Interpretive Summary: From isolated data to integrated ecosystems: the artificial intelligence revolution in precision livestock farming

By: Victor E Cabrera, Mutian Niu

The global livestock and poultry farming systems are navigating an unprecedented paradigm shift. Faced with the compounding pressures of rising global protein demand, climate change, labor shortages, and increasing societal scrutiny regarding animal welfare, the agricultural sector is rapidly turning to digital solutions. Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a frontier concept confined to computer science laboratories; it is rapidly becoming the core engine driving the modernization of animal science, leading to novel on-farm applications.

This issue of Animal Frontiers offers a comprehensive exploration of this digital transformation.
