The initiative has produced 83 scientific reports covering areas such as technology, sustainability, and animal welfare. During the event, the creation of a digital twin was highlighted—a virtual replica of the herd that allows for performance prediction and real-time pasture management using virtual fences and GPS collars.
“"The scientific research carried out has allowed the creation of a model that can be replicated elsewhere to recover livestock management using current technologies."
Beyond technology, the project emphasized preserving the historical memory of local farmers and fire prevention. The Forest Science and Technology Centre of Catalonia analyzed how grazing helps maintain biodiversity and clear undergrowth, reducing the need for heavy machinery.
Looking ahead, the Ovihuec.sost project has been announced. This new three-year phase will focus on the socioeconomic viability of the model, led by IRTA and funded by the Ministry for Ecological Transition.
