Precision Livestock Farming '07
Precision Livestock Farming '07
Author: S. CoxPrecision livestock farming '07 contains the latest scientific results from worldwide research, field studies and practical applications. The peer-reviewed papers were presented at the 3rd European Conference on Precision Livestock Farming.
The major topics in this book are:
- Feed quality management
- Sensor technology in animal husbandry
- Environmental effects of precision livestock farming
- Automation in livestock farming
- Implementation, education and training
The wide range of research topics reported will be a valuable resource for researchers, advisors, teachers and professionals in agriculture long after the conference has finished.
