FARMPRO PROVIDES HEALTH CARE SOLUTIONS for LIVESTOCK USING IOT TECHNOLOGY
The livestock industry has been transformed from a small-scale cattle-growing environment such as utilizing work cattle or raising meat and milk cattle to an enterprise-class livestock industry with automated facilities. While the number of cattle farmers has decreased, due to increased consumption of meat, milk and dairy products, the number of cattle raised has increased significantly. About 1.5 billion cows are being raised worldwide, and about 3.5 million cows in Korea. Many of them are bred on a large scale in large areas such as India, Brazil, the United States, and Argentina. But species such as dairy cow breeds which have to be milked every day and Korean native cattle for which quality is considered important are managed in dense cattle sheds and are bred through artificial insemination.
As the livestock industry turns into an enterprise industry, the number of cattle to be managed by farmers has increased dramatically, also increasing the importance of experiencing livestock, such as cattle health conditions and estrus/delivery signs. Environmental management, feed/water supply, and cleaning of barns can be automated using automated facilities or agricultural machinery, but it is difficult to automate the identification of cattle conditions. In particular, as the cattle density inside the barn increases, it becomes difficult to manage the disease of the cattle, and if the disease cannot be checked on time, it is easily transmitted to other livestock in the barn, sometimes being exposed to the danger of slaughtering the entire farm. Farmpro’s livestock health care solution using IoT technology is here for solving these problems. The IoT solution of Farmpro is a solution that measures and analyzes the temperature and movement of cattles in real-time and provides key information such as the health condition of each cattles, symptoms of estrus and delivery, etc to farm owners as a smartphone notification function. Farm owners don’t have to walk around the barn to check the status of each livestock with their eyes anymore because smartphone apps can easily check the status of their livestock.
The smart artificial insemination solution that Farmpro provides can help significantly improve the fertilization rate when performing artificial insemination of livestock.
