Precision Livestock Farming
Decision Support Tools
Science-backed interactive tools to help researchers and farmers identify, evaluate, and implement the most effective PLF technologies for their specific operation.
Answer 6 questions about your farm to receive personalised, evidence-based PLF technology recommendations.
Live Tool 📊Estimate capital payback periods, investment requirements, and annual returns adjusted for regional markets.
Live Tool 🔬Filter and search the PLFHub database of peer-reviewed literature by species, technology, and outcome.
Live Tool 🌡️Calculate Temperature-Humidity Index for cattle or poultry, and map precise microclimate cooling interventions.
Live Tool 📷Determine ground resolution in pixels-per-centimeter and evaluate deep learning YOLO model feasibility.
Live Tool 🐂Estimate live cattle body volume and weight from 3D camera spatial coordinate scans (Holstein, Angus, Hereford).
Live Tool 🐔Calculate minimum ventilation rates required to dilute toxic ammonia and carbon dioxide levels based on flock biomass.
Live Tool 🌾Calculate Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR), cost per kg live weight gain, and model how PLF microclimate tuning reduces feed loss.
Live Tool ⚡Compare precision livestock sensors side-by-side (Nofence vs Vence, Lely vs DeLaval, Star-Oddi loggers, and microclimate IoT probes).
