Digitization as a tool for revitalizing the livestock industry

Abstract

Digitalization of the country’s economy should currently be considered as an integral prerequisite for its development, the activation of which is necessary at all levels, from the state to the level of an individual citizen. In the agricultural sector, the introduction of digital tools and technologies is necessary in view of their significant potential in the context of increasing the productivity of resources and increasing the level of competitiveness of products, manufacturers, industries, and the state as a whole. The livestock industry in Ukraine is experiencing a severe lack of electronic digital services. The purpose of the article is to justify the importance of using digitization for the innovative development of the livestock industry. The following methods of scientific knowledge were used in the research process: theoretical generalization, analysis and synthesis, data analysis, economic-statistical, graphic, correlation-regression, cartographic and abstract-logical. The main tools of digitization of the process of resource provision of producers of livestock products were summarized. Systematized priority types of information technologies within the framework of digitalization of business processes of producers of livestock products depending on the field of application, the main of which are information systems for determining actual and potential resource needs, selection of potential suppliers and organization of purchase and sale operations (field of resource provision); technologies for monitoring the state of farm animals, optimizing the diet and veterinary measures, forecasting the state of the animal, disease outbreaks, livestock productivity (production); online platforms for selling livestock products, electronic document management services, etc. (sales of products). The directions of using geo-information systems and technologies in order to ensure the development of the animal husbandry industry, which involve taking into account the information needs of potential users (in particular, producers of livestock products, investors and/or creditors, executive authorities, consumers) and providing them with accurate, unbiased, operational data, are substantiated. necessary for making management decisions. Therefore, digitalization should be considered as one of the promising tools for intensifying the development of animal husbandry and increasing the efficiency of production and sale of animal products. The practical value of the work lies in the development of the systematization of priority types of information technologies within the framework of digitalization of business processes for the production of livestock products.
