Creation of Beef Value Chain by Optimizing Ruminal Microbiota and Grassland Management on Digital Platform

Develop smart livestock production technology using locally diverse livestock resources
In this study, we will provide smart livestock production technology to ranchers in Colombia, which has a competitive beef production industry, offering them a digital platform that small-scale farmers can use to increase their income to improve beef productivity in a tropical region with a dry season. Furthermore, we aim to utilize the genetic diversity of the ruminal microbiota and grassland diversity, which are closely linked to productivity, to enable the preservation and sustainable use of the pasture ecosystems where livestock is mainly let out to graze and to contribute to regional development through value-added livestock production.

Creating a digital platform that contributes to beef production system optimization
A digital platform that provides traceability for Colombian beef will increase the productivity of local livestock communities and provide a digital certification of beef quality. Going forward, this will contribute to adopting the smart livestock regional model that supports the optimization of the beef production structure by utilizing regional characteristics.
