New solutions for sensing environmental and biological parameters to aid in the demedicalization of the agricultural and livestock sector

The R&W Clean project consists on the research, development and validation of an integrated solution for monitoring critical biological and environmental parameters in support of demedicalization of agricultural holdings. To this end, it will be necessary to study and develop two stand-alone monitoring components, namely one related to the pH monitoring of the rumen and other related to the monitoring of drinking / washing water on farms, which later they will be integrated into a complex and multi-component monitoring solution that will serve to support decision-making processes when necessary. Thus, it is intended on the one hand, to increase the degree of awareness from producers for the reduction of medication in animals (taking into account that the continuous collection of data will allow to obtain the real situation of environmental and biological conditions of the farm) and, on the other hand, to collect extremely important data for the animal feed supplier, which, based on that data, could develop formulations specially targeted to certain conditions.
