Zhejiang Jinhua Dayanhe Farm

More Data applications

When the author approached the Dayanhe farm in Jinhua, Zhejiang, a few of the trees in the farm house, indeed some wonder: this pig farm not only without the sound of pigs, even the common smell of the farm is very difficult to smell, white walls green tiles, trees, like a small entrepreneurial park.

About 500 square meters of intelligent pig barns are separated into different bays, divided into living rooms, restaurants, toilets, entertainment areas, isolation and other functional areas. Such a smart pigsty changed the traditional "positioning bar" or "Limit Bar" mode, but also in line with the natural habits of pigs "animal welfare." In the center of the Intelligent Pig House, a series of cigarette size monitoring probes, monitoring the temperature, humidity, air composition.

It is not difficult to be clean and tidy, but it is not easy to keep the air fresh inside the pigsty. "It's not about feeling, it's about talking with data." Jin Xin pulled out his cell phone, said, pig farm intelligent fattening pig herd system mainly has two subsystems, one is the pig environment regulation system, there are environmental monitors, the data to the control system of the computer, after analysis, then the data to his mobile phone. Jin Xin said, once there are indicators of abnormal, the system will mobilize the fans and curtain, etc., to adjust.

It is the most manpower-intensive work to clean the pig house, while the dayanhe of the high bed and the bubble dung process do not need manual cleaning. The whole leaking feces facility is like installing a flush toilet under each pig barn, reaching a certain amount of automatic line to the specialized equipment, making biogas, biogas liquid and so on convenient recycle, the Pig House will not have excrement residue.

More resistant to price fluctuations

Before the pig need a worker to feed the past, artificial consumption, feed also has waste, and now they through the full flow of the conveyor belt, to achieve automatic, regular, quantitative feeding. In the past, a 500 pig pigsty needed more than 10 workers, and now all these things, two or three people can be done.

Moreover, unlike ordinary pigs eating "pot", every pig here eats a "private order". Each pig house has a feeding room, allowing only the appropriate pigs to enter the food. "This is particularly important for sows," Jin Xin said, distributing daily food according to the information recorded by Sow's ears, and automatically issuing alarms when a vaccine, disease, or waiting condition is needed.

The accurate management of live pigs is not only a diet so simple, dayanhe according to each pig ear label recorded in the amount of food, weight and other information, accurate calculation of how much meat per pig feed long how much flesh. Ranch-raised pigs usually weigh between 110 kg and 140 kg. Jin Xin said, this weight range of material meat than more reasonable, will not lose money, and long 30 kilograms of meat generally to 20 days, that is, more than other pig farmers more than one months of flexible time, so to fight the price fluctuation ability is stronger.

Greater research and development input

Jin Xin said, however, he wants to do this system, not only in the monitoring environment, data collection, analysis of the flow of data, but in the satisfaction of pigs like life and demand based on the corresponding data, and then the best response to the data.

"For example, consumers usually want to eat more lean pork, which is in fact consistent with our approach." "Jin Xin said, pig long fat consumption of more fodder, usually long a pound of fat consumption energy is 2.7 times times, so the meat than the higher the worse." "When the meat than a certain proportion, we definitely want to go to the slaughter, to ensure that the proportion of lean meat is the best." ”

Jin Xin said: "We invite professional companies for the pasture to build the cloud platform technology, with live pig production of the real data indicators to guide production, the cost can be controlled." I can even do three nutrition packages in the same lap of pigs. "Now, Jin Xin's ranch is about 5000 pigs a year," he said. He plans after 15,000 years of slaughter, "and so this year to do every pig fine testing, we will build their own brand, with the brand to achieve efficiency." "Jin Xin said.
