Devices such as temperature humidity index (THI) sensors, gas sensors, water purity meters, and grain moisture meters are empowering farmers to adopt precision-based approaches to herd management. The immediate benefits are clear: a significant reduction in operational costs, a notable increase in productivity, and a marked improvement in animal welfare standards. This technological integration is not just about efficiency; it’s about creating more sustainable and humane dairy farming practices.

Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (GADVASU) is playing a pivotal role in this technological rollout. The university recently organized a specialized camp specifically designed to educate dairy farmers on the effective utilization of these sensor devices. As part of this initiative, GADVASU installed comprehensive sensor equipment in nine selected dairy farms, enabling continuous data collection and the provision of tailored advisories to participating farmers.

This hands-on approach demonstrates GADVASU’s commitment to leading a smart agricultural revolution within Punjab. By actively promoting the adoption of these advanced technologies, the university is fostering a culture of sustainability, efficiency, and innovation across the region’s dairy sector. This strategic push is crucial for modernizing farming practices and ensuring the long-term viability of milk production in a competitive global market.
