At present, the total quantity of stockbreeding machinery in our country exceeds 8 million units (sets), but its mechanization level is only 35.79%. It is predicted that by 2035, the total output value of animal husbandry in China will account for 52% of the total agricultural output value, making it the largest agricultural industry. But for now, the overall mechanization level of livestock husbandry is not high, the innovation ability of science and technologies is not strong, the supply of some technical equipment is not effective, and the integration of breeding engineering and facilities equipment is not sufficient. The 14th Five-Year Plan for National Agricultural Mechanization Development points out that by 2025, the overall mechanization rate of animal husbandry will reach more than 50%. We should focus on high-quality development of animal husbandry and facilitate intelligent and green animal husbandry by promoting the integration of facilities and equipment with breeding technologies, the integration of mechanization and information technologies of breeding, the adaptation of facility and equipment allocation to farm construction, and the adaptation of mechanized production to moderate scale operation.

In order to better publicize and report the basic theories, key technologies, innovative equipment and new achievements in the application of animal husbandry, the journal plans to launch the special topic of "Intelligent Key Technologies and Equipment of animal husbandry". This topic specially invited Shen Mingxia, a professor in the School of Artificial Intelligence, Nanjing Agricultural University, as a special editor. She is also the director of the Key Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence of the Ministry of Agriculture Farming Equipment, Nanjing Agricultural university. This paper is now open for contributions from experts, scholars, and researchers in related fields.

Scope of the call for papers (including but not limited to)

1. Technologies and equipment for sensing physiological growth behavior in animal husbandry

2. Animal husbandry and aquaculture environment monitoring technologies and equipment

3. Precision feeding technologies and equipment in animal husbandry

4. Intelligent technologies and equipment for animal husbandry operation

5. Livestock disease monitoring technologies and systems

6. Big data analysis technologies and systems for animal husbandry

7. Livestock product quality and safety monitoring and traceability technologies and systems

8. Technologies and equipment for resource utilization of livestock and poultry waste

9. Technologies and equipment for harmless treatment of dead livestock and poultry
