PA Innovations in livestock, grazing systems and rangeland management to improve landscape productivity and sustainability
Innovative precision agriculture (PA) technologies are
increasingly being used in the plant industries whilst similar
techniques and opportunities have been slow to evolve
in the grazing industries. The need for improved animal
production efficiency is driving many producers to evaluate
the PA technologies that could be applied in grazing systems,
from site specific management (SSM) of fertiliser, objective
pasture biomass measurement, individual animal production
assessment and automatic livestock monitoring technologies
(ALMS). This paper explores some of these, including
SSM, ALMS, walk-over-weigh and remote automated
drafting technologies in the context of their potential
value for graziers seeking to implement them.
