Global advancements and innovations in livestock management
Livestock management plays the role of a catalyst in the dairy products supply. It is undergoing a significant transformation and is oozing out best practices in the field of cattle management. Such practices are revolutionary protect animals from horrendous uncalled diseases and are a stepping stone towards animal welfare. Let’s have a look at the latest trends and innovations in cattle management, one by one.
1. Hands-free Monitoring
In order to get rid of the constant monitoring that consumes a lot of time and energy, there are many start-ups that are coming up with the idea of hands-free monitoring. Such autonomous livestock monitoring devices collect data from security cameras and bring them to your dashboard for you to monitor. Through such innovations, you can take the right actions of monitoring, detect the early signs of certain diseases, and improve the livestock welfare by observing the patterns amongst the herd.
3. AI
With Artificial Intelligence, you can get better insights of the behaviour of your livestock and observe their patterns in an efficient manner. The digital twins powered by AI can build energy-efficient housing structures. You can even understand the sounds made by these animals and identify their behaviour or the issue. Such technological advancements create a bunch of opportunities for you to strive upon.
4. Blockchain
With a large amount of data storage, you can easily trace all the farm-related activities in one go. Blockchain-based solutions monitor the entire lifecycle of products and animals, thereby enhancing feed safety and enhancing animal welfare. The supply-chain visibility can also be tracked with the help of Distributed Ledger Technology. You can even make records for daily body measurements, medicine intakes, supplement intake, and others.
5. Drone
Huge livestock can be managed through this tool since otherwise it becomes a time-consuming task which becomes difficult to manage. The thermal imaging sensors track livestock movement, monitor sheep, and cattle, and helps in finding them. By delivering real-time data, it facilitates precision agriculture. Additionally, livestock theft is a major concern for farmers, which is addressed through the use of connected sensors and unmanned aerial vehicles. This saves time and eliminates the need for frequent visits to the farm, as well as providing farmers with a large amount of data to effectively manage their livestock. Thus you can keep a real-time track of your cattle and monitor them.
Conclusion:
Modern-day technology speaks volumes of the advancement that this industry is going through. Adapting to these innovations will help you in reducing the time of performing one task, hereby, improving your efficiency.
