Review on Prospects of Precision Livestock farming in Ethiopia

Assefa Adane

Livestock sector holds large share of contribution to the bio-economy and overall food production by increasing crop productivity through manure and animal traction power supply. Integrating livestock into the circular bio-economy can be enhanced by increasing the not only the edible products and direct sources of services from livestock but also share of by-products or waste that humans cannot eat in the livestock feed ration or by recycling and treating nutrients and energy from animal waste. Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) is potentially one of the most powerful avenues for developments interventions in the livestock sector in particulars as well as the national development at large amongst a number of interesting new and upcoming technologies that have the potential to revolutionize the livestock farming industry. It is used to boost farm profitability, efficiency and sustainability by improving the breeding, nutritional, environmental and other management aspects of various livestock species. The challenge and the success of farming lie in how precisely we can intensify our farming practices in the long run.
