Precision Farming Technologies for Monitoring Livestock and Poultry

The Reprint "Precision Farming Technologies for Monitoring Livestock and Poultry" presents recent advances in sensing, data analytics, and intelligent systems that are transforming animal agriculture. Precision technologies are enabling continuous, objective, and automated monitoring of animal health, welfare, behavior, and productivity across livestock and poultry systems. Innovations in sensors, Internet-of-Things applications, computer vision, machine learning, robotics, and edge computing are shifting management from periodic observation to real-time, data-driven decision-making. This Reprint collects research and review articles on new technologies and their use on farms. The articles focus on health and disease detection, monitoring welfare and behavior, precision feeding, nutrient management, environmental monitoring, and robotic or automated systems. The main goal is to highlight solutions that are scalable, reliable, and affordable, helping to boost productivity while also supporting sustainability and animal welfare. By combining engineering, animal science, and data science, this Reprint shows how precision farming technologies can improve decision-making, make better use of resources, and help modern livestock and poultry systems become more resilient.
