Artificial intelligence (AI) integration in precision livestock farming involves incorporating AI technologies into farming operations to improve efficiency and productivity while conserving resources. This approach utilizes sensors, data analytics, and machine learning algorithms to monitor animal health, behavior, and environmental conditions.
The primary types of AI in precision livestock farming include machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing (NLP). Machine learning focuses on developing algorithms that enable computers to learn from data and make predictions or decisions, thus advancing AI applications in precision livestock farming. Livestock types such as dairy cattle, poultry, swine, and aquaculture benefit from AI technologies. Various technology providers, including startups, agricultural equipment manufacturers, established tech companies, and research institutions, contribute to activities such as automated animal health monitoring, precision feeding, environmental monitoring, disease detection and prevention, reproduction management, behavioral analysis, animal welfare, and data analytics. These advancements aim to optimize livestock production systems with precision and efficiency, ultimately benefiting both farmers and consumers.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid escalation of U.S. tariffs and emerging trade disputes in spring 2025 are having a profound impact on the agriculture sector by driving up the costs of essential inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, and machinery components sourced from international markets. Higher duties on imported agrochemicals and farm equipment have substantially increased operational expenses for farmers. At the same time, retaliatory tariffs from key global buyers have reduced demand for major U.S. agricultural exports, including corn, wheat, and dairy, straining farm incomes. In response, many producers are exploring crop diversification, investing in precision agriculture to optimize resource use, and calling for government support through subsidies and improved trade access.
The artificial intelligence (AI) in precision livestock farming market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides artificial intelligence (AI) in precision livestock farming market statistics, including artificial intelligence (AI) in precision livestock farming industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a artificial intelligence (AI) in precision livestock farming market share, detailed artificial intelligence (AI) in precision livestock farming market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the artificial intelligence (AI) in precision livestock farming industry. This artificial intelligence (AI) in precision livestock farming market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The artificial intelligence (ai) in precision livestock farming market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $2.11 billion in 2024 to $2.7 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing precision farming, the rise of predictive analytics, rising demand for high-quality livestock products, increasing precision agriculture, and growing concerns about animal welfare.
The artificial intelligence (ai) in precision livestock farming market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $6.73 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising smart farming techniques, the need for efficient livestock management, rising global population and food demand, increasing demand for sustainable agriculture, focus on animal health and disease management, and the need for resilience to climate change. Major trends in the forecast period include automated monitoring, disease detection and prevention, automated feeding systems, automated climate control systems, computer vision technologies, the internet of things (IoT), remote monitoring and management, and advancements in sensor technology.
The forecast of 25.7% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. There is potential for direct impact on the US due to restricted supply of artificial intelligence (AI)-powered health monitoring systems and automated milking technologies from Israel and Sweden, which may reduce herd management efficiency. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rising consumption of poultry and dairy products is expected to be a significant driver behind the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) in the precision livestock farming market in the coming years. Poultry and dairy product consumption encompasses food items derived from poultry (such as chickens, turkeys, and ducks) and dairy animals (such as cows, goats, and sheep). This consumption trend is driven by factors such as a growing population and increased awareness of the nutritional benefits of these products. AI technology is increasingly integrated into precision livestock farming practices for poultry and dairy production, aiming to enhance operational efficiency, monitor animal health, optimize feed management, and streamline reproductive practices. These AI-driven initiatives are expected to foster increased productivity and sustainability in the livestock farming sector. For example, data from the European Commission (EC) indicated a 0.8% increase in raw milk production in the EU during the initial six months of 2023, highlighting the growing demand and production levels in the dairy sector, which is driving the adoption of AI in precision livestock farming.
Major players in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector within the precision livestock farming market are actively developing and deploying advanced technological solutions, such as automated feeding systems, to further improve animal health and optimize production efficiency. Automated feeding systems utilize AI algorithms to analyze real-time data gathered from various sensors, including those monitoring animal behavior, weight, and environmental conditions. For instance, Precision Livestock Technologies Inc., a US-based provider of software and hardware solutions for livestock feeding and health, introduced an AI system in January 2024 designed to predict cattle feed intake and offer feeding recommendations. This system leverages data from PLT's Bunk Management System and external sources to enhance feeding strategies, providing daily quantitative feeding predictions to optimize feeding practices based on factors such as feeding rates, times, cattle behavior, ration type, and weather conditions.
In March 2024, GEA Group AG, a Germany-based engineering company, made an undisclosed acquisition of CattleEye Ltd., an Ireland-based agricultural software company specializing in AI-based livestock management and health monitoring solutions. This strategic move by GEA underscores the industry's focus on leveraging AI technologies to improve dairy farm operations, enhance animal health and welfare, and drive overall efficiency in precision livestock farming practices.
