Cattle estrus detection system based on Internet of Things is designed and implemented by using Arduino pro-mini, gyroscope, acceleration sensor, bluetooth master and slave module. The implemented system measures cattle's moving and the measured data are transmitted to the computer connected to RX module by bluetooth TX module. They are plotted in 2-dimensional graph on the computer monitor and the number of transition at each sensor axis are calculated from the graph. The detected and gathered data from the system are analyzed by the proposed algorithm to decide which cows are in the estrus or not. The method to apply bluetooth scatternet is shown and the proposed system can be used to increase the success rate of artificial insemination in normal estrus by detecting the cow's behaviors such as the number of jumping. In this paper, the implemented cattle behavior detecting the system(TX module) are strapped on cattle's leg and it measures the cattle behaviors for determining where that a cattle is estrus or not by the proposed algorithm.

In the paper, we reduce non-pregnant conditions and improve impregnation rate by unmanned estrus detection and decide proper time for artificial insemination. It is too hard to detect estrus only by using activities, we develop unmanned estrus detection system that consist of RF activity sensors, cow management program and estrus detection algorithm that uses information of activities and breeding. We verify performance by experiments in four similar scale stockbreeding farmhouse. Each stockbreeding farmhouse breeds 87, 81, 93, 82 cows and expected estrus cows are 14, 19, 15, 17. In expected estrus cow, we fail in weak estrus detection - 3, 2, 1, 3 cows, but detect successfully normal estrus - 11, 17, 14, 14 cows. After artificial insemination, 10, 17, 13, 14 cows became pregnant successfully confirming that proposed unmanned estrus detection system is effective for deciding proper time for artificial insemination in normal estrus.

소의 생산성 향상을 위해서는 번식효율의 증진과 개체의 유전능력을 충분히 발휘할 수 있도록 적절한 사양관리를 실시하여야 한다. 특히 번식관리는 발정관찰로부터 출발하며 발정관찰의 원활한 수행이 없이는 좋은 번식성적을 기대할 수 없다. 그러나 발정관찰은 많은 시간과 노동력이 요구되며 이로 인하여 발정관찰방법과 보조기구가 개발되어 시판되고 있다. 본 연구는 발정관찰의 편리성과 정확성을 개선하고자 (주)한경게놈텍에서 개발한 무인발정관리시스템(HMS)을 활용하여 발정발현양상을 분석하였다. 실험에 공시된 시험축은 안성인근 지역에서 사육되는 35두의 홀스타인 경산우를 선발하였으며, 발정주기에 관계없이 무작위로 선발하여 미근부에 감지센서를 부착하고 감지시간을 0.1초 이상으로 설정하여 매직닥터를 설치하였다. 발정감지횟수와 감지시간의 분석은 승가허용 감지시간이 0.5초 이상인 것만을 승가허용으로 간주하고 분석하였다.

The detection of estrus is very important for the successful reproductive efficiency of cattle. This has prompted the development of electronic estrus detection techniques by using the characterization of estrus behavior. The objective of this study was to investigate the changes in physical activity, mounting behavior and vocalization during estrus in Hanwoo (Korean native cattle). Bio-telemetry devices were attached to 4 multiparous Hanwoo and physical activity was compared, namely mounting behavior and vocalization for 6 days (from 2 days before the day of estrus to 3 days after the day of estrus). Physical activity rapidly increased on the day of estrus (p<0.001) and was frequently observed at night time. Mounting behavior gradually increased, starting from 2 days before the day of estrus and reached its highest level on the day of estrus (p<0.01). The circadian rhythm showed irregularities during this entire period (p>0.05). There was no significant difference in vocalization during the experiment period (p>0.05). In conclusion, we assumed that mounting behavior is an early indicator to detect estrus in Hanwoo and if both mounting behavior and physical activity are considered together it would be possible to detect estrus with a higher probability. Further studies with more information from different sources regarding the measuring of estrus in Hanwoo are needed.

소의 황체 조직내 임신특이단백질의 유무를 확인하기 위하여 도축장 유래의 난소 황체를 Ireland 등 (1980) 의 방법에 따라 발정주기중의 황체를 CLl(발정주기 1-4 일), CL2( 발정주기 5-10 일), CL3( 발정주기 11-17 일), 및 CL4(발정주기 18-20일)로 분류하였고 임신 황체는 임신일령을 추정하여 분류하였다. 황체 조직의 SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis를 위하여 native binding buffer(20mM sodium phosphate, 500mM sodium chloride, pH 7.8) 에서 homogenization 한 후 원심분리하여 상층액을 이용하였다.

The purpose of the study is to investigate the change in the blood progesterone (P4) and estrogen (E2) levels when applying different estrus induction protocols to Korean black goats, and this was done to gain understanding about their reproduction physiology. For the experiment, we performed three estrus induction protocols that are commonly used in bovine: controlled internal drug release (CIDR) + prostaglandin $F2{\alpha}$ ($PGF2{\alpha}$), $PGF2{\alpha}$ + gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) + $PGF2{\alpha}$, and CIDR + $PGF2{\alpha}$ + PMSG. The P4 and E2 concentrations showed different patterns until the last treatment of the three protocols. However, similar concentration patterns were shown after the last treatment in all the protocols. In conclusion, we monitored the blood P4 and E2 levels in Korean black goats following three different estrus induction protocols. Our findings may be used in other breeding programs of Korean black goats, such as artificial insemination and embryo transfer.
