Digital Silage
Project
Project code: EIP-Agri-SH-2023-LPTTHPPGB
Contract period: 01.01.2023
- 31.12.2025
Budget: 377,267 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: farming practice/activity, animal husbandry, plant production and horticulture, climate change
The aim of this project is to introduce automated and AI-based controlling for basic fodder production. In addition to the losses of the basic feed production, the daily updated forage ranges and quality parameters such as silage density and feed rate will be recorded and processed in a completely automated way for the first time. Together with forage analysis and ration calculation, all data on basic forage production is collected digitally. In this way, the relevant key figures and balances for farms are collected and the parameters are made intuitively usable on farmers' end devices via an interactive front end. The collection of the data is carried out by Silolytics GmbH, which develops intelligent sensor technology for this purpose. In the second step, the collected data will be evaluated for the farms and points for improving efficiency will be developed. In the following year, these points will be implemented in the farms in a targeted manner and adapted to the usage requirements. Together with the farms, an automated controlling of the basic fodder production is introduced, which makes it possible to react to undesirable developments in real time.
