According to the China Livestock Robot Industry Development Report [2], Muyuan Foods has significant leading advantages in the intelligent farming field:

• Market Share
  : Approximately
  60%-70%
  for intelligent products
• Independent Technology
  : Developed digital farming through independent R&D, with lower costs and more suitable scenario applications compared to externally purchased solutions
• Industry Leadership
  : While peers are still exploring digital intelligent farming application scenarios, Muyuan Foods started earlier, with a higher starting point and significant advantages

---

1. Digital Twin Technology
   : Realize refined management down to each device and each pig
2. In-depth AI Application
   : Automatically identify abnormalities in pig herds through artificial intelligence to improve breeding performance
3. Technology Sharing
   : Open low-soybean diet technology, ammonia reduction and deodorization technology, etc. to the industry to promote industry progress
4. International Layout
   : Accelerate the overseas expansion of intelligent livestock equipment as agricultural cooperation under the “Belt and Road” initiative deepens
