Abstract

Information Technology (IT) is a general term that describes any technology that helps to produce, manipulate, store, communicate and/ or disseminate information. This review aims to evaluate Biometric sensing information technology as a tool for tackling animal production challenges. Animal husbandry offers better scope for marginal farmers whose income from agriculture is dwindling fast due to vagaries of monsoon, fragmentation of landholdings, pest problems, poor pricing, etc..The impact of ICT in domestic animal production may not be felt as expected if the information needed by rural farmers is not well communicated. The use of biometric sensors is currently being used to improve the health and well being of animals and ameliorate behavioral issues. The use of this technology will bring about early detection and treatment of animal disease which lean to more profitability
