자돈의 행동에 미치는 열환경 분석 = Analysis of Heat Environment in Nursery Pig Behavior

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study was conducted to find ways to control environment with the difference between body temperature and background temperature based on swine activity, and to apply to the environment control system of swine barns based on the findings. Following are the results. 1. Swine activity related to background temperature was achieved as color images and swine activity status was categorized into cold, comfortable, and hot periods with visualization system (thermal image system). 2. Thermal image system consisted of an infrared CCD camera, an image processing board - DIF (TH3100), an main computer (400Hz, 128M, 586 Pentium model) with C++ program installed. 3. Thermal image system categorizing temperatures into cold, comfortable, and hot was applicable to the environment control system of swine barns 4. Feed intake was higher in cold temperature, and finishing weight and weight gain per day in cold temperature were lower than others (p<0.05).

본 연구는 돼지의 체온 발산에 따른 행동에 근거하여 환경을 제어할 때 몸체에서 발산되는 체열과 환경의 온도차이를 이용하여 환경을 제어할 수 있는 방법을 모색하고자 하였으며, 열환경에서 얻어진 자료를 바탕으로 축사의 환경제어 시스템에 접목하고자 실시하였다. 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. 환경온도에 따른 돼지의 행동을 칼라영상을 통하여 획득한 후 가시화 시스템 (열화상 프로그램)을 통한 행동상태를 고온, 적온, 저온기로 분류하였다. 2. 영상처리 시스템의 하드웨어를 적외선 CCD 카메라, 영상처리 보드DIF(TH3100) 모델과 컴퓨터는 400Hz, 128M, 586 Pentium로 구성되었으며, 프로그램은 C++ 언어로 작성되었다. 3. 영상처리시스템을 온도에 따라 분류했던 결과 저온, 적온, 고온으로 분류되어 돈사내 환경제어 시스템에 응용이 가능할 것으로 판단되었다. 4. 사료섭취량은 저온구가 다른 환경온도에 비하여 사료를 많이 섭취하였던 반면에 종료체중과 일당증체량에서는 낮게 나타났다 (p<0.05).
