Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a tail-mounted livestock status data collection device according to the present invention includes a band 100 worn on the tail of a livestock; A mount case 200 fixed to one side of the band 100 and positioned to face the rectum and the urethra of the livestock; A urine chemical analysis module (300) mounted on an upper surface of the mount case (200) and acquiring manure excreted in the urethra of a livestock to perform urine chemical analysis of urine; A blood vessel image acquirer (500) mounted on a lower portion of the mount case (200) and irradiating a light source to a tail of a livestock to acquire a projected blood vessel image; A control unit 600 installed inside the mount case 200 and connected to the urea chemical analysis module 300 and the blood vessel image acquirer 500 to process data transmitted from the respective components and generate state data of the animal, ; A data transmitter 700 mounted in the mount case 200 and connected to the controller 600 to transmit status data of a livestock transmitted from the controller 600 to the outside; A battery 800 mounted in the mount case 200 and connected to the urine chemical analysis module 300, the blood vessel image acquirer 500, the controller 600, and the data transmitter 700 to supply power; A pulsation detection sensor 410 mounted on the lower portion of the mount case 200 for detecting the pulsation of the artery passing through the tail of the livestock, And a body temperature sensor 420 for detecting the body temperature of the tail of the livestock, and may be connected to the controller 600 to transmit the sensed data to the controller.

2, the band 100 is fixed to one side and is coupled with a mount case 200 positioned to face a rectum and a urethra of a livestock, A band buckle 110 for fastening to the tail of the livestock is formed.

In the case of the band buckle 110, it is preferable to adjust the tightening of the band by changing the fastening point so that the band can be adjusted to the tail of the other livestock, Since the case 200 should be positioned so as to face the rectum and urethra of the livestock, it is mounted on the upper end where the tail of the livestock starts, and the mount case 200 is positioned so as to face the rectum and urethra of the livestock.

Next, referring to FIG. 3, the urine chemical analysis module 300 performs a urine chemical analysis using near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and generates a light source for measuring the manure of the obtained livestock A light source 310 for emitting light; A sample storage part 320 for storing the manure sample of the livestock so that the light source irradiated by the light source 310 is transmitted to the manure of the livestock; A spectroscopic processing unit 330 for measuring the output light transmitted through the livestock manure sample of the sample storage unit 320 and converting the output light into a digital signal; And a housing 340 receiving the light source 310, the sample receiver 320, and the spectroscopic processor 330.

First, in the case of the light source generating unit 310, a light source is provided to the sample receiving unit 320 as a part for generating and providing light for measuring an animal manure sample.

At this time, the light source 310 may be a tungsten halogen lamp emitting near infrared rays in a band of 400 nm to 2,500 nm, for example.

Next, the sample storage part 320 receives the manure sample of the livestock so that the input light from the light source 100 is transmitted to the manure sample of the livestock.

For example, since manure secreted from the urethra of a livestock is radially released, a sample acquiring unit 321 is formed in which a through hole is formed to contact a manure to be radially injected while partially contacting the manure, And a sample cell 322 on which the sample is placed.

The sample cell 322 is made of a material that allows the sample cell 322 to penetrate the sample cell 322 without affecting the input light from the light source 310 when the sample is not received therein. For example, .

The input light guided from the light source 310 to the sample receiver 320 is transmitted through the sample cell 322 and is guided to the spectroscopic processor 330.

At this time, the light absorptance or the light reflectance varies depending on the components (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium), moisture, and organic content of the cattle sample housed in the sample cell 322, By analyzing the output light transmitted through the sample cell 322, it is possible to analyze the components of the livestock manure sample. The principle and procedure of the spectroscopic analysis method are well known and will not be described in detail.

Next, the spectroscopic processing unit 300 measures the output light transmitted through the livestock manure sample of the sample storage unit 320 and converts it into a digital signal.

For example, the spectroscopic processing unit 330 may include a process of dispersing the output light transmitted through the sample cell 322 by wavelength, a process of converting the output light into an electrical signal proportional to the intensity of the output light dispersed by wavelength, A process of filtering the amplified electrical signal, a process of converting the amplified electrical signal into a digital signal through an A / D converter, and converting the output light into a digital signal.

The color filter includes a yellow filter And a cyan filter formed at the rear end of the yellow filter.

The white light is applied to the light source 510 and the wavelength of the LED light source converted through the color filter on the first optical system 520 is 500 nm to 700 nm.

The blood vessel image acquirer 500 may further include a light source 510 disposed between the first optical system 520 and the blood vessel tissue and having a wavelength range changed through the first optical system 520 in a range of 540 to 550 nm, And a polarized beam separator 540 for separating the light into a wavelength range of 570 to 580 nm and irradiating the light to vascular tissues.

Next, referring to FIG. 4, the data transmitter 700 performs data transmission including each unique signal for each of the tail-mounted livestock state data collecting devices, so that the state of each livestock In other words, the tail-mounted livestock state data collecting device of the present invention is mounted on a plurality of livestock, and a unique signal code And the management server receiving the data may store the data for each livestock entity so that the data can be delivered to the manager.
