In the current background of national promotion of the digital agriculture and smart farming, the breeding intelligent equipment began to develop vigorously. Using intelligent equipment in large-scale farms can improve breeding efficiency and reduce labor costs. At present, the domestic intelligent equipment has not been popularized, the domestic research on intelligent equipment is not sufficient, some of the intelligent equipments are still in the research and development stage, which can not reday for mass-scale production. Taking cattle and sheep breeding as example, the paper 1) summarizes breeding intelligent equipment and equipment function introduction demanded in the various stages of farming, 2) lists some of the current domestic research in the intelligent equipment, 3) introduces the impact of the new-generation technology, such as big data, artificial intelligence, etc. on the breeding intelligent equipment, 4) discusses the significance and existing problems of the domestic current development of breeding intelligent equipment, and 5) analyses the future development of the breeding intelligent equipment under the current background. The breeding intelligent equipment can accelerate the development of China's digital animal husbandry and improve the economic benefits of animal husbandry, which embraces the expansive prospects. Moreover, the breeding intelligent equipment can be used as hardware support for intelligent breeding and precision feeding, laying the foundation for the construction of a new generation of intelligent farm construction.
