DESCRIPTION:The contemporary development of the technologies to support Pr
 ecision Agriculture and Human Telemedicine has resulted in the availabilit
 y of novel platforms for animal monitoring. In modern animal production sy
 stems a requirement for automated animal monitoring in relation to health 
 and welfare as well as growth and performance will facilitate more precise
  and efficient management of larger herds\, flocks and facilities with few
 er personnel. The presentation will address the development and applicatio
 n of sensors and systems for the remote monitoring of environmental variab
 les\, animal behaviour\, biomechanical variables and physiological variabl
 es in relation to animal welfare (and health) and how these may be integra
 ted in to control and management systems. \n
