JP4209902B2 - Individual identification tag for poultry - Google Patents

Description

  The present invention relates to a tag for individual identification of poultry such as chickens.

  In recent years, as food traceability systems have been frustrated, it has also been confirmed that poultry, such as chicken avian influenza, has been transmitted to the human body. Under such circumstances, chickens have been developed to prevent infection and produce disease antibodies. Vaccine administration is being carried out.

  However, if an antibody test is performed on chickens to ensure safety, a positive reaction may occur depending on the vaccine administered. In this case, whether the positive reaction is actually caused by the vaccine administration or infection may occur. Cannot determine whether this is the cause.

  Therefore, it is necessary to leave a history such as the presence or absence of vaccine administration for each chicken as individual information. Conventionally, for example, an individual tag management system for poultry uses an IC tag (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

In this method, an IC tag storing an identification code for each poultry, for example, a chicken, is wound around the outer periphery of the leg of the chicken, and poultry management information corresponding to the identification code is stored in the poultry management database.
JP 2006-81495 A

  Since the tag of the conventional example is attached to the leg of the chicken, in order to read the information stored in the tag, it is necessary to work in a state where the chicken is captured and pressed. Hateful. Also, when a tag is mounted on a chicken, the mounting location is a leg, so that work requires labor and time.

  In particular, for chickens that have a large number of domestic wings and a large number of wings per farmer compared to other poultry, individual management requires that tags can be easily attached and read.

  The object of the present invention is to eliminate the inconvenience of the conventional example, and particularly to easily attach a tag for individual identification to a chicken having a large number of breeding wings, and to easily read information stored in the tag. An object of the present invention is to provide an individual identification tag for poultry.

  In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is characterized in that a belt-like ring hooked on a neck portion, a linear member projecting obliquely toward the upper inner side of the belt-like ring and hooked on a wing, The gist of the present invention is that it comprises a recording unit for individual information attached to a strip-shaped mounting piece suspended from a strip-shaped ring.

  According to the first aspect of the present invention, the recording chip storing the individual information is attached to each chicken simply by hooking the belt-like ring over the neck of the chicken. The ring is caught in the wing of the neck that grows in a certain direction, and at the same time, the linear member enters from the bottom to the top of the wing and gets caught at the base of the wing. Does not go down or go down.

  In addition, since this linear member protrudes inward, even if the diameter of the ring is increased with respect to the neck in anticipation of chicken growth, the linear member enters between the wings and the ring It is possible to prevent the neck from coming out. And since the ring of a diameter with a space can be attached, the neck compression accompanying a chicken's growth can be prevented.

  Furthermore, the individual information can be read from the recording unit attached to the attachment piece suspended from the ring. In this case, since the attachment piece is formed in a band shape, it can be easily grasped and read. Not only can be done easily, but also increases the readable distance.

  The gist of the invention described in claim 2 is that the two linear members protrude in at least two locations as a pair in a V shape.

  According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the two linear members are paired in a V shape and project from at least two locations, they can be surely inserted between the wings and prevented from coming off.

  The gist of the invention described in claim 3 is that the band-like ring is provided with a notch that is broken by a large tensile force.

  According to the third aspect of the present invention, when the ring, the attachment piece, or the linear member is pulled strongly, the ring breaks from the incision point, so that the tensile force is applied to the neck of the chicken and the chicken is damaged. Can be prevented.

  As described above, the individual identification tag for poultry of the present invention is in a ring shape, and since a linear member is attached to this, it is easy to attach to the neck of the chicken. Rotation and lowering can be reliably prevented. In addition, since the individual information can be read from the recording unit provided on the strip-shaped mounting piece, the reading operation can be easily performed.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an embodiment of an individual identification tag for poultry according to the present invention, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a state of being attached to a chicken, and the individual identification tag for poultry according to the present invention is used for a chicken, for example. A belt-like ring 3 hooked on the neck 2 of the chicken 1, a linear member 5 projecting obliquely toward the upper inner side of the belt-like ring 3 and hooked on the wing 4, and a belt-like ring suspended from the belt-like ring 3 The unit information recording unit 7 is attached to the mounting piece 6.

  The band-shaped ring 3 uses a soft synthetic resin such as plastic as a material, and is provided with a linear member 5 projecting obliquely from the outer periphery of the band-shaped ring 3 toward the inside of the band-shaped ring 3. For example, at an appropriate position, for example, one or two attachment portions of the linear member 5 were formed with notches 8 that were broken when a tensile force was applied as an external force.

  The two linear members 5 are paired in a V shape and protrude from at least two locations with their tips open.

  The band-like attachment piece 6 was formed of a flexible member so as not to damage the wing 4, and an IC chip, a barcode, a QR code, or the like was attached to the recording piece 7 as the recording portion 7. The recorded content is individual information including a history such as the presence or absence of vaccine administration.

  Next, the usage will be described. In order to manage individual information for each chicken, the band-like ring 3 is placed on the neck 2 of the chicken 1 from above and hooked as shown in FIG. In this case, a belt-like ring 3 having a larger diameter than that of the neck is used.

  In the state of being attached to the neck 2, the belt-like ring 3 is caught by the wing 4 that grows downward in the neck 2 in a certain direction, so that it is prevented from coming out upward.

  At the same time, the linear member 5 is caught between the wings 4 from the bottom to the top of the wings 4 to prevent the belt-like ring 3 from rotating and coming off. Thereby, the belt-like ring 3 is attached to the neck 2 of the chicken 1 by being caught.

  The band-like ring 3 is attached to the neck 2 of the chicken 1 larger than this, so that there is a space around the neck, which can cope with the neck compression accompanying the growth of the chicken 1, and prevents neck tightening.

  In order to know the individual information of the chicken 1 to which the belt-like ring 3 is attached, the information recorded in the recording unit 7 of the attachment piece 6 is taken. In this case, since the attachment piece 6 is formed in a band shape, the attachment piece 6 can be easily grasped with respect to the chicken 1 moving around, and information from the recording unit 7 can be easily obtained.

  Moreover, even if the attachment piece 6 is long in a belt shape, the wing 4 is not damaged because it is formed of a flexible member.

  When a large tensile force is applied to the belt-like ring 3 when grasping the attachment piece 6 or the like, the belt-like ring 3 is broken through the notch 8, so that the neck 2 of the chicken 1 is not damaged by the tensile force.

It is a perspective view which shows embodiment of the individual identification tag for poultry of this invention. It is a perspective view of the state attached to the neck of the chicken which shows the embodiment of the individual identification tag for poultry of the present invention. It is a perspective view in the state where the linear member which shows the embodiment of the fixed identification tag for poultry of the present invention is hooked on the base of the wing.
