Description

A monitoring system for laying hen habitat distribution

technical field

The invention relates to the technical field of digital monitoring, and more particularly relates to a monitoring system for laying hen habitat distribution.

Background technique

Animal welfare has attracted more and more attention. The new free-range cage system can make laying hens express their nature well, increase the amount of exercise and activity space of laying hens, and thus improve the animal welfare of laying hens. The free-range breeding system of laying hens is an alternative to the traditional cage system. In the free-ranging system, the laying hens have relatively more space for activities; at the same time, it is also conducive to the perching behavior of laying hens, and it is a high-welfare breeding mode . However, for the habitat free-range system, there is still a lack of tools or methods to analyze the use of the layer hens on the habitat. In addition, obtaining the weight data of the layer is of great significance for monitoring the growth and production status of the layer. There are thousands of laying hens, which makes it almost impossible for breeders to measure the weight of each laying hen, and manually weighing the laying hens will bring stress to the laying hens, and may even cause damage to the hens' wings Or hurt your leg.

detailed description

The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but should not be used to limit the scope of the present invention.

Fig. 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a laying hen perch distribution monitoring system of the present invention; the system includes a plurality of laying hen individual weighing units, a plurality of laying hen perch weighing units and a laying hen perch distribution monitoring unit.

As shown in Figure 4, the layer individual weighing unit includes a fixed base plate 9, a first load cell 2 fixed on the fixed base plate 9, a short perch bar 8 connected to the first load cell 2 And the data acquisition and wireless transmission module 7 connected with the first weighing sensor 2, the data acquisition and wireless transmission module 7 collects the data of the first weighing sensor 2, obtains the weight of the individual laying hen, and sends Distribute monitoring units to the layer perches.

As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the weighing unit of the laying hen perch frame includes a long perch bar 3, a second load cell 12 that is positioned below the long perch bar and is connected with the long perch bar, and is used for fixing the perch bar. Describe the fixed bracket 1 of the second load cell 12 and the data acquisition module 4 connected with the second load cell 12, the data acquisition module 4 is used to collect the data collected by the second load cell 12, and obtain The total weight of the laying hens on each long perch pole 3 is transmitted to the distribution monitoring unit of the laying hens perches.

The laying hen habitat distribution monitoring unit includes a wireless data receiving module 6 for receiving data sent by the data collection and wireless transmission module 7, a switch connected to the wireless data receiving module 6 and the data collection module 4 5. The server 10 connected to the switch 5, the data processing program in the server 10 calculates the average body weight of a single laying hen according to the data collected by the individual weighing unit of the laying hen, and according to the weight of the single egg The average weight of the chicken and the total weight of the laying hens on each of the long perching poles are collected by the weighing unit of the laying hen perches to calculate the real-time number of laying hens on each of the long perching poles.

The layer individual weighing unit also includes a storage battery 11, which is connected to the data collection and wireless transmission module and used to provide power for the data collection and wireless transmission module. The number of the second load cell is more than two; for the case of two second load cells, the second load cell is arranged at both ends of the perch pole; for more than two In the case of the second load cell, one second load cell is provided at both ends of the long perch bar, and the second load cells are connected to the long perch bar at equal intervals. The first load cell and the second load cell may be the same sensor or different sensors.

The individual weighing unit of laying hens is a separate unit, which can be fixed on the required position through the fixed bottom plate. The individual weight data of laying hens are transmitted to the server.

The laying hen perch distribution monitoring unit obtains the distribution data of laying hens on the perch system through long-time monitoring of multiple long perching poles and individual weighing units of laying hens.

When laying hens stood on the short perch pole 8, the first load cell 2 measured its weight, and the weight data measured was wirelessly transmitted to the wireless data receiving module 6 by the data acquisition and wireless sending module 7, and the wireless data receiving module 6 is used to transmit the weight of the laying hen collected by the weighing sensor to the server 10. As shown in Figure 5, after system calibration, set the body weight range of the individual laying hen, if the weight data obtained by the individual weighing unit of the laying hen is within the normal weight range of the laying hen, then save the weight data of a single chicken, And wait for the next reading of the data of the individual weighing unit of the laying hen, otherwise directly wait for the next reading of the data of the individual weighing unit of the laying hen.

For a long perching pole 3 in the system, the weight data collected by the load cell below it, if the weight is greater than a certain value, then calculate all the weight data of the chicken, and after the system is calibrated, read the weight of a single chicken and the weight data of the long perch bar, calculate the number of chickens distributed on the perch bar according to the average weight of the laying hens, and obtain the perch distribution, and finally save the weight data and distribution data results in the database, and wait for the next reading of the data; if judged If there are no chickens, save the body weight as 0 and the number of chickens as 0, and at the same time, calibrate the pole and wait for the next data collection.

During the operation of the system, the individual weight of laying hens is calculated by the average weight of a single chicken obtained the previous day; the average weight of the previous day is processed and saved at 0 o'clock every day.

The obtained weight data and habitat distribution data can be further used for the evaluation and analysis of the welfare status of laying hens and the analysis of the utilization of habitats by laying hens. The entire measurement process is completely automatic, and the laying hens are not stressed, and the growth and production of the laying hens are not affected.

The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention, but not to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various combinations, modifications or equivalent replacements of the technical solutions of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all should cover Within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
