Nowadays one can observe the penetration of digitalization into almost all spheres of life: political, social, economic, educational. Agriculture is not an exception. Russian government considers digital transformation in general and agriculture in particular to be one of the indispensable national goals. The ultimate goal of introducing digital changes is guaranteeing the RF entry into the top five largest economies in the world. Agriculture in RF has various branches where animal husbandry plays and important role in ensuring food security. Consequently, the issue of introducing digitalization into livestock farming as a less advanced industry is rather relevant. Digital data is becoming a key factor in the livestock industry. This data can be obtained from various devices, in particular from biometric sensors, big data and blockchain technology. Precision Livestock farming (PLF) technologies enable non-invasive sampling, helping farmers and researchers to obtain realistic indicators to solve welfare problems. The received and processed data allow obtaining information having new quality characteristics, searching for and finding patterns and models for agricultural successful modernization, minimizing risks of losses, forecasting using modern methods of big data processing, optimizing production costs. PLF technologies can also contribute to a reduction in resource use. They will definitely facilitate individualistic approach and a more proactive to animal health. Such an approach will ultimately reduce the need for medicines, especially the use of antibiotics. The use of innovative solutions was noted, in particular, the use of automated technologies, robotic systems, computerized programs, applications that contribute to the growth of productivity and the production of livestock products.
