What are the applications of computer in automatic management of cattle farm?

Using computer technology to improve the management level of enterprises has become an indispensable means in today's world digital economy. The application of information technology in cattle farms has long been popularized abroad, and some domestic enterprises have also begun to use it.

(1) Daily Work Arrangement of Cattle Farm

In the past, most technical managers arranged their daily tasks according to the needs of different physiological stages of beef cattle, and the workload was heavy. Now through computer automation management, the daily tasks of the cattle farm are clear at a glance. The computer can complete the task arrangement of 1000 cows in dozens of seconds or even less, print it out and distribute it to various departments for execution, and then feed back the completed task report to the computer to correct the progress of each cow. The determination of the dairy farm task depends on the detailed files of each cow stored in the computer, as well as various parameters needed for dairy farm management and related bull information that the dairy farm told the computer through man-machine dialogue before running the computer software. According to these parameters and related data, the computer distinguishes and calculates each cow, and finally determines the current task. Therefore, it is very important to collect and track the information of each cow present.

(2) incident management of single cow in cattle farm

A very important job of cattle farm information management system is to collect and record all the original important information that occurs or produces in beef cattle life. What happened to cattle is described as "incident". For example, beef cattle from birth, weaning, estrus, mating, pregnancy, calving ... to elimination, leaving, death and other results, these are all events that happen to cattle. The management of these events is the basic function of information event management software. In these functions, from birth naming, ox number to establishing files (including the establishment of photos and genealogy data), a basic information card is automatically established by the computer. In addition to the basic information card, there are more detailed events that need to be established in the scalper information database. The more detailed the information, the more detailed the management of the cattle farm can be. The beef cattle database holds the most primitive information that happened to cattle, and beef cattle events are important information that should be collected in the beef cattle database, including photos, weaning, estrus, mating, pregnancy, re-examination and fetal test. This series of information is the preliminary data preparation for the future analysis of the overall performance of cattle and the auxiliary decision-making in management. In addition to important event information, the information base of cattle farm should also collect other kinds of information needed for management. For example, the relevant information of front-line employees in the cattle farm, the information of milk quality, the purchase and sale of various materials (such as frozen semen, medicines and feed) in the cattle farm, and the daily environmental information. This information is closely related to management decisions, which makes management decisions more accurate and effective.

(3) Production management of cattle farm

The purpose of collecting a large number of event information and auxiliary management information is to guide production. Information such as age, weight, physical condition, parity, environment and temperature of beef cattle are all essential elements in the feeding management system.

① Feeding management and feed formula: there are special software for feeding management and feed formula. When the software provides feeding production management for beef cattle, it first queries the data related to feeding in the beef cattle database, and then extracts the herd grouping model from the feeding mode database to automatically group the whole herd. The computer will output herd grouping report and cattle mobilization report. The breeder can transfer the beef cattle in the cattle transfer report, and at the same time, the computer will group each group one by one and use the corresponding beef cattle feeding standard to formulate the diet formula. In the diet formula, the computer can also realize human-computer interaction, and technicians can modify the formula automatically calculated by the computer until the formula meets the nutritional needs of a group of cattle. In this way, the computer can export this formula to the fully mixed ration transport vehicle or batching room, and the computer can save this formula at the same time. Through the actual feeding feedback of beef cattle production performance information, the formula effect can also be verified, and some parameters can be corrected in the next formula preparation until it is satisfactory. After many revisions, this cookbook can be upgraded to a cookbook template library for long-term storage for future use. If there are a large number of recipe templates, you can also immediately call the recipe template library of a cow in the template library for standby. Computer feeding management software system, combined with automatic individual feeder, can complete the fine feeding of cattle farm. In addition to the above important functions, the computer system can also strengthen the management of feed warehouse. The computer can recommend the feed with priority according to the change of inventory, and output the purchase list at any time for the feed that is about to reach the shelf life. All these have brought great convenience to enterprise management and improved the management level of cattle farm. One of the important tips of the feeding management system mentioned here is input and output. Whether the input and output of the calculated formula are reasonable or not requires an evaluation report.

② Breeding: This link generally consists of four subsystems. A. master the pedigree data of beef cattle; B. details of the determination of bull descendants; C. linear identification data of beef cattle appearance; D. indicators such as meat yield and meat quality of beef cattle.

The beef cattle database records the pedigree of each generation of cattle, which is very detailed. This pedigree file can provide reference for the selection of whether the index of inbreeding coefficient is overestimated and whether the pre-bred bull can be used. At the same time, the computer records the linear evaluation results of the body shape and appearance of each beef cattle, which is convenient to understand the body shape and appearance that the cattle need to improve, so as to select the appropriate bull frozen semen and improve the appearance defects of beef cattle.

③ Health care of beef cattle: The computer system can monitor the changes of body temperature and somatic cell data of beef cattle, understand the health level of beef cattle, and make early detection and treatment. In addition, important information such as disease diagnosis and pathological data of cattle can be processed by computer.

Modern cattle farms are gradually infiltrated by computer technology in every link of production management, and beef cattle breeding will be more and more inseparable from information technology.
