中国农业科学院等10家团队以科技赋能草原畜牧业现代化转型 “智慧放牧”不再遥远

Core Viewpoint - The development of grassland animal husbandry in China faces challenges such as improving the efficiency of grass-livestock production and addressing grass-livestock conflicts, necessitating a technological transformation in the industry [1][2]. Group 1: Technological Innovations - The project led by the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences aims to modernize grassland animal husbandry through the integration of various technologies, including satellite information, artificial intelligence, and 5G communication [1]. - Three major technological systems have been established: - A comprehensive sensing system called "Smart Eye," which utilizes satellite remote sensing, drones, and ground sensors to monitor changes in grasslands and livestock movements across one million square kilometers [1]. - An intelligent system that can replace manual herding, featuring innovations such as a livestock health monitoring station and a virtual fencing system that operates 24/7 [1][2]. Group 2: Precision Management - The project emphasizes "smart management" for precise feeding of livestock, matching nutritional needs based on livestock breed, gender, age, and growth stage [2]. - Data and models are integrated into the "Smart Pastoral Cloud Platform," allowing herders to manage their operations remotely via mobile devices, thus facilitating "smart grazing" [2]. - The results of the project have been positively acknowledged by experts during a recent exchange meeting in Inner Mongolia, with plans for large-scale application to support the modernization of China's grassland animal husbandry [2].
