摘要:
A communications device (101) transmits measurement result information (110) indicative of the step count of a livestock animal (A) to a relay device (102) located in a communications area (103). The relay device (102) receives the measurement result information (110) from the communications device (101) and transmits the measurement result information (110) to an estrus notifying apparatus (104). The estrus notifying apparatus (104) stores the communications devices (101) equipped to respective livestock animals making up a herd and GPS communications device (107) equipped to any of the livestock animals making up the herd in a correlated manner for each herd. If it is determined that the measurement result information (110) received from the relay device (102) satisfies a given condition, the estrus notifying apparatus (104) searches for the GPS communications device (107) correlated with the communications device (101). The estrus notifying apparatus (104) transmits activation instruction information (130) to the GPS communications device (107). The GPS communications device (107) receives the activation instruction information (130) and turns on a power source.
摘要:
On a farm (F), a livestock animal (A) is pastured, and a communications device (101) that measures a step count of the livestock animal (A) is attached to the livestock animal (A). The step count correcting apparatus (103), via a relay device (102) installed on the farm (F), receives from the communications device (101), measurement result information indicating a measurement result of the step count of the livestock animal (A). Further, the step count correcting apparatus (103) obtains information indicating the weather on the farm (F) when the communications device (101) measured the step count of the livestock animal (A). The step count correcting apparatus (103) corrects the measured step count of the livestock animal (A) according to the weather on the farm (F) when the communications device (101) measured the step count of the livestock animal (A). The step count correcting apparatus (103) transmits to a client apparatus (104) information indicating the post-correction step count.
摘要:
On a farm (F), area (J1) and area (J2) are set. In area (J1), a relay device (102a) is provided and in area (J2), a relay device (102b) is provided. A step count correcting apparatus (103), through either relay device (102), receives from a communications device (101) attached to a livestock animal (A), measurement result information indicating measurement results of a step count of the livestock animal (A). The step count correcting apparatus (103), upon receiving the measurement result information, identifies from the relay device (102) that relayed the received measurement result information, the area where the livestock animal (A) is pastured. The step count correcting apparatus (103), upon identifying the area where the livestock animal (A) is pastured, uses an average correction value and/or vegetation and plant correction value specific to the identified area, to correct the measured step count of the livestock animal (A). The step count correcting apparatus (103) transmits to a client apparatus (104), information indicating the corrected step count

摘要:
An estrus notifying apparatus (104) receives, via a relay device (102) and from communications devices (101) respectively attached to livestock animals (A) raised on a farm (F), measurement result information indicating measurement results of step counts for the livestock animals (A). The estrus notifying apparatus (104), based on measurement result information, respectively determines whether each of the livestock animals (A) is in estrus. If among the livestock animals (A), a given livestock (A1) is determined to be in estrus, the estrus notifying apparatus (104) determines whether the current time is included in the working hours of a worker (W). If the current time is included in the working hours, the estrus notifying apparatus 104) determines whether other livestock animals (A) near the given livestock animal (A1) have a possibility of being in estrus. If a livestock animal (A2) having a possibility of being in estrus is present, the estrus notifying apparatus (104) notifies the worker W of identification information for the given livestock animal (A1) and for other livestock animals (A2) near the given livestock animal (A1) and having the possibility of being in estrus.
摘要:
It is assumed that the step count (N13) of a livestock animal (A1) in a time slot (t2 to t3) is greater than or equal to a threshold value. An estrus notifying apparatus (102) calculates a degree of reduction of the step count of other livestock animals (A2 to An) in the same herd for a previous time slot. The degree of reduction is a value indicative of a level of reduction of a measurement value (N) of the livestock animals (A2 to An) for the previous time slot (t1 to t2) from a measurement value (N) for a time slot (t0 to t1) before the previous time slot and is a reduction rate, for example. It is assumed that, for example, the step counts of the livestock animals (A2 to An) are half or less for the time slot (t1 to t2) relative to the time slot (t0 to t1). The estrus notifying apparatus (102) considers that the measurement value becomes less than the threshold value due to eating even though the livestock animal (A1) is in estrus in the time slot (t1 to t2), and determines that the livestock animal (A1) is in estrus during the time slot (t1 to t2). The estrus notifying apparatus (102) outputs information indicating that the estrus of the livestock animal (A1) started in the time slot (t1 to t2).
摘要:
A notifying apparatus (102) receives a communication ID and measurement result information from a communications device (101) and stores for each communications device ID, the measurement result information for each time slot. It is assumed that an onset of a disease with a disease name (B1) is confirmed in a livestock animal (Ab). A worker inputs into the notifying apparatus (102), the time of confirmation of the onset of the disease with the disease name (B1) in the livestock animal (Ab). The notifying apparatus (102) identifies disease duration of the disease name (B1) and acquires information of a threshold value (Hb) related to a step count specific to the disease name (B1). The notifying apparatus (102) acquires a measurement result (N1) of another livestock animal (A1) for a time point traced back by the disease duration of the disease name (B1) and a measurement result (N2) of the other livestock animal (A1) for the time point of confirmation of the onset. In the case of "N1-N2≥Hb", the notifying apparatus (102) determines that the disease with the disease name (B1) is afflicting the livestock animal (A1). The notifying apparatus (102) displays on a display (103) that the disease with the disease name (B1) is afflicting a livestock animal (A3) for which a value is greater than or equal to the threshold value (Hb).
摘要:
A vegetation assessing apparatus (101) obtains step count measurement results obtained by a step measuring device (102) attached to a livestock animal (A) pastured in a pasture (H). The vegetation assessing apparatus (101) assesses whether a state of vegetation of the pasture (H) is a state suitable for pasturing, based on temporal change of the step count measurements obtained by the step measuring device (102). The vegetation assessing apparatus (101) transmits an obtained assessment result to a portable communications terminal (103) used by a livestock raiser.
摘要:
An estrus notifying apparatus (104) receives from a relay device (102), measurement result information of a step count transmitted by a communications device (101) attached to a livestock animal (A). The estrus notifying apparatus (104) determines based on the measurement result information, whether the livestock animal (A) is in an abnormal state. The estrus notifying apparatus (104), upon determining an abnormal state and receiving from a worker (W), notification that the livestock animal (A) will be attended to, sets the communications device (101) of the livestock animal (A) to be a tracking target. The estrus notifying apparatus (104), via a relay device (102), transmits to the communications device (101), a change instruction to set the transmission interval for the measurement result information to be short. The communications device (101) shortens the transmission interval based on the received change instruction. Thereafter, the estrus notifying apparatus (104) notifies a worker (W) of position information correlated with the new relay device (102), each time the relay device (102) used to report measurement result information by the communications device (101) set to be a tracking target changes.
