Animal welfare has become a fundamental aspect of livestock production, but its assessment remains a challenge. The EU-funded ClearFarm project intends to use Precision livestock farming (PLF) technology to increase animal welfare in the whole production chain of dairy cows and pigs. It will co-design, develop and validate a platform that will inform both farmers and consumers to assist their decision-making.
To better understand the needs and preferences of dairy and pig farmers when using precision livestock technologies to assess animal welfare, ClearFarm carried out a survey with farmers of the Netherlands, Spain and Finland.
According to a survey conducted within the ClearFarm project, consumers from the Netherlands, Spain, Finland and Italy evaluated different functionalities of a ClearFarm app for sharing and integrating precision data in the dairy cow and pig sector.
