Abstract
Implications
• Big data collected on farms can be transformed into useful
information to improve decision making and maximize productivity. A swine management system consisting of tools
(software and devices), with a protocol and standard operative procedures, can generate the necessary information for
the decision-making process.
• New technologies such as electronic feeders and artificial intelligence systems capturing big data will provide a better understanding of animal requirements and behavior, increasing
efficiency and sustainability.
• Biosecurity can be improved using tracking devices for
farm staff, recording movements real-time to decrease disease risks and consequently, improve health and productive
performance.
