Efficiency of implementation of Smart Farms: economic assessment

Abstract

The goal is to study the mechanism for increasing the efficiency of production systems when fattening beef cattle. An example of the use of Smart Technology is given to determine and influence the quality of genetic selection of meat animals, which in turn contributes to high average daily gain and increased profitability of farms. The object of research - methods of keeping and feeding cattle, digital technologies and technical means, results of fundamental, theoretical, forecasting and search and applied scientific developments. Methods – comparative analysis, expert assessments, experience in applying promising trends and innovative technology of the Intergado system. Results – it is shown that the use of such nanotechnologies makes it possible, depending on the “key feature,” to automatically generate databases of production processes through which the weight and condition of the livestock is monitored. Based on information about changes in the weight of cattle, timely adjustments are made to the animals’ diet, which helps improve their health and optimize the genetic algorithm. Weighing cattle (BW) is an important tool in herd management since increasing body weight affects productivity, productivity and, as a result, readiness for speedy sale and savings in feed costs. Conclusions – digital solutions have been proposed to improve the effectiveness of regulation of agricultural production with a large flow of information and technological operations; model parameters make it possible to automatically transfer farm animals from one production group to another by tracking the “live weight” indicator for culling.
