Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to breeding information input means for inputting breeding information for managing breeding of dairy cows in association with individual identification information, and breeding information input from the breeding information input means. The present invention relates to a dairy management device provided with output means for outputting in association with identification information.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Breeding information for managing breeding of dairy cows includes, for example, a scheduled estrus date, a date when the dairy cow is confirmed to have conception (hereinafter abbreviated as a pregnancy inspection date), a delivery date, and a scheduled delivery date. There are, on the other hand, days when milking of dairy cows that have continued lactation is stopped (hereinafter abbreviated as dry days), expected dry days, and the like. Incidentally, it is usually desirable to dry milk about 60 days before parturition.
Conventionally, the above-mentioned breeding information is output to the output unit in association with the individual identification information of the dairy cow, and the breeding of the dairy cow is individually managed.

[0003]

By the way, for dairy cows, it is necessary to perform various managements such as breeding and milking.
Such management is preferably performed not only based on the breeding information but also based on both the breeding information and the milking information in terms of dairy farming and dairy cow health. For example, when estrus occurs, milk yield decreases, that is, there is a cow whose milking amount decreases.If the milking amount decreases, it is determined whether the decrease in milking amount is due to estrus or disease. There is a need to. Artificial insemination is usually carried out 60 to 90 days after the date of parturition. However, for cows with a large amount of milk and a large amount of milk, it is preferable in management to delay the artificial insemination and continue milking. However, in the conventional device, the breeding information is simply output to the output unit in association with the individual identification information of the dairy cow, so that the dairy cow can only be managed based on the breeding information alone.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a dairy management apparatus capable of managing dairy cows based on both breeding information and milking information.

[0005]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, the breeding information and the milking information of each of the plurality of dairy cows are output to the output means in a state where they can be listed in association with the individual identification information. Therefore, various managements such as breeding and milking of dairy cows can be performed based on both breeding information and milking information.

[0006] Based on the reproduction information and milking information of each of a plurality of dairy cows which are output to the output means in a state where the dairy cows can be listed in association with the individual identification information, for example, the following dairy cow management is performed. it can. The milking volume of dairy cows during the normal lactation period is slightly different among the dairy cows, but when viewed as a plurality of dairy cows, the milking amount of each dairy cow is almost the same, and the difference is not so large. Therefore, for example, a dairy cow whose milking amount is smaller than other dairy cows can be determined from the plurality of milking information output to the output unit in association with the individual identification information. When there is a dairy cow whose milking amount is smaller than that of other dairy cows, the breeding information of the cow can be known from the output result of the output means. And, for example, by confirming the expected estrus date, whether the decrease in milking volume is due to estrus, or regardless of estrus,
For example, it can be determined whether the cause is a disease. Also, from the output result of the output means, if it is found that there is a dairy cow whose scheduled date of artificial insemination is approaching, it is possible to know whether the milking amount of the dairy cow is large or small based on the milking information of the dairy cow. It can be determined whether to perform artificial insemination or to delay artificial insemination and continue milking.

According to the characteristic configuration of the present invention, in addition to the reproduction information and milking information of each of the plurality of dairy cows, the weight information of each of the plurality of dairy cows can be listed in association with the individual identification information on the output means. Output in status. For example, immediately after parturition, the body weight decreases, but the milking amount increases, and thereafter, as the number of days passes, the body weight gradually increases, and the milking amount tends to decrease gradually. Then, immediately after delivery, if the weight is extremely reduced, there is a risk of perinatal disease.
Immediately after parturition, the milking amount may not increase so much that there may be a health problem. Therefore, when there is a dairy cow immediately after parturition, by observing the milking amount and weight, it is possible to determine the discovery of the disease and the degree of its recovery.

[0008] According to the characteristic configuration of the third aspect, in addition to the reproduction information and milking information of each of the plurality of dairy cows, the output means associates the mastitis determination result of each of the plurality of dairy cows with the individual identification information. It is output in a state where it can be listed. When dairy cows suffer from mastitis, milk production is reduced due to reduced milk production. Therefore, when there is a dairy cow with a reduced milking amount, the cause can be determined not only in the reproductive state but also in the presence of mastitis.

According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, when a specific output information item is selected by the item selecting means,
Detailed information on the output information item is output to the output means. Therefore, when outputting to the output unit in a state where it can be listed in association with the individual identification information, the output information of each output information item should be, for example, limited to a minimum necessary information to determine a significant difference from others. Therefore, the information of a larger number of dairy cows can be output in a state where it can be viewed.
Therefore, the information of many dairy cows can be seen at one time, and the output result is limited to the minimum necessary information and is simple, so that it can be used for breeding management, milking management, health management, etc. Can be efficiently and easily identified. In addition, since detailed information on a desired output information item can be output as needed, there is no problem when checking detailed information.

According to the fifth aspect, when milking information is selected as an output information item by the item selecting means, the latest milking information of each of the plurality of cows and milking information earlier than the milking information are displayed. Is output to the output means in a state where it can be listed in association with the individual identification information. Therefore, it is possible to confirm changes over time in milking information for each dairy cow,
For example, since it is possible to determine whether the change in the milking amount is temporary or continuous, it is possible to perform finer and more precise management.

According to the characteristic configuration of the present invention, when the weight information is selected as the output information item by the item selecting means, the recent weight information of each of the plurality of dairy cows and the weight information earlier than the weight information are displayed. Is output to the output means in a state where it can be listed in association with the individual identification information. Therefore, it is possible to confirm the change over time of the weight information for each dairy cow,
For example, since it is possible to determine whether the weight has been continuously reduced, more detailed and highly accurate management can be performed.

According to the seventh aspect of the present invention, when the mastitis discrimination result is selected as the output information item by the item selecting means, the mastitis information for each udder of each of the plurality of cows is converted to the individual identification information. Is output to the output means in a state where it can be listed in association with. Therefore, it is possible to identify the breasts affected by mastitis from the cows determined to be affected by mastitis.

As the recent milking amount, the total milking amount in each milking operation performed on the day is displayed.

The determination of the presence or absence of an abnormality in the milking amount is performed by determining that the amount of decrease in the immediately preceding measured value is equal to or greater than a set value as abnormal. Then, the determination result is displayed in chronological order, and the determination result is displayed as a mark m that can identify whether the determination is normal or abnormal. For example,
In FIG. 5, the display of “L” is a display when the milking amount of the day has decreased by a set value or more with respect to the milking amount of the previous day,
The display of "LL" is a display when the milking amount of the day decreases by more than the set value with respect to the milking amount of the previous day, and the milking amount of the previous day decreases by more than the set value with respect to the milking amount of the previous day. ,
Up to three discrimination results, such as "LLL", are displayed. When the latest determination result is normal and the immediately preceding determination result is abnormal, the display indicating the previous abnormality is stopped.

The display section A4 displays, as the weight information, the recent weight and the result of the determination of the presence or absence of the weight abnormality for each dairy cow. As the recent weight, the average value of the measured values measured for each milking operation on the day is displayed. In determining whether there is an abnormality in the weight, when the amount of decrease from the immediately preceding measured value is equal to or greater than a set value, the weight is determined to be abnormal, and the mark m is displayed in chronological order, similarly to the determination result of the milking amount.

The determination as to whether or not the subject has mastitis is based on the mastitis information (electrical conductivity) of each of the four udders of each cow, and the difference between the minimum value and the maximum value is equal to or greater than the set value. When
It is configured to determine that the patient has mastitis.
This is because the value of the electric conductivity when not suffering from mastitis varies among cows. The determination result of whether or not the patient has mastitis is displayed in chronological order, and the determination result is displayed by a mark m that can identify whether it is normal or abnormal. For example, in FIG.
The display of “L” is a display when the determination result of the current day is abnormal, the display of “LL” is a display when the determination results of the current day and the previous day are abnormal, and “LLL” is displayed. Thus, up to three discrimination results are displayed. When the latest determination result is normal and the immediately preceding determination result is abnormal, the display indicating the previous abnormality is stopped.

In order to determine whether or not there is an abnormality in the ranking, when the ranking of each dairy cow is lower than or equal to the set value, it is determined to be abnormal, and the determination result is chronologically determined in the same manner as the determination result of mastitis. , Mark m.

As described above, in the display of the results of determination of whether or not there is an abnormality in the milking amount, whether or not there is an abnormality in the weight, whether or not there is an abnormality in the mastitis information, and whether or not there is an abnormality in the ranking, If it is normal and the result of the immediately preceding determination is abnormal, the display indicating the previous abnormality is stopped. In other words, when the abnormality determination result is only one time, or when the abnormality determination result is continuous but the number of times is up to two times, it is considered that erroneous information is input from each input means, etc. Determines that there is no abnormality in health etc.,
When the abnormality determination result is repeated three times, it can be determined that the dairy cow has an abnormality in health or the like.
