Farming has never been an easy occupation and it will never appeal to those looking to get money for nothing. But there are changes afoot that will make farming considerably more profitable for those willingly to work at it.
Chief on that list of changes is big data. You’ve no doubt heard of big data being used to increase plant yields on farms. But it’s moving to livestock management too.
Just as big data is now being used to incorporate genetics in precision medicine for humans, so will it also be used to treat livestock more effectively soon. Veterinarians are already beginning to use big data to better diagnose and select medicines that will bring about the best outcome in any given animal. Yes, it’s precision medicine for animals!
