Description

Average weight calculation and management system for Spawning poultry, and average weight calculation and management method using it}

The present invention relates to a system for calculating and managing an average weight of poultry for laying eggs, and a method for calculating and managing an average weight using the same.In more detail, information on the growing environment from a poultry perspective is obtained using a weight measuring device installed in a poultry house. It can be obtained, and weight data can be obtained to derive the average weight.Therefore, the average weight calculation and management system for laying poultry that can easily manage the weight of the poultry, and the average weight calculation and management method using the same About.

In general, poultry such as chickens and ducks raised for spawning is fed into a poultry house of a farm in the form of chicks, raised as poultry for spawning, and then reared for a certain period of time to spawn.

At this time, the weight of the poultry is included among the factors that determine the quality of the spawn because the size of the spawn depends on the weight of the livestock.

Thus, in the related art, a method was used in which a person was directly put into a poultry house to catch the poultry one by one and place it on a scale to measure its weight.

However, this method consumes a lot of manpower, has a cumbersome need to separate the measured poultry one by one, and has a disadvantage in that it is difficult to accurately measure the weight when measuring the weight, especially because there is a lot of movement due to the habit of poultry.

Accordingly, Korean Patent Registration No. 10-0437677'Scale for weighing chickens' proposed a technology to increase accuracy by limiting the movement of chickens by applying a funnel-shaped container with an open top to the weighing scale.

However, the above'chicken weighing scale' improved the accuracy of measurement, but it consumes manpower and does not solve the hassle of having to separate the measured chickens. Also, the chickens relieve stress by limiting the movement of the chickens. There is a drawback that adversely affects the quality.

Accordingly, in recent years, as the image system is developed, an image recognition method has been proposed in which the image system is installed in a poultry house to determine the weight by the size of the poultry.

Such an image recognition method has the advantage of measuring the weight of the poultry without stressing the poultry, and it does not consume a lot of manpower, and has the advantage of accumulating a large amount of weight data. Accurate measurement is difficult when flapping, etc., objects may overlap during measurement, and there are disadvantages that require delicate filtering, such as room for distortion of the wide-angle lens of the camera, and depth of feathers and skin. In addition, due to this disadvantage, there is a problem in that the error rate is large due to a large deviation in weight depending on the measurement point.

On the other hand, since the breeding environment also has a great influence on the poultry's spawning products, environmental management factors such as temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide, ammonia, ventilation and various facilities (other control equipment) in the house act in a complex way with each other and It influences productivity.

Therefore, in order to improve the productivity of poultry farms, it is necessary to effectively operate and manage the above facilities.In particular, chickens consume more oxygen per unit weight and generate carbon dioxide gas compared to other livestock, so air pollution inside the house is severe. If ventilation is not done properly, it is a very important issue to improve the growth environment in the house because it causes coccidiosis, enteritis, respiratory diseases, etc., resulting in a high mortality rate, as well as delayed growth and poor feed efficiency. can do.

To ensure that, by installing a weighing device in the poultry house to measure the weight of the poultry, and by deriving the average weight from the measured weight data, the manager adjusts the amount of feed provided to the poultry according to the average weight to facilitate weight. To be able to manage.

At this time, since the spawning poultry is bred for one or more years to produce spawning products, the average weight calculation is preferably calculated on a weekly basis, that is, every week.

Here, there are two types of poultry companies: pyeongsa poultry and cage poultry, and the shape of the weighing device and the method of deriving the average weight may vary according to the difference between these poultry companies.

Accordingly, the system for calculating and managing the average weight of poultry for spawning according to an embodiment of the present invention and the method for calculating and managing the average weight using the same will be described as Example 1 and Example 2 by dividing the average weight calculation and management method into pyeongsa poultry and cage poultry. .

1 is a configuration diagram of a system for calculating and managing an average weight of poultry for laying eggs according to a first embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 is a diagram of a system for calculating and managing the average weight of poultry for laying eggs according to a first embodiment of the present invention. A perspective view showing a weighing device, FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an induction part further included in the weighing device of FIG. 2, and FIG. 4 is an average weight calculation and management of poultry for laying eggs according to the first embodiment of the present invention. It is a block diagram showing the weight measurement/management server of the system.

Referring to Figure 1, the average weight calculation and management system of poultry for laying eggs according to the first embodiment of the present invention, a weight measuring device (10a) is installed in the average poultry for laying eggs to calculate the average weight, and average It relates to a system for managing weight according to weight, and may include a weight measurement device 10a, a weight measurement/management server 20, and a monitoring unit 30.

First, the weighing device 10a is installed in the pyeongsa poultry house, and it is possible to measure the growing environment and the weight of the poultry in real time using a load cell and an environmental sensor.

In addition, the weighing device 10a is formed to be suitable to be installed in the pyeongsa poultry house, and is formed by reflecting the behavioral habits of the poultry, so that the poultry can rise by itself and measure the weight of the poultry in real time. Weight data can be obtained.

At this time, the weight measuring device (10a) may be installed two or more spaced a certain distance in the pyeongsa poultry house in order to measure the weight of the poultry that does not overlap as much as possible, it is preferable that three are installed.

That is, it is preferable that two or more weighing devices 10a are installed in each weighing device 10a in consideration of the distance, since poultry existing within a certain range rises by itself.

The cell plate 11a is a space for accommodating poultry, and when the poultry rises on the cell plate 11a of the weighing device 10a, the weight may be measured.

In addition, the cell plate 11a may be formed in a circular plate shape, but this is only the first embodiment of the present invention, and thus is not limited thereto.

The cell moving pipe 12a supports the cell plate 11a and may be moved up and down. To this end, the cell moving pipe 12a has a lower end connected to the cell plate 11a to fix the cell plate 11a, and the upper end of the cell moving pipe 12a can be connected so that it can move up and down with the cell control unit 14a. have.

In addition, the upper end of the cell plate 11a may be inserted into the guide holder 13a and connected to the cell control unit 14a, and the guide holder 13a serves as a guide for vertical movement.

That is, when the poultry rises on the cell plate 11a, the cell moving pipe 12a goes down. At this time, the size of the cell moving pipe (12a) going downward varies depending on the weight of the poultry.

In addition, when the poultry is on the cell plate 11a and then descends, the cell moving pipe 12a rises upward and is positioned in place.

The guide holder 13a may guide the movement of the cell moving pipe 12a and may fix the cell moving pipe 12a so that it does not shake.

In addition, the guide holder 13a has a hole formed in the center, so that the cell moving pipe 12a can move up and down along the hole.

The cell control unit 14a has a guide holder 13a and a cell moving pipe 12a connected to the lower side, and equipped with a load cell and an environmental sensor to measure the weight according to the downward movement of the cell moving pipe and measure the growing environment. have.

That is, the cell moving pipe 12a is moved downward according to the weight of the poultry, and the load cell increases as it moves downward, causing deformation, and the deformation measurement device detects the amount of deformation as an electrical signal and converts it into a digital signal to convert the weight into a number. Poultry can be weighed in a way that can be derived from.

In addition, the cell control unit 14a is equipped with an environmental sensor capable of measuring temperature (℃), carbon dioxide (ppm), humidity (%), and ammonia (ppm), respectively, so that the growing environment can be measured from the viewpoint of poultry. More precisely, the environment of the poultry can be controlled to a growing environment suitable for the poultry.

That is, since the difference in temperature and humidity measured according to the height within the poultry house is severe, it is necessary to measure the temperature and humidity at the location where the poultry exists, that is, from the perspective of the poultry, to more accurately determine the growing environment that affects the poultry. It can be measured.

In addition, the cell control unit 14a may measure the weight and growth environment of poultry in the same manner as described above, and transmit weight data and growth environment information of the measured weight to the weight measurement/management server 20. Accordingly, the weight measurement/management server 20 may receive, collect, and store weight data of the measured weight from the weight measurement device 10a.

At this time, the weight data represents the weight value of the poultry transmitted from the weighing device 10a. In addition, the cell control unit 14a may be wirelessly connected with the weight measurement/management server 20 to transmit weight data and growth environment information to the weight measurement/management server 20.

The cell support 15a has an upper end connected to the cell control unit 14a to support the cell control unit 14a, and may be installed on the ground inside the poultry house.

In addition, the weight measuring device 10a may further include a haptic motor 16a.

The haptic motor 16a may be installed on the lower surface of the cell plate 11a, but since this is only the first embodiment of the present invention, it may be installed in various positions to give vibration to the cell plate 11a.

That is, by vibrating the cell plate 11a, the haptic motor 16a prevents certain poultry from continually remaining in the cell plate 11a by vibration, and a number of poultry evenly rises on the cell plate 11a. You can induce them to come.

The haptic motor 16a may be controlled and vibrated by the cell controller 14a. For example, it may be set in such a manner as to vibrate after the poultry weight is measured and controlled by the cell control unit 14a.

In addition, the weight measuring device 10a may further include an induction part 17a.

The induction unit 17a is controlled by the cell control unit 14a to automatically supply feed at a set time. That is, feed is supplied to the vicinity of the weighing device 10a through the induction part 17a, so that the number of times the poultry goes up to the weighing device 10a increases by attracting the poultry to the weighing device 10a.

To this end, the induction part 17a may include a feed container 170a, a stopper plate 173a, a rotation shaft 175a, and a motor 176a.

The feed container 170a may be fed and stored.

To this end, the feed container 170a may include an injection port 171a and an outlet port 172a.

The injection port 171a is formed on one side of the feed container 170a, so that feed may be injected from the outside. In addition, the injection port 171a may be opened and closed with a door.

The outlet 172a is formed on the lower surface of the feed container 170a, so that the feed inside the feed container 170a can be discharged. This outlet 172a may be opened and closed by a stopper plate 173a.

The stopper plate 173a is provided under the outlet 172a of the feed container 170a to open and close the outlet 172a.

To this end, the stopper plate 173a may be formed in a plate shape, and a supply hole 174a penetrating the upper and lower surfaces may be formed on one side.

Accordingly, the stopper plate always blocks the discharge port 172a, and if feed is supplied, the stopper plate 173a is rotated so that feed can be supplied if the location of the discharge port 172a and the supply hole 174a coincide.

The rotation shaft 175a is connected to the upper surface of the stopper plate 173a, so that the stopper plate 173a can be rotated by the rotation shaft 175a.

The rotation power of the rotation shaft 175a may be transmitted from the motor 176a by connecting the rotation shaft 175a to the motor 176a.

The motor 176a may be provided inside the upper portion of the feed container 170a, or may be provided outside and connected to the rotation shaft 175a.

In addition, the motor 176a may be provided as a bidirectional motor.

The induction part 17a is always blocked by the stopper plate 173a at the outlet 172a, and then the motor 176a is driven by the cell control unit 14a at a set time interval, so that the stopper plate 173a rotates and the supply hole (174a) is located at the location of the outlet (172a) to supply only a certain amount of feed, and by rotating again, the outlet (172a) can be blocked with the stopper plate (173a).

As shown in FIG. 3, the induction part 17a is formed so that feed can be supplied every time, but this is only the first embodiment of the present invention and is illustrative, and feed can be supplied every time through devices having various structures. have.

In addition, feed may be supplied near the weighing device 10a to serve as an induction, but it is supplied to the cell plate 11a of the weighing device 10a to allow livestock to eat the feed at all to the weighing device 10a. You can make it come up.

As described above, the weighing device 10a is formed by reflecting the behavioral habits that rise when looking at the space where spawning poultry (chicken, goose, duck, pheasant, etc.) can rise, so that the weight of the poultry can be measured in real time. There is an advantage to be able to.

Accordingly, labor and time are saved, and the poultry may not be stressed.

The weight measurement/management server 20 may receive weight data of the weight measured from the weighing device 10a, derive the average weight of the poultry, and generate weight management information using the derived average weight.

Referring to FIG. 4, the weight measurement/management server 20 may include a data storage unit 21, a weight derivation unit 22, a weight management unit 23, and a growth environment control unit 24.

Specifically, the data storage unit 21 may store weight data received from the weighing device.

In this way, the weight of the poultry is measured in real time with the weighing device 10a, and the measured weight data of the poultry is collected as much as possible. In addition, the data storage unit 21 may store the average weight derived from the weight derivation unit 22 in real time.

The weight derivation unit 22 can derive the average weight of the poultry using the weight data received from the weighing device 10a or stored in the data storage unit 21, and the derived average weight is transferred to the monitoring unit 30. Can be transmitted.

Here, the weight derivation unit 22 may derive the average weight of the poultry by densifying the collected mass data by a statistical method using a histogram and a normal distribution.

Specifically, the weight derivation unit 22 pre-processes the weight data collected for a certain period in real time, accumulates the pre-processed weight data to generate a histogram according to the weight and frequency, and estimates the kernel density using a Gaussian filter on the histogram. By applying, the smooth density function is estimated, and the average weight can be derived through the estimated smooth density function.

In addition, the weight derivation unit 22 can perform as above when the average weight is derived from the 1st week old car (the 1st car), but from the 2nd week old car (the 2nd car) or more, the collected weight data is generated as a histogram. You can initialize the previous histogram before.

In addition, the weight data that was already used when pre-processing the collected weight data is excluded from consideration.

A detailed description of the method for deriving the average weight will be described later in detail in the method for calculating and managing the average weight according to the first embodiment.

The weight management unit 23 may generate weight management information by comparing the average weight derived from the weight derivation unit 22 with a reference weight, and may transmit the generated weight management information to the monitoring unit 30.

Here, the weight management information may be one of less than the weight, the same weight, and more than the weight compared to the reference weight.

At this time, the reference weight corresponds to the weight in a state of good spawning, and the reference weight may be adjusted according to the type of poultry.

In this way, by comparing the average weight with the reference weight to generate weight management information and providing it to the manager through the monitoring unit 30, the manager can refer to the weight management information to determine the amount of feed provided to the poultry to match the standard weight. It can be easily adjusted. That is, it can provide convenience in weight management of poultry.

In addition, it is possible to manage the weight of the poultry according to the reference weight, thereby improving the quantity and quality of the spawn.

In addition, the weight management unit 23 may automatically adjust the amount of feed provided to the poultry from the feed supply unit (not shown), which is a device that supplies feed to the poultry according to the weight management information.

Accordingly, the amount of feed provided to the poultry is automatically adjusted without the care and judgment of the manager, so weight management can be made easy and convenient.

The growth environment controller 24 may control the environment of the poultry house according to the growth environment measured by the weighing device 10a.

That is, the growth environment control unit 24 may control an environment control device (not shown) such as a ventilation device, a temperature control device, and a humidity control device according to the growth environment information received from the weight measurement device 10a.

In addition, the growth environment control unit 24 may transmit the growth environment information and a control state for controlling the environment control device (not shown) to the monitoring unit 30.

In addition, the growing environment controller 24 may control the environment control device (not shown) according to the control information received from the monitoring unit 30.

The monitoring unit 30 may receive the average weight and weight management information derived from the weight measurement/management server 20 and provide it to the manager.

In addition, the monitoring unit 30 may receive growth environment information and control status from the weight measurement/management server 20 and provide it to the manager.

In addition, the monitoring unit 30 receives control information for controlling the environment control device (not shown) from the administrator and transmits it to the weight measurement/management server 20 to manually control the environment control device (not shown). To be able to do it.

In addition, the monitoring unit 30 may provide the manager with the date, time, and period during which poultry is being raised.

In addition, by outputting the data of the average poultry weight calculation and management system or all the processes that are in progress using the data, the poultry manager or other related persons can easily identify it.

In this case, the monitoring unit 30 may be a terminal provided in a poultry company, or a terminal such as a smartphone, tablet PC, computer, etc. owned by a user managing a plurality of poultry houses.

FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing an apparatus for weighing an average weight calculation and management system for spawning poultry according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 6 is an exemplary view illustrating operation when measuring the weight of FIG. 5.

In the system for calculating and managing the average weight of poultry for laying eggs according to the second embodiment of the present invention, a weight measuring device 10b is installed in the cage poultry house to calculate the average weight of the poultry for laying eggs, and to manage the weight according to the average weight. It relates to a system, and may include a weight measurement device (10b), a weight measurement/management server 20 and a monitoring unit 30.

Here, the system according to the second embodiment of the present invention, except for the weight measurement device 10b and the weight derivation unit 22 of the weight measurement/management server 20, according to the first embodiment of the present invention described above. It is substantially the same as the system.

Therefore, only the weight derivation unit 22 of the weight measurement device 10b and the weight measurement/management server 20 will be described.

First, the weighing device 10b is installed in a cage poultry house, and it is possible to measure the growing environment and the weight of the poultry in real time using a load cell and an environmental sensor.

At this time, the weighing device 10b is formed in a cage shape and may be installed to replace the cage of the poultry company. That is, by configuring the cage itself for accommodating the poultry in the cage poultry house with the weighing device 10b, the weight of the poultry can be measured in real time.

As described above, since the weighing device 10b is formed in a cage shape, the weight of a plurality of poultry accommodated in the weighing device 10b can be measured at once.

Here, since it is unreasonable to replace all of the multiple cages of the cage poultry company with the weighing device 10b, two or more may be installed at a certain distance, and three are preferably installed.

The weight measuring device 10b may include a cage 11b, a cage control unit 12b, and a fixing part 13b, referring to FIG. 5.

Cage (11b) is formed in the form of a box and each side is made of grate, so it can accommodate a number of poultry, and since this form is only the second embodiment, it accommodates a number of poultry and can be installed on the ground. If there is, it can be applied.

The cage control unit 12b is formed on the lower surface of the cage 11b, and is provided with a load cell and an environmental sensor to measure the weight according to the compression and measure the growing environment.

Specifically, the cage control unit 12b may include a cell plate 120b, a cell moving pipe 121b, and a cell control unit 122b.

The cell plate 120b may be formed in a rectangular plate shape, but since this is only a second embodiment of the present invention, it may be deformed according to the shape of the cage 11b. The cell plate 120b supports the poultry accommodated in the cage 11b, and thus may serve as a lower surface of the cage 11b.

The cell moving pipe 121b supports the cell plate 120b and may be moved up and down. To this end, the cell moving pipe 121b has an upper end connected to the cell plate 120b to fix the cell plate 120b, and the lower end may be connected to the cell control unit 122b so as to move up and down.

That is, when the cell plate 120b is pressed by the poultry mounted on the cell plate 120b, the cell moving pipe 121b is moved. At this time, the size in which the cell moving pipe 121b moves varies depending on the weight of the poultry.

The cell control unit 122b is connected to the lower end of the cell moving pipe 121b and installed on the lower surface of the cage 11b, and is equipped with a load cell and an environmental sensor to measure the weight according to the movement of the cell moving pipe 121b and monitor the growth environment. Can be measured.

In other words, the cell moving pipe (121b) is moved according to the weight of the poultry, and the load cell is pressed as much as it moves, causing deformation, and the deformation measurement device detects the amount of deformation as an electrical signal and converts it into a digital signal to derive the weight as a number. Poultry can be weighed in any way.

In addition, the cell control unit 122b is provided with an environmental sensor capable of measuring temperature (℃), carbon dioxide (ppm), humidity (%) and ammonia (ppm), respectively, and can measure the growing environment from the viewpoint of poultry. More precisely, the environment of the poultry can be controlled to a growing environment suitable for the poultry.

That is, since the difference in temperature and humidity measured according to the height within the poultry house is severe, it is necessary to measure the temperature and humidity at the location where the poultry exists, that is, from the perspective of the poultry, to more accurately determine the growing environment that affects the poultry. It can be measured.

In addition, the cell control unit 122b may measure the weight and growth environment of the poultry in the same manner as described above, and transmit weight data and growth environment information of the measured weight to the weight measurement/management server 20. Accordingly, the weight measurement/management server 20 may receive, collect, and store weight data of the measured weight from the weight measurement device 10b.

At this time, the weight data represents the weight value of the plurality of poultry transmitted from the weighing device 10b.

In addition, the cell control unit 122b may be wirelessly connected with the weight measurement/management server 20 to transmit weight data and growth environment information to the weight measurement/management server 20.

The fixing part 13b is a configuration capable of fixing the cell plate 120b so that the weight of the plurality of poultry from the cell control unit 122b is not continuously measured, and only when the weight of the plurality of poultry is to be measured, the cell plate 120b is By releasing the fixing, the weight may be measured from the cell control unit 122b.

To this end, the fixing part 13b may include a fixing bar 130b, an elevating bar 131b, and a fixing body 132b.

The fixing bar 130b may be formed in the cage 11b to be horizontal with the ground.

The elevating bar (131b) has an upper end connected to the lower side so as to be perpendicular to the fixing bar (130b), it is possible to elevate the fixture (132b).

The fixture 132b may be formed in a'b' shape and connected to the lower end of the elevating bar 131b to fix the cell plate 120b so that it does not move downward.

In order to measure the weight with this configuration, as shown in FIG. 6, the fixing body 132b is moved downward by the elevating bar 131b to release the fixing of the cell plate 120b, and the cell control unit 122b ), the weight can be measured, and after the measurement, when the fixture 132b is moved upward by the elevating bar 131b again, the cell plate 120b is fixed by the fixture 132b and from the cell control unit 122b. The weight may not be measured.

As described above, the weighing device 10b can measure the weight of a plurality of poultry in real time while a plurality of poultry is housed and reared.

Accordingly, labor and time are saved, and the poultry may not be stressed.

The weight measurement/management server 20 may include a data storage unit 21, a weight derivation unit 22, a weight management unit 23, and a growth environment control unit 24, as in the first embodiment of the present invention.

Since the data storage unit 21, the weight management unit 23, and the growth environment control unit 24 are the same as those of the first embodiment described above, detailed descriptions are omitted.

Here, the weight derivation unit 22 may derive the average weight by dividing the weight data received from the weight measuring device 10b or stored in the data storage unit 21 by the number of poultry accommodated in the weight measuring device 10b. In addition, the derived average weight may be transmitted to the monitoring unit 30.

In more detail, since two or more weighing devices 10b are installed, two can be described.

First, as an example, the weight derivation unit 22 combines the weight data measured from two or more weighing devices 10b and divides it by the sum of the number of poultry accommodated in the two or more weighing devices 10b to derive the average weight. I can.

In another example, the weight derivation unit 22 calculates the average weight by dividing the weight data measured from two or more weighing devices 10b by the number of poultry accommodated in each weighing device 10b, and adding the calculated average weight. By dividing by the number of weighing devices, the final average weight can be derived.

Since the monitoring unit 30 is the same as the first embodiment described above, a detailed description will be omitted.

Hereinafter, an average weight calculation and management method using the average weight calculation and management system for laying poultry according to the first and second embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 7 to 9.

7 is a flowchart sequentially showing an average weight calculation and management method using the average weight calculation and management system for laying poultry according to the first and second embodiments of the present invention, and FIG. 8 is a first embodiment of the present invention. It is a flowchart sequentially showing steps S200 of the method for calculating and managing the average weight using the average weight calculation and management system for laying poultry according to, and FIGS. 9 (a) to (c) are spawning according to the first embodiment of the present invention. It is an exemplary diagram showing a method of deriving the histogram, the estimated smooth density function, and the average weight generated by the method of calculating and managing the average weight using the average weight calculation and management system of the poultry.

First, the average weight calculation and management method using the average weight calculation and management system for laying poultry according to the first embodiment of the present invention uses the average weight calculation and management system according to the first embodiment. Corresponds to.

7 to 9, the average weight calculation and management method using the average weight calculation and management system for laying poultry according to the first embodiment of the present invention is the weight of the poultry measured from the weighing device installed in the poultry house. Step of receiving the weight measurement/management server as weight data (S100), the step of deriving the average weight of the poultry from the weight measurement/management server (S200), and generating weight management information using the derived average weight It may include a step S300 and a step S400 of receiving the derived average weight and weight management information to the administrator.

Specifically, in step S100, the weight measurement/management server 20 may receive and collect a plurality of weight data for a certain period through the weight measurement device 10a installed in the pyeongsa poultry house.

Step S200 is a step of deriving the average weight of the poultry by the weight measurement/management server 20 from the weight data collected from step S100, and as shown in FIG. 8, preprocessing the received and collected weight data (S210 ), accumulating the preprocessed weight data and generating a histogram according to the weight and frequency (S220), estimating the smooth density function by applying kernel density estimation using a Gaussian filter to the histogram (S230), and the estimated smooth density It may include a step (S240) of deriving the average weight through the function.

Step S210 is a step of pre-processing the collected weight data, and is to exclude weight data far below or far exceeding the preset reference weight.

That is, since the threshold value for the reference weight is set in advance, the step S210 may exclude weight data out of the range of the threshold value from the collected weight data.

Here, the threshold value may be set in the range of 0.8 to 1.3 times the reference weight, and the step S210 is to exclude weight data less than 0.8 times and exceeding 1.3 times the reference weight from the weight data, so that the weight data can be preprocessed. have.

Step S220 is a step of accumulating preprocessed weight data and generating a histogram according to weight and frequency, and a histogram may be generated through Equation 1.

[Equation 1]

Here, x is the weight, n is the number of collected weight data, h is the width of the Gaussian filter, Count(x) is the frequency of x, and Width(X) is the size of the histogram bin. In addition, 1 is preferable for h.

The histogram generated through Equation 1 as described above may be generated as shown in FIG. 9A. As shown in (a) of FIG. 9, the x-axis of the histogram is the weight, and the y-axis is the frequency of the weight measured by the weighing device 10a.

Step S230 is a step of estimating a smooth density function by applying kernel density estimation using a Gaussian filter to the histogram. A histogram in the shape of a discontinuous and angular rectangle is expressed as a function of a smooth linear shape so that average weight can be easily derived will be.

In this case, the smooth density function may be estimated through Equation 2.

[Equation 2]

Where x is the weight, h ^D is the width value in the histogram, P _KDE (x) is the density estimation result using the Gaussian filter corresponding to x, K is the Gaussian filter function, N is the Gaussian filter size, and D is the Gaussian filter. In defining the width, a parameter to reflect the size of the histogram bin, xx ⁽ⁱ is the filter size to which a Gaussian filter is applied from filter size 1 to N based on x to be calculated.

In this case, K is equal to Equation 3 below, and may be 1.

[Equation 3]

In addition, 49 is preferable for N.

As described above, the reason N is defined as 49 is that the kernel size is 49 g, and the Gaussian average of the reference x-24 to x+24 is calculated and calculated as P _KDE (x) of x.

At this time, in the case of kernel density estimation, it can be regarded as the sum of soft bumps placed on the observation point (x-axis weight), the estimated smooth density function determines the rising shape, and h ^D is called the amplitude and determines the width. .

The amplitude determines the overall graph shape and can play an important role in estimating the smooth density function. Therefore, h ^D is preferably 1.

The smooth density function estimated through Equation 2 may be expressed as shown in (b) of FIG. 9.

Step S240 is a step of generating weight management information using the derived average weight. When the section formed in a raised shape as shown in Fig. 9(c) in the smooth density function is called a cluster, the highest cluster ( The population with the highest frequency) is selected, and the maximum value of the selected population can be derived as the average weight of the poultry.

In this way, in order to derive the average weight and manage the weight, the steps S100 to S400 may be performed on a weekly basis, every week (one week) and stored in the data storage unit 21. When deriving the average weight from ), the step of initializing the previous histogram before generating the histogram may be further included.

That is, by initializing the previous histogram, the average weight of the week-age can be newly derived.

Step S300 is a step of generating weight management information by using the average weight derived from step S200, and may generate weight management information by comparing the derived average weight with a reference weight.

In step S400, after step S300, the weight measurement/management server 20 transmits the derived average weight and weight management information to the monitoring unit 30, and the monitoring unit 30 receives it and provides it to the manager. It is possible to easily manage the weight of the poultry by adjusting the amount of feed by viewing the average weight and weight management information through the monitoring unit 30.

In addition, the average weight calculation and management method may further include a step of adjusting the amount of feed provided to the poultry from the feed supply unit (not shown) by the weight measurement/management server 20 after step S300. .

That is, in the step of adjusting the feed amount, the weight measurement/management server 20 may automatically control the feed amount provided to the poultry by controlling the feed supply unit (not shown) according to the weight management information.

In addition, the average weight calculation and management method further includes the step of receiving, by the weight measurement/management server, the growth environment information measured from the weighing device, and the step of controlling the environment of the poultry company by the weight measurement/management server according to the growth environment information. In this way, the environment of the poultry company can be appropriately controlled for poultry breeding according to the growth environment information.

In the step of receiving the growth environment information measured from the weight measurement device by the weight measurement/management server, the growth environment is measured from the weight measurement device 10a, and the measured growth environment information is received by the weight measurement/management server 20. I can.

In the step of controlling the environment of the poultry company by the weight measurement/management server according to the growth environment information, the weight measurement/management server 20 operates the environment control device (not shown) according to the growth environment information based on the preset growth environment value. You can control the environment of the poultry house.
