AI tech modernizes pig farm operations

At a pig farm in Yancheng, Jiangsu province, a robot equipped with four wheels, cameras, and sensors patrols along the aisle between rows of pig stalls. It collects real-time data including pig behavior, water intake, feed consumption, ambient temperature and humidity, as well as disease-related physical signs.

The data will then be uploaded to a large model platform, where algorithms perform in-depth data analysis. The third stage feeds the results back to front-end devices to deliver closed-loop responses such as precision feeding, anomaly alerts, and environmental regulation. This demonstration illustrates how robots and artificial intelligence tools are being deployed across parts of China to help raise pigs in a bid to boost efficient husbandry.
