Short summary
Globally, water buffalo livestock farming accounts for approximately 200 million animals; the use of precision livestock farming (PLF) technologies, which are becoming widespread in dairy cattle livestock farming, is explored for water buffalo livestock farming by adapting the system for the use of water buffalo enterprises. In this study, the possibilities of using PLF technologies in water buffaloes are presented by surveying the breeders and by SWOT analysis according to the survey results.
