Digitalisation hub tackles the challenge of agriculture

Borgeby Fältdagar 2024

It was a major initiative for the knowledge hub for agriculture digitalization, on site during Borgeby fältdagar. It had it's own stand, where representatives from the expert network talked about digital technology and much more.

Nutrient content of the crop

The NIR sensor technology has several applications, such as harvested grain, silage and slurry. The final analysis provides answers to the crop's content of, among other things, DM content, fibre, protein, ash and starch.

Health and fertility monitoring

Information from fertility, feeding, housing environment and milking is collected and can be evaluated through the system to improve production on the farm.

Calving monitoring

The MooCall motion detector is placed on the tail of pregnant female about three to four days before expected calving. When the cow or heifer is about to calve, she moves her tail in a specific way- something that MooCall picks up in the system.

Digital Whiteboard

A digital whiteboard increases the chances of nothing falling through the cracks. With help of an app, employees can plan and carry out tasks, it can also be beneficial for new staff to be introduced.

Monitoring of animals

The technology of GPS monitoring of grazing animals has enormous potential to more effectively monitor the position and health status of animals.

Grazing Scanner

Regular use of grazing scanners improves the possibility of having grazing strategies adapted to the needs of the animals, such as growth and milk production.

Growing food bacteria on farm with AI

The Bacticam technology provides a clear overview of the presence of bacteria at both herd and individual level, which simplifies preventive animal health programmes on the farm.

virtual fences

Virtual fences reduce the need for fencing work, facilitate optimal pasture utilisation and, with the help of GPS sensors, you can also record their position in the pasture via an app.

Wild animals

FLOX Robotics has great potential to reduce grazing damage in game-dense areas. The technology has combined AI and robotics to identify game and move them, using sound and light signals.

Portable feed analysers

Using NIR spectroscopy, analyses of feed can be done directly on farm and not just in the laboratory. For an advisor, it is important to be able to quickly get an idea of the quality of the feed/grazing to help and improve the feeding of a producer.

Faecal samples

Taking regular faecal samples is crucial for the health, welfare and production of sheep flocks, regardless of flock size and production focus. With new technology, faecal samples can now also be read using AI.

Target selektive treatment

The Target selective treatment method offers the possibility to reduce the total volume of dewormer needed, in addition it allows to retain parasites that are sensitive to the parasiticide.

Genomic breeding

Single gene tests/gene markers can be used to identify genes linked to diseases, disease susceptibility, malformations, or production traits for which single and crucial genes are identified.

GPS system

By attaching a GPS tag to a collar worn by the animal during the grazing season, it is possible to track the animal's activity on a web-based dashboard or through an app.

Responder/ transponder controlled feeders

Concentrated feed is distributed at many times during the day, adapted to the individual needs of each animal, which has several advantages.

Pregnancy scanners

Checking pregnancy, counting foetuses and assesing foetal age in ewes using ultrasound offers several significant advantages that contribute to improved welfare and production.

Electronic eartags

Electronic identification (EID/RFID) using, for example ear tags or chips allows animals to be quickly identified. There are low-frequency, short-range systems and high-frequency systems that can read several animals att once.

automatic weighing

Automatic weighing of animals provides valuable information on growth, pasture quality and animal health without requiring much labour.

digital grazing measurement

Measuring pasture growth is crucial or predictability in pasture-based production. Traditional pasture meters can be complemented by apps like Aimer farming.

Change in activity

Motion sensors on the collar, in the rumen or around the sheep's legs can provide valuable information on the animals activity and behaviour, making it easier to diseases, injuries or predator attacks.

RFID-readers

Electronic ear tag readers are used to facilitate the identification and counting of animals in an efficient and reliable manner. These readers come in two main types: handheld and stationary.
