未来15年，全球对肉类和动物产品的需求预计将至少增长40%。第一个问题是如何实现高质量、可持续和安全的肉类生产，以满足这一需求。与此同时，畜牧业生产目前也面临着严重的问题。与食品安全和人类健康相关的动物健康问题日益受到关注。欧盟希望改善动物福利，并在这方面进行了大量投资。与此同时，畜牧业对环境的影响也是一个重大问题。最后，有必要问一问，作为这一过程的核心人物，农民将如何通过更可持续的畜牧生产系统谋生。一个可能提供真正机会的工具是精准畜牧业（PLF）。与以前的方法不同，PLF系统旨在提供一个实时监测和管理系统，该系统的重点是通过在出现问题时发出警告，从而改善动物的生活，以便农民立即采取行动。对动物健康和福利、产品产量和环境影响的持续、全自动监测和改进应该成为可能。本文介绍了已经开发的系统示例，以展示该技术的潜在好处。
The worldwide demand for meat and animal products is expected to increase by at least 40% in the next 15 years. The first question is how to achieve high-quality, sustainable and safe meat production that can meet this demand. At the same time, livestock production is currently facing serious problems. Concerns about animal health in relation to food safety and human health are increasing. The European Union wants improved animal welfare and has made a significant investment in it. At the same time, the environmental impact of the livestock sector is a major issue. Finally, it is necessary to ask how the farmer, who is the central figure in this process, will make a living from more sustainable livestock production systems. One tool that might provide real opportunities is precision livestock farming (PLF). In contrast to previous approaches, PLF systems aim to offer a real-time monitoring and management system that focuses on improving the life of the animals by warning when problems arise so that the farmer may take immediate action. Continuous, fully automatic monitoring and improvement of animal health and welfare, product yields and environmental impacts should become possible. This paper presents examples of systems that have already been developed in order to demonstrate the potential benefits of this technology.
