Animal husbandry in the cloud era Fujitsu's data on cattle breeding

If you love sports, you may be able to record the amount of exercise in a pedometer. South Korea's ranchers are also in love with pedometer, but they are not love sports, but they are brought to the cow, to detect whether the cow is in estrus. It's a big deal for ranchers to determine exactly when cows are in heat.

It's a big deal for ranchers to determine exactly when cows are in heat. The most direct asset of a rancher is the number of cows, so how much pregnant cows can conceive and give birth to calves, directly related to the farmers ' revenue, is also the key to their business survival.

Fujitsu plays Cloud Husbandry

Kim, South Korea's capital Road holding Chuan City Han Yu Pasture president introduced, the Korean domestic cattle breeding average time for 14 months, if the cost of accounting related costs, feeding 100 cows of the scale of the pasture will be unable to avoid losses. In December, 1 will yield more than 20 million won (about 111300 yuan) a year.

The 12-month-old is the ideal condition for ranchers, with cows having a gestation period of 285 days, and after childbirth, the cows need to recuperate for 30 days before they are pregnant again. In other words, the cows fail to fertilize for the next 50 days, and the delivery interval is more than 365 days, failing to achieve the desired goal.

The estrus cycle of cows is 21 days, in which the gestation time does not exceed 16 hours. If you miss this time period, you have to wait 21 days later. In the absence of pregnancy, the cost of ranchers raising cows is tantamount to no return, as every one months of pregnancy-free cows are expensive. How to improve the whole cycle of cow delivery becomes an important index to measure pasture operation.

It is no longer a novelty to detect whether cows are in estrus by pedometer, which is a result of a study of the variation in estrus activity of cows, proposed by three doctoral students at the University of North Wales in the early 90. The study found that cows usually exercise 3~5 kilometers a day, but the amount of exercise in estrus increases to more than 10-kilometer.

At Han Cheong Ranch, the hourly rate of each cow is transmitted to the South Korean Fujitsu SaaS Center for Analysis and processing, and the results are transmitted to the ranch administrator via computers and mobile phones.

5 years ago, Fujitsu used the cow-step system in 1050 pasture and livestock centers in Japan, and accumulated a great deal of data and experience, successfully controlling the average pregnancy interval of the relevant partners for 47 days, and achieving the desired target of 12-month production.

The cow's gestation time is less than 16 hours, and Fujitsu's cow-step system captures the signal 7 hours before it can be pregnant and notifies the ranch administrator. After receiving the information, the rancher determines the position of the cow and observes it, and prepares the cow for artificial insemination in advance.

South Korea's Fujitsu, which began last August to introduce a cattle-step system to two pastures in the country's road and a pasture in the north of the north, has been measured for about half a year, and the cow-step system can help South Korean ranchers save 260,000 won (about 1447 yuan) per year for management fees. For 50 pregnant cows, the average savings of 13 million won (about 72,400 yuan) per year.

Data mining improves operations

Interestingly, after accumulating enough data and accumulating analysis, Fujitsu found that the birth rate of the calf was higher in the first 8 hours of the 16-hour gestation period, and then 8 hours for the calf. The cow-step system will also provide the best fertilization time for ranchers to help raise the fertility of a calf with the required sex.

With the accumulation and improvement of the data, the cow-step system has been fully evolved, not only to find cows in estrus, but also to find cows that are not in estrus for long periods of time, and even whether cows are fake pregnancies, miscarriages, and illnesses.

With all the data being transmitted to Fujitsu's data center, the perfect record allows each cow step detector to correspond to the cow. It is also convenient for ranchers to understand the origin of estrus cows, so as to avoid the use and estrus of cows close to the blood of frozen semen, resulting in the production of calves due to inbreeding degradation problems.

After a continuous evolution, Fujitsu's cow-step system has evolved into a system of life cycle health management for dairy cattle, from a service that helps ranchers improve the fertility of cows.

Thanks to this function, South Korea's Fujitsu has planned to expand its career in South Korea by Han Nu (pure Korean domestic breed), dairy industry distributing center.

Cloud services Change Animal husbandry

Fujitsu's cattle-step system has changed not only the birth rate of calves, but its impact on animal husbandry has emerged.

In traditional management mode, in order to observe the symptoms of bovine estrus, even if the 24-hour intermittent observation of the rotation, the effect is not ideal, especially the cow estrus usually appear late at night. This is also leading to the domestic use of the cattle step system, the average estrus detection rate is only 58% of the main reason.

With the introduction of the cow-step system, apart from reducing human demand, there are three of the most direct changes in rangeland management.

"To build a comfortable and safe network of social contributions to provide human beings with colorful, full of dreams of the future." "Is Fujitsu's corporate DNA. The cow-step system is the embodiment of such a DNA, which not only provides a new way of running the animal husbandry, but also helps to reduce the impact of animal husbandry on the environment and helps people to acquire animal husbandry products in a more rational way.
