Abstract

The purpose of this study was to propose a plan for constructing a regional Hanwoo big data center to provide an integrated management system of feeding, reproduction, and genetic improvement using biological and environmental data. The regional big data center for the Hanwoo industry was constructed as described below. First, Hanwoo digital data were collected from the ICT (Information and Communications Technology) equipment in each farm, ICT companies, and related organizations. Thereafter, the collected data were subjected to file storage real-time using agent, agentless, FTP (File Transfer Protocol), and Open API (Open Application Programming Interface) methods. Finally, to monitor and control disease and reproduction, a Hanwoo big data platform based on AI (Artificial Intelligence) was established. Regional Hanwoo big data center can provide services to users according to a data connection plan appropriate to the situation in real-time Hanwoo public to open big data platform. Therefore, the regional Hanwoo big data center could have positive effects, such as maximizing management efficiency of farms by reducing livestock losses, reducing total feeding cost, and reproduction improvement on farms. Moreover, employment opportunities can be created by recruiting labor related to the big data industry through a public to open data platform. Notably, Hanwoo big data platform is expected to expand to other industries and new markets for services.
