The global market for precision livestock farming (PLF) was valued at $3.80 billion in 2023 and is expected to grow to $8.76 billion by 2033 (Spherical Insights LLP, 2024). This chapter begins by defining what PLF is and briefly reviews its origins and development. It then takes a step back to review the broader context into which PLF fits, reviewing trends in livestock production, the increasingly complex challenges it faces and those related to understanding animals as highly complex systems. It then provides an overview of developments in differing PLF technologies in addressing this width of challenges before assessing the issue of uptake of PLF technologies. The chapter aims to show the opportunities PLF provides to the animal production sector in offering solutions for the major challenges that it faces.
