Design and Implementation of a Radio Telemetry System to Monitor the Deep Body Temperature of Broilers

육계의 체온 관찰을 위한 무선 원격측정 시스템 설계 및 구현

  • Published : 2008.02.28

Abstract

A radio telemetry system was fabricated to continuously measure the deep body temperature (DBT) of broilers as an effort to monitor the occurrences of possible poultry diseases. It was shown that the DBT of broilers could be measured with an accuracy of ${\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. Daily fluctuation of DBT in case of a 40 days old broiler was evaluated. To develop a system which can control the environment of poultry housing in real time based on DBT measurements, we proposed the design criteria of a dedicated receiver unit.

가금류에서 발생 가능한 질병을 관찰하기 위한 노력의 일환으로 육계의 체온(DBT)을 지속적으로 측정할 수 있는 무선 원격측정 시스템을 제작하였다. 이 시스템을 사용하여 육계의 DBT를 ${\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$의 정확도로 측정할 수 있음을 보였다. 또한 40일령의 육계가 보이는 일간 체온 변화도 평가하였다. 본 논문에서는 DBT 측정에 기반을 두어 실시간으로 가금류 사육시설의 환경을 제어할 수 있는 시스템을 개발하기 위한 전용 수신기의 설계 기준을 제시하였다.
