“…The same device is also capable of providing quantitative information on both ewe and ram sexual behaviour [117]. Other sensors, such as accelerometers [118] and thermographic cameras [119,120], have been used to track the reproductive characteristics of rams as well as ewes.…”

Precision livestock farming (PLF) has spread to various countries worldwide since its inception in 2003, though it has yet to be widely adopted. Additionally, the advent of Industry 4.0 and the Internet of Things (IoT) have enabled a continued advancement and development of PLF. This modern technological approach to animal farming and production encompasses ethical, economic and logistical aspects. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of PLF and Industry 4.0, to identify current applications of this rather novel approach in different farming systems for food producing animals, and to present up to date knowledge on the subject. Current scientific literature regarding the spread and application of PLF and IoT shows how efficient farm animal management systems are destined to become. Everyday farming practices (feeding and production performance) coupled with continuous and real-time monitoring of animal parameters can have significant impacts on welfare and health assessment, which are current themes of public interest. In the context of feeding a rising global population, the agri-food industry and industry 4.0 technologies may represent key features for successful and sustainable development.

“…An increase of more than 2.33 0 C was found in thermal images made due to hyperemia in the vulva in Chinchillas during the estrus period (Polit et al, 2018). Similarly, IRT can determine the vulvar temperature increase during estrus in rabbits and other livestock (Osawa et al, 2004;De Freitas et al, 2018;Façanha et al, 2018). However, it was also stated that perivulvar temperature measurements were not successful in pregnancy diagnosis in cows (Radigonda et al, 2017).…”

“…Moreover, the distinction between pregnant and pseudopregnant pandas could be performed (Durrant et al, 2006). It is also effective in detecting estrus and determining the appropriate insemination time with IRT in the farm animals, dogs, and chinchillas (Osawa et al, 2004;Sykes et al, 2006;Talukder et al, 2015;Olğaç et al, 2017;De Freitas et al, 2018;Façanha et al, 2018). Although many IRT results belong to different species in literature, limited data are seen about the rabbits.…”

In the present study, the diagnostic efficiency of infrared thermography (IRT) implementation in pseudopregnant rabbits, the change of these images in the pseudopregnancy process, and its relationship with serum progesterone (P4) levels were examined. Fourteen healthy female rabbits of New Zealand breed were divided into two study groups. Pseudopregnancy induction was performed in the first study group with GnRH injection (0.2 ml Buserelin acetate, intramuscularly) on the 0 th day of the study (Group 1, n=7). The second group (Group 2, n=7) was given placebo (0.2 ml 0.9% NaCl, intramuscularly). Rectal temperature was taken from all rabbits on days 0-5-10 and 15; eye, nasal tip, and vulvar IRT were applied; and serum P4 values were measured by Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method. In the pseudopregnant group, the temperatures of the eyes, nose, and vulva were higher on the 10 th day (P<0.05). While time-dependent eye, nose, vulva, and rectal temperature changes were observed in the pseudopregnant group (P <0.05), it was not observed in the control group (P>0.05). The increase in rectal temperature was only on the 15 th day in the pseudopregnant group (P<0.001). Serum P4 value was high on day 0 in Group 1 (P<0.05), but no change was observed in both groups over time (P>0.05). A significant correlation was observed between the serum P4 value and rectal temperature and the groups (r=-0.32, P<0.05; r=0.35, P<0.01). A significant difference was determined between nasal temperature and rectal temperature (r=0.28, P<0.05). As a result, IRT implementation in rabbits; It was determined that it is useful in noninvasive and rapid monitoring of body temperature and can determine the temperature increase in the eyes, nose and vulva on the 10th day of pseudopregnancy.

Although the effects of human–dairy cattle interaction have been extensively examined, data concerning small ruminants are scarce. The present review article aims at highlighting the effects of management practices on the productivity, physiology and behaviour of dairy animals. In general, aversive handling is associated with a milk yield reduction and welfare impairment. Precision livestock farming systems have therefore been applied and have rapidly changed the management process with the introduction of technological and computer innovations that contribute to the minimization of animal disturbances, the promotion of good practices and the maintenance of cattle’s welfare status and milk production and farms’ sustainability and competitiveness at high levels. However, although dairy farmers acknowledge the advantages deriving from the application of precision livestock farming advancements, a reluctance concerning their regular application to small ruminants is observed, due to economic and cultural constraints and poor technological infrastructures. As a result, targeted intervention training programmes are also necessary in order to improve the efficacy and efficiency of handling, especially of small ruminants.
