Egy precíziós állattartási projekt tapasztalatai

Abstract

SUMMARY The Department of Animal Hygiene, Herd Health and Veterinary Ethology took part in a European FP7 project between November 2012 and November 2014. The goal of the project was to test the applicability of different precision livestock farming technologies in swine herd environment. The tested technologies were: cough detection system, animal activity quantification system, feeder level daily feed consumption measuring system, mean body weight estimation system, a barn air parameter measuring system. The authors summarize their experiences about the tested technologies and formulate considerations that can be useful for practitioner veterinarians and farmers regarding utilization of other precision livestock farming systems as well.
