Move over, traditional farming—tech is milking the future! 🚜 Nanzhang County in Hubei Province has become the heart of China’s dairy innovation with its Cloud Hymn smart ranch, a 1.2 billion yuan project transforming cows into data-driven superstars. 🌟
Each cow sports an intelligent collar (think Fitbit for bovines 🐮) tracking everything from body temp to fertility, while ear tags log health stats and family history. All this data feeds into a big-data platform, letting one worker manage 70 cows and save 20 million yuan/year. Talk about efficiency! 💻
The ranch isn’t just about fancy gadgets—it’s boosting local farmers too. Over 3,500 households now grow silage crops using exclusive fermentation tech, earning an extra 30,000 yuan/year on average. 🌾 Plus, wheat and rice straw get a second life as nutrient-rich feed. ♻️
With 130 tons of fresh milk produced daily, Nanzhang’s supply chain—from pasture to market—is now central China’s dairy crown jewel. 🥛👑 Who knew algorithms could make cows this cool?
