Welcome to the Agritech Revolution
With the current advances on computer technology, the agricultural sector is finally taking serious advantage of programming and artificial intelligence to produce its own tech.
Look back at pre-BSE era, and we didn’t think we would ever have computerized records for individual animals, yet today in Canada, we have set the example for the rest of the world. The ever-evolving demands by consumer countries have made Canadian beef an easy export. The focus now, is on real-time data to continuously manage cattle and reduce the use of drugs, while optimizing performance on these animals.
