Abstract

GO_HorseData is aware of the need to promote the digital transformation of a traditional sector and modernize it to support the business decisions of the different actors in the value chain of the equine sector through innovation, incorporating real-time data collection and analysis systems into the equine breeding and processing process.

In this way, through the proposed digitalisation, the capacity of farmers to treat each animal individually is improved, responding more quickly to health, well-being, behaviour or development problems than is traditionally done through completely manual work.

Furthermore, this modernisation in individual monitoring has direct consequences on sustainability, achieving more efficient management of resources, increasing farm performance and animal welfare while minimising environmental impact.

Description

The GO_HorseData project “Digital monitoring of semi-free horses to optimize breeding and processing processes on extensive livestock farms” will develop an intelligent monitoring system based on RFID transponders attached to horses to record and analyze movements related to the handling of groups of animals and optimize equine breeding and processing processes, offering a real-time alert system for farmers.

Description of activities
  • Definition of the agents that interfere with the breeding and transformation required for horse breeding.
  • Monitoring of the specimens to cover the identified needs. A monitoring system based on RFID technology will be developed.
  • Intuitive real-time monitoring platform.
  • Decision-making support.
  • Creating the investment/added value curve that training entails.
  • Diagnosis of the ideal scenario for training.
  • Improving digital skills.
Objectives

The general objective of the project is to design an innovative integrated horse monitoring control program for the optimization of breeding and transformation processes in extensive livestock farms.

Results
  1. The project will result in an innovative integrated horse monitoring control programme that will enable the optimisation of breeding and transformation processes in extensive livestock farms.
