According to Zhituo Finance APP, recently, the Information Center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs announced the typical cases of smart agriculture construction for 2024. With a digital intelligence empowerment model spanning from breeding to fodder to raw milk production in the dairy industry's upstream industry chain business, Youran Agricultural (09858) smart livestock solutions have been recognized as a "Typical Case of Smart Agriculture Construction" by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, being the only case awarded in the entire dairy industry chain, marking Youran Agricultural as a typical representative of technology development in the domestic dairy industry.

Digital farming: Leading the industry's digital transformation.

Youran Agricultural has deeply integrated smart equipment, big data systems, internet of things, and AI technologies, creating a comprehensive ecological smart ranch at Chulu Chuan that incorporates popular science education, sightseeing interaction, smart experiences, and dairy tourism. It has pioneered the construction of fully automated "drone cattle sheds," utilizing advanced fully intelligent unmanned milking robots, feeding robots, material pushing robots, and manure cleaning robots. Additionally, it employs the self-developed "Huimuyun" smart ranch management system, which interacts with IoT 'cloud' technology to automatically adjust the temperature, humidity, lighting, and air freshness in the cattle sheds. An AI spraying system has also been applied, achieving over 45% water savings compared to traditional spraying methods, greatly enhancing the precision and detail of ranch management and improving operational efficiency. Youran Agricultural is proactively exploring the development path of transitioning from large-scale, intensive ranches to intelligent, low-carbon ranches within the industry, continuously researching and promoting digital farming technology and smart ranch construction standards. The research results, "Standardization and Key Technologies for Smart Dairy Ranches," have won the first prize for technological advancement in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Digital nutrition: Ensuring the health and nutritional needs of dairy cows.

You Ran Livestock has established a precise nutrition system based on nearly 40 years of research and production experience in ruminant fodder, leveraging its own data of 0.601 million dairy cows and services for over 2 million dairy cows. By utilizing sensors, collars, and leg bands, real-time data of the cows is collected and identified, calculating the nutrition required for cow production and maintenance through the precise nutrition system. Additionally, You Ran Livestock has built a near-infrared nutrition database for main raw materials in dairy cow farming in china, with a standard sample size exceeding 1 million, allowing for detailed nutritional testing of fodder raw materials. This enables the selection of the most optimal raw material combinations, using precise formulation software systems that integrate herd basic information, production dynamics, and nutritional details of the raw materials to tailor precise nutrition plans for the cows. These plans are implemented through a precise feeding system, continuously monitored and evaluated alongside the farm management system, ensuring timely adjustments and optimizations based on actual situations, thereby providing a solid guarantee for the cows' nutritional intake, health status, and longevity.

Digital grassland: Creating best practices for jiangsu nonghua intelligent agriculture technology.

As the largest alfalfa supplier in the country, You Ran Livestock has constructed a comprehensive development model for intelligent grassland, from analyzing the water and soil environment of grasslands to real-time monitoring of climate changes, and the full-scale application of intelligent seeding, irrigation, and fertilization techniques. Now, You Ran Livestock has independently developed the "Wisdom Grass Cloud" grass planting information system platform to realize intelligent grassland management; using micro-meteorological stations at grassland bases to monitor weather conditions in real-time, achieving accurate rainfall forecasts for 48 hours; employing drones for plant protection and intelligent irrigation systems to ensure effective pest and weed control, and efficient use of water and fertilizers, realizing precise management of grassland throughout its entire growth period. In the first half of 2024, nearly 60% of the alfalfa produced on-site at You Ran Livestock's grass production base reached grade A or above, with the protein indicators for alfalfa silage reaching over 85%.

Digital seed industry: Overcoming the challenge of precise and efficient breeding selection for dairy cows.

To further break through the technical bottleneck in breeding quality dairy cattle in the country, You Ran Livestock's Saikexing has established the "Dairy Cow Breeding Big Data Platform". The platform is based on the company's own data set of over a million, integrating data from product after-sales service systems, the "Wisdom Pasture Cloud" intelligent pasture management system, and industry-university-research breeding systems, automatically updating and perfecting production-research-sales data in a timely manner. The platform employs top bio-genetic assessment algorithms, conducting pedigree analysis and herd evaluation of dairy farms to comprehensively, accurately, and efficiently assess cow populations, formulating breeding and selection plans suitable for our country's cultivation methods, enhancing the competitiveness of the breeding business. As of now, You Ran Livestock's Saikexing has produced nearly 0.05 million high-yield dairy cow sexed embryos with an annual production potential of 14 tons and above, promoting rapid iterative improvement of high-yield dairy cow genes.

Digital e-commerce: Creating a one-stop technological innovation platform for breeding services.

To meet the actual needs of ranch customers, Youran Dairy has further upgraded the largest domestic dairy industry chain trade center - Jumucheng Technology, building a digital technology and application architecture that includes precise identification, precise matching, precise governance, accurate delivery, and an AI deep learning platform. With high-quality products and professional, multi-dimensional and timely services, over 10,000 types of breeding supplies are sold through an online platform and 33 offline supermarkets, providing one-stop services and systematic, low-cost solutions for dairy cattle, beef cattle, and meat sheep farming customers in areas such as 'livestock purchasing, precise nutrition, excellent breeding, health care and epidemic prevention, operation management, policy interpretation, financial support, and product sales.'

In the future, Youran Dairy will continue to promote the technology empowerment strategy, cultivate technology innovation talents, accelerate the aggregation of innovation elements, strengthen the construction of innovation platforms and the transformation and application of science and technology, and speed up the development of new quality productivity, injecting innovative momentum into the high-quality development of the dairy industry.
