China: AI-based devices facilitate pig farming in central China.

Storyline AI-based devices facilitate pig farming in central China A six-story indoor pig farm in central China's Henan Province uses intelligent monitoring to increase annual production. There are about 84,000 sets of sensors that capture and analyze data in real-time for the 100,000 piglets produced each year, and roughly 2.1 million that are ready for market. The AI-based system controls feeding, temperature and humidity levels and can even diagnose potential health problems, all of which aids breeders in monitoring the growth of each pig. Wang Hao, breeder: "We open the app to see all data. The machines are able to control temperature, humidity and the amount of fodder." Data shows that over 700 million pigs are slaughtered in China every year. [Restrictions: No access Chinese mainland]
