Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for identifying and/or dispensing medicinal treatment in the form of a substance, such as powder, paste or liquid, to a wild animal, for example deer or wild boar, by means of an apparatus com- prising a gallows with a passage.
- An apparatus of this type is known for example from US Patent Specification No. 4.617.876, wherein cows are provided with ear tags with a code for information about the particular cow. As the cow enters the stable the ear tag is also designed to activate a receiving device to read data relating to the cow, whereupon the receiving device will activate a controlling device to dispense the correct feed ration to the cow according to a preestablished feed plan, possibly also comprising drugs to be administered to the cow together with the feed ration.
- the controlling device comprises a memory to record, store and possibly later pass on the data recorded about the particular cow during its feeding.
- the controlling device is also de- signed after the feeding to direct the animal back to con ⁇ tinued grazing outdoors or to direct the animal into a separate pen, and to be taken from there to be milked, to be bred or to be slaughtered.
- An apparatus of this description is not suitable for iden ⁇ tification and/or medicinal treatment of wild animals.
- wild animals In case the wild animals are fenced in, they may be driven into a funnel shaped pen and caught with a rope, or a net may be thrown over the wild animal in order to secure it to such an ex ⁇ tent as circumstances may require. Experience shows, however, that wild animals which are trapped this way, will often react so violently that they may hurt themselves.
- injection arrows containing anaesthetics, which will cause unconsciousness of the animal during the attachment of the ear tag.
- Injection arrows are rather costly in use, as an example a single shot with a injection arrow may cost between 800 and 1200 DKK.
- the method according to the in ⁇ vention which is advantageous in that the gallows is po ⁇ sitioned above a track used by the animal, that measuring devices adapted to measure data about the animal and its movement through the gallows are placed in the passage,- and that a controlling device is connected to the measur ⁇ ing devices, said controlling device being adapted to blow or spray out -the substance through a nozzle onto the back of the wild animal on the basis of the mentioned data.
- the controlling device control the amount of substance blown or sprayed out according to the data measured, it is achieved that the amount of substance is adapted to the size of the ani- mal, and that the drug is blown or sprayed out only as the animal moves through the passage in the direction of movement intended, which means that the drug is not blown or sprayed out in case the animal moves in the opposite direction.
- the data measured can also be used to decide whether the animal has been treated within an appropriate period of time prior to its present passage so that the animal is not treated again, or whether the time has extended beyond this period, requiring a new innoculation of the animal.
- the invention also relates to an apparatus of the type described in the initial part of claim 3 for use in connection with the implementation of the method mentioned, said apparatus being characteristic according to the invention in that measuring devices have been placed in the passage adapted to measure data about the animal and its movement through the gallows, whereby the gallows is provided with a controlling device connected to the measuring devices adapted to blow or spray the drug onto the back of the wild animal on the basis of the data measured.
- a suitable apparatus has hereby been provided for use in the implementation of the method, without unnecessarily frightening the animal and without the drug getting into the eyes of the animal causing possible irritation.
- the apparatus may consist of a gallows 2, which may for example be provided with two upright poles 3, 4, connected by an overhanging arm 5, whereby a gate opening or passage has been created, through which an animal can pass.
- the apparatus may also consist of naturally occurring ob ⁇ jects such as two trees on opposite sides of a path, which wild animals will follow on the way to and from a watering and/or feeding place, and said trees may be utilized as the upright poles 3, 4, the overhanging arm possibly being constituted by a branch of one of the trees positioned at reasonable height above the path.
- naturally occurring ob ⁇ jects such as two trees on opposite sides of a path, which wild animals will follow on the way to and from a watering and/or feeding place
- said trees may be utilized as the upright poles 3, 4, the overhanging arm possibly being constituted by a branch of one of the trees positioned at reasonable height above the path.
- the poles 3, 4 are mounted with a plate 6 respectively 7 facing each other, said plates being provided with measuring devices adapted to detect the passage of an animal between the plates.
- the measuring devices may for example be light sources 8 mounted on the plate 6, said light sources emitting visib ⁇ le or invisible light against photocells 9 placed on the plate 7.
- the body of the animal will break the beams of light emitted from the light sources 8 against the photocells 9, whereby a signal can be obtained indicating the passage of an ani ⁇ mal.
- a light source 8 may also be incorporated into a photocell 9 to constitute an integral unit, which can be placed on the plate 6, a reflecting material such as a mirror or a similar object which can reflect a beam of light emitted from the light source 8 against the photocell 9, being then placed on the plate 7.
- the conductors may be electric wires, which can conduct impulses in the form of voltage, light conductor cables, which can conduct impulses in the form of flashes, or other types of conductors.
- the drug would be sprayed out in any event without necessarily hitting the back of the animal; it may for example be blown out over the head of the animal which could be unpleasant, or it may possibly even harm the animal if the particular substance is dangerous to the eyes, or the substance could be blown out in front of the animal, whereby the substance would be wasted.
- pairs of light sources 8 and photocells 9 positioned at different horizontal heights above ground, it is possible in a similar way to determine the height of the animal and thereby its size. It should be taken into consideration, however, that an animal may walk with its head up or head down, which would give an incorrect im- pression of the size of the animal.
- This problem may be solved by using a weighing device such as a weighing cell, which is not illustrated in the drawing, and the data of said weighing device, in conjunction with the data recorded by the remaining measuring devices, may serve the purpose of determining the species of the particular animal.
- the drawing illustrates a first 8a and a second ligh source 8b only, but it will be obvious that by placing total of three light sources 8 at the same horizontal height with corresponding photocells 9 on the opposit plate 7, it will be possible to record the speed o motion, length and height of the animal, which will render it possible, on the basis of the data obtained b experience, to determine the species of animal passin through the passage.
- the measuring devices have been described above as bein light sources 8, which are able to emit visible or in- visible beams of light against photocells 9 , to the effec that an impulse will occur as the beams are broken by the passage of an animal.
- a controlling device 16 for example on the upright pole 4, has been mounted in connection with the gallows 2.
- This controlling device 16 is adapted to receive data indicat ⁇ ing that one or more beams of light between the light sources 8 and the photocells 9 have been broken, said con- trolling device being for example a computer of commonly known type.
- the controlling device 16 receives data indicating that an animal is passing, the controlling device is adapted to emit an impulse to a nozzle device, which is not illustrated in the drawing, said device being for example an electrically operated magnetic valve.
- the impulse will cause a discharge nozzle 11 to open, which may be placed on the overhanging arm 5 or on a beam 12 extending in the longitudinal direction of the passage and secured to the overhanging arm 5.
- the controlling device 16 is provided with time delay de- vices, which are adapted to delay the impulse emitted to the magnetic valve for such duration of time that the ex ⁇ haust nozzle 11 will dispense the particular substance, exactly as the back of the animal is below the nozzle 11.
- This time delay must also be made to depend upon the speed of motion of the animal through the gallows possibly predetermined by the measuring devices 8, 9 and the controlling device 16, and the duration of open time of the magnetic valve should be related to the possible speed of motion of the animal.
- the exhaust nozzle 11 is connected to a pressure-proof container 13 positioned on the overhanging arm 5 or on the beam 12.
- the container 13 is adapted to contain an appro ⁇ priate portion of the substance, which is to be administered to the animals to be treated.
- the pressure- proof container 13 is adapted to be put under pressure by means of a pressure exerting device 14, which may for example be a manually operated pump with a handle 15 or an ordinary bicycle pump. It is hereby possible, at suitable intervals, to put the container 13 under appropriate interior pressure by means of the pumping device 14 and the handle 15 in order that the substance contained in the container 13 may be blown out through the nozzle 11, irrespective of the substance being a powder, paste or liquid.
- controlling device 15, the light sources 8 and the photocells 9 may be designed with such low power requirements that thay may be power supplied by means of a battery.
- the beam 12 placed on the overhanging arm 5 will make it possible to use several exhaust nozzles 11 and several pressure containers 13 to the effect that different sub ⁇ stances may be sprayed or blown out.
- a single substance may be sprayed out only, or perhaps several substances at the same time, depending upon the data measured about the a animal.
- the measuring devices 8, 9 may comprise means adapted to determine a colour sprayed onto the animal to the effect that the controlling device may receive and record information indicating that the parti ⁇ cular substance has been sprayed onto the animal.
- the animal may be identified by spraying it with a certain colour, it will also be possible to mark it with substances which can identify the animal in a different way, for example by administering a recognizable aromatic substance which is detectable by means of specially adapted sensors.
- the dose may be completely harmless, possibly comprising a dose of ordinary water, which will merely induce a feeling of an effect produced on the part of the animal.
- controlling device may be more elaborate to the effect that it may store information about the individual animals having passed through the apparatus, in order that the information may later be read and used for the preparation of statistics about the animals, their number, their passage through the apparatus, the time when the substance was administered, dosage, etc.
