Introduction of digital technologies in beef breeding of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) on the use of smaxtec internal monitoring system for kalmyk bulls autumn fattening

Abstract

The work includes research using the SmaXtec internal monitoring system for Kalmyk bulls fattening in the conditions of Yakutia. The indicators of the rumen pH-value, rumen temperature and animal physical activity were analyzed. The data of bulls health state weekly monitoring via bolus-sensors and natural and climatic factors in the fattening period are presented. We studied the Kalmyk bulls monitoring daily indicators (15–18 months) using the SmaXtec system. Digital technologies were used and remote information sourcing from farm livestock in real time mode was obtained for the first time in the region’s cattle breeding.
