Described is an animal data communication system for detecting particular conditions and actions of an animal, compiling information indicative of the detected conditions and actions, communicating the information to a remote location, and presenting the information at the remote location. The animal data communication system includes a carried device and an interfacing device. The carried device detects particular conditions and actions of the animal and compiles the corresponding information. The carried device is in communication with the interfacing device and transmits the information to the interfacing device. The interfacing device communicates the information to a network. The user of the animal data communication system accesses the network by way of a display device, which is in communication with the network, and perceives the information. The display device is disposed at a location remote to the animal such that the user can perceive the information at the remote location.

The present invention discloses a terminal-based animal data processing method and a terminal. The method can comprise the steps of receiving the animal audio data, and obtaining the corresponding animal audio characteristics; according to a mapping relation of the preset animal audio characteristics and the meaning expression, searching the meaning expression corresponding to the obtained animal audio characteristics; determining the characteristic elements and the expression modes of the meaning expression, and outputting the characteristic elements corresponding to the meaning expression according to the expression modes. According to the present invention, the terminal automatically finishes a process of converting the animal audio data into the information types capable of being identified by the human, and the users can visually and accurately know the meaning that the animals want to express via the sound just by the terminal, thereby providing a mode of knowing the sound of the animals rapidly and accurately to the users, solving the problem that the animal voices are difficult to understand, and improving the experiences of the users.

A method and system for creating a customized animal feed is disclosed. The method and system include having ingredient data from more than one location, animal data, and representative of the mix of ingredients available at one or more locations. A customized feed is generated which is designed to fulfill the nutritional requirements for the animal's diet. The nutritional requirements are derived from the animal data. Furthermore, the feed is optimized to fulfill the requirements of the evaluation criteria. Evaluation criteria such as (i) animal production rate, (ii) the cost of feed per unit animal weight gain, and (iii) the feed weight per unit animal weight gain, are then utilized together with the feed data and animal data to provide a customized feed which has been generated based upon evaluation data which is representative of one or more of the evaluation criteria.

An identification tag is provided including a piercing element which captures a tissue sample of the animal during tagging. The tissue sample may be used to positively identify the animal for purposes of animal health tests, and the tissue sample may be further used to positively identify the animal tagged at all stages of the animal's life, as well as after the animal dies, by comparing the tissue sample with previously recorded DNA or other animal data. Visual indicia may also be incorporated on the tag, as well as electronic identification by use of a transponder.

Human and humanized monoclonal antibodies which binds specifically to subunit A of Shiga like toxin II have been developed which are effective to prevent or ameliorate one or more symptoms of HUS in a human. Effective dosages for treatment or prevention range from approximately 0.1 to 5.0 mg of antibody / kg of patient weight. The examples demonstrate the preferred dosage ranges based on the pig model, and what is being tested in phase I clinical trials. Antibodies are preferably transfused over a period of two hours, although this will depend on the patient and the disease state at the time of treatment. Preferred dosages for treatment of humans are between 0.1 mg / kg-5.0 mg / kg of 5C120, or an equivalent dosage of another antibody to subunit A of STX2. In the most preferred embodiments, dosages of 0.1 mg / kg, 0.5 mg / kg, or 5.0 mg / kg of 5C12 (low dose, anticipated therapeutic dose based on animal data and high dose) are administered.

The invention discloses an animal activity monitoring system and an activity state recognition method based on a neural network. The animal activity monitoring system comprises an acquisition device and an intelligent terminal application, and the acquisition device acquires contact pressure, activity range and acceleration information of monitored animals and judges whether effective contact occurs or not according to the magnitude of the contact pressure; the intelligent terminal application receives effective animal data of the acquisition device and recognizes the effective animal data into the animal activity state. By means of the recognition method, based on a neural network model, a sample set can be trained and learned, and based on the trained model, the activity state of the animals can be recognized. By means of the system, animal activities can be automatically detected and remotely monitored in real time, manual detection or recording is not needed, and a lot of manpowercan be saved; by means of the method, the difference like the type, the age, the individual and the motion state of the animals can be eliminated, all monitored objects are truly customized, and the purpose of precisely and effectively detecting the activity range is achieved.

A high performance computing strategy along with the capability to integrate various layers of data within a modeling framework incorporates various tools such as ambient noise, vessel and animal data to measure acute and chronic noise levels, detect and classify marine mammal vocalizations, and compute various metrics such as receive levels, signal excess, masking and communication space over relatively large temporal and spatial scales.

The invention provides an animal database maintenance method, device and system. According to the method, a pre-established animal database comprises at least one species sub-database, and each species sub-database comprises a vocal print information base and a multimedia information base; when surrounding sounds are acquired, first vocal print information is extracted from acquired source sound signals and matched with vocal print models in the vocal print information bases in all the species sub-databases; if matching succeeds, the source sound signals are saved in the corresponding multimedia information bases; and then second vocal print information of all the source sound signals is analyzed, and the source sound signals in all the species sub-databases are clustered. In this way, thefunction of maintaining the animal sound database without the need for manual operation is achieved, the efficiency of collecting animal data in all regions is greatly improved, and meanwhile convenience is provided for realizing automatic statistical analysis of animal quantities in the collection regions and establishing individual databases of animal individuals.

Disclosed is an animal shape phenotype automatic measuring method. An animal shape phenotype is automatically measured through template deformation. The method comprises the following steps: establishing a database, i.e., establishing a template model database storing three-dimensional stereo templates of different animals in different growth periods, and a shape phenotype measuring definition database storing shape phenotype index measuring definitions measuring different animal shape phenotype indexes; coupling, i.e., according to the three-dimensional stereo templates in the template model database, comparing input animal data models, obtaining three-dimensional stereo templates which are closest to the types of the currently input animal data models and the growth periods as the coupling templates of the currently input animal data templates; deformation, i.e., according to the input animal data models, deforming the coupling templates until the coupling templates are close to the currently input animal data models in terms of body size; and calculating, i.e., according to the shape phenotype measuring definitions in the shape phenotype measuring definition database and the deformed coupling templates, obtaining the shape phenotype indexes of the input animal data models. The animal shape phenotype automatic measuring method improves the automation degree of animal shape phenotype measurement.
