It has also been supported by the University of Lleida (UdL), the Centre for Pig Studies (CEP) and input from industry experts.<\/p>\n<p>The new solutions rolled out in the project were presented at an event held at the Agrobiotech Park in Lleida which was opened by Llu\u00eds Junc\u00e0, Director General of Innovation, Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship in the Government of Catalonia, Gl\u00f2ria Cugat, Deputy Director General of Agri-Food Transfer and Innovation, and Joan Mas, Director of CIDAI and head of Eurecat\u2019s Digital Area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith these high-impact projects and across CIDAI as a whole, we are fostering the uptake of artificial intelligence in Catalan businesses and public authorities,\u201d said Llu\u00eds Junc\u00e0 in his speech. \u201cHowever, most of all we are laying the groundwork to enable new ideas, new possibilities, new projects and new proofs-of-concept to emerge which are the basis for continuing our efforts to address the problems and challenges we face as a country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Ministry of Climate Action, Food and Rural Agenda has backed this project because it helps to unlock and fast-track uptake of artificial intelligence in the agri-food and forestry sector,\u201d added Gl\u00f2ria Cugat. \u201cIt is one of the challenges which, alongside sustainability, healthy eating, Industry 4.0 and generational handover, make up our Pla Innova 2030 innovation strategy for this sector which has been drawn up and is led by the Ministry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had to present the results of this technological project for the agricultural sector in Lleida because many of its implementers operate here,\u201d pointed out Joan Mas. \u201cSo we need to ensure that the impact of the technological developments achieved gets to the local primary sector and can then be built on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>AI applications in the agricultural sector<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>CIDAI\u2019s high-impact project taps artificial intelligence for the agricultural sector in two use cases tackling specific challenges shared by government, businesses and farms operating in the industry.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, tools have been devised to support decision-making in the application of antibiotics in livestock farms to meet the need for greater knowledge in this area posed by the Catalan Government\u2019s Animal Feed and Livestock Production Safety Service. The new solutions make it possible to spot patterns which will help to optimise the application of antibiotics in order to minimise their use.<\/p>\n<p>The second use case was identified after a number of meetings with industry stakeholders in Lleida, in partnership with the Centre for Pig Studies and the University of Lleida and with the input of the Catalan Federation of Agricultural Cooperatives, to develop artificial intelligence and computer vision algorithms for monitoring the lifecycle of pigs to enhance animal welfare and thus ramp up farm efficiency and profitability.<\/p>\n<p>Anchored in these data gleaned from individualised monitoring, digital solutions can be leveraged to yield behavioural indicators to optimise animal welfare on pig farms and make the fattening process more efficient through precise and individualised tracking of each animal.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":148125,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2795,415,743],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-152544","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aai","category-big-data-en","category-press-notes-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
