Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of backfat measuring equipment, in particular to a device used for measuring and fixing the backfat of pigs. Background Art

[0002] The body condition of sows varies with the different breeding stages during the entire reproductive cycle. Maintaining appropriate body condition according to different breeding purposes is the key to ensuring their reproductive performance. Backfat thickness can effectively reflect changes in sow body condition and is a good predictor of sow reproductive performance. Regulating the feeding amount of pregnant sows according to body condition (backfat thickness) is an effective way to achieve high-quality and efficient sow breeding. Therefore, sow backfat thickness has become an important method to measure sow body condition. In the past 30 years, sow fat has been reduced by 50%, making breeding sows more sensitive to nutrition. In actual production, corresponding feeding procedures and nutritional standards are formulated according to the physiological stage of sows to maximize production benefits. Backfat measurement is an efficient method and way to formulate feeding procedures and nutritional standards and improve feeding management levels. It is an important basis for implementing the concept of precision nutrition. The traditional measurement method is: the measurer holds the probe and presses the selected measurement point. At present, most of the measured pigs are raised in positioning pens, and personnel stand in the pens for measurement. On the one hand, there is a high possibility of being squeezed and trampled by pigs. On the other hand, the flexibility of personnel operation is poor. At the same time, because personnel are close to pigs, pigs are easily frightened, and the frequency of pig movement is high, so more frequency hopping data is measured.

[0003] The existing technology has the following problems:

[0004] After extensive searching, it was found that Chinese patent publication number: CN208081243U discloses a device for measuring back fat, including: veterinary A-ultrasound instrument, A-ultrasound probe, data line, 7-shaped bracket; veterinary A-ultrasound instrument and A-ultrasound probe are connected with a data line, and the A-ultrasound probe sends the back fat thickness of the sow to the veterinary A-ultrasound instrument through the data line; the A-ultrasound probe is fixed at the head end of the 7-shaped bracket; the data line is arranged on the 7-shaped bracket. After the sow's back is shaved and marked, oil is applied on the sow's back, and the 7-shaped bracket is held to place the A-ultrasound probe at the marked position. The back fat thickness can be measured without entering the pen or stepping over the pen. The fat measurement operation is simple and the data stability is good.

[0005] However, the above patent still has problems that need to be improved when measuring the thickness of the sow's back fat. The most obvious one is that when measuring the thickness of the sow's back fat, the measuring personnel need to first use a hair scraper to shave the measuring point, and then use a vegetable oil bottle to apply vegetable oil to the measuring point before measuring. This set of operations is cumbersome and laborious, which affects the efficiency of the measurement.

[0006] To this end, we proposed a device for measuring pig back fat to solve the above-mentioned drawbacks. Utility Model Content
