Precision Livestock Farming: Integrating Microfluidic Sensors for Enhanced Health Monitoring

Abstract

Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) has emerged as a revolutionary approach to modern animal agriculture, leveraging advanced technologies to enhance farm management and animal well-being. This paper explores the integration of microfluidic sensors in PLF systems for improved health monitoring of livestock. Microfluidics, with its capacity for miniaturization and high-throughput analysis, presents a novel avenue for real-time, continuous monitoring of biomarkers indicative of animal health. This review discusses recent developments in microfluidic sensor applications within PLF, highlighting their potential to transform livestock management practices, enhance disease detection, and optimize overall herd health.
