General Conclusions
PLF offers fully automated continuous real time detailed
monitoring and management of animals.
PLF brings the farmer to the individual animals that need
his/her attention, active management tool.
PLF is a tool that helps farmers and stakeholders.
PLF will allow the animals to drive the system.
Efficient implementation of PLF needs collaboration between
researchers, farmers, industry and stakeholders!
