CAETEC, the data \u201cfarm\u201d<\/div>

The AGRO Experimental Field (CAETEC), part of Queretaro Campus, is the largest laboratory in the Tec system and a space with interconnections in the industry.<\/strong><\/p>

Here, among the barley crops at CAETEC, Juan Valiente \u2013National Director of the Agrifood Biosystems Engineering Program\u2013 and his team are determining ways to reduce the water footprint of beer production.<\/p>

CAETEC's main mission are to serve as a research center that allows the implementation of projects with the industry, connections with foreign universities, and educational innovation plans.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
One of CAETEC's three agricultural areas is fruit farming, where it works with grapevines. The other two are protected agriculture (greenhouses) and extensive agriculture (grains and forages). All three use precision agriculture, that is, they employ technologies to improve their efficiency, productivity, and sustainability.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
\u201cWe seek to generate data and analyze that information to understand better how to change agriculture positively,\u201d says Arturo Gonz\u00e1lez de Cos\u00edo, director of CAETEC.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
CAETEC's barn has 160 cows that sunbathe, rest, and eat when they want, allowing them to live stress-free. This has resulted in increased production.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
It required several months to incorporate all the cows into the robotic milking system. Now, they decide when they want to be milked, and everything is automated. <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
The DeLaval milking system is one reason Nestl\u00e9 chose CAETEC\u2014which has three of these five robots in Mexico\u2014to develop a global project to reduce methane emissions from cow manure. <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
The robots in charge of milking the cows record the times each animal is milked, the amount of milk, the percentage of fat, etc. This data is very valuable for making decisions regarding feeding. <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Within the research lines of the project, feeding, genetics, gastrointestinal processes and even feeding schedules of the cows will be evaluated to define better practices and thus have a better treatment of manure and reduce the emission of greenhouse gasses. <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
