Precision livestock management systems

The project will help prepare an innovative animal production management system for commercialisation. The system will be based on technology developed by Associate Professor Thomas Banhazi through the Pork Cooperative Research Centre. The technology consists of software and hardware to automatically collect and analyse key production data, enabling optimal animal management. Use of the system will lead to production cost savings, with concurrent benefits of improved animal welfare and operator safety, as well as lower greenhouse gas emissions.
