Animal Management Technologies
These encompass the use of computers and identification systems for
selection of superior breeding stock, and the use of modern animal facilities
(such as animal shelters, feed storage and delivery systems, and handling
systems) and nutritionally balanced diets for improved animal health. Increased
yields in milk or meat from animals have been achieved through the use
of hormones while electronic animal management systems have also done much
to eliminate the manual labour associated with rearing livestock.
Animal Reproductive Technologies
These technologies which contributed significantly to the success of
animal reproduction include reproductive management, artificial insemination,
embryo transfer, oestrous manipulation and gender selection.
Plant Management Technologies
Plant production have improved through more efficient weed and pest
control, irrigation management and remote sensing technologies. Tissue
analysis of plants enables the farmer to identify nutrient deficiencies
in plants before they become damaged or stressed, while hydroponics (soil-less
culture of plants) allows complete control over the nutrient intake of
plants.
