Application of Modern Techniques in Animal Production Sector for Human and Animal Welfare

Abstract

In this epoch, the tremendous increase in the world population accounts for the continuous supply of foodstuff. According to the FAO report, the global population is probable to cross the 9 billion in 2050. With constant population pressure, we are going to face the challenges of food shortage globally about agriculture. The animal production field provides a major share in the supply of foodstuff to compensate for the stress of food scarcity. By adopting the advanced technologies in the animal production field, its productivity can enhance significantly. Innovation in technology has made work easier with the development of different software and the internet. Technologic development made farmers work more contentedly hence, ultimately amplifying the animal production, proficiency, profitability as well as providing a prompt way for livestock sustainability. The animal production consists mainly of 8 factors including 3 major (animal breeding and genetics, animal nutrition, and reproductive performances) and 5 minor (health observation, farm management, water, manure, machinery, environment control, milking automation and electronic identification). The use of advanced technologies in these sectors is found to be fluent by intensifying the ratio of sustainable livestock farming and the welfare of mankind in terms of food security. In this review, innovative tactics and techniques for animal production are potted with positive research results and their drawbacks as well. The use of innovative technologies in their respective fields is close to taking control of whole world manufacturing under its hand to accomplish the world prerequisite regarding food scarcity.

A Retrospective Literature Evaluation of the Integration of Stress Physiology Indices, Animal Welfare and Climate Change Assessment of Livestock

“…Currently, the development of new-age technologies (e.g., remote sensing technology for reproductive and general health and well-being; artificial intelligence, [ 37 ] for the assessment of animal welfare and positive affective states (cognitive emotional well-being) has allowed animals to be assessed with greater ease than ever before [ 38 ].…”

Coping with Adversity: Resilience Dynamics of Livestock Farmers in Two Agroecological Zones of Ghana

“…Different sustainable strategies have been implemented in anticipation of adversities, in order to prevent or enable better responses to them, when populations are resilient including the use of green belts, reduced use of chemical fertilizers, and other new technologies [34]. Large-scale sustainable livestock production in advanced nations has relied on the adoption of new innovations that promote livestock productivity while reducing the effect on the environment [58,59]. However, the uptake of technologies that could promote sustainable livestock agriculture such as improved breeds, feeding, vaccination, and milk automation, among others, is slow in developing countries [60].…”

Iron Asseveration in Soil, Forage and Animals Blood and Feces Samples Collected from Different Districts of Punjab, Pakistan

“…Those nations who did not rely on grains as a source of fodder, on the other hand, would get 95 percent of their ruminant nutrition from roughage (Bulla et al, 1977). The main winter fodder is berseem (Ali et al, 2020).…”
