Infrared thermography (IRT) is a noninvasive and safe method of displaying the temperature map of objects that can be used to detect hoof diseases and lameness to reduce significant financial costs and physically stress animals. A qualitative bibliometric method based on the analysis of publications by the authors themselves using sophisticated tools of scientific databases was applied in this work. This review presents the fundamentals of IRT as well as recent developments in IRT detection in dairy science, including preprocessing, segmentation, and classification of objects in IRT images. In addition, recent studies dealing with the detection of hoof diseases and lameness using IRT are reviewed. As a result of this study, select previous studies are confronted in terms of technical aspects of IRT measurements such as emissivity, distance, temperature range, and reflected air temperature. Subsequently, recommendations for future IRT measurements are discussed.

“…This invasive procedure requires that the animal be manually restrained and handled [ 20 ], which would lead to stress-induced hyperthermia. Shortcomings of these conventional temperature measurement methods make them not practical for regular heat stress monitoring [ 21 ]. For an accurate, reliable, and continuous measurement of body temperature, farmers can deploy biologgers such as telemetry devices or the radio-telemetry data loggers by integrating with halters or collar/leg sensors for larger animals such as cows, pigs, and horses.…”

Despite recent scientific advancements, there is a gap in the use of technology to measure signals, behaviors, and processes of adaptation physiology of farm animals. Sensors present exciting opportunities for sustained, real-time, non-intrusive measurement of farm animal behavioral, mental, and physiological parameters with the integration of nanotechnology and instrumentation. This paper critically reviews the sensing technology and sensor data-based models used to explore biological systems such as animal behavior, energy metabolism, epidemiology, immunity, health, and animal reproduction. The use of sensor technology to assess physiological parameters can provide tremendous benefits and tools to overcome and minimize production losses while making positive contributions to animal welfare. Of course, sensor technology is not free from challenges; these devices are at times highly sensitive and prone to damage from dirt, dust, sunlight, color, fur, feathers, and environmental forces. Rural farmers unfamiliar with the technologies must be convinced and taught to use sensor-based technologies in farming and livestock management. While there is no doubt that demand will grow for non-invasive sensor-based technologies that require minimum contact with animals and can provide remote access to data, their true success lies in the acceptance of these technologies by the livestock industry.

“…Acoustic monitoring (or vocalization measurement) is a non-invasive and an accurate method of measuring biological responses in livestock; it can be used as an indicator of animal well-being in precision livestock farming, which focusses on addressing animal welfare concerns by facilitating the automated, continuous monitoring of livestock and enabling timely and appropriate interventions (Bishop et al, 2019).…”

“…Studies that have attempted to show the correlation between broiler outer body temperature and core body temperature used IR cameras under well-controlled research conditions (Giloh et al, 2012). The high-quality IR cameras used in such studies are expensive and remain impractical for commercial applications (Bloch et al, 2019). PPG has contact requirements, so its advanced version, photoplethysmographic imaging (PPGI), is being considered for use in livestock.…”
