LEB5045 - Precision Livestock Farming II: Applications in Supply Chains

Credit hours

Instructor
Iran Jose Oliveira da Silva

Objective
The course is designed to foster students' abilities to:
* Develop animal precision livestock farming (PLV) concepts and its applications with emphasis on
productivity and management.
* Integrate knowledge of electronics and control with new concepts in the area of animal science in the
resolution of a project.
* Apply the principles of PLV in different production chains, in air conditioning, control environments and
studies on behavior and welfare of animals.
* Apply these principles to the management of agricultural holdings involving research and the existing
technological advances in the globalized world.
* Interpret, critically evaluate and transmit scientific information on the technical results of precision
animal applied, both in Brazil and abroad, covering the transfer of technology to the productive system.
* Provide a direct analysis in industrial operations involving information technology and intelligent
systems with the technological tools available.

Content
Application of the basic concepts of precision of Animal Science and concepts of animals such as
biosensors for the different chains. (Cattle, pigs, and poultry).
In broilers chains and posture, swine, dairy cattle and cut associate:
- Application of specific sensors in different types of buildings and farms as well in control of the
production environment;
- Implementation of the decision-making systems and intelligent equipment for data recording and
transmission of data in real time.
- Projects of the future facilities, associating differences concepts to equalize: equipment, nutrition,
animal behavior and air conditioning environments in production conditions. - Seminars.
