Abstract:
Traditional cattle production practices relied heavily on manual observation and
empirical decision-making, often leading to inconsistent outcomes. In contrast,
modern approaches leverage technology to achieve greater precision and efficiency.
Advancement in technology has shifted to a new dimension of predictive and
monitoring in cattle health management. This review aims at highlighting the
available and current digital technologies in cattle health, evaluate their utility in
practice, and identify possible future advancements in the field that can potentially
bring even more changes to this industry. The paper highlights some of the barriers
and disadvantages of using these technologies, such as data security issues, high
capital investments, and skills gap. The integration of these advanced technologies
is set to play a fundamental role in enabling the livestock industry to meet the rising
global demand for high-quality, sustainably produced products. These technologies
are essential for ensuring compliance with ethical standards and best practices in
cattle care and well-being. In light of these advancements, the application of digital
innovations will support the achievement of socially responsible cattle production,
while simultaneously maintaining optimal levels of animal health and welfare
