DESCRIPTION:This presentation explores the transformative potential of data
 -driven precision systems in the livestock sector\, focusing on opportunit
 ies and challenges in implementing Applied Informatics for Livestock Manag
 ement. Interdisciplinary research\, Precision Livestock Farming\, and Big 
 Data Management are reshaping traditional dairy\, poultry and swine manage
 ment while considering climate change and sustainability. Delve into the i
 nterplay between machine learning\, predictive analysis\, and cloud-based 
 simulation tools as they revolutionize global agriculture. Discover how co
 mputer science\, precision systems\, and big data analytics contribute to 
 climate-smart\, controlled-environment food production\, enhancing sustain
 ability\, animal welfare\, and productivity in the agri-food industry. Usi
 ng AI-enabled technologies and comprehensive data management\, farmers can
  closely monitor livestock and make data-driven decisions for optimized fa
 rming practices. Decision support platforms and data analytical approaches
  help farmers and producers identify patterns in large datasets\, improvin
 g operations and profitability while mitigating climate change impacts. Th
 e presentation also examines the use of virtual and augmented reality tech
 nologies\, such as the metaverse\, for simulating climate- controlled live
 stock environments and refining decision-making. Ethical considerations of
  precision livestock farming\, emphasizing animal welfare\, environmental 
 sustainability\, and climate resilience\, are discussed\, underlining the 
 transformative potential of digital technologies and automation in the fut
 ure of agriculture.\n\nAbout the speaker\n\nSuresh Neethirajan\, PhD\n\nHa
 ving earned his MSc and PhD in Biosystems Engineering from the University 
 of Manitoba\, he further enriched his expertise with a recent certificate 
 in Applied Data Science from MIT in 2022. A seasoned academic with two NSE
 RC postdoctoral fellowships under his belt\, Dr. Neethirajan has bolstered
  his credentials through research engagements at esteemed institutions suc
 h as the Oak Ridge National Laboratory of USA and the National Food Resear
 ch Institute of Japan. His impressive portfolio spans across Wageningen Un
 iversity & Research and the University of Guelph\, where he served as an A
 ssociate Professor.\n
