Description: NewTech4Rum Project aims at the development of precision farming technologies and their implementation in the management of extensively farmed migrating small and large ruminants.
Objectives:
- Development of new technologies deploying sensory devices (such as accelerometers, thermometers, pedometers and global positioning systems-GPS) appropriate for use in livestock farming.
- Application optimization oriented to extensively farmed migrating small and large ruminants.
- Collection of animal activity data (running, grazing, eatin, etc).
- Export high level information from collected data to improve farming.
- Dissemination of the results to improve the sustainability of the system developed.
