Title:
ESTRUS NOTIFICATION METHOD, ESTRUS NOTIFICATION DEVICE, AND ESTRUS NOTIFICATION PROGRAM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/145304
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Suppose the number of steps (N13) taken by a farm animal (A1) during a time period (t2 - t3) was at or above a threshold value. The estrus notification device (102) calculates the level of decrease in the number of steps of the other farm animals (A2-An) in the same group in the previous time period. The level of decrease is a value representing how much the measured value (N) of the farm animals (A2 - An) for the previous time period (t1 - t2) decreased from the measured value (N) of the period previous thereto (t0 - t1) and is, for example, a percentage of decrease. Suppose the number of steps of the farm animals (A2 - An) is, for example, half or less in the time period (t1 - t2) than in the time period (t0 - t1). The estrus notification device (102) would consider that the measured value was less than the threshold value because the farm animal (A1) was eating despite being in estrus during the time period (t1 - t2) and would determine that the farm animal (A1) was in estrus during the time period (t1 - t2). The estrus notification device (102) outputs the information that the farm animal (A1) was in estrus during the time period (t1 - t2).
