METHOD FOR EVALUATING OF ANIMAL'S COMFORTABLE KEEPING CONDITIONS Russian patent published in 2008 - IPC A01K1/00 

FIELD: agriculture, in particular, animal farming.

SUBSTANCE: method involves detecting state of heat-emitting objects by their images; generating thermal images of object under investigation on screen of video controlling device; visual analysis of said images by operator and selecting information content zones; determining radiation temperature of animal's open zones such as eyes, nose; detecting dependence of animal's body radiation temperature upon surrounding temperature; generating thermal image of object under investigation on screen of video controlling device in the form of thermal vision charts in static or dynamic mode and memorizing said image in sharable database in the form of files; taking-off data on radiation temperature of animal's open zone - ears, and thermal vision charts of temperature of said open zone of animal's body with different animal's keeping patterns - individual or group keeping in houses; also taking-off air thermal vision charts of animal surrounding air temperature and thermal vision charts of temperature of used processing equipment: animal watering means and guarding structures; comparing temperature of open animal's body zones under investigation to different animal keeping conditions in houses with different process patterns; detecting temperature differences of calf's body open zones in different zones of house with selected keeping pattern; modeling keeping conditions: replacing guarding structures having higher heat conductance by guarding structures having lower heat conductance; when temperature within animal's body deviates from normal temperature by at least 1 C, changing location of animal depending on presence of "cold" zones within used animal house until normal animal's body temperature is recovered.

EFFECT: increased productivity and improved resistance of animal's organism.
