Short Summary
The course will allow participants to learn about the main precision farming technologies, both in the field of intensive and extensive farming, dedicated to the massive acquisition of data, ideally on individual animals, to improve decision-making by the different actors. of the sector in order to improve production efficiency, environmental impact and animal health and welfare. The course will present existing solutions at a commercial level and the main lines of research and innovation in the pre-commercial phase. In addition, the procedures for collecting, transmitting and analyzing data from sensors will be critically evaluated, in order to establish the advantages and limits of the different technologies, allowing students to select the most appropriate technologies for each case in the exercise of their work. professional
