Summary

Veterinarians are generally more optimistic than producers about the benefits of precision livestock farming (PLF). Both groups see value in PLF for improving piglet survival, reducing lameness, and addressing respiratory issues, but veterinarians prioritize health outcomes, while producers weigh broader operational factors when deciding whether to adopt the technology.
