Implementation of technology and information systems (IOT) to support sustainable livestock development: Future challenges and perspectives

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to provide a comprehensive understanding of the implementation of technology and information systems to realize sustainable livestock development through Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) and the Internet of Things (IoT). The literature study method was used in this study to search electronic data in order to write a collection of journals, publications, books, and websites, then analyze various kinds of literature that combines, among others, coding framework, in-depth assessment, and conclusions. We used a phenomenological approach, by trying to get the widest possible data, then trying to get a deep understanding, so that it becomes a valid and convincing finding. Sources of literature information used were various data published from 2005 to 2021 using the Google search application to find information using keywords such as Precision Livestock Farming (PLF), Internet of Things (IoT), sustainable livestock, creativity, innovation, and some which were related to this study. The results of this study indicated that digital technologies such as PLF and IoT can develop sustainable agriculture and animal husbandry. Management automation in livestock business with the application of these technologies can increase the capacity of livestock production systems.
