Abstract

La présente invention cocerne des dispositifs et procédés permettant de surveiller et de réguler la température corporelle d'organismes à sang chaud comme les animaux domestiques, et en particulier les poulets, les dindes et les poules pondeuses. Le procédé comprend l'obtention de données sur la température par relevé effectué sur un seul ou sur une pluralité d'emplacements de la zone où vit la population étudiée, puis l'analyse de ces données afin de déterminer la température corporelle d'au moins un des organismes constituant cette population. Si une température anormale indiquant une hyperthermie ou une hypothermie est détectée, alors un système de commande se déclenche et génère une modification de l'environnement destinée à modifier la température corporelle des organismes. Les mesures de température des différents organismes peuvent être obtenues de manière non invasive par relevé à la surface du corps comme par exemple à l'aide de dispositifs d'imagerie thermique; elles peuvent également être obtenues à l'aide de transmetteurs de température préalablement implantés dans certains des organismes.
