China is deploying AI-powered robots to vaccinate pigs, aiming to enhance its pork production efficiency. These robots utilize camera technology to precisely locate the injection site – the base of the pig’s tail – and administer vaccines without needles. The system achieves a reported 93% accuracy rate, streamlining the routine but crucial task of pig vaccination. This innovation supports the nation's “intelligent pig farming” initiative and helps meet the demands of the world’s largest pork-consuming market. Breeding pigs require regular vaccinations throughout their lifecycle, making this automated process particularly valuable. The robots operate while pigs are feeding, minimizing stress and maximizing efficiency. This technology signifies a move towards greater automation in Chinese agriculture.
