The present invention provides a method and system for real-time monitoring of dairy cow estrus behavior. The optical flow image sequence of the dairy cow to be monitored is obtained according to the original image sequence of the dairy cow to be monitored, the feature extraction is performed on the optical flow image sequence, and the optical flow image sequence corresponding to the optical flow image sequence is obtained. Flow feature; detect the cow to be monitored from the original image sequence, and extract the edge profile feature of the cow to be monitored; input the optical flow feature and edge profile feature into the preset neural network, and treat the cow to be monitored according to the output of the preset neural network estrus behavior monitoring. The method and system can accurately identify the climbing behavior of the cow to be monitored in estrus from the monitoring video images of the cow to be monitored, so that the estrus behavior of the cow to be monitored can be detected in time and accurately, which is conducive to the timely conception, calving and prolongation of the lactation period of healthy cows , improve the economic benefits of dairy farming; at the same time, it avoids missed inspections caused by manual identification, and saves the labor cost of dairy farming to a certain extent.

A fluid line treatment kit for a dairy farm milking system having a vacuum subsystem for imparting vacuum within a fluid line is provided. The fluid line treatment kit includes at least one ozone gas source; a conduit associated with each ozone gas source configured to convey ozone gas to within the fluid line at a respective location; and a control system configured to trigger each ozone gas source to produce ozone gas while the vacuum subsystem is actuated. Vacuum imparted by the vacuum subsystem in the fluid line draws ozone gas via the at least one conduit into and through the fluid line.

The invention discloses a method and a device for cleaning manures in a dairy farm. The method is characterized in that a rear skip bucket is arranged at the rear end of a front shovel plate, the manures are shoveled by the front shovel plate and are fed into the rear skip bucket from the front shovel plate, and the collected manures are poured into a specified area after the manures collected in the rear skip bucket meets the requirement of the volumetric capacity and the skip bucket is turned over. The method and the device have the advantages that a mode that the front shovel plate is combined with the rear skip bucket is adopted, the size of the front shovel plate can be reduced while the volumetric capacity is kept, the device can be operated flexibly owing to the merit of small size, a cleaning range can be expanded, inconvenience in cleaning due to activity of cattle can be effectively prevented, and cleaning dead areas are prevented in the integral dairy farm; after the rear skip bucket is full, the collected manures can be poured out only by means of pulling a pull plate; and various shortcomings that a scraper is large and heavy and cleaning dead areas cannot be eliminated are overcome.
