- Main conclusions
  - PLF is a tool that contributes to a better sustainability of animal production
  - PLF brings the attention of the farmer to the individual animal that needs it
  - This is achieved through a fully automated and continuous monitoring
  - The signal from the monitoring devices is then processed to information useful for decision making
  - Implementing PLF in commercial products is a procedure with several steps
  - Business models for PLF technology must be developed
- Future trends

PLF brings the attention of the farmer to the individual animal that needs it

PLF technology monitors all animals
The software is able to determine which animals have a problem (e.g. those who are coughing)
A warning can then be sent to the farmer so that (s)he can pay particular attention to them
