive component controls the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and the feed weighing component to move from one side of the support beam 11 to the other side, the reversing component will control the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and the feed weighing component to rotate to the middle of the base frame 1, thereby avoiding collision between the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and the feed weighing component and the front or rear side of the support beam 11. This ensures that the support beam 11 can provide good support for the device, while the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and the feed weighing component can still avoid the support beam 11 to weigh all the poultry and feed installed on the base frame 1. Furthermore, the self-cleaning poultry weighing component will perform self-cleaning after each poultry weighing operation, improving the alignment accuracy between the woven bottom net 25 and the subsequent split bottom net components, thereby improving the accuracy of poultry weighing. At a fixed time every evening, the drive component once again controls the reversing component to weigh all the split bottom net components in all cages 21 along with the poultry along with the transverse guide component, and records the data as the weight of the poultry after feeding that day; and weighs the split feeding components and the remaining feed in the split feeding components, and records the data as the remaining feed weight that day. Furthermore, there must be at least an eight-hour interval between the fixed time for collecting data on poultry each morning and the fixed time for collecting data on poultry the previous evening. The value obtained by subtracting the initial weight of poultry on the current day from the initial weight of poultry on the previous day is recorded as the daily weight gain of poultry. The value obtained by subtracting the initial weight of feed from the remaining weight of feed on the day is recorded as the daily feed intake of poultry. The device then sends data such as the initial weight of each poultry, the initial weight of feed, the remaining weight of feed, the daily weight gain, and the daily feed intake to the farmers, so that the farmers can monitor the feed intake and weight changes of each poultry. After recording the daily weight gain and daily feed intake of poultry, the farmers cleaned up the remaining feces and feed on the split bottom net components and split feeding components, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent basic data measurements, and thus improving the efficiency of poultry feed utilization and breeding, and accelerating the breeding progress. By combining the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and the feed weighing component, the separate bottom net component and the separate feeding component are easy to disassemble and clean. At the same time, the device can monitor the feed intake of poultry in all cages 21 with only a single weighing device, which reduces the operating cost of the device.

The horizontal plate 32 is fixedly connected to the two side fixing plates 31 on the left and right sides; The guide rail slider module 33 is symmetrically installed on the front and rear sides of the lower end of the horizontal plate 32; the guide rail of the guide rail slider module 33 is fixedly connected to the horizontal plate 32. The fixed guide rack 34 is fixedly installed at the lower middle part of the horizontal plate 32; The slider of the fixed guide rack 34 and guide rail slider module 33 is connected to the drive assembly; like Figure 9 As shown, the driving assembly includes a U-shaped moving plate 35, a first driving motor 36, and a driving gear 37; the U-shaped moving plate 35 is fixedly connected to the slider of the guide rail slider module 33; the driving gear 37 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the U-shaped moving plate 35; the driving gear 37 is meshed with the fixed guide rack 34. The first drive motor 36 is fixedly installed on the inner top of the U-shaped moving plate 35; the output end of the first drive motor 36 is fixedly connected to the drive gear 37. like Figure 9 As shown, the reversing assembly includes a second drive motor 38, a reversing shaft 39, a U-shaped rotating plate 310, a third drive motor 311, a drive screw 312, a lifting guide rod 313, and a lifting plate 314; the second drive motor 38 is fixedly installed on the left side of the U-shaped moving plate 35; the reversing shaft 39 is rotatably installed on the lower left side of the U-shaped moving plate 35; the output end of the second drive motor 38 is fixedly connected to the reversing shaft 39. The U-shaped rotating plate 310 is fixedly connected to the reversing shaft 39; The third drive motor 311 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the U-shaped rotating plate 310; the lifting guide rod 313 is symmetrically fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the U-shaped rotating plate 310; the upper and lower ends of the drive screw 312 are rotatably connected to the upper and lower inner walls of the U-shaped rotating plate 310; the output end of the third drive motor 311 is fixedly connected to the drive screw 312. The lifting plate 314 is threadedly connected to the drive screw 312; the lifting plate 314 is slidably connected to the lifting guide rod 313. The self-cleaning poultry weighing component is connected to the lifting plate 314; In this invention, at a fixed time every morning, a fixed amount of feed is put into the feeding trough 27. The first drive motor 36 controls the drive gear 37 to rotate, and with the cooperation of the fixed guide rack 34, the U-shaped moving plate 35 moves from left to right along the guide rail slider module 33 to the rear of the cage 21 located in front of the base frame 1. When the U-shaped moving plate 35 moves to the rear of the cage 21, the second drive motor 38 controls the reversing shaft 39 to rotate, so that the lifting plate 314 drives the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and the feed weighing component to rotate forward, and the feed weighing component will also extend forward until it is aligned with the split feeding component. Then, the third drive motor 311 drives the drive screw 312 to rotate, causing the lifting plate 314 to slowly move the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and the feed weighing component upward along the lifting guide rod 313. During the movement, the self-cleaning poultry weighing component will contact the lower end of the woven bottom net 25 and push the woven bottom net 25 upward, so that the lower folding column 251 moves out from the limiting insertion hole 22. At this time, the self-cleaning poultry weighing component weighs the woven bottom net 25 together with the poultry on the woven bottom net 25 and records the data as the initial weight of the poultry on that day. Furthermore, the feed weighing component will push the feed trough rack 27 to move upward along the limit guide rod 24 following the moving mounting plate 26, and weigh the feed trough rack 27 together with the feed inside, and record the data as the initial weight of the feed for the day. After the initial weight of the poultry and the initial weight of the feed for the day are recorded in the front cage 21 of the base frame 1, the second drive motor 38 controls the reversing shaft 39 to rotate 180 degrees backward; then the drive gear 37 controls the lifting plate 314 to record the initial weight of the poultry and the initial weight of the feed for the day in the rear cage 21 of the base frame 1 from right to left along the guide rail slider module 33. Furthermore, when the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and the feed weighing component move from one side of the support beam 11 to the other side, the second drive motor 38 will first control the lifting plate 314 to rotate to the middle of the base frame 1, thereby avoiding collision between the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and the feed weighing component and the front or rear side of the support beam 11. This ensures that the support beam 11 can provide good support for the device, while the self-cleaning poultry weighing component and the feed weighing component can still avoid the support beam 11 to weigh all the poultry and feed installed on the base frame 1. like Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the self-cleaning poultry weighing assembly includes a first L-shaped mounting plate 41, a first weighing sensor 42, a bottom net lifting frame 43, and a fixing module; the first L-shaped mounting plate 41 is fixedly installed on the upper front side of the lifting plate 314; the first weighing sensor 42 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the first L-shaped mounting plate 41; and the bottom net lifting frame 43 is fixedly installed on the detection end of the first weighing sensor 42. Multiple fixed modules are installed in a rectangular array on the upper end of the bottom net lifting frame 43; like Figure 10 As shown, the fixing module includes an L-shaped limiting plate 44, a contour scraper 45, a mounting rod 46, a nozzle 47, a reset torsion spring 48, and a pressure plate 49; multiple L-shaped limiting plates 44 are fixedly installed in a circumferential array on the upper end of the bottom net lifting frame 43; the contour scraper 45 is located between multiple L-shaped limiting plates 44 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the L-shaped limiting plates 44; The mounting rod 46 is slidably connected to the bottom net lifting frame 43; the contour scraper 45 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the mounting rod 46; A reset torsion spring 48 is wound around the outer end of the mounting rod 46. One end of the reset torsion spring 48 is fixedly connected to the mounting rod 46; the other end of the reset torsion spring 48 is fixedly connected to the bottom net lifting frame 43. The nozzle 47 is slidably mounted on the bottom net lifting frame 43, and a reset torsion spring 48 is also wound around the lower side of the outer end of the nozzle 47; one end of the reset torsion spring 48 is fixedly connected to the nozzle 47; the other end of the reset torsion spring 48 is fixedly connected to the bottom net lifting frame 43. By resetting the torsion spring 48, the mounting rod 46 and the nozzle 47 always tend to move upward. Nozzle 47 is connected to an external pump body via a pipeline; The pressure plate 49 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the nozzle 47; The feed weighing assembly is connected to the first L-shaped mounting plate 41; like Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, the feed weighing assembly includes a recovery cylinder 410, a recovery guide rod 411, a second L-shaped mounting plate 412, and a contoured support plate 413; the recovery cylinder 410 is fixedly mounted on the first L-shaped mounting plate 41; the recovery guide rod 411 is slidably connected to the first L-shaped mounting plate 41; the second L-shaped mounting plate 412 is fixedly connected to the recovery guide rod 411; the output end of the recovery cylinder 410 is fixedly connected to the second L-shaped mounting plate 412. The second load cell 414 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the second L-shaped mounting plate 412; multiple contoured support plates 413 are fixedly installed linearly and at equal intervals on the detection end of the second load cell 414. A central control unit (not shown in the figure) for recording data is fixedly installed on the U-shaped moving plate 35. The central control unit is communicatively connected to the first weighing sensor 42 and the second weighing sensor 414. The central control unit is electrically connected to the second drive motor 38, so that the fixed time point for data collection each morning and the fixed time point for data collection the previous night are more than eight hours apart. In this invention, when the U-shaped moving plate 35 moves to the rear of the cage 21, the second drive motor 38 controls the reversing shaft 39 to rotate, so that the lifting plate 314 drives the bottom net lifting frame 43 to rotate to the bottom of the woven bottom net 25; then, the recovery cylinder 410 pushes the contoured tray 413 to move outward along the second L-shaped mounting plate 412 until the contoured tray 413 moves to the bottom of the feeding trough rack 27; Then, the third drive motor 311 drives the drive screw 312 to rotate, causing the lifting plate 314 to drive the first L-shaped mounting plate 41 to slowly move upward along the lifting guide rod 313. During the movement, the lower end of the woven bottom net 25 will contact the pressure plate 49 and the contour scraper 45, and press down the pressure plate 49 and the contour scraper 45, causing the nozzle 47 and the mounting rod 46 to move downward along the bottom net lifting frame 43 and compress the reset torsion spring 48 until the contour scraper 45 and the nozzle 47 are blocked by the upper end of the bottom net lifting frame 43, and the gap between the multiple L-shaped limit plates 44 will be inserted into the steel wires that are distributed horizontally and vertically on the woven bottom net 25, thereby pushing the woven bottom net 25 to move upward, ensuring that the lower folding column 251 moves out of the limit insertion hole 22. At this time, the first weighing sensor 42 weighs the woven bottom net 25 together with the poultry on the woven bottom net 25 and records the data as the initial weight of the poultry on that day. Furthermore, the contoured tray 413 moves upward synchronously with the first L-shaped mounting plate 41. During the movement, the contoured tray 413 will push the feed trough rack 27 to move upward along the limiting guide rod 24, so that the moving mounting plate 26 separates from the fixed L-shaped mounting plate 23. At this time, the second weighing sensor 414 will weigh the feed trough rack 27 together with the feed inside the feed trough rack 27 and record the data as the initial weight of the feed for the day. After the measurement is completed, the third drive motor 311 controls the lifting plate 314 to move downwards and reset, so that the woven bottom net 25 and the feeding trough rack 27 are reset. When the pressure plate 49 and the contour scraper 45 separate from the woven bottom net 25, the reset torsion spring 48 will return to its original position and drive the contour scraper 45 and the spray pipe 47 to reset upwards. The reset of the contour scraper 45 will scrape off the poultry droppings remaining in the gaps between the multiple L-shaped limit plates 44. Then the spray pipe 47 sprays water onto the contour scraper 45 to spray off the droppings on the contour scraper 45, improving the alignment accuracy of the woven bottom net 25 and the L-shaped limit plate 44, thereby improving the accuracy of poultry weighing. When the first weighing sensor 42 and the second weighing sensor 414 need to move from one side of the support beam 11 to the other side, the recovery cylinder 410 controls the second L-shaped mounting plate 412 to move inward and retract along the recovery guide rod 411. The second drive motor 38 controls the lifting plate 314 to rotate to the middle of the base frame 1, thereby avoiding collision between the second L-shaped mounting plate 412 and the front or rear side of the support beam 11. This ensures that the support beam 11 can provide good support for the device, while the device can still avoid the support beam 11 to weigh all poultry and feed installed on the base frame 1.

[0015] Example 3: In some embodiments, such as Figures 11-13 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the cage 21 is provided with multiple layers, and the lifting and docking mechanism 5 for controlling the U-shaped moving plate 35 to flow between different layers of cage 21 is installed on the left side of the base frame 1. The lifting and docking mechanism 5 includes a lead screw slide module 51, a docking plate 52, a docking guide rail 53, and a docking rack 54; the lead screw slide module 51 is fixedly installed on the left side of the base frame 1; the docking plate 52 is fixedly connected to the moving end of the lead screw slide module 51. The docking guide rails 53 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the lower end of the docking plate 52; The mating rack 54 is fixedly installed at the lower middle part of the mating plate 52; In this invention, after the U-shaped moving plate 35 controls the first weighing sensor 42 and the second weighing sensor 414 to complete the weight detection of all poultry and feed in the front and rear cages 21 of the first layer, the screw slide module 51 controls the docking plate 52 to move to the left end of the horizontal plate 32 of the first layer, ensuring that the docking guide rail 53 is aligned with the guide rail slider module 33 and the docking rack 54 is aligned with the fixed guide rack 34. Subsequently, the second drive motor 38 controls the U-shaped rotating plate 310 and the lifting plate 314 to rotate to the left. Then, the first drive motor 36 controls the drive gear 37 to rotate, so that the U-shaped moving plate 35 moves along the guide rail slider module 33 to the docking guide rail 53, and the drive gear 37 moves along the fixed guide rack 34 to the docking rack 54. Then, the lead screw slide module 51 controls the docking plate 52 to move up or down in the vertical direction, so that the docking plate 52 is aligned with the horizontal plate 32 of another layer. Subsequently, the first drive motor 36 controls the U-shaped moving plate 35 to move onto the horizontal plate 32 of another layer, thereby realizing the weighing operation of poultry and feed on different layers, further improving the practicality and flexibility of the lifting device.

[0016] Example 4: In some embodiments, such as Figure 14 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the blocking mechanism 6 for preventing poultry in the cage 21 from eating from the feed trough 27 is connected to the cage 21. The blocking mechanism 6 includes a blocking mesh plate 61, a blocking push cylinder 62, and a blocking linear slider module 63; the blocking push cylinder 62 is fixedly installed on one side of the cage body 21; the guide rail of the blocking guide rail slider module 63 is fixedly installed on the other side of the cage body 21. The sealing mesh plate 61 is fixedly connected to the output end of the sealing push cylinder 62; and the sealing mesh plate 61 is fixedly connected to the slider of the sealing guide rail slider module 63. The sealing mesh plate 61 is made of multiple welded steel wires and can prevent the poultry's head from protruding out of the cage 21; In this invention, at a fixed time every morning, when a certain amount of feed is put into the feed trough rack 27, the sealing mesh plate 61 is located below the wire door at the outer end of the cage body 21, preventing the poultry's head from protruding from inside the cage body 21 to the location of the feed trough rack 27. After the initial weight of the poultry and the initial weight of the feed for the day are recorded in the cage 21, the sealing push cylinder 62 pulls the sealing mesh plate 61 to move upward along the sealing straight slider module 63, ensuring that the poultry's head can protrude out of the wire door at the outer end of the cage 21 and eat from the feed trough 27. Similarly, at a fixed time each evening, after collecting data on the weight of poultry after feeding and the weight of remaining feed, the sealing cylinder 62 pushes the sealing mesh plate 61 upward along the sealing straight slider module 63 to reset, preventing the poultry from eating from the feed trough 27; then, the feed trough 27 can be removed to clean up the remaining feed. By performing the above operations, the accuracy of basic data measurement of poultry weight and feed intake can be further improved, the efficiency of poultry feed utilization and breeding can be further improved, and the breeding progress can be accelerated.
