Technology background
The devices found on the market utilize temperature sensors, and acceleration for the characterization of the bovine animal welfare or motion detection sending data collected locally. However, the devices are not effective in the recognition of reproductive activities, which is important to improve the reproduction of animals.
Technology description
The invention is a set of devices for monitoring and behavior analysis and reproductive activity of herds, able to acquire data and infer the animal behavior, through movement and radio frequency transceivers sensors.
Problem Fixed
The device allows the recognition of distance copulation activity, which enables the animal behavior assessment with minimal human intervention (some breeds do not perform reproductive activities with the presence of human).
Advantages
– Increasing the hit rate in mating activities of the bulls;
– In assisted reproduction in cattle herds.
Applications
– Field of electrical engineering, computing and telecommunications, subsidized;
– Used by the veterinary field, animal science and agronomy.
