IDENTIFICATION OF COW ESTRUS BY MEANS OF THE IMPC «MAYSTAR» HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE COMPLEX

The general characteristic of systems used in the Republic of Belarus to identify and measure technological and biological parameters of cows in article are gives. The results of testing the system IMPC «MAYSTAR» of identification and control of the physiological state of animals are presented. The system was developed by the Republican Unitary Enterprise «Research and Production Center of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus on Agricultural Mechanization» together with the manufacturer of equipment for dairy farms LLC «Polyether AGRO». Comparative tests have shown that the hardware-software complex IMPC «MAYSTAR» is not inferior in basic technical and technological characteristics to a similar complex produced by ALLFLEX (SCR). Tests have shown that the system can be used effectively to reliably detect cows in the hunt by analyzing the indicators of motor activity, number of jumps and rumination. The system is adaptive to the technology of milk production on the farm and physiological characteristics of cows.
