Precision Livestock Farming: at the farmers service
Precision Livestock Farming systems use sensors and software to give alarms, feedback and advice to the farmer to generate immediate actions for solving problems.
Definition : In view of the farmers
The farmer has to take care of higher number of animals while he cannot spend more time.
Precision Livestock Farming can offer a solution. By using different sensors (microphones, microchip, video...), Precision Livestock Farming software integrates data and delivers useful information to the farmer. For example, it can create alarms on smartphone if problems appear on animals.
Note : Farmers talking about PLF
"To help us keep a close watch on our cows since we have a lot of cows and we can't check every individual animal at every moment"(Dairy farmer, 2015, excerpts)
“Now I understand the behaviour of my animals better, Broiler farmer, 2016”
"I think that Precision Livestock Farming has changed what I need to do by allowing me to only focus on the chickens when I am in the chicken shed and to focus on data and details when I am in the office or at my desk" (Broiler farmer, 2015, excerpts)
