Farming” for animal species across the NETWORK EUROTIER – MADE BY DLG board will deal with questions of digitisa- tion of production processes in the barn and on the farm. Whether in production monitoring, animal health and welfare, the nutrient balance or transparency to the customer: equal consideration can be given to the needs of animals, the environment, farmers and consumers through the use of sensors and targeted data management. By networking systems and technologies during operation, management can be simplified and errors can be avoided.

Main theme “Digital Animal Farming” Probably no innovation is currently occupying agriculture as massively as digitization, and accordingly it is being discussed intensively. What is needed are progressive concepts that are adapted to the variety of locations and strengthen competition. Digitization will play a leading role here. It also helps to rearrange production processes as well as supply and value chains.

Innovations and trends Digitising and networking of the value chain becomes increasingly important

In the animal husbandry the trend towards further automation of processes, combined with intelligent data management systems to optimise the regulation and control of machinery, logistics, documentation, quality assurance and traceability, is forging ahead unwaveringly. This is demonstrated by the more than 250 innovations submitted for the Innovation Award EuroTier 2018 competition.

Here particular attention must breeding ground for mould and bacteria. a bucket and shovel. This manual emptying of the trough is not only cumber- some and in some cases dangerous for the user; feed remains are frequently left in the corners, where they can quickly spoil.

With the Speedy trough cleaner, which is simply connected to the gun of a high-pressure cleaner, feed remains can be removed from troughs in an extremely short time. And it makes no difference whether the feed is wet or dry. The feed sucked out can be caught in a container or drained off into the manure. After emptying, the trough can be cleaned quickly with the washing lance by simply switching over to the cleaning nozzle.

This ensures optimum hygiene; the next ration of feed remains fresh longer and is taken up better.

With a related app the employees responsible for cow traffic can survey all opening states of the gates on their smart phones in real time. Then they can control certain gates immediately and individually, or can temporarily change the administration of several gates for certain livestock groups or alter the passage height, e.g. for tractors, without having to be near the gate.

Poultry management and feeding technology CD-san®-Concept Aumann Hygienetechnik, Vechta, Germany (Hall 17, Stand A18)

The optimum supply with hygienically perfect drinking water is a major prerequisite for health maintenance and performance of poultry. On the one hand, suitable materials for line technology and a uniform pressure distribution in the poultry house are required for optimum supply of the animals. On the other hand, effective possibilities for keeping the drinking system clean must be provided.

The CD-san® Concept from Aumann Hygienetechnik enables these requirements to be met. Here it is especially important that no biofilms result and that biofilms which already exist are immediately and reliably removed again. Ámong other things, this is made possible by the Har- sonic® ultrasound system.

The CD-san® Concept enables thorough cleaning and disinfection – both when empty and when filled. In the empty phase, the ultrasound system also amplifies the effect of the disinfectant. The CD-san® Concept therefore ensures optimum supply of the animals with hygienically perfect drinking water.

Poultry management and feeding technology SELEGGT Acus SELEGGT GmbH, Köln, Germany (Hall 17, Stand D45)

The killing of male chicks of the laying genotype when hatching is a method that is to be replaced by 2019/2020 with the in ovo sex determination method.

Two concepts have been developed for this purpose: 1) hormone analysis on the 8th/9th incubation day and 2) spectroscopic measurement by means of Raman spectroscopy) on the 4th incubation day.

With both methods, the egg shell must be penetrated on the flat pole of the egg for testing. With the hormone analysis, only a small hole is required via which a sample, the allantoin, is drawn out of the embryonic bladder with a cannula. On the other hand, with spectroscopic measurement an opening of approx. 12 mm must be produced.

For automated sampling or for the creation of the access point, the egg must be exactly positioned. SELEGGT Acus was developed for automatic sampling for hormone analysis and enables the correct positioning of the eggs. Then sampling of the allantoin fluid is taken and transferred to the measuring device automatically. The hourly performance currently realised is approximately 3,500 eggs.

SELEGGT Acus creates the condition for implementation of in ovo sex determination by means of hormone analysis in practice. 22 | Innovation Award – Silver

For this problem-oriented treatment, hoof care specialists are provided with the analysed data, the scanner photos and the weight of each individual animal on their tablet or mobile phone.

With this innovative system, herd managers are able for the first time to automatically detect preventative changes to the hoof. This results in a number of advantages in practice. With the integrated software, deviations from the hoof model are recognised and at an early stage, therefore improving animal welfare. In conjunction with the management system, this results in less acute treatments of limping cows, a reduced workload, a higher milk output of the cows and ultimately lower veterinary and/or treatment costs.

A transfer to long-term data keeping, like the herd management system, generally does not take place. Therefore, the data are only rarely available so that later analyses are also possible in combination with other vital parameters.

The Smart Thermometer developed by Förster electronically records the rectally measured body temperature of calves and cattle. The data can be passed on to the Förster Technical Calf Cloud via a connection to the SmartHealth app. With the app additional health parameters, such as the ear position, nasal discharge, eye condition and a faeces evaluation, can be acquired. The Calf Cloud enables integration in the Förster Smart Calf System. The temperature and the evaluation results can 24 | Innovation Award – Silver
