Field Horizon

Research on livestock production technology for emerging markets

Field Horizon assesses which digital and automated production systems are ready to scale in West African and Southeast Asian livestock agriculture, and what producers, vendors and development partners would need to get them there.

Focus

Demand for sustainable protein systems is growing in emerging markets. We study the technologies that could meet it.

Precision livestock systems

Sensors, computer vision and monitoring tools that track flocks and herds in housing and on pasture.

Production management software

Data platforms and predictive models for feed, growth, health and environmental control.

Automation across the chain

Equipment and control systems for hatcheries, feed mills, housing and processing.

Current work

Digital and AI tools in broiler and layer production

Landscape study, 2026–2027

We are mapping the commercial market for monitoring, management and automation systems in intensive poultry production, and assessing which are suited to mid-sized producers in West Africa.

First findings are expected in 2027.

If your company develops livestock technology and is considering emerging markets, we would like to include your systems in the study. Get in touch.
