With the development of artificial intelligence technology characterized by network, intelligence and information, the traditional pig breeding technology has been unable to meet the demand of China's pig market, and the large-scale, intensive and intelligent pig breeding mode has gradually become the mainstream direction. In view of the development and trend of intelligent pig breeding in our country in the new era, professional experts at the World Swine Industry Expo analyzed the development status quo of intelligent pig breeding technology from two aspects of intelligent equipment and intelligent management to provide ideas and reference.

The current development status of intelligent pig raising equipment

Intelligent venue design

Intelligent pig house is a large-scale pig house designed according to the living habits of pigs combined with intelligent pig breeding technology, with the goal of only individual breeding management personnel or unmanned breeding.

Environmental monitoring and control

Environmental monitoring with a variety of sensors for environmental monitoring, when the environment is abnormal, the use of automation, Internet, artificial intelligence and big data and other technologies for environmental regulation, so that pigs always in a comfortable living environment. Keeping the environment clean and tidy through environmental regulation is not only beneficial to the fattening of pigs, but also can prevent the spread of diseases among pigs.

Intelligent feeding

Intelligent feeding is automated and precise feeding of pigs by analyzing the growth needs of pigs through computer vision, Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and other technologies without supervision.

Harmless manure treatment

Harmless manure treatment is through a series of complex operations such as dry and wet separation, oxidation and fermentation, so that the discharge of manure will not have any harmful impact on the environment. A large amount of manure is bound to be produced in pig breeding. If the manure is not properly treated, it will pollute the surrounding air, soil and water to varying degrees. Therefore, the reasonable treatment of manure is the key to the sustainable development of breeding industry.

Inspection equipment

With artificial intelligence technology as the core and assisted by the Internet of Things and the Internet, the inspection robot replaces human feet to patrol the pig farm and timely gives early warning and treatment to abnormal situations in the pig farm. Inspection robot is the equipment with the most research cost and manufacturing difficulty in intelligent pig breeding technology, and it is also the necessary device for intelligent pig breeding to realize unmanned pig breeding factory.

The current development status of intelligent management technology

Intelligent detection

Intelligent detection mainly collects data through color cameras, infrared cameras, 3D cameras and ear tags, and then uses algorithms to conduct behavior monitoring, body temperature monitoring, body size measurement and weight estimation of pigs. Intelligent detection algorithms are the eyes of the intelligent pig farm and provide important data support for intelligent pig farm analysis.

Intelligent Analysis

After the livestock and poultry information is obtained, the data are cleaned, structured storage, data backup and data analysis are carried out through big data, cloud computing and cloud storage technologies, including body temperature analysis, behavior analysis, exercise amount analysis, weight estimation and backfat analysis.

Intelligent decision making

Intelligent decision-making takes big data technology as the core and combines various technologies such as artificial intelligence, Internet and Internet of Things to timely analyze, judge and act on industries and markets.
