Our country's agriculture and livestock industry has changed drastically in the past decade. Smallholder farming is shrinking and professional livestock households are increasingly popular. Farmers are getting used to the concepts of smart agriculture, applying 4.0 technology. Livestock technology is gradually approaching the world level, the quality of output products is increasing and gradually meets the requirements of the world food supply chain.
