Data Networking in Precision Livestock Farming for Improved Calf Rearing

1. The established calf feeding and monitoring system allows to get individual, highly resolved data. 2. By networking, the data of the single technologies can be fed into one common database. 3. Control measurements are necessary to validate the technical acquired data. 4. Early illness is detectable and fore stomach growth can be estimated. 5. After further processing and data networking, algorithms have to be developed for the implementation within a knowledge-based decision support system.
