Precision livestock farming has a crucial function as farming grows in significance. It will help farmers make better decisions, alter their roles and perspectives as farmers and managers, and allow for the tracking and monitoring of product quality and animal welfare as mandated by the government and industry. Farmers can improve productivity, sustainability, and animal care by gaining a deeper understanding of their farm systems as a result of the increased use of data generated by smart farming equipment. Automation and robots in agriculture have the potential to play a significant role in helping society fulfill its future demands for food supply. These technologies have already enabled significant cost reductions in production, as well as reductions in the amount of intensive manual labor, improvements in product quality, and enhancements in environmental management. Wearable sensors can monitor eating, rumination, rumen pH, rumen temperature, body temperature, laying behavior, animal activity, and animal position or placement. Detachable or imprinted biosensors that are adaptable and enable remote data transfer might be highly important in this quickly growing industry. There are already multiple gadgets to evaluate illnesses such as ketosis or mastitis in cattle. The objective evaluation of sensor methods and systems employed on the farm is one of the difficulties presented by the implementation of modern technologies on dairy farms. The availability of sensors and high-precision technology for real-time monitoring of cattle raises the question of how to objectively evaluate the contribution of these technologies to the long-term viability of farms (productivity, health monitoring, welfare evaluation, and environmental effects). This review focuses on biosensing technologies that have the potential to change early illness diagnosis, management, and operations for livestock.
随着养殖的重要性日益增加,精准畜牧养殖发挥着关键作用。它将帮助农民做出更好的决策,改变他们作为农民和管理者的角色与观念,并能够按照政府和行业的要求对产品质量和动物福利进行跟踪与监测。通过更多地利用智能养殖设备生成的数据,农民能够更深入地了解其农场系统,从而提高生产力、可持续性并改善动物护理。农业中的自动化和机器人在帮助社会满足未来粮食供应需求方面有潜力发挥重要作用。这些技术已经在降低生产成本、减少高强度体力劳动量、提高产品质量以及加强环境管理方面取得了显著成效。可穿戴传感器能够监测进食、反刍、瘤胃pH值、瘤胃温度、体温、产蛋行为、动物活动以及动物位置或摆放情况。可适配且能实现远程数据传输的可拆卸或嵌入式生物传感器在这个快速发展的行业中可能极为重要。目前已经有多种设备用于评估牛的酮病或乳腺炎等疾病。在奶牛场应用现代技术所面临的困难之一是对农场使用的传感器方法和系统进行客观评估。用于实时监测牛的传感器和高精度技术的出现引发了一个问题,即如何客观评估这些技术对农场长期生存能力(生产力、健康监测、福利评估以及环境影响)的贡献。本综述聚焦于有可能改变家畜早期疾病诊断、管理及运营的生物传感技术。
