A five-day Training Workshop on the Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Livestock Research Systems commenced today and will continue until May 29, 2026. The objectives of the training workshop are as follows:
- Enhance the knowledge and technical capacity of livestock researchers and professionals in the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools for livestock research, scientific writing, data analysis, and evidence-based decision-making.
- Strengthen participants’ practical skills in the use of AI-driven livestock and precision farming technologies for animal monitoring, disease detection, herd management, and productivity improvement.
- Promote the effective and ethical integration of AI technologies and digital research platforms into livestock research and development through hands-on training, practical exercises, and applied learning.
The workshop brings together researchers and professionals from National Livestock Research Centre (NLRC), National Development Centre for Animal Nutrition (NDCAN), National Cattle Breeding Centre (NCBC) and Cluster Finance Services (CFS Bumthang) to enhance their knowledge and practical skills in utilizing AI technologies to improve livestock research, data analysis, precision farming, and scientific communication.
The training workshop session is expected to introduce the fundamentals of artificial intelligence, its applications in livestock research systems, and the ethical considerations associated with AI adoption.
A major focus of the workshop is equipping participants with AI-powered tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, DeepSeek, Paperpal, Grammarly, NotebookLM, Cainthus, Connecterra, Moocall, CattleEye, Allflex Livestock Intelligence, Afimilk, Orange Data Mining, RapidMiner, Google Colab, KNIME, Roboflow, YOLOv8, Teachable Machine, Elicit, Perplexity AI, ResearchGate, Connected Papers, Consensus, and Scite.ai to efficiently identify, evaluate, and synthesize scientific evidence relevant to livestock and veterinary sciences.
The Training workshop is being jointly organized by National Livestock Research Centre (NLRC), Bumthang and Jigme Namgyel Engineering College (JNEC), Dewathang under RGoB fund support and the training was attended by 26 participants. The expertise for the training session were facilitated from JNEC, Dewathang.
