“…Precision feeding is a key component of PLF [ 60 ]. Based on real-time feedback from sensors [ 78 ], precision livestock feeding aims to provide to individuals or a group of animals with the amount of nutrients that maximizes its utilization without loss of performance [ 60 ]. Therefore, accurately and automatically measuring the amount of feed used per day per animal or distinct group of animals is extremely important [ 59 ].…”

In the last few decades, agriculture has played an important role in the worldwide economy. The need to produce more food for a rapidly growing population is creating pressure on crop and animal production and a negative impact to the environment. On the other hand, smart farming technologies are becoming increasingly common in modern agriculture to assist in optimizing agricultural and livestock production and minimizing the wastes and costs. Precision agriculture (PA) is a technology-enabled, data-driven approach to farming management that observes, measures, and analyzes the needs of individual fields and crops. Precision livestock farming (PLF), relying on the automatic monitoring of individual animals, is used for animal growth, milk production, and the detection of diseases as well as to monitor animal behavior and their physical environment, among others. This study aims to briefly review recent scientific and technological trends in PA and their application in crop and livestock farming, serving as a simple research guide for the researcher and farmer in the application of technology to agriculture. The development and operation of PA applications involve several steps and techniques that need to be investigated further to make the developed systems accurate and implementable in commercial environments.

“…Compared to pigs, the individual vs. flock based tailor-made feeding probably makes less improvement in farm efficiency, since a broiler flock due to its shorter lifetime has lower heterogeneity. Nevertheless, a next-generation system for providing a variety of nutrient specifications to tailor both the amount and composition of the feed to each bird's needs is being manufactured (Zuidhof, 2020).…”

“…Nutrient shortages and excesses can cause reproductive disturbance and influence reproductive performance [2,3]. The reproductive performance of livestock can be effectively improved by precisely satisfying the nutrient requirements of livestock at each reproductive stage [4]. Precise feeding patterns of functional amino acids during pregnancy have been found to benefit livestock placental and embryo development [5][6][7][8][9].…”

Fatty acids are not only widely known as energy sources, but also play important roles in many metabolic pathways. The significance of fatty acids in modulating the reproductive potential of livestock has received greater recognition in recent years. Functional fatty acids and their metabolites improve follicular development, oocyte maturation and embryo development, as well as endometrial receptivity and placental vascular development, through enhancing energy supply and precursors for the synthesis of their productive hormones, such as steroid hormones and prostaglandins. However, many studies are focused on the impacts of individual functional fatty acids in the reproductive cycle, lacking studies involved in deeper mechanisms and optimal fatty acid requirements for specific physiological stages. Therefore, an overall consideration of the combination and synergy of functional fatty acids and the establishment of optimal fatty acid requirement for specific stages is needed to improve reproductive potential in livestock.
