Description
Dispositif de surveillance de la santé, de la fertilité et/ou du bien-être d'un porcin Device for monitoring the health, fertility and / or well-being of a pig
1. Domaine de l'invention 1. Field of the invention
Le domaine de l'invention est celui de l'élevage et en particulier du monitoring animal. The field of the invention is that of breeding and in particular animal monitoring.
Plus précisément, l'invention concerne un dispositif de surveillance de la santé et/ou de l'état d'un porcin. More specifically, the invention relates to a device for monitoring the health and / or condition of a pig.
L'invention trouve notamment une application dans la détection d'un trouble de santé, de fertilité et/ou de bien-être survenant chez un porcin. The invention finds particular application in the detection of a health disorder, fertility and / or well-being occurring in a pig.
2. Etat de la technique 2. State of the art
Dans un élevage de porcins, de nombreuses pathologies peuvent affecter le pourcentage de mortalité, la performance de croissance et d'engraissement, ou l'indice de consommation. In a pig farm, many diseases can affect the percentage of mortality, the growth and fattening performance, or the consumption index.
Ainsi par exemple, les animaux atteints de rhinite ou de pneumonie ont une croissance plus lente que les animaux sains. For example, animals with rhinitis or pneumonia have slower growth than healthy animals.
Par ailleurs, la boiterie, qui résulte d'un développement anormal des onglons de l'animal, est le deuxième facteur de réforme chez les truies reproductrices. In addition, lameness, which results from an abnormal development of the animal's hooves, is the second factor of reform in breeding sows.
On a également observé que le stress nuit à la croissance des porcins. Certains animaux sont également touchés par le syndrome du stress porcin, qui peut provoquer un mort brutale de l'animal lors du transport et/ou rendre la viande impropre à la vente. It has also been observed that stress impedes the growth of pigs. Some animals are also affected by the porcine stress syndrome, which can cause a sudden death of the animal during transport and / or make the meat unfit for sale.
Ces pathologies peuvent se manifester par une activité anormale, par une toux ou des éternuements, par une accélération du rythme cardiaque ou par une hyperthermie. These conditions can be manifested by abnormal activity, coughing or sneezing, increased heart rate or hyperthermia.
On a proposé d'équiper les porcs d'un élevage de capteurs, afin de surveiller l'apparition de signes caractéristiques d'une pathologie. It has been proposed to equip pigs with a breeding of sensors, in order to monitor the appearance of characteristic signs of a pathology.
On connaît une technique consistant à implanter un capteur de température dans le canal vaginal d'une truie afin de mesurer sa température interne.
Un inconvénient de cette technique invasive est qu'il existe des risques d'infection et/ou d'irritation. En outre, le positionnement du capteur dans l'appareil génital est délicat. A technique of implanting a temperature sensor into the vaginal canal of a sow is known to measure its internal temperature. A disadvantage of this invasive technique is that there are risks of infection and / or irritation. In addition, the positioning of the sensor in the genital tract is delicate.
Une autre technique connue consiste à équiper le ventre ou le cou de l'animal de capteurs non-invasifs, maintenus par un harnais ou un collier. Another known technique is to equip the animal's belly or neck with non-invasive sensors, held by a harness or a collar.
Un inconvénient de cette technique de harnais ou de collier est qu'il présente un danger pour l'animal s'il est trop serré. A disadvantage of this harness or collar technique is that it presents a danger to the animal if it is too tight.
Un autre inconvénient de cette technique connue est que le harnais ou le collier peut être arraché par l'animal qui le porte ou par un congénère. Another disadvantage of this known technique is that the harness or collar can be torn off by the animal wearing it or by a congener.
On a également pensé à mettre en place un capteur de température sur l'oreille d'une truie, afin de contrôler la gestation. It was also thought to set up a temperature sensor on the ear of a sow, to control the gestation.

6.1 Exemple de mode de réalisation de l'invention 6.1 Example of embodiment of the invention
On a illustré sur la figure 1, un exemple de mode de réalisation d'un système de surveillance selon l'invention mis en œuvre au sein d'un élevage de porcs. FIG. 1 illustrates an exemplary embodiment of a surveillance system according to the invention implemented within a pig farm.
Ce système 10 comprend un dispositif 11 de surveillance de la santé et/ou de l'état d'une truie 12 fixé sur une oreille de la truie 12 et un collecteur 13, destiné à retransmettre les signaux radio émis par le dispositif 11 dans la bande 2,4GHz ou 433MHz vers un serveur de données 14 hébergeant une base de données 15 permettant de stocker les informations contenues dans les signaux reçus. This system 10 comprises a device 11 for monitoring the health and / or condition of a sow 12 attached to an ear of the sow 12 and a collector 13, for retransmitting the radio signals emitted by the device 11 in the 2.4GHz or 433MHz band to a data server 14 hosting a database 15 for storing the information contained in the received signals.
Dans ce mode de réalisation de l'invention, les données des signaux radio sont transmises entre le collecteur 13 et le serveur 14 dans le standard GPRS. In this embodiment of the invention, the data of the radio signals are transmitted between the collector 13 and the server 14 in the GPRS standard.
Le serveur 14 permet d'émettre, via le collecteur 13, des messages d'alerte vocaux ou des SMS à destination du smartphone 16 de l'éleveur, lorsqu'une pathologie ou la phase de préparation d'une mise-bas est détectée chez l'animal. The server 14 makes it possible to transmit, via the collector 13, voice alert messages or SMS messages to the smartphone 16 of the breeder, when a pathology or the phase of preparation of a farrowing is detected in the animal.
Un accès à la base de données 15 est également prévu via un web service 17.
Les figures 2A et 2B sont des vues de détail du dispositif de surveillance 11 respectivement avant et après fixation à l'oreille de l'animal. Access to the database 15 is also provided via a web service 17. Figures 2A and 2B are detail views of the monitoring device 11 respectively before and after attachment to the ear of the animal.
Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2A, le dispositif 11 est formé de deux parties 21 et 22 s'assemblant par clippage, à l'aide d'une pince. L'ensemble forme un dispositif d'environ 38g. As can be seen in Figure 2A, the device 11 is formed of two parts 21 and 22 assembling by clipping, using a clamp. The whole forms a device of about 38g.
La partie 21, qui se monte sur l'extérieur de l'oreille présente une base de contour sensiblement circulaire se prolongeant suivant son axe par un tube 23 destiné à recevoir la pointe 24 de la partie 22. La partie 22 se monte sur l'intérieur de l'oreille. Part 21, which is mounted on the outside of the ear has a substantially circular contour base extending along its axis by a tube 23 for receiving the tip 24 of the part 22. The part 22 is mounted on the inside the ear.
La pointe 24 permet de percer l'oreille de l'animal. Elle est fendue afin de faciliter l'insertion de la pointe 24 dans le tube. La fente 25, qui vient s'emboiter sur un ergot métallique 26 formé dans le fond du tube 23 permet par ailleurs de positionner les parties 22 et 21 l'un par rapport à l'autre. Elle assure la connexion électrique entre les circuits imprimés des deux parties 21 et 22. The tip 24 pierces the ear of the animal. It is slotted to facilitate insertion of the tip 24 into the tube. The slot 25, which is engaged on a metal pin 26 formed in the bottom of the tube 23 also allows to position the parts 22 and 21 relative to each other. It provides the electrical connection between the printed circuits of the two parts 21 and 22.
Dans ce mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, la base circulaire de la partie 22 présente un diamètre de 3,5 centimètres. La longueur du tube 23 et de la pointe 24 est sensiblement égale à l'épaisseur de l'oreille de l'animal. In this particular embodiment of the invention, the circular base of the portion 22 has a diameter of 3.5 centimeters. The length of the tube 23 and the tip 24 is substantially equal to the thickness of the ear of the animal.
Sur la figure 3, qui est une vue en coupe du dispositif 11, on peut voir que le dispositif 11 contient, dans la partie 22, un accéléromètre trois axes 31 et un capteur de température à infra-rouge 32 fixés sur carte électronique 33, et un capteur de lumière 34 destiné à recevoir les rayonnements lumineux émis par la source de lumière 35 montée sur la partie 21. In FIG. 3, which is a sectional view of the device 11, it can be seen that the device 11 contains, in the part 22, a three-axis accelerometer 31 and an infra-red temperature sensor 32 fixed on an electronic card 33, and a light sensor 34 for receiving the light radiation emitted by the light source 35 mounted on the portion 21.
Le capteur de lumière 34 et la source de lumière 35 sont ceux d'un oxymètre transmissif 36. The light sensor 34 and the light source 35 are those of a transmissive oximeter 36.
La carte 33 dispose d'une mémoire vive et d'un microcontrôleur (non représentés sur la figure 3) destiné à traiter les mesures effectuées par l'accéléromètre 31, le capteur de température 32 et l'oxymètre 36, de sorte à détecter un état maladif, une boiterie, des chaleurs ou une phase préparatoire de mise-bas chez la truie.
A cet effet, le processeur du microcontrôleur exécute, dans ce mode de réalisation particulier de l'invention, une première application qui détermine toutes les minutes le rythme cardiaque moyen de la truie à partir de la mesure de la saturation en oxygène dans le sang circulant dans l'oreille, une température corporelle de la truie, à partir des mesures du capteur de température à infra-rouge 32 et des données de l'horloge à quartz du microcontrôleur de sorte à prendre en compte le rythme circadien de température de la truie, et, à partir des mesures des composantes de l'accélération, la position de la truie, si celle-ci a changé de position, si elle s'est déplacée, si elle a piétiné, si elle a ingéré de la nourriture, si elle chevauche un congénère, quel est son rythme respiratoire et son niveau d'activité. The card 33 has a random access memory and a microcontroller (not shown in FIG. 3) intended to process the measurements made by the accelerometer 31, the temperature sensor 32 and the oximeter 36, so as to detect a morbid condition, lameness, heat, or preparatory phase of farrowing in sow. For this purpose, the processor of the microcontroller executes, in this particular embodiment of the invention, a first application which determines every minute the average heart rate of the sow from the measurement of oxygen saturation in the circulating blood. in the ear, a body temperature of the sow, from the measurements of the infra-red temperature sensor 32 and data from the microcontroller's quartz clock so as to take into account the circadian rhythm of the sow's temperature , and from the measurements of the components of the acceleration, the position of the sow, if it has changed position, if it has moved, if it has trampled, if it has ingested food, if she rides a congener, what is her breathing rate and her level of activity.
Les données générées par la première application sont ensuite traitées par quatre autres applications permettant respectivement de détecter l'occurrence d'un état maladif, d'une boiterie, des chaleurs et l'initiation de la phase préparatoire de mise-bas chez la truie, le cas échéant. The data generated by the first application are then processed by four other applications respectively for detecting the occurrence of a disease state, lameness, heat and the initiation of the preparatory phase of farrowing in the sow, where appropriate.
Ainsi, un état maladif est détecté lorsque se produit sur une journée une baisse du niveau d'activité associée à une élévation de la température corporelle, notamment si celle-ci dépasse 41°C, et/ou à une baisse de la durée d'ingestion journalière. Thus, a disease state is detected when there is a decrease in the level of activity associated with a rise in body temperature over a day, especially if it exceeds 41 ° C, and / or a decrease in the duration of daily ingestion.
L'occurrence d'une boiterie de l'animal est détectée lorsque, sur une journée, se produit une diminution du nombre de piétinements lors des repas et des changements de position pendant la journée, que le temps passé en position debout est inférieur à 8h, que le niveau d'activité et que le nombre de déplacements diminue et que les mouvements de tête sont accentués selon l'axe vertical. The occurrence of a lameness of the animal is detected when, over a day, there is a decrease in the number of trampling during meals and changes of position during the day, the time spent in standing is less than 8 hours , that the activity level and the number of displacements decrease and that the head movements are accentuated along the vertical axis.
Une occurrence d'un état de chaleurs est détecté lorsque se produit sur une semaine une baisse d'au moins 20% du niveau d'activité journalier pendant une à trois journées suivie d'une augmentation d'au moins 50% du niveau d'activité journalier pendant 1 à 3 journée.
Enfin, l'imminence de la mise-bas est détectée lorsque se produit sur une journée une augmentation progressive de la température corporelle d'au moins 0,5°C, une augmentation d'au moins 30% du rythme respiratoire et une augmentation d'au moins 30% du niveau d'activité chez la truie. An occurrence of a heat state is detected when a week-by-week drop of at least 20% of the daily activity level occurs for one to three days followed by an increase of at least 50% in the level of daily activity. daily activity for 1 to 3 days. Finally, the imminence of farrowing is detected when a daily increase in body temperature of at least 0.5 ° C, an increase of at least 30% in the respiratory rate and an increase of at least 30% of the level of activity in the sow.
Le microcontrôleur est par ailleurs configuré pour générer un signal numérique d'alerte lors qu'une occurrence d'un état maladif, d'une boiterie, d'un état de chaleur ou l'imminence d'une mise-bas est détectée. The microcontroller is also configured to generate a digital alert signal when an occurrence of a disease state, a lameness, a state of heat or the imminence of a farrowing is detected.
Le dispositif 11 est également équipé d'une antenne 37 permettant d'émettre à intervalle régulier les signaux numériques générés par le microcontrôleur à destination du collecteur 13. The device 11 is also equipped with an antenna 37 making it possible to transmit, at regular intervals, the digital signals generated by the microcontroller to the collector 13.
Une pile 38 alimente l'accéléromètre, la source de lumière de l'oxymètre, le circuit imprimé et l'antenne en énergie. L'autonomie de cette batterie 38 est de 5 ans en utilisation normale. A battery 38 supplies the accelerometer, the light source of the oximeter, the printed circuit and the energy antenna. The battery life of this battery 38 is 5 years in normal use.
Avantageusement, les parties 21 et 22 du dispositif 11 sont configurées de sorte à être étanches à l'eau et aux poussières et sont résistantes à l'ammoniac. Par ailleurs, le dispositif 11 est agencé de façon à être résistant aux vibrations et aux chocs. Advantageously, the parts 21 and 22 of the device 11 are configured so as to be watertight and dustproof and are resistant to ammonia. Furthermore, the device 11 is arranged to be resistant to vibrations and shocks.
