Precision Livestock Farming Applications (PLF) for Grazing Animals

Over the past four decades dietary needs of global population have been elevated, with increased consumption animal products predominately due to advancing economies South America and Asia. As a result, livestock production systems expanded in size, considerable changes animals’ management. grazing animals are commonly grown herds, economic labour constraints limit ability producer individually assess every animal. Precision Livestock Farming refers real-time continuous monitoring control using sensors computer algorithms for early problem detection, while simultaneously increasing awareness concerning individual needs. These technologies include automatic weighing systems, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) detection behaviour monitoring, body temperature geographic information (GIS) pasture evaluation optimization, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) herd management, virtual fencing Although some commercial available, mainly cattle, adoption these is limited cultural poor technological infrastructure. This review presents discusses PLF applications proposes future research strategies improve utilization today’s extensive systems.
