Greenhouse gas mitigation potential of current precision livestock technologies on Scottish beef farms - Policy Brief

Current commercially available precision livestock farming (PLF) technologies have the potential to indirectly reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from beef farms by improving production efficiency. Modelling based on real Scottish beef farm data showed that three PLF technologies - automatic weighing platforms, health sensors, and fertility sensors - reduced emission intensities on average, although impacts varied across production systems and technologies.
