Метою статті є здійснення комплексного огляду сучасних роботизованих і автоматизованих технологій, що впроваджуються у тваринництві з метою підвищення ефективності виробничих процесів, зниження експлуатаційних витрат, покращення добробуту тварин та забезпечення сталого розвитку галузі. Особлива увага приділена інтеграції штучного інтелекту (ШІ), Інтернету речей (IoT) та сенсорних систем у структуру тваринницьких господарств.
У статті систематизовано та проаналізовано функціональні можливості автоматизованих систем годівлі, доїння, моніторингу здоров’я, керування мікрокліматом і санітарного очищення. Встановлено, що впровадження цифрових рішень сприяє підвищенню продуктивності на 10–20%, зменшенню витрат на 30–50%, зниженню захворюваності тварин на 25–40% та скороченню використання антибіотиків на 20–25%. Показано, що застосування блокчейн-технологій підвищує рівень прозорості та біобезпеки в ланцюгу постачання. Також висвітлено переваги адаптивних систем управління, автоматизованого моніторингу фізіологічних показників тварин та використання алгоритмів глибокого навчання у точному тваринництві.
Огляд доводить ефективність впровадження роботизованих технологій як інструменту модернізації тваринництва. Встановлено, що цифрова трансформація сприяє зростанню економічної рентабельності, покращенню умов утримання тварин і екологічній стійкості виробництва. Подальші дослідження мають бути зосереджені на розробці адаптивних цифрових систем та вдосконаленні моделей управління для підтримки малих і середніх господарств.
