In modern livestock breeding, body temperature monitoring is very important to timely know the health status of livestock and improve breeding efficiency. Due to the traditional infrared temperature measurement equipment is easy to be affected by external factors and cause the body temperature data to be wrong, in recent years, the temperature measurement ear tag has been favored by more and more farmers. In order to ensure the continuous and accurate monitoring of individual body temperature, NTC thermistor will be inserted into the temperature measurement ear tags to improve the accuracy of temperature measurement.
As a key component of the temperature measurement ear tag, the NTC thermistor is generally integrated inside the ear tag. The temperature measurement head of NTC is placed at the ear tag that is in contact with the livestock, and the leads are electrically connected to the MCU. When the temperature measurement ear tag is in operation, the thermistor monitors the ear temperature of the livestock in real time and converts the data through the ADC. Subsequently, the MCU transmits the acquired temperature data to the terminal device (mobile phone, computer, etc.) through wireless communication (such as WiFi, Bluetooth, etc.). Through the analysis of temperature data, farmers can realize real-time monitoring of the health status of livestock, and once abnormal body temperature is found, they can take corresponding measures in time to prevent the spread of diseases and ensure the stable development of livestock husbandry. Compared with the traditional livestock temperature measurement scheme, the application of NTC thermistor in temperature measurement ear tag shows significant advantages:
1. Stable and effective temperature measurement assistance: farmers can set the temperature threshold of the ear tag according to the normal body temperature range of various types of livestock, once the body temperature detected by the NTC thermistor exceeds the preset temperature range, the ear tag will immediately trigger a reminder signal and notify the farmer through wireless communication. Farmers can timely know the abnormal body temperature of livestock, observe and treat sick livestock.
2. High accuracy of temperature measurement: livestock body temperature is one of the important indicators to judge their health. NTC can assist temperature measurement ear tags in accurately measure body temperature and determine whether the body temperature of livestock is abnormal, so that farmers can quickly make a preliminary assessment of their physical condition.
In the context of the continuous upgrading of intelligent breeding equipment, in order to meet the needs of more complex and more stringent temperature measurement, EXSENSE Electronics recommends the use of GT-R series/BT series/TS series NTC thermistors. These NTCs have high temperature measurement accuracy, which can assist in temperature measurement ear tags to reduce the measurement error of livestock body temperature and provide early warning of potential disease risks. In addition, these several type of thermistors have excellent weatherability, can adapt to various breeding environments, and maintain the normal operation of temperature measurement ear tags. Moreover, the small dimension of these NTC thermistors can meet the development needs of miniaturization and lightweight of temperature measurement ear tags.
With its excellent electrical performance, the NTC thermistor produced by EXSENSE Electronics ensures the accuracy of temperature monitoring of temperature measurement ear tags, so that farmers can judge the health status of livestock based on the temperature data provided by NTC, effectively reduce the risk of disease transmission. Through the synergy with other components inside the temperature measurement ear tag, the NTC thermistor of EXSENSE Electronics has become the core component of the animal husbandry temperature measurement ear tag to achieve high-efficiency and high-accuracy body temperature monitoring, and is an important foundation to ensure the healthy and stable development of livestock breeding.
