Summary

The project will provide data and evidence for local producers about
a. the value of using drone technologies (infra-red and sensors) to monitor paddocks for FOO and sheep temperatures to increase animal welfare, and
b. the value of continuously monitoring the temperature of pigs using infra-red technologies for early identification of infection and lowering of death rates.
c. the value of using technologies to increase profitability for their enterprise
