しかしながら、例えば乳牛の場合、雄の仔牛を出産するよりも雌の仔牛を出産する方が価値が高く、逆に、和牛の場合は、雌の仔牛を出産するよりも雄の仔牛を出産した方が価値が高い。このような背景に従い、妊娠率を向上させる技術に加え、望みの性別の仔牛を出産させることができる産み分け技術の開発が求められている。   However, for example, in the case of dairy cows, it is more valuable to give birth to female calves than to give male calves; conversely, in the case of Japanese beef, to give birth to male calves rather than to give female calves. Is high in value. In accordance with such a background, in addition to a technique for improving the pregnancy rate, development of a parting technique capable of giving birth to a calf of a desired sex is required.

本発明は上記のように構成されており、発情開始時刻から人工授精を行なった時刻までの時間と生まれた仔牛の雌雄の結果から創作された発明である。   The present invention is configured as described above, and is an invention created from the time from the start time of estrus to the time of artificial insemination and the results of the born calves.

本発明では、通常人工授精に代え、交尾によって仔牛を授精させてもよいが、人工授精の場合は、精子は注入器によって子宮頚管内に注入される(直腸膣法)ため、精子が卵子に到達するまでの時間は、人工授精の方が交尾の場合よりも3時間程短い。   In the present invention, calves may be inseminated by mating instead of normal artificial insemination. The time to reach is about 3 hours shorter for artificial insemination than for mating.

従って、交尾によって授精させる場合は、雌牛の発情開始時刻からの経過時間は3時間早く設定する必要があり、交尾の場合、発情開始時刻から4時間以上8時間経過するまでに少なくとも1回交尾させ、雄の仔牛を妊娠させたい場合は、発情開始時刻から13時間以上18時間経過するまでに少なくとも1回交尾させるようにすればいよい。   Therefore, when fertilizing by mating, the elapsed time from the estrus start time of the cow must be set 3 hours earlier, and in the case of mating, the cows are mated at least once until 4 hours or more and 8 hours have elapsed When it is desired to conceive a male calf, it is only necessary to mate at least once before the estrus start time reaches 13 to 18 hours.

雌雄産み分けが可能になり、価値の高い仔牛が獲られる。   It is possible to discriminate between male and female, and valuable calves are caught.

図1の符号10は、本発明の仔牛産み分け方法を実施するために用いられる発情時期検出装置を示している。
この発情時期検出装置10は、集計装置20と歩数計30を有している。
The code | symbol 10 of FIG. 1 has shown the estrus time detection apparatus used in order to implement the calf-partitioning method of this invention.
The estrus timing detection device 10 includes a counting device 20 and a pedometer 30.

集計装置20は、屋内に配置されたコンピュータ21と、屋外に配置された通信装置23とを有しており、通信装置23とコンピュータ21とは有線接続によって、信号の送受信ができるように構成されている。通信装置23にはアンテナ22が接続されており、後述するように、このアンテナ22を介して歩数計30と通信装置23とが信号の送受信をできるように構成されている。   The tally device 20 includes a computer 21 disposed indoors and a communication device 23 disposed outdoors, and the communication device 23 and the computer 21 are configured to transmit and receive signals by wired connection. ing. An antenna 22 is connected to the communication device 23, and as described later, the pedometer 30 and the communication device 23 are configured to transmit and receive signals via the antenna 22.

歩数計30は、ベルト等によって家畜の雌牛8の脚に装着されている。歩数計30は、首に装着することもできる。歩数計30のベルトには筺体が取りつけられており、該筺体の内部には、歩行判別装置31と、制御装置32と、時計33と、アンテナ34と、バッテリー35とが配置されている。歩行判別装置31、制御装置32、時計33はバッテリー35が供給する電力によって動作する。   The pedometer 30 is attached to the leg of the domestic cow 8 by a belt or the like. The pedometer 30 can also be attached to the neck. A housing is attached to the belt of the pedometer 30, and a walking discrimination device 31, a control device 32, a clock 33, an antenna 34, and a battery 35 are disposed inside the housing. The walking discrimination device 31, the control device 32, and the clock 33 are operated by power supplied from the battery 35.

雌牛8が歩数計30を装着して歩行している場合、歩数計30に振動が加わるから、歩行判別装置31は、その振動によって雌牛8の歩行を検出し、一歩歩行する毎に制御装置32に信号を出力し、制御装置32が歩数を積算する。   When the cow 8 is walking with the pedometer 30 attached, vibration is applied to the pedometer 30, so that the walking discriminating device 31 detects the walking of the cow 8 by the vibration, and the control device 32 every time one step is taken. The control device 32 accumulates the number of steps.

制御装置32には、測定開始時刻と測定終了時刻の組合せから成る測定期間が一日のうちに複数個設定されており、一の測定期間の測定終了時刻は次の測定期間の測定開始時刻と一致するようにされ、一日24時間が連続して歩数測定されるように構成されている。   In the control device 32, a plurality of measurement periods each consisting of a combination of measurement start time and measurement end time are set in one day, and the measurement end time of one measurement period is the same as the measurement start time of the next measurement period. The number of steps is measured continuously for 24 hours a day.

なお、測定期間は、測定開始時刻と測定終了時刻の両方が設定される場合に限定されるものではなく、測定期間が連続している場合は、例えば、各測定期間の測定開始時刻を設定し、次の測定期間の測定開始時刻で、前の測定期間の測定を終了させるように設定してもよい。また、一日の最初の測定開始時刻と各測定期間の測定時間を設定し、一日24時間測定するようにしてもよい。   The measurement period is not limited to the case where both the measurement start time and the measurement end time are set. If the measurement period is continuous, for example, the measurement start time for each measurement period is set. The measurement in the previous measurement period may be set to end at the measurement start time in the next measurement period. Alternatively, the first measurement start time of the day and the measurement time of each measurement period may be set to measure 24 hours a day.

制御装置32は、歩行判別装置31から入力されるデータに基づいて雌牛8の歩数を測定しており、時計33から入力される信号に基づいて予め設定された測定開始時刻で積算を開始し、測定終了時刻で積算を終了してその数値を記憶し、次の測定期間の積算を開始するように構成されている。   The control device 32 measures the number of steps of the cow 8 based on the data input from the walking discriminating device 31, starts integration at a measurement start time set in advance based on the signal input from the clock 33, The integration is completed at the measurement end time, the numerical value is stored, and the integration for the next measurement period is started.

各歩数計30の制御装置32の内部には、歩数計30同士を相互に区別する識別番号がそれぞれ記憶されている。
一の測定期間の測定が終了すると、その測定期間の間に積算された歩数は、歩数データとして、識別番号と共に歩数計30内のアンテナ34から送信される。
一の測定期間の測定が終了し、次の測定期間の積算が開始されるとき、ゼロから積算が開始される。
An identification number for distinguishing the pedometers 30 from each other is stored in the control device 32 of each pedometer 30.
When the measurement in one measurement period is completed, the number of steps accumulated during the measurement period is transmitted from the antenna 34 in the pedometer 30 together with the identification number as step number data.
When the measurement for one measurement period ends and the integration for the next measurement period starts, the integration starts from zero.

なお、歩数計30から歩数データの送信が行なわれる時刻は制御装置32内に予め設定されており、時計33から入力される時刻が設定された時刻になったときだけ、制御装置32内の送信回路に電力が投入され、計測結果が送信されるように構成されている。送信時刻は、測定期間の測定終了時刻に設定しておき、一測定期間の歩数の積算が終了すると直ちに送信するようにしてもよいし、送信時刻を測定終了時刻とは異なる他の時刻に設定してもよい。この場合、複数の家畜相互間で異なる時刻に送信されるようにしてもよい。
歩数計30は、送信データが集計装置20に受信されたことが確認されるまで積算値を再送信するように設定することができる。
The time at which the pedometer 30 transmits the step count data is preset in the control device 32, and the transmission in the control device 32 is performed only when the time input from the clock 33 reaches the set time. The circuit is configured so that power is input and a measurement result is transmitted. The transmission time may be set to the measurement end time of the measurement period, and the transmission time may be transmitted immediately after the integration of the number of steps in one measurement period is completed, or the transmission time may be set to another time different from the measurement end time. May be. In this case, it may be transmitted at different times among a plurality of livestock.
The pedometer 30 can be set to retransmit the integrated value until it is confirmed that the transmission data is received by the counting device 20.

いずれにしろ、一測定期間の歩数の集計値が集計装置20のアンテナ22を介して通信装置23によって受信されると、受信したデータは、識別番号と測定期間の測定時刻と対応付けて、コンピュータ21の記憶装置内に記憶される。   In any case, when the total value of the number of steps in one measurement period is received by the communication device 23 via the antenna 22 of the totaling device 20, the received data is associated with the identification number and the measurement time of the measurement period, and the computer It is stored in 21 storage devices.

雌牛8の個体は識別番号によって管理されており、識別番号が分かれば受信データがどの雌牛8の歩数であるか判別できるので、コンピュータ21の記憶装置内では、歩数データは雌牛毎に時刻と対応付けて記憶されている。   The individual of the cow 8 is managed by the identification number, and if the identification number is known, it is possible to determine which cow 8 the received data is the number of steps of the cow 8. In the storage device of the computer 21, the number of steps data corresponds to the time for each cow. It is remembered.

発情開始時刻の検出方法について説明する。
現在までに測定が終了している測定期間のうち、現在に最も近い直近測定期間T0の歩数をx0、直近測定期間T0の長さをy時間とすると、単位時間当たりの歩数である直近歩数はx0/yである。
過去の一時刻を起算時刻とし、起算時刻から所定時間t内の合計歩数をSとすると、所定時間t内の単位時間当たりの歩数である基準歩数の値はS/tである。
A method for detecting the estrus start time will be described.
Of the measurement periods for which measurement has been completed up to now, the number of steps per unit time is represented by x 0 as the number of steps in the latest measurement period T 0 closest to the present time and y as the length of the latest measurement period T 0. The most recent number of steps is x 0 / y.
Assuming that the past one time is the starting time and the total number of steps within a predetermined time t from the starting time is S, the value of the standard step number, which is the number of steps per unit time within the predetermined time t, is S / t.

本発明では直近歩数x0/yと、基準歩数S/tを比較し、予め設定された基準値Rとの間で、下記(1)式、
R ≦ (x0/y)/(S/t) …(1)
が成立したとき、直近測定期間T0の測定終了時刻を発情開始時刻と判断するように設定されている。Rは、飼育場所や牛の種類によって値が異なるが、Rは“3”程度に設定すると正確に検出できる場合が多い。
In the present invention, the most recent number of steps x 0 / y is compared with the reference number of steps S / t, and between the preset reference value R, the following equation (1):
R ≦ (x 0 / y) / (S / t) (1)
Is established, the measurement end time of the latest measurement period T 0 is determined as the estrus start time. The value of R varies depending on the breeding place and type of cow, but when R is set to about “3”, it can often be detected accurately.

次に、過去の計測に基づく単位時間当たりの基準歩数S/tを求めるための時間tは、連続するN個の測定期間の合計時間に設定することができる。
例えば、歩数の計測が毎日同時刻に同一時間だけ行なわれている場合、直近測定期間T0よりも過去の一測定期間を起算測定期間T1とし、起算測定期間T1を含み、起算測定期間T1よりも過去の連続したN個の測定期間T1〜TNの合計時間を、基準歩数S/tを求めるための時間tとすることができる。
Next, the time t for obtaining the reference number of steps S / t per unit time based on the past measurement can be set to the total time of N consecutive measurement periods.
For example, when the number of steps is measured every day at the same time for the same amount of time, the first measurement period prior to the most recent measurement period T 0 is set as the initial measurement period T 1 , and the initial measurement period T 1 is included. A total time of N measurement periods T 1 to T N consecutive in the past from T 1 can be set as a time t for obtaining the reference step count S / t.

本発明では、特に、起算測定期間T1が、直近測定期間T0の測定終了時刻と同時刻の前日の時刻を測定終了時刻とする測定期間に設定されている。従って、合計歩数Sは、その起算測定期間T1を含み、起算測定期間T1よりも過去の連続したN個の測定期間T1〜TNの歩数x1〜xNの合計値である。 In the present invention, in particular, the starting measurement period T 1 is set to a measurement period in which the time on the day before the measurement end time of the latest measurement period T 0 is the measurement end time. Thus, the total number of steps S includes the commencement measurement period T 1, than reckoned measurement period T 1 is the sum of the number of steps x 1 ~x N past successive N pieces of the measurement period T 1 through T N.

歩数の計測が毎日同時刻に同一時間だけ行なわれている場合、一測定期間を単位時間とすると、単位時間当たりの直近歩数の値はx0に等しく、単位時間当たりの基準歩数A(=S/t)は下記(2)式によって算出される。
A=S/N=(x1+x2+……+xN)/N …(2)
例えば、毎日毎時00分毎に一時間ずつ測定が行なわれる場合、一測定期間は一時間である。直近測定時刻T0の測定終了時刻が4月1日午前3時00分であったとし、N=360にすると、3月31日午前2:00を測定開始時刻、同日午前3時00分を測定終了時刻とする起算測定期間T1から、3月16日午前3:00を測定開始時刻、同日午前4:00を測定終了時刻とする期間T360までの期間の歩数の合計値が合計歩数Sとなる。
When the number of steps is measured every day for the same time at the same time, assuming that one measurement period is a unit time, the value of the most recent number of steps per unit time is equal to x 0 and the reference number of steps A (= S / T) is calculated by the following equation (2).
A = S / N = (x 1 + x 2 + ... + x N ) / N (2)
For example, when measurement is performed every hour for every hour every hour, one measurement period is one hour. If the measurement end time of the most recent measurement time T 0 was 3:00 am on April 1, and N = 360, the measurement start time was 3:00 am on March 31, and 3:00 am on the same day. from counting the measurement period T 1 to be measured end time, March 16, measurement start time 3:00 am, the total value of the total number of steps of the number of steps of the period up to the period T 360 for the same day 4:00 aM and the measurement end time S.

なお、同時刻に測定が行なわれず、前日に、測定終了時刻が直近測定期間T0と同時刻の測定期間が無い場合、起算測定期間T1は、直近測定期間T0の測定終了時刻に最も近い測定終了時刻を有する測定期間に設定すればよい。 If measurement is not performed at the same time and there is no measurement period having the same measurement end time as the most recent measurement period T 0 on the previous day, the starting measurement period T 1 is the longest at the measurement end time of the most recent measurement period T 0. What is necessary is just to set to the measurement period which has near measurement end time.

歩数の測定が進行し、測定が終了した測定期間が増えると、N個の測定期間の内容は、最も古い測定期間の歩数が廃棄され、新しい直近歩数を計測した測定期間の測定開始時刻と同時刻の前日の時刻を測定開始時刻とする測定期間が新しく採用されるから、古い測定値が新しい測定値に変更される移動平均値であり、新しい測定結果が得られ、直近歩数が新しくなると、基準歩数も新しくなる。   As the measurement of the number of steps progresses and the number of measurement periods in which the measurement is completed increases, the contents of the N measurement periods are the same as the measurement start time of the measurement period in which the number of steps in the oldest measurement period is discarded and the newest number of steps is measured. Since the measurement period with the measurement start time as the previous day of the time is newly adopted, it is a moving average value in which the old measurement value is changed to the new measurement value, and when a new measurement result is obtained and the latest number of steps is new, The standard number of steps will also be updated.

直近歩数が新しくなる度に、上記(1)式が成立するか否か判断され、連続してM回(ここではM=3)以上継続して成立したときにその雌牛は発情したと判断し、発情開始時刻を、連続して(1)式が成立したときの最初の測定期間の測定終了時刻に設定する。なお、連続して(2)式が成立したときの最初の測定期間の測定終了時刻を発情開始時刻に設定する場合に限定されるものではなく、例えば、その測定期間の測定開始時刻を発情開始時刻に設定してもよい。   Each time the most recent number of steps is renewed, it is determined whether or not the above equation (1) is satisfied. When the number of consecutive steps continues continuously M times (here, M = 3) or more, it is determined that the cow is in estrus. The estrus start time is set to the measurement end time of the first measurement period when the formula (1) is continuously established. In addition, it is not limited to the case where the measurement end time of the first measurement period when equation (2) is continuously established is set as the estrus start time. For example, the measurement start time of the measurement period is set as the estrus start time. The time may be set.

図3のグラフの横軸は、月及び日付を含む時刻であり、縦軸は歩数である。符号L1で示した折れ線は、Y牧場のNo.0288の雌牛の一時間毎の歩数測定結果であり、測定開始時刻は、一日の0時00分から23時の00分までの一時間毎の時刻である。 The horizontal axis of the graph of FIG. 3 is the time including the month and date, and the vertical axis is the number of steps. The broken line indicated by the symbol L 1 indicates the No. of Y ranch. 0288 is the result of measuring the number of steps per hour, and the measurement start time is the time every hour from 0:00 to 23:00 of the day.

また、同図符号L2の折れ線は、No.0288の雌牛の各測定期間の直前の360回の測定期間の移動平均の値である。一測定期間の測定時間は1時間であるから、360回の測定期間は360時間、即ち、15日間の測定結果の移動平均値である。 In addition, the broken line indicated by the symbol L 2 in FIG. 0288 is a moving average value of 360 measurement periods immediately before each measurement period of the cow. Since the measurement time of one measurement period is 1 hour, 360 measurement periods are 360 hours, that is, a moving average value of measurement results for 15 days.

上記(1)式の基準値Rは、ここでは“3”に設定したものとし、また、3回連続して(1)式が成立したときに発情したと判断するものとすると、同図のグラフからは、5月1日1時に最初に(1)式が成立し(A=50,x0=550)、その後、少なくとも3回以上の測定期間は連続して(1)式が成立しているから、5月1日1時が発情開始時刻である。 Assuming that the reference value R in the above equation (1) is set to “3” here, and that it is determined that the estrus is established when the equation (1) is established three times in succession, From the graph, equation (1) is established first at 1 o'clock on May 1 (A = 50, x 0 = 550), and thereafter equation (1) is established continuously for at least three measurement periods. Therefore, 1 o'clock on May 1 is the estrus start time.

発情の開始が検出されると、コンピュータ21のディスプレイに発情が開始した雌牛を特定できる番号、名称等の個体識別標が表示される。そしてその雌牛を群れの中から識別し、別の場所に移動させて、下記のように、雌雄のいずれを望むかにより、発情開始時刻からの経過時間を変えて人工授精させる。   When the start of estrus is detected, an individual identification mark such as a number and a name that can identify the cow that has started estrus is displayed on the display of the computer 21. Then, the cow is identified from the herd, moved to another location, and artificial insemination is performed by changing the elapsed time from the estrus start time depending on which one of the males and females is desired, as described below.

次に、雌雄の産み分けについて説明する。
多数の雌牛に対し、上記のように実際に歩数の測定を行ない、発情開始を検出し、発情開始時刻を求めた。そして、測定した各雌牛それぞれを人工授精させる際、発情開始時刻から人工授精の時刻までの経過時間を異ならせた。
Next, the sex division will be described.
For many cows, the number of steps was actually measured as described above, the start of estrus was detected, and the start time of estrus was obtained. And when each measured cow was artificially inseminated, the elapsed time from the time of estrus to the time of artificial insemination was varied.

そして、各雌牛のから出産された仔牛の性別を調査し、発情開始時刻から人工授精時刻までの経過時間と性別との関係を調べた。普通は確実に妊娠させるために、一回の発情期間中に複数回の人工授精を行なわせるが、一回の発情期間中には一回の人工授精しか行なわせず、発情開始時刻から人工授精までの経過時間と妊娠した仔牛の性別の関係を明確にすることにした。   And the sex of the calf born from each cow was investigated, and the relationship between the elapsed time from the estrus start time to the artificial insemination time and the sex was examined. Normally, in order to ensure pregnancy, multiple artificial insemination is performed during one estrus period, but only one artificial insemination is performed during one estrus period, and artificial insemination is performed from the start time of estrus. It was decided to clarify the relationship between the time elapsed until pregnancy and the sex of pregnant calves.

図4のグラフは、上記条件で、一発情期間内に一回だけ人工授精させた247頭の雌牛の出産結果であり、横軸は発情開始時刻から人工授精時刻までの経過時間である。247頭は、二カ所の牧場において、測定対象とした雌牛の合計頭数である。   The graph of FIG. 4 is a birth result of 247 cows artificially inseminated only once in one estrus period under the above conditions, and the horizontal axis is the elapsed time from the estrus start time to the artificial insemination time. 247 heads are the total number of cows to be measured in two farms.

図4の左縦軸は頭数であり授精頭数と雌又は雄の出生頭数の折れ線に対応しており、右縦軸は受胎率(時間帯別の受胎率)であり、受胎率の折れ線に対応している。
この図4のグラフから、発情開始時刻から7時間が経過するまでは受胎率が低く、人工授精の作業を行なっても妊娠する確率が低いことが分かる。
The left vertical axis in FIG. 4 is the number of heads and corresponds to the line of fertilization and the number of female or male births. The right vertical axis is the conception rate (conception rate by time zone) and corresponds to the line of conception rate. is doing.
From the graph of FIG. 4, it can be seen that the conception rate is low until 7 hours have elapsed from the start time of estrus, and the probability of becoming pregnant even if artificial insemination is performed is low.

発情開始時刻から人工授精までの経過時間が7時間以上11時間以下の範囲では、雄の出生頭数よりも雌の出生頭数の方が多く、雌の仔牛が欲しい場合には、確率上、7時間以上11時間以下の経過時間内で人工授精を行なわせればよいことが分かる。   If the elapsed time from the start time of estrus to artificial insemination is 7 hours or more and 11 hours or less, the number of female births is greater than the number of male births, and if you want a female calf, the probability is 7 hours. It can be seen that artificial insemination should be performed within an elapsed time of 11 hours or less.

それに対し、発情開始時刻から人工授精までの経過時間が16時間以上21時間以下の範囲では、雄の出生頭数の方が雌の出生頭数よりも多くなっており、雄の仔牛が欲しい場合には、確率上、16時間以上21時間以下の経過時間内で人工授精を行なわせればよいことが分かる。   On the other hand, if the elapsed time from the start time of estrus to artificial insemination is in the range of 16 hours or more and 21 hours or less, the number of male births is greater than the number of female births. From the viewpoint of probability, it is understood that artificial insemination should be performed within an elapsed time of 16 hours or more and 21 hours or less.

コンピュータ21には、産み分け時間が予め記憶されており、発情開始時刻が検出されると、その時刻から7時間経過した時刻が雌の仔牛を得る授精開始時刻として表示され、11時間が経過した時刻が雌の仔牛を得る授精終了時刻として表示される。
また、その時刻から16時間経過した時刻が雄の仔牛を得る授精開始時刻として表示され、21時間が経過した時刻が雄の仔牛を得る授精終了時刻として表示される。
The computer 21 stores birth time in advance, and when the estrus start time is detected, the time when 7 hours have elapsed from that time is displayed as the insemination start time for obtaining a female calf, and 11 hours have elapsed. The time is displayed as the insemination end time for obtaining the female calf.
In addition, the time when 16 hours have elapsed from that time is displayed as the insemination start time for obtaining the male calf, and the time after 21 hours is displayed as the insemination end time for obtaining the male calf.

これらの授精開始及び終了時刻は、雌牛の個体識別番号と関連づけて表示されるので、どの雌牛を何時頃人工授精させればよいか、直ちに分かるようになっている。雌雄のうち、いずれか一方の授精開始時刻及び終了時刻を表示してもよい。   Since these insemination start and end times are displayed in association with the individual identification number of the cow, it is possible to immediately know which cow should be artificially inseminated. You may display the insemination start time and end time of either one of male and female.

なお、発情開始時刻から16時間以上26時間以下の範囲でも雄の出生頭数の方が多いから、一回の人工授精期間中で繰り返し人工授精を行なわせる場合、雄の仔牛が欲しいときには、16時間を経過した後26時間までは、繰り返し人工授精を行なわせることができる。   In addition, since the number of male births is larger in the range of 16 hours or more and 26 hours or less from the start time of estrus, it is 16 hours when male calves are desired when repeated artificial insemination is performed during one artificial insemination period. Up to 26 hours after elapse of time, artificial insemination can be repeated.

「授精頭数」は人工授精を行なわせた雌牛の数である。
Details of the measurement results of the graph of FIG. 4 are shown in Table 1 below.
