Summary: Grazing dairy farmers may benefit from using on-farm precision technologies. However, the adoption of technology on grazing dairy farms is a challenge because of the lack of research-based information that addresses the accuracy and profitability of using technologies. In the future, pasture-based dairy farms are likely to rely on digital and automation technologies to improve animal health, reproduction, and well-being monitoring, pasture management, and labor productivity. Wearable animal technologies, remote sensing such as satellite imagery, unmanned aerial vehicles, virtual fencing, and automated animal herding, as well as ground-based sensing and automation, will provide potential solutions.
