Livestock farming, long considered the backbone of global agriculture, is undergoing a major transformation. As demand for meat, dairy, and other animal products rises alongside concerns about sustainability, welfare, and efficiency, agriculturalists are looking toward innovation to shape the future.
A New era of smart livestock farming
Technology is revolutionizing livestock management. Smart farming tools are helping agriculturalists increase productivity, monitor animal health, and minimize environmental impacts with precision and efficiency.
Precision Livestock Farming (PLF)
PLF refers to the use of sensors, data analytics, and automation to monitor animals in real-time. These tools collect vital data such as:
- Body temperature
- Feed and water intake
- Movement and behavior
- Milk production and quality
With this data, farmers can detect early signs of illness, optimize breeding programs, and reduce resource waste.
