Preview Precision Livestock Farming
Precision Precision Livestock presents the latest scientific results from P worldwide research, field studies and practical application. The book r e contains peer-reviewed papers that were presented at the 1st c European Conference on Precision Livestock Farming. i s The papers focus on physiological identification and monitoring of i o animals, on farm and in transit, and on the operation of automatic n milking systems. Major objectives are secure methods of animal Livestock L identification for trace ability; animal welfare and hygiene. The i economic and health effects of implementing precision livestock v e husbandry are featured in many of them. s This first conference was held in parallel with the 4th European t o Conference on Precision Agriculture - the links between both c technologies were drawn and the possible interactions between them k Farming were shown for the first time. The potential is to integrate both F technologies to encompass the whole farm. Peer-reviewed papers a from the Precision Agriculture conference are presented in a r m companion proceedings, Precision Agriculture. i n g ISBN 9076998221 Edited by Wageningen Academic S.
