Precision feeding

Using sensing technologies and smart machines, precision livestock feeding aims to match nutrient supply precisely with the nutrient requirements of individual animals, based on real-time feedback from the sensors.

Sensor data allows for precise estimation of nutrient requirements of each animal in real-time, to be delivered immediately to that animal by a capable machine. Precision livestock feeding can help improve resource use efficiencies for the farmer, ensure better economic returns, and help to reduce excretion to the environment, while ensuring good nutrition of the animals.
