Tacheng city in Northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region is endeavoring to develop smart animal husbandry to push forward rural vitalization. A beef cattle industrial base that covers 773 hectares is in Tacheng city's Ortaashutas village.

Each cattle raised there would be attached with an ear tag thatdigitally records the animal's health data, such as its age, weight and health conditions. The cattle would be fed according to the data.

The industrial base feeds 30,000 beef cattle and is managed by the Hualing Sannong Grassland Animal Husbandry Co, which aims to spread scientific ways of raising beef cattle in Tacheng.
