This comprehensive collection showcases five peer-reviewed literature reviews on the emerging field of sensor technologies in livestock monitoring. In the opening chapter, the authors delve into the development of on-animal sensors as a powerful tool for monitoring a diverse range of livestock species. They also address the challenges associated with their deployment in commercial livestock management operations.
The second chapter focuses on the utilization of wearable technologies, particularly accelerometers, to monitor the welfare of poultry. The authors explore how these sensors can effectively track vital signs and behaviors, providing valuable insights into bird health and welfare. Additionally, they examine the impact of these sensors on bird behavior and well-being.
The third chapter offers a detailed overview of recent advancements in techniques for monitoring dairy cow health and welfare. The authors discuss the development of diagnostic tools and sensor technologies that enable automated, continuous monitoring of livestock. This approach not only enhances animal welfare but also improves farm efficiency and productivity.
The fourth chapter delves into the potential of precision livestock farming (PLF) technology to monitor dairy cattle welfare in alignment with the Five Domains framework. The authors explore how PLF can positively impact each of the five domains: nutrition, environment, health, behavior, and mental state. They discuss how PLF can optimize animal nutrition, reduce environmental impact, improve health outcomes, promote positive behavior, and enhance mental well-being.
The concluding chapter examines recent advances in technologies for monitoring key indicators of pig welfare. The authors consider good feeding, good housing, good health, and appropriate behavior as essential components of pig welfare. They discuss how these factors can be monitored using sensor technologies, enabling farmers to optimize animal care and improve overall pig productivity.
Overall, this collection provides a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers interested in advancing the use of sensor technologies in livestock monitoring. By exploring the development, applications, and potential benefits of these technologies, the authors contribute to the improvement of animal welfare, farm efficiency, and sustainable agriculture.
