Abstract

Abstract This article presents a systematic literature review of recent works on the use of machine learning (ML) in precision livestock farming (PLF), focusing on two areas of interest: grazing and animal health. This review: (i) highlights opportunities for ML in the livestock sector; (ii) shows the current sensors, software and techniques for data analysis; (iii) details the increasing openness of data sources. It was found that the use of ML in PLF is in a stage of development and has several research challenges. Examples of such challenges are: (i) to develop hybrid models for diagnosis and prescription as a tool for the prevention and control of animal diseases; (ii) to bring together the grazing and animal health issues; (iii) to give autonomy to PLF using autonomous cycles of data analysis tasks and meta-learning; and (iv) to bring together soil and pasture variables because, for both, animal health and animal grazing, the variables used are only behavioral and environmental.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
