Research of temperature measurement for pigs base on infrared temperature measurement system

As we all know, the temperature in the process of pig breeding is an important factor in determining the pigs´health. In recent years, with the live pig breeding scaled and automationed, artificial pigs´body temperature measurement has become impractical, and along with the rapid development of the non-contact infrared temperature measurement technology, the continuous improvement of equipment performance, it´s practical scope expands unceasingly, the market share of which has risen steadily. For pig breeding, the noncontact temperature measurement system has the advantages of safe employment, low cost, having no influences on pigs´ growth, etc. This design adopts the 51 series single-chip microcomputer as the main controller, which is simple, easy-to-use, and has low cost and good stability. This system is realized by Atmel company´s AT89S52 SCM system USES.
