Abstract:

With the deep integration of new-generation information technologies such as artificial intelligence into animal husbandry, beef cattle farming is undergoing a transformation toward green, healthy, and smart practices. From the perspective of integrating operational and informational flows, this paper constructs a comprehensive framework for smart beef cattle farming along the process of “dynamic sensing - precise control - intelligent decision-making - feedback application.” The framework comprises four core modules: dynamic sensing and monitoring, intelligent control and operations, smart analysis and decision-making, and innovative integration and demonstration. It aims to establish a farming system driven by data, supported by integrated technologies, enabled by intelligent equipment, and guided by industry applications. Four key technologies essential for implementation are analyzed: intelligent sensing and health monitoring, precision feeding and biosecurity control technology, and smart decision systems. Their concepts, recent advancements, and application values are summarized. Finally, future development directions are explored in terms of theoretical enhancement, technological iteration, scenario adaptability, and industrial ecosystem coordination, providing theoretical and practical references for the high-quality and modern transformation of animal husbandry.

Key words: beef cattle farming, smart animal husbandry, intelligent decision-making, industrial upgrading
