Behavioral responses of group-housed pigs are strongly influenced by pigsty environmental conditions, yet their dynamic coupling is difficult to quantify under commercial farming scenarios. This difficulty arises from high inter-pig similarity, complex interactions, and rapidly changing environmental conditions, which pose significant challenges for existing vision-based multi-pig behavior detection and tracking methods. To address these challenges, this study proposes a PIG-Net–based dynamic coupling analysis framework that integrates behavior detection, multi-pig tracking, and behavior-environment interaction analysis. The model uses an EfficientRepBiFusion backbone with bidirectional feature fusion and a lightweight LSDGCD detection head, achieving mean Average Precision (mAP) of 93.5% for PIG YOLO on four pig behaviors—standing, dog-sitting, lateral lying, and prone lying. The integrated PIG-Net system achieves stable tracking performance with identification average rate (IDF1) of 90.7%, multiple object tracking accuracy (MOTA) of 88.6%, and a real-time processing speed of 26 FPS, while environmental sensors continuously record temperature, humidity, and CO₂ levels for long-term correlation analysis. Based on long-term monitoring, Pearson correlation analysis was applied to quantify the associations between pig behaviors and environmental factors, highlighting significant correlations with coefficients |r| ranging from 0.65 to 0.76. By combining these quantitative results with temporal and dimensionality reduction analyses, temperature, humidity, and CO₂ were identified as the primary environmental drivers. Active behaviors decreased under elevated temperature and humidity and increased during cooler and drier periods, whereas prone lying and lateral lying increased under thermal and moisture stress. Elevated CO₂ concentrations further suppressed activity, reflecting inhibitory effects of degraded air quality. These findings provide a quantitative basis for behavior-environment coupling assessment and early health warning in group-housed pigs.

Garlic is a traditional vegetable and an important horticultural crop in China, with its cultivated area and production ranking first among all countries in the world. In recent years, with social and economic development, labor costs have generally risen, which has directly led to the cost of garlic planting rising year after year, the decline in profits from garlic planting, and the continued reduction in garlic planting area. In this review, the development of mechanized planting in the main garlic-producing countries in the world is discussed in detail, and the present situation and characteristics of mechanized planting in China are analyzed. The advanced garlic seeding machinery and existing problems are compared and investigated, and the development status and technical characteristics of garlic seeding mechanization in China are analyzed. On this basis, it is pointed out that China’s garlic sowing mechanization faces the problems of insufficient integration of agricultural machinery and agronomy, lack of unification of planting mode, and imperfection of core functions. In addition, relevant suggestions are put forward for the problems faced by China’s mechanical garlic sowing equipment: develop garlic sowing mechanization equipment according to local conditions, promote standardized garlic planting agronomy, improve the innovation ability of core components, and develop a garlic seeder to meet the agronomic requirements of the country.
