The invention discloses a sheep weight and size measuring
system and method, and relates to the technical field of
animal husbandry breeding
intelligent management. Firstly, the invention discloses a sheep weight and
body size measuring
system, which comprises a PLC (
Programmable Logic Controller), a computer, a channel module, a blocking module, an
identity recognition module, an entrance module, an
image acquisition module, a weighing module and a grouping module, wherein the PLC is in communication connection with the computer. Secondly, the invention discloses a method for measuring the weight and the
body size of the sheep, and the method comprises the following steps: S1, driving the sheep into a guide channel at the entrance of the
system, and arranging a
queue; and S2, a worker starts a blocking module to communicate the recognition channel with the guide channel, and after the first sheep enters the recognition channel, the blocking module is started again to block the space between the recognition channel and the guide channel and block the next sheep. The device has the advantages of
automation, high precision and non-contact, so that personal errors and sheep stress are reduced, and the working efficiency is improved.
