The course aims to provide knowledge about precision technology for Livestock production (Precision Livestock Farming, PLF) including its principles and frameworks, design and evaluation with a focus on end-user perspective and commercialisation. Contents The course deals with the practical applicability and integration of precision farming technology (PLF) into modern livestock production including the general theory behind PLF (the connection between individual responses of livestock to short- and long-term changes in the environment and the way sensors could measure/monitor this). This includes the transformation and visualisation of sensory and management data into information that supports decision-making and implementation of precision management routines through multi-level data analysis. The course includes the principles of work with inter- as well as multidisciplinary communication aimed at product development
