Controlo de um alimentador para pequenos ruminantes

Abstract

No âmbito do estudo da ciência animal e para efetuar certos ensaios relacionados com a alimentação, em específico de pequenos ruminantes, como por exemplo ensaios de digestibilidade de determinadas dietas, é necessário submeter os animais a um controlo rigoroso dos alimentos que ingerem. Este controlo pode ser efetuado, quer colocando os animais em jaulas individuais (sendo mais fácil e eficaz controlar o alimento que lhes é fornecido), ou em alternativa, uma opção que causa menos ”stress”animal, que é deixá-los junto aos restantes elementos do rebanho e alimentá-los através de um sistema automático, permitindo assim um controlo autónomo do que cada animal ingere. Na presente dissertação é apresentado o sistema desenvolvido que será aplicado ao espaço de alimentação das ovelhas (ovil), que é baseado num conjunto de baias com cancela, controlada pneumaticamente, já existente nas instalações do Departamento de Zootecnia da UTAD. Esse sistema será composto por sensores Laser, tags e leitores RFID, interligados com um sistema embebido baseado em Linux. O objetivo primordial será solucionar não só o problema da monitorização e controlo da dosagem da alimentação que cada animal ingere bem como a forma com que eles a acedem, mas também produzir um sistema capaz de interligar a tecnologia (como por exemplo a identificação animal), a uma área em constante evolução, que é a produção animal. In the study of animals, it is necessary to submit the animals to a strict control of their diet, to perform some feeding related tests, specifically for small ruminants, such as digestibility tests of a specific diet. This can be done either by placing the animals in individual cages (being easier and more effective to control the food that is provided to them), or alternatively, an option that causes less stress to the animal, which is to leave them with the other elements of the flock and feed them through an automatic system, providing an autonomous log of what each animal ingest. In the present dissertation it is presented a system that will be applied to the sheep feeding space (ovil), which is based on a set of pneumatically controlled bays with cages, that already exists in the facilities of the Zootechny Department of UTAD. This system will be composed by Laser sensors, RFID tags and readers, interconnected with an Linux based embedded system. The main objective is to solve not only the problem of monitoring and controlling the feeding dosage that each animal ingests as well as the way they access it, but also to produce a system capable of interconnecting the technology (such as animal identification), to an area in constant evolution, animal production.
