Precision Livestock Farming
Precision Livestock Farming is the use of advanced technologies to monitor animal behaviour, characteristics, or other parameters in animals’ surroundings aiming to determine the health, wellbeing, reproductive, or productive status of animals. It is a management support tool which provides 24/7 monitoring of the farm and can measure parameters which cannot be detected even by the best farmers’ eye. It often provides farms with early-warning systems before any clinical signs of illness appear, allowing for early intervention in health problems to help limit the need for antibiotic treatments.
