Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for detecting the state of estrus in dairy cows. More particularly, the invention relates to a device for detect estrus status in cows with a condition detector holder estrus in cows emitting light signals, and enclosed in a housing.
  • the invention therefore relates to a support for detecting the state of estrus in cows and a housing for detecting the state of estrus in cows, intended to be supported by such a support, as well as the support and detector assembly enclosed in its case.
  • FR 2 432 300 describes a device indicating the heat periods of mammals, in particular cows, in determining the temperature of the cow's milk.
  • EP 0 705 536 describes a sensor for movement depending on the position of the cows.
  • cows When in estrus, cows show increased activity. In particular, they tend to overlap each other.
  • US-A-3 844 273, US-A-5 542 431 and EP-A-0 263 629 describe a device comprising a detector on a support carried by the cow, usually fixed on the rump of the animal.
  • US-A-5,111,799 describes a device for detecting estrus in cows and other animals implanted under the skin of the cow. Such a device remains attached to the animal but cannot be conveniently examined or recovered.
  • Cows also have different morphologies which vary considerably depending on their race. Or art detection devices previous do not take into account these differences in morphology and are not designed only for a specific race.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide a device for detecting the state of estrus in cows remaining fixed on the rump of the animal during overlaps.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a detection device estrus status in cows that can adapt to all breeds of cows.
  • An object of the present invention is also to provide a device whose detector can be easily examined and recovered.
  • the present invention responds to the above objects and provides a support for a detector, said detector consisting of a housing containing means for detecting the state of estrus in cows, characterized in that it consists of a coupon made of natural fibers having an area between approximately 0.04 m 2 and approximately 0.06 m 2 adapted to support a substantially rectangular case (or pouch), intended to receive said detector, placed substantially in the center of said coupon.
  • the coupon has substantially a shape of a heart.
  • the overall width of the support is between approximately 0.15 m and approximately 0.3 m and its overall height is between approximately 0.15 m and about 0.25 m.
  • the case generally comprises a hook-and-loop closure means with a paw.
  • the material constituting the case is usually made of synthetic fibers, for example for example, polyester fibers, such as high tenacity polyester fibers.
  • the case may include one or two observation orifices.
  • the upper part of the case is transparent enough to detect and count signals light emitted by the detector.
  • the material constituting the support is advantageously made of natural fibers.
  • the burlap is a particularly suitable coupon material. Other materials can however be used.
  • the coupon can be in color fluorescent.
  • the case can be an integral part of the coupon or, preferably, it includes a base which is sewn on the coupon.
  • the support may include straps intended for its attachment to the tail of a cow.
  • the present invention also provides a detector housing, intended to be supported by a support and to contain means for detecting the state of estrus in cows, in which said support is as described above, characterized in that it consists of a sole capped with a cover.
  • the sole has a bottom wall which comprises two zones of different thicknesses, a central zone, of relatively large thickness constituting a beam and a peripheral zone of lesser thickness surrounding said beam, said peripheral zone being bordered by a rim surmounted a peripheral lip, the beam having three housings intended to receive a capture system based on pressure sensors.
  • the cover includes a cover plate carrying a skirt surrounded a groove, ribs which, in collaboration with said skirt constitute three compartments, a first compartment being intended to receive the food electric, a second compartment being intended to receive means of analysis and signal processing and a third compartment having a housing intended to receive a lens for the optimal diffusion of light signals.
  • the assembly of the sole and the cover is usually carried out by bonding of the peripheral lip and the sole in the throat of the cover.
  • the adhesive used for bonding is for example a polyurethane adhesive two-component.
  • the housing cover is usually made of polycarbonate, in general transparent.
  • the sole generally of substantially pyramidal shape, is advantageously produced by injection of flexible polyurethane.
  • the cover is of substantially rectangular shape and the base of the sole is substantially rectangular.
  • the present invention therefore provides a device for detecting the state of estrus in dairy cows comprising a support comprising a housing intended to receive means of detecting the state of estrus in cows and emitting signals luminous, engaged in the case of said support and enclosed in a case, said support and housing being as described above.
  • the support 1, in the shape of a heart, for detector 2 of the state of estrus in cows consists of a coupon 3 in natural fibers supporting a case 4 rectangular, adapted to receive said detector, placed in the center of the coupon.
  • the overall width l of the support is between approximately 0.15 m and approximately 0.3 m and its height overall is between about 0.15 m and about 0.25 m.
  • the case 4 comprises a closure means 5 which is self-gripping with a tab 6.
  • the case includes an observation orifice 7.
  • the case 4 has a base which is sewn on the coupon.
  • the housing consists of a sole 13 topped with a cover 30.
  • the sole 13 of substantially pyramidal shape and with a rectangular base, has a wall of bottom which comprises two zones of different thicknesses, a central zone 14, of relatively large thickness constituting a beam and a peripheral zone 15 of lesser thickness surrounding said beam 14.
  • the peripheral zone is bordered by a rim 17 surmounted by a peripheral lip 16.
  • the beam 14 has three housings 18, 19 and 20, intended to receive a capture system produced on the basis of pressure.
  • the cover 30, of rectangular shape comprises a cover plate 31 carrying a skirt 32 surrounded by a peripheral groove 33, ribs 34, 35 which, in collaboration with said skirt 32, constitute three compartments 36, 37 and 38.
  • the first compartment 36 is intended to receive the power supply
  • the second compartment 37 is intended to receive means for analyzing and processing a signal
  • the third compartment 38 has a housing 39 intended to receive a lens (not shown) for optimal diffusion of light signals.
  • the peripheral groove 33 serves as a glue reservoir for assembling the sole 13 and cover 30.
  • studs of the sole 13 are clipped in housings 10 of the cover 30.
  • the assembly 8 includes the support 1 comprising a state detector 2 estrus in cows emitting light signals, engaged in case 4 and enclosed in the housing described above.
  • the pressure sensors integrated in the detector record a pressure and the detector emits signals luminous.
  • the detector 2 is introduced into the case 4, the sole against the base sewn onto the coupon, so that the indicator light can be observed. Closure 5 is closed with tab 6.
  • the assembly 8 is then glued to the rump of the animal, as close as possible to its tail.
  • the animal's hair must be clean and dry. For that you need brush the animal's rump and trim the coat if necessary so that it does not protrude about 1 cm.
