2. Description of the Prior Art Just as fingerprints are used to identify people, livestock such as cows also need a means for identifying individuals. Generally, the nose print is formed on the surface of the nose. Is used as an individual identification means. In the case of Holstein cows, it can be identified by the markings on the body, but in the case of Japanese cattle it cannot be used because there are no markings. Other individual identification markers for livestock include microchips and ear tags embedded in the body, but lack of certainty due to damage and dropping. For this reason, the nose print is generally used as a means of identifying individuals, and the pedigree of Wagyu is
The place of origin, producer, date of birth, etc. are described, and a nose print is attached.

Conventionally, this nose print is made by applying ink or the like to the nose of a domestic animal with a roller and sticking water-absorptive paper to the nose print. In particular, in the case of calves, it is often difficult to discriminate later because the groove of the nose print is shallow. Further, since the name of India ink is applied to the nose of the livestock for collection, there is a drawback that the nose of the livestock, the operator, or the collection site becomes dirty. Recently, a nose print collection system that uses a barcode reader has been proposed, but unlike reading a barcode that is displayed in black with the ground color being white, the nose print of livestock is composed of irregularities. Since there is no clear color tone or shadow from the beginning, the barcode reader cannot reliably and clearly recognize the nose print. This is especially true for calves with a shallow nose print.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been succeeded in the development of a device for picking up a nose print extremely clearly as a result of many years of research in view of the above points. Where, the dark box, the photographing means provided in one of the dark boxes, the opening provided on the opposite side, and the ring-shaped fluorescent light whose annular surface is orthogonal to the photographing axis of the photographing means inside the opening. A nose print collecting device characterized by being equipped with a light. The dark box is a housing that darkens the inside for shooting.
A photographing means is provided on one of the dark boxes. The photographing means includes a camera and a video camera. On the opposite side of the dark box where the photographing means is provided, an opening is formed in which the mouth of livestock can be inserted. It is desirable that this opening be circular so that it will not be damaged when the mouth of livestock is hit.

Inside the opening, a ring-shaped fluorescent lamp having a diameter larger than the diameter of the opening so as not to hit the mouth of the livestock is provided so that the ring-shaped surface is orthogonal to the photographing axis of the photographing means. The ring-shaped fluorescent lamp is arranged so that the ring-shaped surface of the ring-shaped fluorescent lamp is oriented so as to be orthogonal to the photographing axis of the photographing means.

In order to use the device of the present invention, the nose part of the livestock is inserted through the opening, the nose pattern surface is positioned inside the ring-shaped fluorescent lamp, and the ring-shaped fluorescent lamp is illuminated to photograph the nose pattern. To do.
In this case, the nose print portion is almost parallel to the ring-shaped surface of the ring-shaped fluorescent lamp, receives light from all four sides by the ring-shaped fluorescent lamp, and the groove portion of the nose-printed portion is shaded and photographed as a clear outline of the nose-printed portion. . That is, the convex portion of the nose print is bright and the concave portion is shade.

As described above, in the present invention, the dark box, the photographing means provided on one side of the dark box, the opening provided on the opposite side, and the annular surface inside the opening are photographed by the photographing means. Since it is composed of a ring-shaped fluorescent lamp which is orthogonal to the axis, it has a simple structure, can be provided at low cost, and can photograph and record a nasal pattern very clearly. Moreover, since the nose of the livestock is not contacted, the nose of the livestock, the operator or the collecting site is not contaminated.
