Specification

Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to a health care management system for cattle that is capable of providing a comprehensive facility that monitors the health of pregnant cattle and fetuses, accordingly alerts user to consult a veterinary professional, and capable of preparing feed with health-boosting supplements, gathers debris to maintain a hygienic environment, along with detects and repels insects to safeguard the cattle's well-being.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] The health care of the fetus in impregnated cattle is a critical aspect of livestock management, as it directly impacts the well-being of both the mother and the offspring. Cattle pregnancies typically last around nine months, and proper monitoring throughout this period is essential to ensure the fetus develops healthily and to prevent any complications during birth. During gestation, the fetus is highly susceptible to factors such as nutritional deficiencies, infections, or physical stress, which can lead to miscarriages, weak calves, or other health problems. Veterinary care plays a vital role in detecting abnormalities in fetal development, such as irregular heartbeats, poor growth, or physical deformities. Additionally, health issues like mastitis (inflammation of the mammary glands) or joint pain in the mother can negatively affect the fetus. Regular monitoring of the pregnant cattle allows for early intervention, ensuring the fetus receives the proper care and nutrition it needs. Nutritional supplements may also be required to support both the mother’s and fetus' health. Monitoring tools such as ultrasound, thermal imaging, and other sensors have become essential for early detection of potential health risks. Ensuring the health of the fetus not only improves the chances of a successful birth but also contributes to the productivity and health of the cattle in the long term.

[0003] Caring for the health of a fetus in impregnated cattle is crucial for ensuring both the well-being of the mother and the successful development of the fetus. Several pieces of equipment are designed for this purpose, including fetal heart rate monitors, ultrasound machines, and portable Doppler systems. Fetal heart rate monitors are used to track the health of the fetus by detecting its heart rate, alerting farmers or veterinarians to potential issues such as fetal distress or abnormalities. Ultrasound machines provide detailed images of the fetus, allowing for early detection of any developmental issues or abnormal positioning. Portable Doppler systems are commonly used to listen to the fetus’s heartbeat and assess blood flow, providing quick, non-invasive monitoring. Despite their benefits, these tools come with some drawbacks. Fetal heart rate monitors can be expensive and require trained personnel to operate correctly. Ultrasound machines, while effective, are costly, and their use is often limited to veterinary clinics, which may not be easily accessible in rural farming areas. Portable Doppler systems are more affordable but may not provide as much detailed information as ultrasound equipment. Additionally, over-reliance on technology can sometimes lead to inaccurate interpretations of data or missed signs of distress if used improperly, compromising the health care of the pregnant cattle.

[0022] The present invention relates to a health care management system for cattle that is capable of provides a multi-functional facility for cattle care, which includes health inspections for pregnant cattle and their fetuses with alerts for veterinary consultation, preparation of supplement-enriched feed, debris collection to maintain cleanliness, and insect detection and deterrence to ensure a safe, healthy environment for the cattle.

[0023] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of a health care management system for cattle is illustrated, comprises of a body 101 configured with a plurality of motorized wheels 102, a first artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 mounted on the body 101, a slot 104 carved on an upper portion of the body 101, a six-bar linkage assembly 105 mounted on the slot 104, a platform 106 attached on free-end of the linkage assembly 105, an inspection unit 107 installed on the platform 106, a holographic projection unit 108 mounted on the body 101, plurality of wearable bands 109 associated with the system, each of the bands 109 are equipped with a sensing module 110, a chamber 111 attached with the body 101 and assembled with a plurality of containers 112, each of the container 112 is equipped with a motorized iris lid 113 arranged underneath, a secondary artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 114 installed on the band, a plurality of electronically controlled nozzles 115 arranged on outer periphery of the bands, by means of a motorized circular slider 116, a vessel 117 configured with the nozzle 115, a pair of curved flaps 118 mounted on the body 101 by means of a rack and pinion arrangement 119, a suction unit 120 installed on the body 101, a waste compartment 121 linked with the suction unit 120 and located within the body 101, an electronic sprayer 122 mounted on the body 101, a receptacle 123 configured with the sprayer 122, a vibrating unit 124 installed in the chamber 111.

[0024] The present invention includes a body 101 preferably in portable nature and incorporating various components associated with the system. The body 101 is developed to be positioned on a ground surface of a shelter accommodated with cattle. The bottom portion of the body 101 is configured with multiple motorized wheels 102 for providing mobility to the body 101.

[0025] A user is required to access and presses a push button arranged on the body 101 to activate the system. The push button when pressed by the user, closes an electrical circuit and allows currents to flow for powering an associated microcontroller of the system for operating of all the linked components for performing their respective functions upon actuation. The microcontroller, mentioned herein, is preferably an Arduino microcontroller. The Arduino microcontroller used herein controls the overall functionality of the linked components.

[0026] After the activation of the system, the user accesses a user interface which is installed in a computing unit linked with the microcontroller wirelessly by means of a communication module. The user interface enables the user to provide input regarding requirement of assistance in performing a desired operation. The communication module includes, but not limited to Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) module, Bluetooth module, GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) module. The Wi-Fi module contains transmitters and receivers that use radio frequency signals to transmit data wirelessly to the microcontroller. The wireless module typically includes components such as antennas, amplifiers, and processors to facilitate communication and further connected to networks such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or cellular networks, allowing systems to exchange information over short or long distances for communication of wireless commands to facilitate operations of the system.

[0027] In case the user required operation is related to checking health of foetus of an impregnated cattle, the microcontroller generates a command to activate a primary artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 103 integrated on the body 101 for capturing multiple images in a vicinity of the body 101, to determine position of the cattle. The imaging unit 103 incorporates a processor that is encrypted with an artificial intelligence protocol. The artificial intelligence protocol operates by following a set of predefined instructions to process data and perform tasks autonomously. Initially, data is collected and input into a database, which then employs protocol to analyze and interpret the captured images. The processor of the imaging unit 103 via the artificial intelligence protocol processes the captured images and sent the signal to the microcontroller to determine position of the impregnated cattle.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present invention, a laser sensor work in conjunction with the primary imaging unit 103 to determine the height and movement adjustments around the cattle in real-time for facilitating movement in the shelter.

[0029] In accordance to the determined position of the cattle, the microcontroller then powers an associated direct current (DC) motor connected with the wheels 102. The wheels 102 have small discs or rollers around the circumference of the wheel that are powered by the motor, enabling the wheels 102 to move in required direction, which provide the body 101 with the required movement for maneuvering over the surface within the shelter and position the body 101 In proximity to the cattle.

[0030] The body 101 incorporates a slot 104 carved on the upper portion of the body 101. A six-bar linkage assembly 105 is mounted over the slot 104. A platform 106 is attached on free-end of the linkage assembly 105 and integrated with an inspection unit 107. Post positioning of the body 101 in proximity to the cattle, the microcontroller actuates the six-bar linkage assembly 105 for positioning the inspection unit 107 under the abdomen area of the cattle in view of scanning and monitoring health of the foetus and cattle.

[0031] The six-bar linkage assembly 105 comprises interconnected bars which move in a coordinated manner, converting rotary motion into linear motion. As the microcontroller sends signals, a motor drives the assembly, causing the linkage to lift the platform 106 smoothly and with precision. The motion is designed to be stable and adjustable, ensuring that the platform 106 reaches the desired height and position to facilitate scanning and health inspection of the cattle without causing discomfort.

[0032] The inspection unit 107 includes but not limited to an ultrasonic sensor, a thermal camera, a moisture sensor for detecting abnormal tissue changes or foetal heartrate irregularities, identifying temperature variations indicative of potential health issues like mastitis and joint pain, and monitors skin for excessive dampness, signally bacterial infections, respectively, along with generating timely alerts to enable early intervention and preventive care

[0033] The inspection unit 107 is equipped with a combination of sensors, including but not limited to an ultrasonic sensor, a thermal camera, and a moisture sensor, each serving a crucial role in the health monitoring of both the cattle and the fetus. The ultrasonic sensor is primarily used to detect abnormal tissue changes or irregularities in the fetal heartbeat, providing essential insights into the health of the fetus and detecting potential complications early on. The thermal camera detects temperature variations across the cattle's body 101, which indicate underlying health issues such as mastitis (inflammation of the mammary glands) or joint pain, allowing for early identification of inflammation or infection.

[0034] Additionally, the moisture sensor monitors the skin’s dampness, which is a sign of bacterial infections or other skin-related health problems. The inspection unit 107 work together to provide comprehensive, real-time data on the cattle’s health, and in case any abnormalities are detected, such as irregular heartbeat, elevated temperatures, or unusual moisture levels, the inspection unit 107 triggers the microcontroller to generate timely alerts to the computing unit of the user, notifying the user of potential health concerns, thus enabling early intervention and preventive care to ensure the well-being of both the cattle and the fetus.

[0035] The body 101 is mounted with a holographic projection unit 108 and that is linked with the inspection unit 107 wirelessly via the communication module. The microcontroller actuates the projection unit 108 for projecting three-dimensional images relating to the real-time health statistics to the user.

[0036] The holographic projection unit 108 uses interference patterns of light to create realistic three-dimensional images in mid-air. The projection unit 108 consists of a laser source, beam splitters, mirrors, and a holographic screen or projection surface. The projection unit 108 projects light onto a surface from multiple angles, using the interference of light waves to produce 3D images visible from different perspectives. The projected visuals provide health statistics of the cattle and potential risks to both the cattle and foetus in view of allowing the user to consult a veterinary practitioner.

[0037] The system is interconnected with plurality of wearable bands 109 associated with the system via the communication module. The user is required to engage each of the bands 109 in neck portion of each cattle residing in the shelter. Each of the bands 109 are integrated with a sensing module 110 for monitoring vital health parameters of the cattle.

[0038] The sensing module 110 includes but not limited to a FBG (Fiber Bragg Grating) sensor, a highly sensitive system used for monitoring various vital health parameters of the cattle, including body 101 temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure. These parameters are critical for assessing the overall health and well-being of the cattle. The FBG sensor works by detecting changes in light wavelengths reflected from the fiber when subjected to strain or temperature variations, which directly correlates to the physiological changes occurring in the cattle’s body 101. As the FBG sensor continuously monitors these vital signs, the data is transmitted to the microcontroller, which processes the received data in real-time.

[0039] The microcontroller compares the collected readings with pre-stored data present in the linked database, which are related to threshold range of the readings. If any of the parameters such as body 101 temperature being too high or low, heart rate being irregular, or blood pressure being abnormal/fall outside the expected range, the microcontroller identifies that the cattle is experiencing health issues that require nutritional intervention. Based upon this evaluation, the microcontroller determines the need for specific supplements, such as vitamins, minerals, or other nutrients, to restore balance and promote the cattle's recovery or continued well-being. This ensures that any potential health concerns are addressed promptly by supplying the cattle with the appropriate dietary support.

[0040] The sensing module 110 is further enhanced with an acoustic sensor and an air quality sensor to provide a more in-depth analysis of the cattle’s digestive health. The acoustic sensor is specifically designed to monitor the chewing and rumination patterns of the cattle, which are key indicators of digestive health. By detecting the frequency, intensity, and rhythm of the chewing and rumination, the acoustic sensor identifies irregularities such as reduced chewing activity, slow or incomplete rumination, or other abnormal behaviors. The signal of the acoustic sensor is sent to the microcontroller for assessing irregularities. The irregularities refer to potential digestive issues, such as bloating, indigestion, or gastrointestinal discomfort.

[0041] Meanwhile, the air quality sensor plays a critical role in detecting methane emissions around the cattle. Methane is a byproduct of the digestive process, particularly in ruminants like cattle. Abnormal levels of methane refer to signal of digestive inefficiencies or metabolic disorders, which indicates health problem like rumen acidosis, poor feed digestion, or other related conditions. The microcontroller assesses the collected data of the sensing module 110 for processing to detect elevated methane levels, indicating a possible digestive disturbance, the microcontroller promptly analyzes the situation. Based on the analysis, the microcontroller generates a wireless notification, to the computing unit for alerting the user about the potential health issue, providing with actionable insights that guides timely interventions or adjustments to the cattle's diet or care routine to prevent further health complications.

[0042] The microcontroller assesses collected data of the sensing module 110 to evaluate vital health parameters of the cattle. Based upon the evaluated health conditions of cattle, the microcontroller compares the monitored data with the pre-stored data present in the linked database. The microcontroller accordingly determines need of supplements in food intake for the cattle for improvement in the health condition of each of the cattle. The microcontroller paired with the bands 109 generate and provide a comprehensive review to the user via the computing unit regarding the cattle’s health and suggested need of supplements in food intake for the cattle.

[0043] The user via the computing unit provides the input for feeding operation of supplement for the cattle after reviewing the review by the microcontroller. The body 101 is configured with a chamber 111 storing fodder. The chamber 111 is assembled with a plurality of containers 112. The containers 112 store a varying kind of supplement. The microcontroller accordingly determines requirement of supplement feed for each of the cattle for improving health of the cattle.

[0044] The bottom portion of each of the container 112 is equipped with a motorized iris lid 113 arranged underneath. The microcontroller actuates the iris lid 113 of corresponding container 112 for dispensing regulated amount of supplement as per evaluated requirement.

[0045] Each of the iris lid 113, mentioned herein, consists of a ring in bottom configured with multiple slots 104 along periphery, multiple number of blades and blade actuating ring on the top. The blades are pivotally jointed with blade actuating ring and the base plate are hooked over the blade. The blade actuating ring is rotated clock and antilock wise by a DC motor embedded in ball actuating ring which results in opening of the holes to get opened/closed for dispensing the appropriate amount of identified supplement in the feeding chamber 111.

[0046] The chamber 111 is integrated with a vibrating unit 124 for producing vibrational sensations to ensure uniform distribution of the supplements throughout the fodder. The vibrating unit 124 subjects the chamber 111 to the action of moving or causing to move back and forth or from side to side very quickly leading to controlled and reproducible mechanical vibration. The produced vibrations result in providing movement to the chamber 111 to mix the supplement in the stored fodder, in view of allowing the cattle to consume the fodder.

[0047] Additionally, each of the bands 109 are equipped with a secondary artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 114 for detecting presence of insects near the cattle. The working of the secondary artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 114 is similar to the working of the primary imaging unit 103. The primary and secondary imaging unit 114 are equipped with multiple machine learning protocols to improve detection accuracy and responsiveness in identification of cattle positions and insect presence.

[0048] The outer periphery of each of the bands 109 are integrated with multiple nozzles 115 by means of a motorized circular slider 116. The nozzles 115 are connected with a vessel 117 configured with band for storing a repellent liquid. In accordance to repel the detected insects, the microcontroller actuates the nozzles 115 for dispensing the repellent liquid near the cattle to repel the insects.

[0049] Each of the electronic nozzle 115, used herein, is a short tube with a taper integrated with fine-tuned valve or orifice that is electronically regulated to speed up or regulate the flow of the repellent liquid. The valve controls flow of the repellent liquid by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from the microcontroller. This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure, and repellent liquid level in view of dispensing the repellent liquid as per the determined requirement.

[0050] Synchronously, the microcontroller actuates the slider 116 for effectively positioning the nozzles 115 for effective projectile trajectory of the dispensing liquid. The slider 116 is associated with circular sliding rail fabricated with grooves in which the wheel of the slider 116 is positioned that is further connected with a bi-directional motor via a shaft. The microcontroller actuates the bi-directional motor to rotate in a clockwise and anti-clockwise direction that aids in the rotation of the shaft, wherein the shaft converts the electrical energy into rotational energy for allowing movement of the wheel to translate over the sliding rail by a firm grip on the grooves. The movement of the slider 116 results in the translation of the nozzles 115 over the band to effectively position the nozzles 115 for dispensing the repellent liquid near the cattle.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present invention, a GPS module/indoor positioning module is interlinked with the bands 109 to help track the location of each cattle grazing patterns, and movement efficiency across shelter area.

[0052] During the pre-birth to post-birth stages of the the impregnated cattle, the environment in vicinity of the cattle is required to be hygienically safe. The user via the computing unit provides input for hygiene operation around selected cattle(s). The body 101 is mounted with a pair of curved flaps 118 by means of a rack and pinion arrangement 119.

[0053] The microcontroller via the primary imaging unit 103 is configured to detect presence of debris around the cattle. The microcontroller, accordingly, actuates the rack and pinion arrangement 119 to provide controlled movement to the flaps 118 for collecting the debris onto the flaps 118.

[0054] The rack and pinion arrangement 119 operates to translate rotation motion into linear motion for positioning of the flaps 118 to collect the debris. The rack has straight teeth cut into one surface of a square or round section of rod and operates with a pinion which is a small cylindrical gear with teeth that interlocks with the teeth of the rack so that vertical movement is possible. The pinion shaft is connected to a rack in such a way as to be longitudinally displaceable. The maximum force that is transmitted in a rack and pinion arrangement 119 is determined by the tooth pitch and the size of the pinion, such that effectively provide controlled movement to the flaps 118 for collecting the debris onto the flaps 118.

[0055] Synchronously, the microcontroller actuates a suction unit 120 installed on the body 101 and works in sync with the primary imaging unit 103 for extracting debris accumulated near the cattle.

[0056] The suction unit 120 operates by creating negative pressure to draw in air or fluid through a suction inlet. It works on concept of a vacuum pump that generates the necessary suction force. When activated by the microcontrollers, the pump evacuates air from the suction inlet, creating a vacuum that causes atmospheric pressure to push the debris towards the inlet. The collected debris is consequently directed into a waste compartment 121 linked with the suction unit 120 and located within the body 101, to allow for easy disposal of the debris.

[0057] The suction unit 120 is equipped with multiple suction pipes. Each of the pipe is adaptable for generation of optimal pressure, for extraction of debris from different areas of the shelter based on amount and type of debris detected, by the primary imaging unit 103.

[0058] The body 101 is arranged with a receptacle 123 storing mixture of water and disinfecting liquid. The receptacle 123 in configured with an electronic sprayer 122. Post collection of the debris, the microcontroller actuates the electronic sprayer 122 to spray the mixture of water and disinfecting liquid, near the cattle in view of sterilizing surrounding area. The working of the sprayer 122 is similar to the working of the nozzles 115 as mentioned above, thereby maintaining a hygienic environment around the cattle. The hygienic environment ensures well-being of the cattle and impregnated cattle throughout pregnancy, from pre-birth to post-birth stages.

[0059] The microcontroller via the primary imaging unit 103 is configured to scan new born calf, for detecting any signs of infections such as diarrhoea, fever or weakness. In case the microcontroller detects any signs of infections in the new born calf, the microcontroller generates a wireless notification to the computing unit for prompting immediate preventive action to eliminate any risk of health hazard.

[0060] In an embodiment of the present invention, a dedicated air-blowing nozzle is incorporated in the bands 109 such that ensures the disinfected area is dried efficiently, keeping the cattle environment clean.

[0061] A battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the system to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the system.

[0062] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the body 101 is installed with motorized wheels 102 for mobility within the shelter housing cattle, where the user interface, wirelessly linked to the computing unit, enables the user to input commands for various operations. The microcontroller processes these commands, and when health checks of cattle or fetus are requested, it activates the imaging unit 103 for positioning the body 101 near the cattle and capturing images to assess health. The slot 104 on the body 101 allows positioning of the impregnated cattle, where the six-bar linkage assembly 105 controls platform 106 movement for scanning health using the inspection unit 107. The holographic projection unit 108 displays real-time health data for veterinary consultation. Wearable bands 109 on cattle monitor health parameters, with the microcontroller generating health reviews and supplement needs based on this data. The chamber 111 stores fodder and supplements, dispensing appropriate amounts via motorized iris lids 113.
