Transforming ranching: Precision livestock management in the Internet of Things era

“…13,19,26,28,41,46 These efficiencies may translate into improved animal weight gains and reproductive performance, therefore improving economic benefits to ranchers. 7,54 Furthermore, on-animal sensors can improve the early detection of animal ailments in targeted individuals, hence, reducing animal suffering and losses while reducing antimicrobial resistance by minimizing the application of prophylactic medication. 13,15,26,41,46…”

Design thinking for responsible Agriculture 4.0 innovations in rangelands

“…The R&D team uses feedback from the four ranches along with the continued input gathered in relation to their use on the Jornada. 50 These interactions have helped the R&D team anticipate impacts, and the expertise of the team has increased its responsiveness. Additionally, the project has contracted an external assessment team helping to provide reflexive guidance during group meetings about the implementation of the dashboard.…”

Mapping Welfare: Location Determining Techniques and Their Potential for Managing Cattle Welfare—A Review

“…GNSS data offer the possibility to monitor animal behaviour, such as foraging, walking and resting, with an accuracy ranging from 57 to 87.5% depending on the circumstances [55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62]. However, the potential of GNSS for behavioural monitoring might benefit from combination with other sensors such as accelerometers [63][64][65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72].…”
