DEFINITION: Precision livestock farming (PLF) for pigs refers to the application of sensor technologies, automated data collection, and data-driven decision-support systems to continuously monitor and manage pig production at the level of individuals or groups. The main objective of PLF is to improve animal health, welfare, productivity, and environmental sustainability by enabling timely and targeted interventions based on real-time information. In pig production systems, PLF integrates biological data from animals with information on housing conditions, feeding systems, and technical infrastructure, transforming large data streams into actionable insights for farmers and veterinarians.
