Precision livestock farming: essence and application in large and small ruminants. Review
Yovka Popova, Stayka Laleva, Magdalena Oblakova, Nikolay Ivanov, Ivan Slavov, Nedka Dimova
Abstract: In the new program period 2021-2027, the strategic goal for the development of European agriculture is defined as "stimulating and sharing knowledge, innovation, digitization and promoting their use to a greater extent".
The increasing number of animals on farms, the requirements for humane treatment and environmental protection, as well as the implementation of production systems with limited use of resources require new solutions that can be found in digital technologies used throughout the livestock system.
Precision livestock farming involves the use of digital technologies. It aims to improve production and reproduction, animal welfare and facilitate targeted use of resources to reduce the impact on the environment and human health by precisely controlling processes.
The implementation of PLF depends on: socio-demographic factors, size of the farm, production system, specialization of the farm, type of animals, animal husbandry technology, age of the farmer, country and region, etc.
Keywords: cattlebreeding; digitalization; Precision Livestock Farming; sheepbreeding
