doi: 10.1016/j.compag.2019.05.013, Chagneau, A. M., Laviron, F., Lamy, S., Bouvarel, I., Picard, M., Lessire, M., et al. Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) is a collective name for a suite of technologies that we use on and around the animals in the house to continuously monitor their body condition. 28, 592–598. Most commercially available technologies appear to apply to cattle, but they can also be found for pigs, poultry, as well as for sheep and fish (Table 4). The Rise of Precision Agriculture To balance feeding the planet with reducing global emissions, ambitious plans have been put in place. This increase in production may be achieved by a combination of expansion in animal numbers and increased productivity, which will be particularly important in the poultry and pig sector (Gilbert et al., 2015). Bookshelf 162, 767–772. Four 30 min keynote presentations (including questions and answers) and two, 1-h activities (including presentations of the outcomes by the participants) allowed the participants to discuss current developments in PLF for several species (from proof-of-concepts to commercially available technologies), their benefits, potential challenges (to animal welfare and beyond) and solutions. For example, when the aim was to determine whether a technology could accurately detect walking and lying patterns, the technology was placed into the “activity” category within the “behavioral interactions” domain. The search revealed 793 research articles in total. Comp. The notion of animal welfare is complex to define and, while the focus has long revolved around minimizing negative experiences such as pain and suffering, studies in animal behavior and neuroscience have led scientists to highlight the importance of positive affects in animal welfare (Boissy et al., 2007; Yeates and Main, 2008). doi: 10.1098/rspb.2015.2323, Corbet, N. J., Patison, K. P., Menzies, D. J., and Swain, D. L. (2018). This is likely due to the lack of evidence related to the validity of positive welfare indicators as well as challenges in technology adoption and development. Human Contact. The first question is how to achieve high-quality, sustainable and safe meat production that can meet this demand. 75, 313–320. J. Agricult.

Detection of aggressive behaviours in pigs using a RealSence depth sensor. (2006). 192, 56–71. Electr. They are also available to monitor heating and ventilation in pig and poultry barns, while image-based systems using animal postures or distribution are still in early development stages (P1 to P2) (Shao et al., 1997; Xin, 1999; Kashiha et al., 2013b). This complexity may explain why a wide range of PLF technologies still require further validation. Edwards, D. S., and Johnston, A. M. (1999). doi: 10.1016/j.applanim.2009.09.005, Manteuffel, C., Hartung, E., Schmidt, M., Hoffmann, G., and Schön, P. C. (2015). Comp. 102, 9176–86. Anim. In the UK, while livestock numbers remained stable between 2018 and 2019, the labor force on commercial holdings decreased by 0.3% (DEFRA, 2019). 49, 313–327. (2019). Brown, D. J., Swan, A. According to Horseman et al. 102, 690–695.

The greatest technology push has been in precision agriculture (or site-specific management, SSM)—where sensing, information technologies, and mechanical systems enable sub-field crop management. 121, 96–102. (2007). Similarly, a technology monitoring water intake would have been suggested to have a possible impact on the associated negative affect “thirst.” Where there were many affects associated with specific factors, only a few examples were suggested to avoid lengthy paragraphs. In some cases, the automatic detection of estrus, whilst mostly beneficial for productivity, could reduce the need for stressful handling (e.g., in pigs), hence potentially addressing negative affective states such as anxiety or fearfulness. doi: 10.3168/jds.2016-12055, Strutzke, S., Fiske, D., Hoffmann, G., Ammon, C., Heuwieser, W., and Amon, T. (2019). In addition, monitoring animal distribution can also indicate welfare compromises or equipment malfunctions (e.g., heating or ventilation systems) (Kashiha et al., 2013b). Technology and responsibility: a discussion of underexamined risks and concerns in precision livestock farming. This loss of interactions and therefore further detached relationship with animals (which may be more and more perceived as production tools) could result in a decrease in empathy and reduced concerns toward animal suffering. Eng. On the other hand, habituation, early positive contact and genetic dispositions can be important factors to influence the quality of the HAR (Mota-Rojas et al., 2020). When several papers addressed a similar application with a similar type of technology, only the highest category was shown. (2018). (2016). 2019 Feb 15;7:403-425. doi: 10.1146/annurev-animal-020518-114851. In addition, PLF could also allow monitoring larger numbers of animals more easily (e.g., using wearable sensors to monitor health status or smart cameras to monitor larger groups), including on extensive systems where the detection of sick or injured animals is often difficult (Rutter, 2014), as well as reducing potential stress resulting from repeated handling and moving of animals (e.g., manual weight detection in pigs) (Kashiha et al., 2014). 173, 93–102. Powered by reliable, solar powered cameras and robust artificial intelligence, the system provides, Direct staff savings and mistake reduction. doi: 10.1016/j.compag.2018.07.007, Pastell, M., Hietaoja, J., Yun, J., Tiusanen, J., and Valros, A. Application of engineering techniques in livestock farming to monitor, model, and manage animal production is called precision livestock farming (PLF). For example, studies found that young broiler chickens exposed to positive human contact had greater growth rates, and that positive attitudes were associated with more use of positive behaviors (Gross and Siegel, 1979; Lensink et al., 2000). Res. This site needs JavaScript to work properly. Sci. Its aim is to increase the farmer’s ability to keep contact with individual animals in the growing livestock production intensification (Vranken and Berckmans 2017). Inconsistent bunk scores and subjective evaluations of cattle behavior make it hard to optimize cattle feeding. What is Precision Feed Technologies's tech stack? Rev. For example, the applications related to “feed intake,” “grazing,” “jaw movements,” “rumination,” or “bites” were all grouped into the “feeding behavior” category. Introducing breathlessness as a significant animal welfare issue. 96, 229–233. During the first activity, participants were asked to discuss up to five commercially available and up to five “promising” PLF technologies that have the most potential to improve animal welfare for their selected species, and to qualitatively discuss the chosen technologies' potential benefits to welfare. Special Eurobarometer 442: Attitudes of Europeans Towards Animal Welfare. Using the footfall sound of dairy cows for detecting claw lesions. (2018).

Disease prevention is especially important in livestock farming. 148, 21–27. In the cattle feedlot industry, PLT’s machine vision system provides decision support to optimize of the key drivers of feedlot profitability while increasing quality, reducing labor shortages, and identifying sick animals. Indoor Built Environ. Agricult. While precision agriculture is mainly targeted at the arable farm, livestock and mixed farms can still benefit from the big data era of farming. Income disparities and the global distribution of intensively farmed chicken and pigs. However, studies suggest that positive affective states relating to most survival-related factors are usually short-lived (Mellor and Beausoleil, 2015), hence these technologies may mainly have an impact on the negative-to-neutral valence range. Smart Farming: The Future of Agriculture Technology. In aquaculture, image-based systems can allow the detection of sea lice, and sensors and cameras can estimate fish growth. (2007). This book brings together a team of leading pig welfare research scientists to review the natural history of the pig, the welfare of pigs at different stages of life and to indicate what the future holds in terms of pig welfare. Animals 10, 1–12. Copyright © 2021 Schillings, Bennett and Rose. While these technologies could be beneficial for the detection of welfare compromises, the interpretation of the data must be done carefully, as management decisions made at group level could be detrimental for the welfare of those individuals whose needs differ from others (e.g., different nutrition or treatment requirements).

Domestic animals' fear of humans and its effect on their welfare. What are the positives? Animal play and animal welfare. Trans. It could be argued that, while positive animal welfare has gained increased attention in animal welfare science, further research is still required regarding the feasibility, validity and reliability of positive welfare indicators, making their current applicability within welfare assessment protocols difficult. On-farm PA evaluation, monitoring and technical support to 40 farms; workshops and case studies. After manual selection of papers which we considered relevant to our study, we retained 247 papers. Royal Soc. The automatic monitoring of pigs water use by cameras. 39, 115–122. Classification under the first four physical domains was based on the parameters monitored by the technologies (e.g., technologies monitoring feeding behaviors were classified into the “nutrition” domain, while technologies monitoring lameness were classified under the “health” domain). 117, 1–7. doi: 10.1016/j.compag.2014.03.010, Vigors, B., and Lawrence, A.

This report aims to identify the different scenarios where the process of digital transformation is taking place in agriculture. (2020, p. 5) argue, “If it is to make a substantive contribution to addressing genuine animal welfare concerns, PLF technology must therefore address […] the effective monitoring and identification of systemic welfare failures and the active enhancement of opportunities for positive welfare experiences.”. The search was conducted between February and April 2020. However, moving toward a positive welfare state requires opportunities to live positive experiences. doi: 10.3965/j.ijabe.20160906.1568, Zhang, G., Zhang, Y., Kim, Y., Kim, J., Liu, L., Yu, X., et al.

The agricultural sector, commonly known as being the backbone of many countries’ economic growth and development, has received its share of changes following the adoption of technology in agriculture. Automatic recording of individual oestrus vocalisation in group-housed dairy cattle: development of a cattle call monitor. 145, 298–301. The monitoring of drinking and feeding behaviors (which includes grazing, ruminating, jaw movements, chewing, or feed intake), and gastrointestinal health were the main applications related to the “nutrition” domain (Table 2). Hexagon | NovAtel has confirmed that its SMART7 GNSS receiver has been selected as the default configuration choice for Fendt precision agriculture machines that are equipped with Fendt Guide guidance systems powered by the Fuse Smart Farming digital platform. Similarly, some applications were grouped within categories. 23, 708–714. The burgeoning research and applications of technological advances are launching the development of precision livestock farming. They also mentioned concerns that having to manage an increased amount of data may reduce the time farmers spend with animals and impact farmers' observational skills. 25, 577–582. Front. The different technologies found using the above methods were classified by the first author of this paper with the help of the co-authors and a colleague (expert in the fields of agricultural technologies and animal welfare) in tables according to their type (e.g., image, sensors, sound, RFID, bolus), their application (e.g., detection of lameness or estrus) and their development stage categories. J. Sens. Precision Feed Technologies’s headquarters are in 31702 Charter Ln, Waller, Texas, 77484, United States. Anim. In cattle, systems have been developed to monitor agonistic behaviors based on sensors (Foris et al., 2019), while image-based technologies can monitor mounting behaviors (Chung et al., 2015; Guo et al., 2019) and social interactions (Guzhva et al., 2016), and accelerometers can estimate locomotor play in calves (Luu et al., 2013). (1999). Precision agriculture is an obvious change for the better for farming. Smart technologies for detecting animal welfare status and delivering health remedies for rangeland systems. Agricult. While survival-related affects reflect the animal's internal physiological state (e.g., thirst or hunger), situation-related affects reflect the animal's perception of its external circumstances (e.g., comfort, playfulness, depression, loneliness) (Mellor, 2015a). 173, 45–56. During the workshop, questions were raised as to whether the use of wearable sensors (or those placed inside the animals) could cause discomfort or potential injuries to the animals. Feasibility study for the implementation of an automatic system for the detection of social interactions in the waiting area of automatic milking stations by using a video surveillance system. Precision Livestock Farming and Farmers' Duties to Livestock. At a basic level, precision agriculture can include simple practices such as field scouting and the spot ap-plication of pesticides. Precision technologies—such as tractor guidance systems using a global positioning system (GPS), GPS soil and yield mapping, and variable-rate input applications (VRT)—help farms gather information on changing field conditions to adjust production practices. Table 4. The livestock sector is one of the largest industries on earth – with $1.3 trillion in assets occupying 30% of the terrestrial surface – but it is under-served by technology. N. Zeal. Biosci. Results were presented in the same way as for the first activity. J. Anim. The quantified animal: precision livestock farming and the ethical implications of objectification. Detection of cow mounting behavior using region geometry and optical flow characteristics. (2016). There is clear evidence that where precision agriculture is widely used, water and fertilizer use can go down by somewhere between 20 percent and 40 percent with no impact on yields, and even increased yield in some cases. In the speech, Sen. Fischer highlighted the importance of increasing the adoption of precision agriculture technologies for agriculture producers, rural communities, consumers and the environment. Environment and behavior 1: recent advances in assessment and management of heat stress in domestic animals assessing swine thermal comfort by image. A variety of systems using technologies such as sensors, cameras or microphones can directly alert farmers via connected devices (e.g., phones, computers, or tablets) about detected anomalies, thus allowing farmers to intervene at an early stage. The Dairy Industry and Precision Livestock Farming Developing precision livestock farming tools for precision dairy farming. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb. European Commission (2016).

Smart animal agriculture: application of real-time sensors to improve animal well-being and production. A., Arquet, R., and Bonneau, M. (2019). J. J. Tekird. This collection reviews recent advances in developing precision livestock technologies. The development stage categories were inspired by the Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) developed by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). Hot topic: automated assessment of reticulo-ruminal motility in dairy cows using 3-dimensional vision. (2015a). In fact, a recent study by Hexa Reports suggests precision agriculture is set to grow to $43.4 billion by 2025. For a concept that was born in the 1990s, that’s quite impressive. The increasing adoption rate of technology in agriculture shouldn’t be surprising to anyone. The classification into the different domains was based on the updated Five Domains Model (FDM) table developed by Mellor et al. Trans. Animal 14, 617–625. Most of the interviewed farmers considered that different positive welfare indicators such as social interaction or play did not require farmers' direct input or management (except from preventing negative interactions to occur, for example) but that those would happen as a result of other management-based inputs. Biosyst. Front. Other technologies have been developed to detect agonistic behaviors, as well as social interactions and maternal behaviors in pigs, cattle and poultry. J. Sociol. (2019). The future-ready SMART7 is highly suited to precision agriculture guidance applications, delivering excellent performance and reliability. A variety of technologies at different development stages monitor parameters related to the “health” domain, from specific diseases to foot health and stress, as well as physiological parameters such as heart rate or temperature. Ecol. Boluses placed in the reticulum can also be used to monitor estrus, calving and physiological factors such as body temperature or pH, and ear sensors can monitor temperature. This systematic monitoring allows certain patterns to be recognised.

Technologies in the P1 and P2 phases can monitor coughs in cattle (Carpentier et al., 2018) and sneezing in poultry using sound-based technologies (Carpentier et al., 2019). In their study e.g., Taneja et al. The technologies were assigned within three categories which are broadly comparable with TRLs: “proof-of-concept phase” (P1), “validation phase” (P2) and “commercialization phase” (P3). Many PLF technologies are based on animal activity patterns, such as lying, walking/swimming or standing. Found insideThis book addresses the major issues related to animal health and welfare maintenance in relation to their environment, as well as housing emissions and waste management. doi: 10.1136/vr.j3273, Mainau, E., Dalmau, A., Ruiz-de-la-Torre, J. L., and Manteca, X. (2019). Finally, the extent to which welfare can be improved will also strongly depend on whether management practices will be adapted to minimize negative consequences and maximize benefits to welfare.
