Precision animal production: basic principles and news in the swine production

Abstract

This study was conducted with the objective of identifying the insertion of Precision Animal Production in the current pig production model and its potential to the improvement of the production system, based on engineering principles processes, as well as animals physiological, physical and biological parameters in the text the technological principles that serve as basis for precision technology and the key challenges facing the development as well as presenting several concrete examples of its international practice and in the country were addressed. It is expected, through the dissemination of interactive and dynamic systems, to cite some applications, such as animal identification, behavioral aspects, physical environment animal facilities and emissions of gases, with emphasis on improvement in performance indexes within the rules of animal welfare.
