Born the “camper mail”

Published 13-10-2007

Santiago, 8 October, 2007. With the assistance of local farmers, researchers and entrepreneurs, was conducted at the Experimental Center of the Catholic University of Temuco the first demonstration project “Electronic management of cattle”, awarded by the UC Temuco in partnership with the University of La Frontera.

Project

 

In this project the general raise in their development Fondef, the design and implementation of electronic devices and computer communications, designed to address the problems identified in production management processes and traceability cattle campuses, and the development of electronic monitoring systems, based behavioral health production parameters and localization of bovine, in spaces for livestock

In this sense, as expected results, the project designed to create monitoring sensors, a network monitor farm, farm communication network, camper mail, virtual fences and concretization of Strategic Business Unit Technology.

In this context the project “Electronic management of cattle”, bring the area, improvements in competitiveness, automation and traceability; generate proactive management veterinary and agronomic; rustling and decrease costs associated; greater financial benefits by producing quality in agricultural regions of the country; new businesses livestock; organization of small and large producers through an interactive network and introduction of technologies.

 

Technology

 

As indicated by the project manager Gabriel Vivallo, Chile currently has no electronic monitoring systems in real time animals.

In this sense it would facilitate the operation of decision, management, productivity and help prevent accidents and theft of animals, in turn the use of electronic technologies, telecommunications and computer, would enhance the business of livestock production, have a high private and social returns.

In this area the project developed by the Catholic University of Temuco, aims to create a unit of technology and business management, to produce the support and services for managing the quality assurance, traceability and real-time monitoring of production, in medium and large enterprises in the livestock and meat Network Indap. The products to be traded by massive technology companies are: An electronic management system for livestock farm as a business and technology, electronic sensors rights, management software and consulting in productive, commercial and technological, from a Strategic Business Unit Technology.

 

Camper

Address

 

A Pillanlelbún, specifically at the Experimental Center of the Catholic University of Temuco, was tested for the first time camper mail.

Field activity showed attendees the installation and use of the devices, which perform the function of verifying the location and distance of the cow, besides its temperature measured, monitor in real time what was happening with each animal.

The project manager, UC faculty Temuco, Gabriel Vivallo, said, “This camper can detect diseases, heat or jealousy of animals, addition to denouncing rustling and any animal health problem. In this first show what was intended was to test the chips in cows, testing them at a distance of 100 meter apparatus monitors”.

 

First time

 

Vivallo added that this is the first time that this technology is developed for animals, emphasizing that in other countries use a much more invasive technology, which introduces an electronic detector in the middle ear of animals, instead the device developed through this project is much smaller and goes out of the animal.

He further noted that the amount of information that has to have the camper today, by the issue of quality and market, s extremely large, necessitating the automation. In this sense the project manager added that, “to this the Catholic University of Temuco is working in the areas of agronomy, veterinary, economics and computer UFRO project and work is guiding the development of electronic technologies applicable”.

The researcher also noted that the electronic jeep basically measured biological parameters of animals, identifying what the animal is doing and its temperature.

Notably, in November a second presentation of electronic jeep Development Society and later the team is working on the project will move to Osorno to present at the Agriculture and Cattle Company “electronic dog” that serves locator, indicating each 20 seconds where the cow.
