APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A FEED SUPPLY AMOUNT BASED ON FEED INTAKE INTENTION OF LIVESTOCK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18237703 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A FEED SUPPLY AMOUNT BASED ON FEED INTAKE INTENTION OF LIVESTOCK
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus and method for controlling a feed supply amount based on the feed intake intention of livestock. The apparatus includes a feed intake intention quantification part that perceives the feed intake intention of livestock using image information obtained by photographing a certain region within a livestock farm, quantifying it as a feed intake intention value. It also includes a feed intake intention-based feed supply amount control part that generates a command for controlling the feed supply amount in consideration of the feed intake intention value.
- The apparatus uses image information to quantify the feed intake intention of livestock.
- The feed supply amount is controlled based on the quantified feed intake intention value.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in livestock farming operations to optimize feed supply and improve overall animal health and productivity.
Problems Solved
1. Inefficient feed supply management in livestock farming. 2. Inaccurate assessment of feed intake intention of livestock.
Benefits
1. Improved feed efficiency. 2. Enhanced livestock health and productivity. 3. Cost savings in feed management.
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimized feed supply systems for livestock farms.
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing systems for monitoring feed intake in livestock, but the use of image information for quantifying feed intake intention could be a novel aspect of this technology.
Unanswered Questions
How does the apparatus differentiate between individual animals within a group for feed intake intention quantification?
The patent application does not provide details on how the apparatus distinguishes between individual animals within a group for accurate feed intake intention quantification.
What is the accuracy rate of the feed intake intention quantification process using image information?
The patent application does not mention the accuracy rate of the feed intake intention quantification process using image information.
