Abstract
This systematic review, which analyzed 75 articles published between 2019 and 2024, investigated the application of Precision Livestock Farming (PLF) technologies in pig farming. Using a rigorous methodology, including SWOT analysis and categorization into four thematic groups, the research identified that 37% of the studies focused on animal identification and monitoring, while 28% addressed animal welfare. The SWOT analysis revealed that PLF offers significant opportunities to improve animal welfare, optimize production processes, and reduce environmental impact. The results of this research can guide the development of research to promote the adoption of PLF technologies in pig farming, contributing to a more sustainable and efficient sector.
