Abstract

With the development of the aquaculture industry towards intelligence and refinement, the pig farming sector is undergoing a revolutionary transformation from traditional experience-based management to data-driven decision-making. The intelligent monitoring of pigs' vital signs, behavioral analysis, disease diagnosis, and the integrated application of the Internet-of-Things (IoT) technology have become the core of intelligent pig farming. This study reviews the intelligent monitoring technologies for pigs' vital signs, including the monitoring of body temperature, body weight, respiration, and heart rate; intelligent monitoring and analysis technologies for pig behavior, such as data analysis methods based on image processing and wearable sensors; intelligent diagnosis technologies for pig diseases, such as focused infrared thermography and computer vision technology; as well as the application status of IoT technology. The article summarizes the research status and application cases of these intelligent monitoring technologies, reveals the key challenges in technology implementation, and provides interdisciplinary technical paths and practical references for constructing a modern intelligent pig farming system in the future.
