[0026] Milk outlet mechanism includes milk outlet pipe 15, nipple 16, milk outlet electric control valve 17 and milk outlet meter, one end of milk outlet pipe 15 is communicated with the lower portion of milk storage barrel 8, nipple 16 can be detachably installed on the other end of milk outlet pipe 15, milk outlet electric control valve 17 and milk outlet meter are both set on milk outlet pipe 15, and the end of milk outlet pipe 15 in the embodiment away from milk storage barrel 8 is bent downwardly arranged;Fence mechanism includes induction door, two side fence components and two lifting drive components, two side fence components are located at the two sides of one milk outlet mechanism respectively, one lifting drive component is arranged on the side away from milk storage barrel 8 of each side fence component, and the two sides of induction door are connected with two lifting drive components respectively;Stirring mechanism, identification component 14, milk outlet electric control valve 17, milk outlet meter, lifting drive component and induction door are connected with controller.
[0027] When lamb needs to drink milk, come to induction door, induction door senses lamb, and lifting drive component lifts induction door, so that lamb enters fence mechanism, then lifting drive component closes induction door, identification component 14 identifies lamb and records the characteristics of the lamb, milk outlet electric control valve 17 is opened, lamb sucks nipple 16, and milk flows through milk outlet meter into nipple 16 from milk outlet pipe 15, the milk intake of the lamb this time is obtained through milk outlet meter, the average value of milk intake of the lamb in unlimited quantity state at different times is obtained through multiple records, and the controller sets the milk intake average value as the feeding amount of the lamb, then when the lamb feeds milk, the feeding amount of the lamb in the controller is reached, and the controller controls milk outlet electric control valve 17 to be closed, so as to control the feeding amount of the lamb in subsequent each time, avoid lamb from being not suitable due to gluttony, and be beneficial to the growth and development of lamb.
[0028] The milk outlet electric control valve 17 in the embodiment is arranged at the inlet of the milk outlet pipe 15, and a milk outlet meter is arranged between the milk outlet electric control valve 17 and the nipple 16 and is used to monitor the milk liquid amount flowing through the milk outlet pipe 15. When the milk liquid amount monitored by the milk outlet meter reaches a preset value, the controller controls the milk outlet electric control valve 17 to be closed to cut off the flow of the milk liquid, thereby avoiding overfeeding.
[0029] The controller stores the data of the milk intake amount of the lamb in the unlimited state at different times to form the historical intake amount of the lamb. That is, the controller automatically accumulates the data based on time (for example, every day or every week) and independently tracks each lamb. The controller can use the historical intake amount to calculate the appropriate amount of the next feeding.

The normal value range is different depending on the population and conditions, and is generally 50-150 ng / mL.
[0032] According to the analysis result, the controller can automatically adjust the feeding amount of the lactation device to the lamb. The milk adjustment logic is as follows: cortisol increases (> 150 ng / mL): it is indicated that the stress may be caused by hunger, and the feeding amount is appropriately increased. Cortisol is normal (50-150 ng / mL): the normal feeding amount is maintained. Cortisol decreases (< 50 ng / mL): it is indicated that there is no hunger stress, and the feeding amount can be reduced or the health status is concerned.

[0040] Specifically, the identification indexes that can be referred to include face feature points, mainly identifying the positions and proportions of ears, noses, mouths, eyes and other parts to establish an identification model; also include head contours, which are used to judge individual differences by analyzing the contours of the head to assist in identifying the intake state of different lambs; also include fur color and texture, which are used to extract individual characteristics by using color and texture differences to further distinguish individuals with high similarity; also include behavior characteristics, lambs have certain behavior characteristics in the lactation process, such as head angle and sucking frequency, which can be used as auxiliary identification data.

Specifically, the strain gauge is pasted to the lower part of the periphery of the bearing plate 20.
[0046] The strain gauge is pasted to the bearing plate 20 to sense the deformation of the bearing plate 20. When the milk liquid enters the milk storage bucket 8, the bearing plate 20 sinks, and the strain gauge converts the deformation of the bearing plate 20 into an electric signal.
