Abstract

Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools are revolutionising pig production with various technologies, such as sensors, data analytics, and monitoring systems. These tools enable real-time and continuous monitoring of pig health, behaviour and production parameters. ICT tools, including advanced data analysis algorithms and decision support systems, interpret the collected data and assist in making informed management decisions. By optimizing critical aspects of pig production, including feed management, environmental control, disease detection, and overall herd health management, these technologies are paving the way for a more profitable and sustainable future in precision livestock farming. The result is improved feed efficiency, reduced environmental impact, enhanced animal welfare, and increased profitability, offering a promising outlook for the industry.
