Precision DairyThe overall aim of this research is to build knowledge and expertise to underpin the development and adoption of advanced tools to optimise farm production, mitigate labour constraints, improve animal welfare and broaden lifestyle choices. The project will focus on the use of automation technology to reduce manual labour and information technology to increase output via better decision making. |
Expected outcomes of this project
| Benefit |
| Farmers make informed decisions when investing in automation and information technologies leading to more cost-effective capital investment |
| Improved methods for using information and automation technologies to monitor animal status (e.g. heat, mastitis, lameness), lead to improvements in animal health, labour efficiency and farm performance (e.g. pasture performance database) |
| Enhanced ability to work with technology providers fast tracks the adoption of technologies that deliver improved on-farm productivity |
