Sustainable Precision Animal Agriculture

Through the Sustainable Precision Animal Agriculture platform, we seek to provide Research, Extension and Education opportunities to help address critical opportunities and challenges associated with incorporating technologies into intensive and extensive animal production systems, the associated cropping systems responsible for feed production, and the food manufacturing systems responsible for delivering safe, affordable food to the growing population.
