1. What Is Smart Livestock?
Smart livestock refers to the use of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, large artificial intelligence modern information technology means of animal husbandry production, over a variety of collection, transmission, processing, and distribution, in order to achieve intelligent animal husbandry production, information, and management.
The goal of Smart livestock is to improve livestock production efficiency, reduce production costs, improve product quality and safety, and achieve sustainable development.
2. The Development History of Smart livestock
The development history of smart livestock can be divided into three stages.
The first stage is the data collection and transmission stage, if through sensors, RFID and other technical means of livestock and poultry growth, feeding, disease and other data collection and transmission.
The second stage is the data processing and analysis section, mainly through cloud computing, big data and other technical means to process and analyse the collected data to extract useful information.
The third stage is the intelligent decision-making and control stage, mainly through artificial intelligence and other technical segments to analyse and predict the data, real intelligence and control.
3. Technology application of smart livestock
Smart livestock technology should mainly include the following aspects.
The first is intelligent feeding technology through the livestock and poultry feed, water, eating habits and other data analysis and prediction, to achieve accurate feeding.
The second is capable of disease prediction technology, through the growth of livestock and poultry, body temperature, respiration and other data to analyse and predict, to achieve early pre and prevention of disease.
The third is intelligent environment control technology, through the livestock and poultry temperature, humidity, oxygen content and other data analysis and control to achieve livestock and poultry comfort and production environment optimisation.
4. Advantages of smart livestock
The advantages of smart livestock are mainly in the following aspects now.
The first is to improve the production efficiency, through accurate feeding, disease prediction and environmental control and other technical means, to achieve a high rate of livestock production and high yield.
The first is to reduce the production cost, through accurate feeding, disease prediction and environmental control and other technical means, to achieve low cost and high efficiency of animal husbandry production.
The second is to improve the quality and safety of products, through disease prediction and environmental control and other technical means, to achieve the quality and safety of livestock products.
5. The Future Development
The future development of smart livestock is mainly in the following aspects.
The first is technological innovation, with the Internet of Things, cloud computing, big data, artificial intelligence and other technologies continue to develop, smart livestock technology means will continue to innovate and improve.
The second is with the expansion, with the continuous maturity and application of intelligent animal husbandry technology, the scope of its application will continue to expand, including livestock and poultry breeding, processing of livestock and poultry products, and livestock and poultry products sales aspects.
Third, the industry upgrade, with the continuous application and promotion of smart livestock technology, the livestock industry will gradually realize from the traditional labour-intensive, resource-consuming to energy, information technology, green industry upgrade.
To sum up the above, smart livestock is a new type of management mode of livestock production, which uses the generation of information technology means to collect, transmit, process and analyse all kinds of data in the process of animal husbandry, in order to achieve the intelligence, informatization and refinement of animal husbandry production.
The development course of smart livestock can be divided into data collection and transmission stage, data processing and sub-stage, intelligent decision-making and control stage. The main technical applications of it include intelligent feeding technology, intelligent disease prediction technology, and intelligent environmental control technology.
The advantages of smart livestock are mainly now to improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, and improve product quality and safety. The future development of it will continue to innovate and improve the technology segment, expand the scope of application, and achieve industry upgrading.
