Gadvasu Patents AI-Driven Milk Yield Recording System in Ludhiana Today
Ludhiana: Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Ludhiana, has successfully secured a patent for an innovative method to ensure authentic milk yield recording in field conditions for dairy farmers practising hand milking. This innovative solution leverages Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Internet of Things (IoT) technology for authentic milk recording. The work was initiated and accomplished at the College of Animal Biotechnology, Gadvasu.
Dr. Neeraj Kashyap, who developed the technology, said that the device records the milking pattern of each animal using AI tools. Data generated during milking is stored in cloud space and other farmer/government agencies can access it. It helps in authenticating the milk yield of the animal, he added.
Dr. Kashyap said that the groundbreaking technology had the potential to revolutionise the dairy industry by ensuring accurate and tamper-proof milk yield tracking of animals, thereby enhancing transparency and trust in the supply chain. He said that the new innovation would also serve as a means for empowering dairy farmers with data-driven insights.
“The authentic milk yield associated with individual animals will help farmers get better recognition and market prices for their elite animals. The technology will also help dairy breeders to expand the scope of genetic evaluation of dairy animals, enabling them to realize accurate selection and better genetic improvement,” he added.
Dr. J P S Gill said that it was a long-awaited solution to the problem of lack of authentic production data in the dairy sector, which has been a major hindrance in the nationwide implementation of the genetic improvement programme.
