Animals generate signals about their health, welfare, and performance, but those signals are often difficult to detect early or interpret consistently at scale. This session explores how connected monitoring, farm-management systems, and analytics can help producers better understand animal behavior, identify changes sooner, and make informed operational decisions. Using practical examples from animal production, David Speller will demonstrate how animal, environmental, and production data can be connected to support decision-making, improve consistency, and enable greater automation over time, while people continue to provide oversight and remain accountable for operational outcomes.
