THE FUSE

South African livestock farming is experiencing a transformation as new technologies are adopted to improve productivity, efficiency, and animal health. Farmers are increasingly turning to digital tools, data analytics, and precision farming methods to manage herds, monitor animal welfare, and optimize production. These innovations are helping producers respond to challenges such as climate variability, disease management, and market demands while reducing operational costs. From small-scale communal farmers to large commercial operations, technology is shaping the way livestock is raised across the country.
