ExampleScientists talking about PLF

“The purpose of Precision Livestock Farming is to have a continuous monitoring of livestock, in time, at every moment, in a fully automated way. So this means that we monitor pigs, chickens, cows, goats, ... continously, day and night, with modern information technology. Like we also will do for humans, with wearable technology.

There are cameras, microphones, sensors around or on the animals, looking or listening to the animals.

This continuous fully automated monitoring is used to see how the animal performs and will be used to manage the animals when they need support. »

(Daniel Berckmans, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, 2015, excerpts)

“I think the purpose of Precision Livestock Farming is to make farming more efficient.” (Isabelle Veissier, INRA, France, 2015, excerpts)
