The brand-new EU coordination project BrightAnimal on Precision Livestock Farming was launched last week in Halifax, UK. The project will in the next two year try to come up with a framework for acceptable and practical precision lifestock farming and produce a book and 4 very practical guides for farmers how to use such techniques for their benefit.

The opening conference was attended by a very international audience with very broad background. Lively discussion on technology, economics and social aspects were mixed with presentations from a large variety of stakeholders. The conference was highly successful in discussing relevant subject and initiating a world-wide network of stakeholders in Precision Livestock Farming.

The undersigned is the Technical Coordinator of the project and leads the activity on traceability. Here is a presentation which you might find interesting. If you do, please let me know. We are trying to come up with some that really makes sense, so don't hold back!
