Precision Livestock Farming, PLF

To keep in pace with increasing demands on profitability and sustainable production, a rapid rationalization of labor is evident in animal husbandry.

More animals should be managed by fewer people and we'll be relied more and more on automated systems to measure the consumption, production and function. We replace the human animal eye with cameras and calculate deviations with algorithms. This surveillance and automatization in animal production is called Precision Livestock Farming (PLS).

Although a good eye for animal management is difficult to replace, our group tries to remain at the forefront of the development of systems for monitoring animal welfare and health automatically.
