From tradition to technology: harnessing precision livestock farming for advancing rural economies in developing countries

Abstract

Precision livestock farming (PLF) presents a promising avenue for improving livestock management in developing countries. By harnessing the capabilities of sensors and data analysis, PLF equips farmers with the tools to make informed decisions, optimize production systems, and enhance animal welfare. Nevertheless, the ethical dimensions of PLF adoption and the need to ensure equitable access to technology remain essential considerations in the pursuit of sustainable and efficient livestock farming practices in developing nations.
