Abstract: A feeding analysis system of milk-production livestock includes a plurality of image analysis devices and a central server signally connected to each image analysis device. Each image analysis device is configured to capture a plurality of images of a feeding field, perform a clear processing on the images, identify a plurality of facial images of the plurality of milk-production livestock for feeding action from the cleared images and generate a plurality of capturing signals by capturing the plurality of facial images and a feeding duration corresponding to the facial images, and transmit the capturing signals to the central server. The central server is configured to receive the capturing signals, identify the milk-production livestock identities of the facial images of the corresponding capturing signal and generate a feeding record by integrating the identified milk-production livestock identity and the feeding duration of the capturing signal.

Abstract: A dairy cowshed monitoring system includes a cooling system having a plurality of operating modes, at least one image sensor, at least one temperature/humidity sensor, and a control circuit. The image sensor is for collecting image data in a dairy cowshed and obtaining a cow drinking water frequency in the dairy cowshed. The temperature/humidity sensor is for collecting a temperature and a humidity in the dairy cowshed and calculating a temperature/humidity index according to the temperature and the humidity. The control circuit is coupled to the cooling system, the image sensor and the temperature/humidity sensor and for receiving the image data, the cow drinking water frequency and the temperature/humidity index and determining whether to activate and control the cooling system in one of the operating modes to cool the dairy cowshed according to the cow drinking water frequency and the temperature/humidity index.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel promoter and its use in driving expression of foreign genes in transgenic animals (especially pigs). Accordingly, the present invention provides a method for producing transgenic animals harboring heterologous genes regulated by the promoter of the present invention.

Abstract: The present invention provides a highly specific anti-Caveolin-1 polyclonal antibody, which is prepared by the following steps: (1) providing an antigen comprising a fragment of Caveolin-1 peptide sequence SEQ ID NO: 1; and (2) subcutaneously injecting said antigen into a rabbit to produce the anti-Caveolin-1 polyclonal antibody. The present invention also provides an antigen and a method used for preparing the anti-Caveolin-1 polyclonal antibody, and a kit used for detecting Caveolin-1 in a specimen.
