Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Dr Adham Baba said his ministry will be educating livestock breeders on the use of technology to reduce animal feed costs.
He said his ministry has planned required and suitable technology for use by farmers in Malaysia.
They will be meeting breeders for discussions, he added.
"We will look at opportunities to reduce breeding costs like the usage of 'green house’ technology or livestock farms,” he said.
The minister was speaking to reporters after launching the MYStartup Roadshow in Penang today.
Adham said his ministry will also assist breeders with using Artificial Intelligence (AI) or the Internet of Things (IoT) if the "smart farming” method is applied.
He said the Science, Technology and Innovation Ministry (Mosti) was also prepared to assist the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries in using technology to reduce feed costs.
Meanwhile, he said Mosti, through Cradle Fund Sdn Bhd (Cradle), will launch MYHackathorn 2022.
The programme is meant to find solutions to problems of government or private online services.
It is expected to be launched next month and is targetting more innovations by start-up companies to improve the government’s delivery system.
"Mosti is targeting more than 300 participations for the MYHackathorn programme this year and we have allocated RM2.5 million which will be given to 10 selected winners,” he added.
