Yanggu County to test AI system for managing cattle breeding
Yanggu County in South Korea plans to test a smart system for cattle breeding this year.
The project will use internet-connected sensors and artificial intelligence to manage information about heat, pregnancy and calving.
About 300 breeding cattle will be included, with a collar sensor for each animal and 15 receiving antennas installed.
The system will combine activity and behavior data with records such as artificial insemination and pregnancy test results.
Farmers will receive mobile alerts about important signs, including heat or approaching calving, and will get training and technical support.
The project has a budget of 750 million won and is expected to reduce farmers’ workload and improve breeding efficiency.
Yanggu County in South Korea will run a pilot project using information and communications technology and artificial intelligence to manage Hanwoo cattle breeding.
