A key challenge facing farmers is how monitoring the health and well being of the animals changes with increasing farm size. Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) is a modern approach to farm livestock production using technologies for automatic monitoring and control of processes typically done manually in the past. Continuous, fully automated monitoring and improvement of animal health, welfare, productivity and the environmental impact become a reality by applying this technology.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/prairieswine.com\/rsc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Designing-precision-livestock-farming-to-support-a-future-of-sustainable-pig-production-6.pdf\">Designing precision livestock farming to support a future of sustainable pig production<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A key question now is how farmers can \u00a0can manage their ever growing production systems to achieve high quality, sustainable and safe meat production that can meet this demand. \u00a0Recent studies have indicated that achieving scale dependent \u00a0benefits in agriculture requires new production technologies.
