Precision Farming : Enhancing Livestock Management

Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) integrates various technologies into cohesive systems to monitor livestock in real-time and on an individual basis. It utilizes single or multiple tools to ensure precise monitoring, allowing farmers to track animal health, behaviour, nutrition and environmental conditions with accuracy and immediacy, in both intensive and extensive systems. This approach has the potential to optimize farming practices, enhance animal welfare, and contribute to more efficient and sustainable livestock production.

In this webinar, Xabier Diaz de Otalora Aguirre, Postdoc Researcher at the Insititute of Animal Science and Technology at the Polytechnic University of Valencia and Michael Nørremark, Senior Researcher at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Aarhus University presented PLF systems, how these technologies tackle problems that have been traditionally difficult to manage on farms and gave examples of farmers adaptation of agri-tech and digital solutions.
The webinar was moderated by Daiana de Oliveira, Professor in Farm Animal Welfare, Department of Biology and Environmental Science, Faculty of Health and Life Sciences, Linnaeus University, Sweden.
