Innovative PLF Tool to Assess Growing-Finishing Pigs’ Welfare
Cruz, V.; Rico, J.C.; Coelho, D.; Baptista, F.J.The main goal of the AWARTECH project (Animal Welfare Adjusted Real Time Envi ronmental Conditions of Housing) was to develop an innovative precision livestock tool that will support and reinforce the pig value chain, through the management of solutions based on monitoring, analysis and control of environmental, physiological, behaviour and animal performances parameters. Environmental data was collected by sen...
AWARTECH project: from laboratory experiments to farm conditions
Cruz, V.; Baptista, F.J.; Rico, J.C.; Coelho, D.Production intensification with the focus on self-supply or higher competitiveness may lead to decrease animal welfare conditions. Also, intensive production systems, characterized by high animal density, can potentially reduce animal health and welfare, as well as complicate individual monitoring and control process. In this sense, it is important to provide animal producers with precision livestock farming to...
Use of a Proximity Index to evaluate the influence of environmental conditions ...
Cruz, V.; Baptista, F.J.; Rico, J.C.; Coelho, D.This study was realized in the frame of the BIOma Project. The main goal was to create and develop an innovative precision livestock farming tool to support and reinforce the pig value chain. The environmental conditions have a great impact in animals’ welfare. Animal welfare can be measured through some behavioural, physiological, productive and health indicators. In order to evaluate the impact of the environ...
