In a live connection, the press was invited to attend how a company employee scanned a pig head with an app on his mobile phone. As soon as the animal was recognised, all data were shown on screen.
The technology is useful for breeding purposes, as well as feeding, pig house climate, management and animal health purposes. Especially on the basis of a deviating bodily temperature, an animal with health problems can be noticed quicker and a treatment can be started sooner.
At the press conference in Guangzhou, China, Yingzi confirmed that the development of the product hasn’t been finished yet at this stage. The scanning process of the pig’s head needs improvement; and it isn’t yet possible to identify entire groups. The company is working on this. Nevertheless, the Chinese company is convinced that its Big Data technology will lead to a revolution in pig production.
