Abstract:

China is a major pig breeding country worldwide. Creating a digital control platform for intelligent pig farms is inevitably needed for the development of large-scale pig farms and is of great significance for promoting the transformation, upgrading, and healthy development of China’s pig industry. However, the low levels of digitalization, intelligence, and related technology seen in Chinese pig farms today severely limit their ability to expand further in the face of an outbreak of African swine fever and a food scarcity. Therefore, the use of modern information technology to construct an intelligent pig farm digital management and control platform will play a positive role in addressing the issues that Chinese pig farms face, such as environmental pressure, resource constraints, breeding losses, and other practical problems. Thus, it will promote the development of China’s pig industry. In this study, we created an intelligent pig farm digital control platform, system integration Internet of Things artificial intelligence, and other modern information technology to build a pig multi-dimensional early warning system, intelligent management system, and production management decision system. This platform can ensure the safety of farm biosecurity and assets, record the whole production cycle of pigs from birth to market, refine production, and promote management visualization decision-making to achieve intelligent pig breeding and effectively improve pig farming income. This study also revealed that various aspects of this intelligent pig farm digital control platform required further improvement to enhance pig farm management in China, such as developing intelligent precise feeding, health status sensing, and big data analysis systems.
