Japan wants to use IoT and AI technology to raise the milk output of dairy cows

According to the Nihon Keizai Shimbun on March 31, NTT DoCoMo, a Japanese telecom operator, plans to launch a new service for cottage farmers in March by combining Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) technology. Sensors will be installed on the cow neck to accurately monitor estrus through cattle operations. It is said that this technique can be used to increase the milking capacity of milking cows, while beef cattle can increase the breeding efficiency. NTT DoCoMo will sell through farmers' associations across Japan and strive to attract 1,000 dairy farmers for two years.

The service will feature IoT devices developed by IT startup farmnote (Obihiro, Hokkaido). Equipment built-in acceleration sensor and wireless communication equipment, through the communication network to collect cattle exercise and ruminant time and other data. Alleged cattle to estrus, the amount of activity will increase, if the stocking method can be more than 90% of the accuracy of monitoring.

In addition, through the use of artificial intelligence technology, will be able to make judgments in line with individual differences. The required sensor and other equipment for each cow is ¥ 98,800, and the service fee is ¥ 200 per month (tax not included). In addition, there is a need for a communication transfer and installation fee. Allegedly, raising 50 dairy cows if missed the estrus period led to a decrease in milking throughout the year will result in nearly 4 million yen loss. Therefore, the introduction of related services, then 1 year to recover the initial investment.

Related technology if used in beef cattle, not only can effectively improve the breeding efficiency, but also early detection of signs of disease. In addition, NTT DoCoMo also plans to discuss such services as developing calf growth, managing feed allowances and supporting crop circulation.
