PLF Faculty Interest

The Office of the Vice President of Research is bringing interested parties together from across the university to explore forming a Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) Initiative, a transdisciplinary effort involving not only researchers, but also industry and farmer partners. The goal is ultimately to stand up high-functioning teams that can address all aspects of PLF and successfully apply for relevant funding opportunities in this area. This emerging topic intersects economic, ethical, societal, and environmental aspects of applying data science to animal agriculture and genomics, production animal health and welfare, food science, monitoring technology, bioinformatics and workforce development.
