Evolution and use of Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) technologies in dairy cattle herd-health management

Abstract

The rising demand for animal-derived products, has made it increasingly difficult for farmers to manage herd-health, using only traditional methods. PLF has emerged as a transformative approach to modern livestock farming [1]. The technological revolutions from Industry 1.0 to 4.0 have enabled PLF to monitor livestock through various sensors, while tracking multiple animal variables [7].
