Livestock Farming Has a New Digital Way

 How to grasp the physical condition of each piglet in real time in a pig farm with more than 000 heads? Fish ponds and shrimp ponds should always pay attention to water quality information and various data. How can we free our hands?

Digitalized Livestock Farming

These big and small troubles that once troubled farmers and friends have now been solved one by one with the help of China Unicom's "Digital Village" platform. Now you can control the detailed dynamics of your farm 24/7 at the touch of a finger. The intervention of digital means is promoting the transformation of extensive farming to technology-based and modern smart farming.


Reduce labor costs and make breeding management more efficient

Standing in front of the big screen of the Kefa Farm in Jintang County, Chengdu, one by one moving digital red dots come into view. This is a benchmark demonstration pig farm built by Sichuan Unicom, with a total of 3,000 live pigs per year. The administrator is quickly understanding the basic situation of the pig farm by displaying the numbers, "With the help of the Unicom platform, it really reduces a lot of difficulties for our production management, and we no longer have to chase the piglets running around to count them again and again. "

What should I do if the piglet's physical condition is difficult to detect? The Unicom platform provides functions such as production management, safety and epidemic prevention and control assistance. By deploying cameras and environmental control equipment in pig farms, and using cloud computing, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, blockchain and other technologies to collect, analyze, and apply production data, create a "front-end collection + data analysis + abnormal alarm" planting and breeding The production status monitoring mode realizes multiple functions such as inventory of live pig assets, live pig weight assessment, dead pig weight measurement, event supervision, and abnormal movement alarm. Through the platform, 24-hour monitoring and early warning of the physical condition and living environment of livestock can be realized, which effectively reduces the mortality rate of livestock, saves labor and management costs, and realizes refined and intelligent scientific breeding.

Xinhai Seafood Company in Nanpaihe Town, Huanghua City, Hebei Province has realized the "cloud farming" of white shrimp. During the cultivation period of shrimp fry, the water quality and environment are very important. On the computer screen, data such as water temperature, nitrogen and oxygen content in each workshop are clear at a glance. With the help of the smart aquatic "cloud platform" built by Hebei Unicom, complex aquaculture has "smart eyes".

"We can log in to the background through mobile phones, PADs, and computers to grasp the environmental information of aquaculture water quality in real time, obtain abnormal alarm information and water quality early warning information anytime and anywhere, and adjust the water quality at any time according to the monitoring results, which is more conducive to the growth of white shrimp." According to Xinhai Fisheries Company According to the breeding staff, relying on the smart aquatic platform, the breeding pond covers an area of ​​2,000 acres, and all the information can be seen, and there is no need to inspect the workshops one by one, which greatly saves manpower and provides enterprises with more accurate and reliable data. The smart aquatic product platform also automatically links the oxygenation pump equipment, and automatically increases oxygenation according to the analysis of water environment data, realizing the refined management of data measurement and control.

At present, Hebei Unicom is promoting the integration and docking of the smart aquatic platform and the provincial smart agriculture platform, collecting the aquatic industry data in the county, providing replicable experience value for the application and promotion of Hebei smart aquatic products, and promoting the intelligent development of aquaculture.


Clearing pain points, increasing production and increasing income

Change isn't just happening on farms. In addition to reducing costs and increasing efficiency in management, how to help operations and open up sales channels, China Unicom's "Digital Village" is bringing new scenery.

Affected by the epidemic, when financial institutions are unable to investigate the real operation of the farms on the spot, the loan process may be hindered in the face of risk control pressure. Through Unicom's "Digital Village" platform, business personnel of financial institutions can easily understand the dynamic production management situation with only a mobile phone, conduct comprehensive live asset supervision of farms, and effectively eliminate information barriers between new agricultural business entities and banks , to achieve data integration and visual management, reduce loan payments, and ease the problems of "financing difficulties and expensive financing".

Yangxi County is a demonstration county of digital agriculture in Guangdong Province. Guangdong Unicom has built "one museum, one cloud and two parks" in Yangxi County, including the Chengcun Oyster Digital Industrial Park located in Chengcun Town, "China Oyster Township". Here, the water quality testing equipment operates 24 hours a day, and farmers can grasp data such as water temperature and salinity on their mobile phones, and adjust the oyster farming methods in time according to the water quality. In addition to the innovation of aquaculture technology, Guangdong Unicom also uses digital technology to improve market services and supervision methods, achieve precise connection between production and sales, and help Chengcun oysters improve the quality, efficiency and market competitiveness in an all-round way.

The circulation big data platform developed based on the behavior of suppliers and buyers provides quantitative judgment indicators for the agricultural management department of Yangxi County to understand the market performance, market competitiveness, brand awareness and other information of local dominant varieties, so that the government and producers can understand the latest national Market situation, grasp the first opportunity, create and maintain advantages. In order to ensure the smooth entry of aquatic products onto consumers’ tables, Yangxi County also used digital means to carry out brand promotion, and launched fresh activities such as “VR experience of picking oysters” to restore the conditions of the place of origin and the processes of aquaculture, production, and processing.

With the help of Guangdong Unicom's "Digital Village" platform, the daily life of farmers is also undergoing gratifying changes.

Xiao Guoqing from Liugou Village, Xiliuhe Town, Xiantao, Hubei Province is a well-known local breeder. Now, he has begun to put more energy on his "side business". Early in the morning, Xiao Guoqing opened the "Pond Butler" APP on his mobile phone and entered the start-up interface of the aerator in the No. 1 pool. With a tap, the three aerators in the pond were put into use. Then, he picked up the spatula and started frying the noodles. , started a business of selling breakfast.

In an aquaculture training course, Xiao Guoqing realized that smart farming is more time-saving, cost-effective, and quality controllable than traditional farming. With the mentality of giving it a try, he asked the staff to help with the "Digital Village" Unicom special package. Unicom helped him install a "pond housekeeper", cameras, and broadband in the fish shed, which freed him from traditional farm work and freed up time to run a breakfast business in the town. "There is broadband on the fish pond, and you can swipe your mobile phone to watch videos. This is something that I didn't dare to think about before!" Xiao Guo settled an account. This year's fish farming and early operation are expected to double the family's annual income. Villages” help farmers open up more colorful ways to get rich.
