Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of poultry breeding, in particular to a chick quality sorting system. Background Art

[0002] Newborn chicks are classified into healthy chicks and weak chicks based on their vitality, yolk absorption, weight, degree of healing of the umbilical cord, and the color of the beak, shin, and toes. Only healthy chicks can guarantee the survival rate of chicks. Weak chicks require more attention to heat preservation and careful feeding and management during brooding, and weak chicks often die in the early stages of brooding, or have slow growth and development and poor vitality.

[0003] Therefore, defective chicks should be eliminated in time to save labor and feed. Weak chicks are weak and easily get sick. If they are not eliminated in time, they may infect a large group and it is easy to make mistakes in diagnosing diseases.

[0004] In the process of chick strength classification, both manual methods and mechanical equipment are used;

[0005] Due to the limitations of mechanical equipment, it may not be able to fully and accurately judge other characteristics of the chicks, such as vitality, appearance, etc.; therefore, in practical applications, mechanical grading is usually used as an auxiliary means of manual grading.

[0006] In the prior art, chicks are mostly graded manually, usually by one worker sorting a batch of chicks individually and storing the healthy chicks and the weak chicks separately;

[0007] However, since manual grading is mainly based on the vitality, weight, appearance, yolk absorption, umbilical cord healing and dehydration of the chicks, for example, observing whether the chicks are lively, whether their weight meets the standard, whether their feathers are neat, whether the yolk absorption is good, and whether the umbilical cord is healed;

[0008] Therefore, when workers sort the chicks by observing and touching them, they need to have rich experience and professional knowledge to ensure the accuracy of the grading. However, if a single worker does the sorting, it is inevitable that some chicks will be missed, which can easily lead to weak chicks being mixed in with healthy chicks, resulting in a reduced yield of chicks and even affecting the growth of large groups.
