Precision livestock farming holds significant promise for improving animal health, efficiency, and environmental sustainability, but adoption is hindered by economic risks and limited commercial availability. Farmers are hesitant to invest in these technologies without clear evidence of a return on investment, and the complexity of some precision systems further complicates their implementation. Additionally, data ownership remains a contentious issue, with producers concerned about who controls the valuable data generated by these systems and how it is used.
