Description

The invention relates to the field of information services technology in livestock breeding, in particular to verification of the correctness and completeness of identification information about breeding animals.

From available sources the general rules for assigning nicknames, numbering and labeling of animals are known (Borisenko, E.Ya. Workshop on breeding farm animals [Text] / E.Ya. Borisenko, KV Baranova, A.P. Lisitsyn. - Ed. 2nd, revised - M .: Kolos, 1972. - 232 p .; p. 67-69; Basovsky, N.Z. Tribal work: Reference [Text] / N.Z. Basovsky, N.G. Dmitriev, BV Alexandrov [et al.]. - M .: Agropromizdat, 1988. - 559 p .; p. 113-116) in breeding, from which it follows that the main identification signs of animals are nickname and numbers assigned to the animal when birth, at the time of transfer from one technological group (young growth) to another (cows), assigned during tagging, when recording in the state studbook, etc.

It is also known "REGULATION on the state system of tagging and identification of breeding animals. Cattle. Milk and meat breeds. SNPplem R 8-96 ”(approved by the Department of Livestock and Breeding Affairs of the Ministry of Agriculture of Russia on May 31, 1996, access mode: http://mcx.ru/documents/document/v7_show_print/6094.191.htm), which describes the procedure for assigning an identification number breeding animal, as well as the seed of imported animals. In contrast to the sources cited earlier in the “Regulation”, clause 8 indicates the possibility of using the name of the organization-owner (unique registration code), animal identification number, date of birth, mother identification number as animal identifiers.

The disadvantages of the known solutions are the insufficient practicality of identification records using traditional methods for identifying (by nickname and individual number) animals in production conditions, the inability to apply the “position” clauses to already abandoned animals, which has been shown in practice to cause errors in the Russian breeding system identification of breeding animals.

The prior art knows about the preliminary process of identifying an object - in this case, a person, his verification, real-time verification of the provided identification information, an automatic comparison unit, authentication of information on a reference database and logging of verification and authentication operations with subsequent storage in the database reporting (RU 2419154 C2, 2011 - prototype).

The disadvantage of the prototype is the inability to use it to identify breeding animals, verification and authentication of identification information about breeding animals.

The technical result is the expansion of functionality, ensuring the reliability of identification of breeding animals, eliminating errors in identifying records, ensuring fault tolerance of databases of identification records in the genealogical analysis of information about breeding animals, as well as restoring zootechnical integrity of information, creating conditions for automating the analysis of family ties of animals with large-scale breeding.

The technical result is achieved by the fact that in the method of verification of identification records of breeding animals, including a preliminary passage of the identification procedure of the object, its verification, a real-time verification of the provided identification information, an automatic comparison unit, authentication of information on a reference database and recording verification and authentication operations with subsequent storage in the reporting database, according to the invention, as an object identification of breeding animals, including the nickname, individual number, international registration number, gender, date of birth, breed and pedigree, breeding number, number of the national animal breeding system, nickname and father number, nickname and mother’s name, and verification of the information provided is carried out by automatic comparison and manual verification, then to increase the accuracy of verification, they additionally use a reference database of identification records, according to which the automatic comparisons provide record selection and manual authentication.

The novelty of the method lies in the fact that, by understanding the identification record of an animal as a composite multicomponent complex of high-quality easily identifiable features, a system for checking the correctness of each component against other components of the identification record is proposed. Moreover, none of the components has a controlling role in verifying the correctness of the information and all components of the identification record are equally in doubt.

Modern electronic accounting systems (for example, the information-analytical system SELEX) provide technical error-free processing of data. However, there is the problem of incorrectly entering identification information into the databases, the formation of which is affected by the human factor (typos, abbreviations), the ambiguity of information from different primary sources (recording multiforms, multi-numbering in different national tribal systems). The introduction of different forms of recording about the same animal in one database violates the zootechnical integrity of the information, making the results of genealogical research incorrect, but does not violate the technical performance of the database.

There is also the problem of distortion of identification records in different accounting systems (foreign official databases, export certificates, tribal records from various official sources). Using information from different systems makes records poorly comparable or incompatible, which creates the effect of “cloning” records in different forms on the same animal within the same database. Without a special exclusion of distortion of records (recording multiforms of one animal) of bringing identification features to the same type, computer analysis does not have the ability to correctly process family relationships in pedigrees. Distortion of identification in tribal records is technically and legally unacceptable.

To eliminate this contradiction, within the framework of the method, it is proposed to use the commonly used concept of “identification information” as a composite identifier, each part (identification feature) of which can be checked for the accompanying identification features.

The following commonly used terms are used.

Identification sign - a separate component of the identification information about the animal.

Identification features:

- qualitative in nature;

- are, are established or extend their effect from the moment of birth of the animal;

- do not require special equipment and techniques for determining the parameter;

- do not change throughout life.

Identification information - a group of identification features that meet the general requirements for identification features, and related to one animal.

The identification information of the animal includes the following identification characteristics: name, individual number, gender, date of birth, breed and breed of the animal, tribal number, nicknames and numbers of the parents of the animal.

Identification record - a variant of identification information that occurs within the same database, relating to one animal, artificially in need of verification.

The invention is illustrated in the drawing, where in Fig. 1 shows a verification scheme of identification records of breeding animals; in fig. 2 shows the relationship between the concepts of "identification information" and "identification signs"; in fig. Figure 3 shows a possible sequence of sequential database checks.

14 - operator evaluates recording options for matching entries from the reference database in manual mode and selecting the appropriate entry as the correct one. Subjective, not impersonal;

15 - transmission of verified data and the correction protocol to the client.

16 - identification information as a composite identifying breeding animal parameter;

17 - artificially questioned part of the identification information (IPSip);

18 - known parameters (criteria) for the selection of concomitant IPSip part of the identification information (KO);

19 - accompanying identification features (CS), not involved in the selection, but evaluated for coincidence with each other.

The verification method of identification records of breeding animals is as follows.

The method is based on the preliminary passage of the identification procedure of the object, where breeding animals are used as the object, namely their identification records generated during the identification procedure, including the nickname, individual number, international registration number, gender, date of birth, breed and breed, breeding number , number of the national tribal system of the animal, nickname and number of the father, nickname and number of the mother.

Client 1 provides a database 2 or other source of identification of breeding animals 3, 4, which needs to be verified. Information is transmitted 5 to the verification and authentication system of identification records, while the data is reorganized into a special analytical format.

Verification of the object 6 is carried out in real time using the automatic comparison unit 7 and the subsequent manual verification of 8, 10 identification signs. Each verification operation is logged 9 with the results stored in the reporting database. Then, to increase the accuracy of the verification results, an additional reference database of identification records 12 is additionally used, according to which the automatic comparison unit 7 provides the selection of records and their manual authentication 10, 14. Each authentication verification operation is logged 9 with the results stored in the reporting database.

The automatic comparison unit, using the components of the expanded concept of “identification record” 16 and relying on selection criteria 18, artificially questions certain parts of concept 17 and provides the operator with records selected from the database being tested, characterized by possible ambiguous identification of the same animal. The operator evaluates the differences of characters 17, 18, 19 in the records and either selects the correct option or rejects all options as not related to one animal. Depending on the choice of the operator, the system either makes or does not make changes to the database being checked, logging the changes.

The problem of discrepancies and errors in the identification records is solved by sequential comparison of the artificially questioned part of the identification information 17 with the known selection parameters of the accompanying part 18 while preserving the determining influence of the human factor on the accuracy and reliability of the verification and authentication results. Identification information is considered correct only if all selected records for one animal completely coincide for each identification characteristic, including identification signs 19 that are not involved in the selection.

Upon completion of the verification, the client receives 15 verified databases and a correction protocol.

The comparison is nonlinear and can vary arbitrarily. But in the end it should lead to one result. In fig. Figure 3 shows a possible sequence of sequential database checks.

The decision by the operator to correct the information is based on the zootechnical features of the formation of accounting information. Each animal should ultimately have unique identification information. At the same time, it is assumed that individual signs of identification information, including individual numbers, may coincide in different animals, but absolutely all signs in different animals cannot coincide.

Specific examples of the implementation of the verification method of the identification of breeding animals.

Example 1. If, when selecting records for one individual number, mismatch of the nicks was noted, but the coincidence of the parents, date of birth, breed and breed of the animal was noted, then, probably, the name was distorted (multiform) of the record. You must manually select the correct option.

At the verification stage (6), entries in IAS SELEX are reduced to one form by replacing clicks with an operator of subjective choice by, for example, the most informative BRIDEL GOLDVIN.

At the authentication stage (11), the operator will select the correct entry and the nickname of the bull BRIDEL GOLDVIN will be replaced by BRAEDALE GOLDWYN.

At the verification stage (6) on the father, the operator will have to evaluate whether the records about the bull belong to the same animal or if they are talking about half-brothers. In this case, we are talking about the same animal, which is assigned an individual number 17036332 in the USA and 780180664 in the Netherlands. The international identification number has the Dutch number. Therefore, the operator, if he is aware of this, will select record number 780180664 as correct for correction.

If the operator is not aware, then at the authentication stage (11) he will be offered a qualifying selection by group of numbers, which will lead to an additional verification of the identity of both identification records to one animal and the resulting increase in the accuracy of verification.

Example 2. If during the simultaneous selection of records by nickname and number different parent records are revealed, then, most likely, a genealogical distortion of information is allowed. You must manually select the correct option.

At the stage of verification (6) of information about the mother, the operator will not be able to select the correct option and will be forced to request information in the reference database. If there is no information in the reference database, then the operator is forced to turn to third-party official resources, from where information in a verified form can be entered into the reference database.

At the authentication stage (11), the operator will receive information from the reference database that the real mother is the cow BRUNE 84 FRA 2286037388, which will be chosen as a sure sign with the subsequent replacement of genealogically incorrect information in the records.

Similarly, verification of birth dates, breeds and pedigrees, tribal numbers is carried out.

Determining the correct option for a recording error or a genealogical error cannot be automated. It is necessary to analyze records in third-party sources and, in accordance with the results, select the correct option (example 1) or refuse all the options offered by selection as not corresponding to the correct option and use the correct option (example 2). The need for subjective assessment characterizes the human factor as determining the accuracy and reliability of the results of verification and authentication of identification records. In addition, any changes made to the database as a result of verification, in this case are impersonal.
