Digital transformation in beef cattle breeding: the experience of creating a smart farm "Petal"
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The relevance of the topic is determined by the significance of digital technologies in beef cattle breeding, which allow increasing the profitability of the agro-industrial complex through cost optimization and more efficient allocation of funds. The competitiveness of enterprises of the agrarian sector directly depends on the use of the results of innovation activity, which allows to increase the value by increasing labor productivity. The article presents different points of view of researchers on the problems in the agrarian sector of the Republic of Kazakhstan. One of them - intensification of labor process is recommended to solve by modernization of agricultural production and application of high-tech smart system "RETAL". The aim is to determine the financial feasibility of its implementation, which is based on the complexes of "smart" pasture technologies. Research methods are based on the system analysis of works of domestic and foreign scientists, familiarization with analytical reviews of research institutes and centers, materials of scientific and practical conferences on the studied issues, data of expert survey of farm workers. Results - a unified approach combining goals and objectives of livestock and pasture management was analyzed. Conclusions - in conclusion, the authors note that the use of electric fencing minimizes the labor of workers, reduces wage costs, as well as costs associated with the duties of shepherds, significantly simplifies the implementation of preventive measures for the maintenance of livestock on grazing lands. Of practical importance is the use of a methodology for calculating the value equivalent of benefits and their comparison. The advantage of smart-farm is a complex solution combining the principles of cattle herd regulation and grazing on pasture lands in a single technological cycle. This is a new concept to increase the volume and improve the quality of production and is an ideal environment for robotics.
