Animal feeding monitoring system

By designing a one-way inlet and outlet in the animal feeding monitoring system, and combining it with food weighing and timing modules, the problem of not being able to accurately obtain the feeding information of each animal in group animal feeding monitoring was solved. This enabled precise monitoring of the amount, duration, and frequency of each animal's feeding, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement results.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing methods for monitoring feeding in group-housed animals can only obtain information about the feeding of the entire group, but cannot accurately obtain information about the feeding of each individual animal.

Method used

Design an animal feeding monitoring system, including a feeding container and a feeding monitoring mechanism. By setting up a one-way entrance and a one-way exit in the individual feeding monitoring space, and combining a food weighing module and a timing trigger module, ensure that each animal eats in a separate feeding space, avoids fighting behavior, and accurately obtains information such as food intake, feeding time and feeding frequency.

Benefits of technology

This enabled precise monitoring of each animal's feeding information, avoiding competition for food among individuals and ensuring the smooth conduct of the experiment and the accuracy of the measurement results.

Abstract

This application belongs to the technical field of animal experimental equipment, specifically providing an animal feeding monitoring system, including a feeding container and a feeding monitoring mechanism. The feeding container has a group activity space, and the feeding monitoring mechanism is connected to the feeding container. The feeding monitoring mechanism has an individual feeding monitoring space, and the individual feeding monitoring space is equipped with a feeding monitoring module for acquiring animal feeding information. The feeding monitoring mechanism also has a one-way entrance and a one-way exit for connecting the individual feeding monitoring space and the group activity space. The one-way entrance and one-way exit ensure that at any given time, only one animal is feeding in the individual feeding monitoring space, avoiding competition for food between different individuals. This creates an orderly system where multiple animals enter the individual feeding monitoring space one by one through the one-way entrance to feed and then return to the group activity space through the one-way exit, thereby enabling accurate acquisition of each animal's feeding information.
