Keep in mind
Reminder :
This unit underlines the mains ideas you have to keep in mind during the whole course:
Solution: PLF is an potential solution
Technology: technology is just a tool, everything is possible. Technology can help to quantitatively measure and manage behaviour, health and performance of animals. We need to know how to use it correctly.
Time: time is critical. Statistical models have to be developed according to a real time and dynamic approach.
Collaboration: the challenge is to combine mathematical and animal science approaches.
Farmers are the key. Data belong to one person: the farmer! Nothing is possible if PLF doesn't match the reality of farmers' job and needs
Prior to learning more on PLF, basics on animal, livestock and the food chain are essential .
Follow unit 2 to match your skills.
