Definitions
- This present invention refers in general to analysing behaviour of animals.
- the invention concerns systems for measuring the appetence of animals, and especially of cats.
- appetence can be defined generally as a psychological state corresponding to a desire to consume a food item or a drink, in response to the perception of at least one organoleptic character of this product.
- measuring the appetence of an animal therefore includes a stage in which one measures a quantity of product that the animal has ingested after having been driven in this way.
- FIG. 1 A known system implementing a system of this type, and intended for cats, is represented in figure 1.
- the system includes a containment area H separated from a feeding arrangement A.
- the containment area is composed of an area which is used as a living space for the cats - some twenty or so cats, for example.
- the feeding arrangement A includes several spaces P each having one wall in common with the containment area H.
- the system has as many spaces P as there are cats.
- the said wall includes a trapdoor T providing selective access, and consisting of a lockable flap which is designed so that a cat can insert its head only.
- the space P devoted to a cat includes two receptacles holding two products to be tested.
- the cat In order to eat, the cat positions itself in front of the access trapdoor to its space P, with the trapdoor locked in the open position by default.
- the cat is authenticated by means of its label, and this unlocks the flap of the trapdoor.
- the cat can then, typically by pushing with its head, pass the latter through the trapdoor and gain access to the receptacles to left and right at will.
- the consumption of the cat is then measured using two balances placed under the two receptacles, and by a computer that can communicate with these balances.
- the individual consumption of each cat can be determined and recorded continuously throughout the day, so as to supply a precise record of their consumption in this period of time.
- One advantage of this system is therefore that such a measurement of consumption is effected automatically.
- Another advantage is that the receptacles are able to remain at the disposal of the cats during a whole day of testing, which allows their feeding habits to be respected as far as possible, and therefore with as little disruption as possible of their psychological behaviour.
- the applicant has determined that these systems cause the animals to develop bad habits, which affects the quality of the said measurements.
- the cats or at least a certain number of them, finish by always eating from the same receptacle, namely from that to the left or that to the right, regardless of the product presented.
- One objective of the invention is therefore to propose a system for the measurement of appetence which at least partially overcomes the drawback presented above.
- one objective of the invention is to supply an automated system that is of low cost, and whose performance levels are better in terms of quality and reliability.
- Another objective of the invention is to provide a system which would diversify the types of measurements.
- the proposal is for an automated system for measuring the appetence of animals, including a feeding area and an accommodation area, wherein the feeding area includes a room whose dimensions are chosen so that the animal is able to move therein, and where the system also includes access control resources that are designed so that the animals can gain access in turn to the room from the accommodation area.
- control resources include an airlock which is designed so that only one animal at a time can enter it; the airlock is a tunnel; - the control resources include resources capable of identifying the animals and detecting their entry into and exit from the space; the control resources include communicating identity tags designed for each of the animals; - the room includes an entry door and a separate exit door; the system includes presentation resources for one or more types of product to be compared from the appetence viewpoint, and these presentation resources are arranged in the room so that an animal is able to bypass them; in the room, the system includes a support mounted to rotate and designed to support the presentation resources; - the support includes drive resources to rotate it; the system includes resources for weighing one or more types of product when these have been placed in the presentation resources. Description of the figures
- figure 1 illustrates a prior art system, seen in plan from above;
- figure 2 also mentioned above, illustrated the manner in which a cat gains access to its receptacles in the feeding space assigned to it (view in perspective approximately from the front);
- figure 3 illustrated a plan view from above of a system of the invention in accordance with a preferred method of implementation;
- figure 4 shows a view in perspective of the airlock and of the space in which the cats feed;
- figure 5 shows an example of the dimensions of a system according to the invention.
- a system in accordance with a preferred method of implementation of the invention conventionally includes an accommodation area 1 and a feeding area 2.
- the accommodation area has sufficient space to accommodate ten cats, for example.
- the feeding area 2 includes a room 3 in which one or more products to be tested have been placed.
- Space 3 is dimensioned so that the body of a cat can be accommodated totally.
- the room is sufficiently large to allow a cat to move in it.
- the ability to move in room 3 gives the cat a feeling that is reasonably similar to that of a cat living with its owner.
- the system of the invention has little or no influence on the behaviour of the cat when it wishes to eat or drink.
- the receptacles are installed on supports
- the supports can both be inclined and turned to different angles.
- each support is motor-driven and adjustable remotely, in four 45° sectors about a vertical axis.
- Such a support therefore allows the positioning of the products to be changed within the room, and the conditions associated with the visual references of the cats to be controlled.
- the supports are mounted on weighing resources, typically table-type electronic balances.
- room 3 preferably includes an entry door 11 and a exit door 10. It will be seen that these two separate doors contribute to the filtration of the entries and exits of the cats in relation to this space.
- trapdoor 10 is arranged mechanically as an exit door from space 3 only, while trapdoor 11 is arranged as the entry door.
- the system includes other filtration resources, or other means for controlling the movement of animals in relation to the space.
- each cat has an electronic wireless identity label, in RFID technology for example (Radio
- Frequency Identification capable of exchanging information with transceivers installed at each door in particular . It should be noted here that the identity label can be inserted into a collar worn by the cat.
- this airlock has the function of guaranteeing that the cats enter into the space one at a time, that is turn and turn about.
- the airlock has a trapdoor at each end, one being the aforementioned trapdoor 11, and the other 12 providing access into the airlock from the accommodation area .
- trapdoor 12 is controlled electronically, in particular by locking and unlocking. Apart from this, trapdoor 12 is also arranged mechanically so that it allows only entry into the airlock, and not exit from it.
- the said airlock can advantageously take the form of a tunnel which is closed at the top and sides .
- Certain parts making up these trapdoors are preferably made of metal or metal alloys.
- the system also includes detectors 32, 31, 30, typically fitted with antennae, which are associated respectively with trapdoors 10, 11, and 12.
- the detectors are arranged at the trapdoors so as to minimise the interference between them, and to optimise detection of the electronic labels during the passage of the cats. Note that the positions of the detectors as illustrated in figures 4 and 5 are provided only by way of non-limiting examples.
- the system of the invention also includes data processing resources, typically a computer running an application, in order to determine the appetence measurements from data supplied in particular by the weighing resources.
- data processing resources typically a computer running an application
- these resources can thus automatically generate a consumption pattern, and as will be seen, they can even determine an appetence measurement on the basis of information that is even richer than merely the quantities of products consumed.
- the computer collects data which come not only from the weighing resources, but also from other sensors which enrich the information on the basis of which the appetence of the cats is measured.
- the computer can receive video data coming from one or more cameras placed in space 3. Shown in figures 4 and 5, by way of a non-limiting example, is a camera 35 installed in the ceiling of space 3.
- the computer therefore has a view from above.
- the video system allows account to be taken of the behaviour mentioned above in particular, in the measurement of appetence (hesitation to choose, continuous eating, etc. ) .
- the system therefore allows the complete ethogram of a meal to be obtained.
- the ethogram is defined as the assessment of different behaviours, to which a frequency of occurrence is associated in a stated context.
- the analysis of the ethogram allows to establish the degree of signification of each identified behaviour among the panel.
- the same computer also exchanges data with the detectors at the trapdoors.
- This data concerns, in particular, the identity number of a cat that has just passed through a trapdoor, this number having been supplied by the electronic label communicating with the detector in question.
- the computer and its application also contribute to the control and filtration of the entries into room 3.
- they can manage remote control of the rotation of the receptacle supports about the vertical axis.
- Figure 5 shows a detailed example of space 3 and of the airlock 6.
- this figure shows the dimensions of these elements that the applicant considers being particularly appropriate.
- the trapdoors 10, 11 and 12 can be raised by a few tens of centimetres in relation to the floor in order to facilitate the detection of labels, the passage of the cats, and the closure of these trapdoors .
- This plane is located in front of the raised trapdoor 11, and meets the floor at one edge and trapdoor 11 at the opposite edge.
- the cat-flaps are locked by default.
- a cat positions itself close to the entry trapdoor 12 of the airlock. Data emitted by its electronic label is received by the reception resources associated with the said trapdoor
- the programme is able to verify that no cat is located in feeding area 2, and in this event, commands the unlocking of trapdoor 12.
- the cat By presenting itself at the unlocked trapdoor 12, the cat activates the associated detector, and this triggers the opening of this trapdoor. If the cat reverses, it interrupts its action on the detector so that trapdoor 12 closes again.
- trapdoor 12 receives the identity data of the cat by means of its label.
- the cat operates the detector associated with trapdoor 11, and so the latter opens and provides access to room 3, and in particular to the feeding receptacles.
- This recording process is then used to establish a link between the cat in question and the data that concern it, and which are used for the measurement of appetence.
- this recording process facilitates access management in relation to room 3.
- the computer and its programme observe that the cat is in room 3, they deny access to the other cats until the said cat has left again (necessarily via trapdoor 10) .
- the behaviour of the cat is analysed by means of the above-mentioned sensors present in room 3, and in particular by means of the balances and the video camera.
- the observation data are recorded, typically on a data storage hard disk in the computer.
- the cat After it has eaten, the cat positions itself in front of the exit trapdoor 10. After identification, the computer unlocks this trapdoor, the cat activates the associated detector, the door opens, the cat leaves, and the trapdoor closes again.
- the exit of the cat is recorded in the computer .
- the computer unlocks trapdoor 11 for a predetermined a period of time (preferably 10 seconds), so that if a cat should happen to still be in the airlock (the particular case in which two cats have entered after each other into the airlock) , then this cat will be able to enter into the space in its turn.
- the computer determines whether there is still a cat in the space. If not, the latter is again considered to be accessible to a cat.
- trapdoor 12 can be unlocked when cat positions itself in front of it. In the latter case, the airlock remains locked until the computer determines that there is no longer any cat in space 3.
- the feeding area is located within the accommodation area, but the 1 professional will understand that the invention is not limited in any way to such a configuration of the spaces.
- the feeding area can be located alongside the accommodation area in the event that they are separated.
- room 3 can have more than one exit trapdoor of the trapdoor 10 type (such as two trapdoors arranged in opposite walls of room 3, for example) .
- system of the invention will provide a saving of space in relation to the systems of previous design, it is easily possible to create a collection of several systems in accordance with the invention. Such a collection of systems can be used advantageously to acquire a range of appetence measurements much more diversified.
- system of the invention is not limited to appetence measurement for cats.
