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.

The present invention provides a method of SNP detection by using gene detection in bead-based microfluidics comprising following steps: (a) preparing a microbead with a duplex DNA; (b) inserting a dye into the duplex DNA; (c) delivering the microbead into a microchannel with a temperature gradient region; (d) heating the temperature gradient region to denature the duplex DNA; (e) monitoring a fluorescence intensity of the duplex DNA during the step (d) to obtain a melting curve; and (f) determining the SNP by a melting curve analysis method; wherein the duplex DNA is synthesized by a target single-strand DNA and an allele-specific probe. Furthermore, the present invention offers a temperature gradient region to enhance the measurement accuracy. The continuous-flow mechanism in this region is validated and optimized.
