#68 - Precision Livestock Farming: A Game Changer in Swine Health - Dr. Babatope Akinyemi

As precision livestock farming (PLF) continues to evolve, researchers are exploring future possibilities to improve animal welfare and enhance the swine industry. As we see, these technologies gain attention not only from farmers, but also from customers.

He gives us valuable insights into the nuances of PLF and its potential to bridge the gap between producers and consumers, and also shares his findings on consumer willingness to pay for PLF adoption within the swine industry.
