應用無線射頻辨識技術e化管理乳牛群

本研究旨在探討無線射頻辨識（Radio Frequency Identification, RFID）技術應用於乳牛場之生產與管理作業效率，包括內置RFID標籤之電子耳標、讀取器、無線傳輸設施與網際網路。所選用之乳牛用RFID電子耳標為被動式超高頻標籤，由聚胺酯材質封裝，耳標外表印製牛隻編號，釘掛於牛隻右耳內側供牛群管理人用肉眼觀察識別個別牛隻身份。以具個人數位助理（Personal Digital Assistant, PDA）功能之手持讀取器讀取電子耳標之距離在80 cm以上，並即可用該讀取器收集更新牛隻性能之資料包括配種、乾乳、分娩、疾病治療、施打疫苗、體型評鑑、體重、體溫等或查詢牛隻性能資訊。在牛舍擠乳間則裝置固定讀取器1組，於兩側擠乳走道入口處各以2支不同位置及角度之天線逐一讀取通過牛隻的電子耳標，在擠乳間內設置觸控式電腦螢幕1臺，顯示各被讀取到的乳牛編號、上次擠乳之乳量及乳質，並以不同顏色預警，提醒工作人員需特別注意的牛隻，並即刻作改善措施。各牛隻擠乳完畢後，工作人員可於觸控式螢幕用手直接點入乳量資料，完成擠乳間乳量資料收集。在牛舍或擠乳間所收集或更新的牛隻資料，不必觀察及用手抄寫，牛隻編號及日期資料直接由電腦系統日期存檔，所收集之性能資料只需在現場一次輸入後，藉由無線傳輸至牧場電腦，再經網路上傳至乳牛群性能改良計畫（Dairy Herd Improvement, DHI）之資料處理中心處理資料，所得的牛隻資訊再下傳回到牧場電腦及手持讀取器內，以及時、方便、自動、精準且用無紙報表資訊來管理牛群，充分改善DHI作業效率與提昇酪農經營效率。

The study was made to investigate radio frequency identification (RFID) technology used for dairy herd electronic management include UHF RFID electronic ear tags, reader, data wireless transmission and information network. The selected RFID electronic ear tag is passive read and sealed by polyurethane material and is hang up at the inner part of right ear of dairy cow. Cow's ID is displayed on exterior of ear tag for herdsman visual identification. The hand-hold reader with Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) function can read cow's ID from RFID ear tag with over 80 cm distances. The dairy herdsman can use the hand-hold reader in the barn for looking into the current performance of the cows and collecting or editing data of dairy cow performance such as breeding, drying, calving, disease treatment, vaccine, type classification, body weight and body temperature. In milking parlor, a fixed reader with 4 sets of antenna was set up. At the entrance of each side in milking room, 2 antenna at different location and angle were installed to read ID from RFID ear-tag. After dairy cows pass through entrance one by one, the cow's ID, milk yield and quality of the cow last milking with different color to alert herdsman to notice special cow will be shown on a touch-panel monitor in the milking room. The herdsman could therefore improve the practices in time for these special cows. After all cows finish milking, the herdsman can input current milk yield by hand on the touch-panel monitor. All data of cow's ID and current data will be collected by hand only once. After collecting data at barn and milking parlor, data will be transmitted through wireless to the farm office computer and then through network to connect with Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) records processing system. The DHI individual cows' performance information will be downloaded to farm computer and hand-hold reader. Applications of RFID technology on the dairy farm help herdsman to collecting data without time-consuming, using information in time, automatically, accurately and without any paper reports for dairy herd management. RFID technology could help dairy farmers to improve the efficiency of DHI and farm operation.
