RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA, July 7, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- The Sustainable Agricultural Rural Development Program – Reef Saudi has reinforced its commitment to empowering small-scale livestock breeders across the Kingdom by enhancing livestock production systems and driving investment in the animal husbandry sector.

A Global First in Smart Livestock Management
As part of its 2024 development milestones, the program announced the successful implementation of the 'Saudi Smart Flock' system-the first of its kind globally-for managing intensive livestock farms using Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.

According to Majid Al-Buraikan, Official Spokesperson of Reef Saudi, Saudi Smart Flock is a next-generation digital platform designed to manage intensive livestock operations through IoT integration and facial recognition technologies.
This innovative system has been piloted in six small-scale farms across Saudi Arabia and is distinguished by its unique ability to identify animals via facial patterns, with recognition powered by front-facing imagery.

Unlike conventional systems, Saudi Smart Flock can support both intensive and traditional farming models, offering real-time insights into:
.. Livestock productivity tracking
.. Health monitoring with instant feedback
.. Digital animal record-keeping
.. Operational efficiency and waste reduction
.. Data-driven decision-making support

Driving Change for Small-Scale Livestock Breeders
This initiative aligns with Reef Saudi's strategic focus on smallholder livestock farmers, one of the program's key target sectors. By integrating smart technologies, the program aims to:
.. Improve productivity
.. Increase rural income
.. Modernize traditional production methods
.. Strengthen national food security

Reef Saudi's introduction of Saudi Smart Flock represents a leap forward in smart agriculture-and a benchmark for global innovation in the management of small ruminants.
