Modern ICT in Animal Farming Benefits

Modern ICT technologies can provide numerous benefits to animal farming operations. These include improved animal welfare and working conditions through continuous health monitoring using sensor networks. Feeding can be automated through programs that optimize rations based on factors like weight and lactation. Barn environment control uses sensors to monitor temperature, humidity, and radiation to optimize efficiency. Electronic identification like RFID links unique identifiers to animal database records. Overall, these technologies aim to improve production efficiency and profitability through monitoring, automation, and data-driven management.

application of modern ict (information and

communication technology) into agriculture


(animal farming)
Current technology applications
and benefits

The benefits of new technology are plentiful, improved animal welfare,


improved working conditions, better production monitoring and improved
provision of important production data. The new technology means producers
can work easier and improve welfare, production efficiency, and profitability.
Technologic developments provide more efficient, profitable and fast solutions
for farmers to get on time process using management and direct manipulation
possibilities. Continuous monitoring of disease, and its careful management is
essential for the well-being of an animal management.
Feeding automation

Computer programmer designed many software for make best option for
farmer to ration preparation. Optimal feeding programs can be done for
advanced options such as live weight, racing, lactation period and animal
feed stock information. They will comprise complete systems include each
stage of feeding, feed preparation, mixing equipment and the distributing
feed. Feed components such as grass and corn silage as well as mineral feed
and feed concentrate will be loaded, mixed and delivered to the feed table
built up there by the systems. The Automation systems as simple consists of
a control panel, a programmable command manager, a scale, a
communication interface and finally all the needed equipment to organize
the feeding process and feed provision to the animal of each age groups.
Computer-controlled.
Health observation

Many firms provided programs developed and provided by data collection and
analysis products for monitoring animal behavior for the best early detection
system. To monitor the health conditions of each cow using sensors:
1. the sensors are mounted on the cow. Sensor networks consist of several tiny,
low price devices and are logically self-organizing ad hoc systems.
2. The role of the sensor network is monitoring the health parameters of animals,
gather and convey the informations.
3. Sensors that collect data such as temperature, pH, etc., receive a lot of data, so it
is possible to transmit data at intervals.
Reproductive performances

As a result of technical progress in monitoring cows using computers, automatic


oestrus detection has become possible. In many studies, different traits have been
analyzed for utilization in automatic oestrus detection. The electronic systems are
an electronic device that detects cows that stand to be mounted by a herd mate
and provides a continuous monitoring of activity,radiotelemetry is a computerized
estrus detection devices. Also patches give another possibilities using mounting
activity of cows. a cow mount another cow then he transmitter is depressed and a
signal sent to a receiver. During this time, date, time and duration of the mount
stored and send to the main computer. On computer all these data evaluated and
prepared for final decision.
 Barn environment control

Animal production starts at environment which is lived in, When ambient


temperature gets warmer than 25°C cow begins use their energies to cool
themselves down rather than to produce milk. Latest technologies aim to
provide adequate data for producers and farmers to optimize the
efficiency of their agricultural system, thus increasing the overall
performance of the animals. Modern technology also helps to control barn
environment which is many sensor installations to measure factors such as
temperature, humidity, solar radiation
Electronic identification

There are numerous animal ID technologies available to livestock


producers. Radio frequency identification (RFID) will likely be used to
identify cattle. These devices have an electronic number that will be
unique for an individual animal and link that animal to the
databaseThese systems work using radio frequency for sending data.
